5 #JehovahsWitnesses charged with sexual assault in Pennsylvania - UPI.com

> #Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle A. Henry announced the charges Friday, more than three years after opening multiple investigations.

>"The details of these crimes are sad and disturbing, facts which are made even more abhorrent because the defendants used their faith communities or their own families to gain access to victims," Henry said in a statement. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/09/pennsylvania-jehovah-witness-abuse-charges/9581688941029/

Two scripted videos about "#disfellowshipping" will not be shown to #Jehovah’s #Witnesses during their 2023 Regional Convention. Here's what they showed and why they were censored.

After testimony during the public hearing earlier this week - which included statements from those concerned about (and intimately affected by) the policies and practices of #JehovahsWitnesses around CSA - a #WashingtonState House committee progressed #SB5280 with changes that would make every #JW Elder in the state a #MandatoryReporter if the bill is passed into law.

Shock
Terror fills
Minds of worshipers,
Fear casts a shadow,
Terror.

About the German who murdered several Jehovah's Witnesses, Wikipedia (as I write this) says he "was not known as an extremist" and also, "he self-published a book [that] claims ... to have visited hell for three years and to have 'angelic fans'. It interpreted the Russian invasion of Ukraine as God's cleansing of Ukrainian sex workers."

Maybe it's just me, but I think believing that is religious extremism.

Speaking of #CultsInAmerica , when I was in college one of my great uncles once told me that he and his wife had become #JehovahsWitnesses because they were convinced (by other #JehovahsWitnesses ) that the #CatholicChurch they had grown up in was a cult! 😂

His wife tried to recruit me by telling me that #JehovahsWitnesses had more and better sex! 😘🤮

Such an unjustifiably vile and senseless act of violence against such peaceful and defenceless worshippers.

My love goes out to all effected by this mindless brutality. 😭❤️

Jehovah is watching.

#JEHOVAHSWITNESSES HAVE BEEN THE MOST STEADFAST CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS SINCE WORLD WAR I, & CONTINUE TO PAY THE PRICE:
EVER ASK YOURSELF WHY KINGDOM HALLS DON'T HAVE WINDOWS?

Some 175,000 people in Germany are Jehovah’s Witnesses, including 3,800 in Hamburg. The Christian movement set up in the US in the late 19th century preaches non-violence and is known for door-to-door evangelism.

Toots & memes about #ETmovie are inevitable with the ongoing #SpyBalloon saga & #UFO/ #UAP speculation.

TBH I've never watched ET, as it came out around the time my mom joined #JehovahsWitnesses. This "Christian sect" i.e. #cult🤬, bans any content that contradicts their strict interpretation of the Bible. Former child-#JW around my age will remember that we couldn't watch #TheSmurfs either... WTH?! 🤦🏿‍♂️

I've been trying to catch up missed 80s movies, so I think I'll stream ET tonight 😂

TBH as someone raised in #JehovahsWitnesses "religion", nothing shocks me anymore.🙄

Hearing the familiar stories of #ReligiousTrauma and #Deconstruction from other faith traditions like, #Mormon, #JehovahsWitnesses, #Baptist, etc., gives me a better understanding of my own experience growing up as a Seventh-day #Adventist.

We are more similar than some might think.

Religious sexual abuse of children is not confined to Catholic priests. From the Australian Royal commission on sexual abuse by institutions: Jehovah's Witnesses (Repost).
