Once again we see this nasty cult walking away from people in need.

I still remember rhp member @beauroberts who was bullied buy the leaders of his Kingdom Hall and him describing how they tried to come between him and his wife.

This cult is a social disaster and should be shut down.

It’s a shame our previously resident JWs, Bleep & Booster, aren’t here to help us understand how thier pernicious religious organisation is somehow not to blame and is being persecuted for being “awesome”, “beautiful” and “special”.

OMG, I wasn't aware of this story, or how pervasive and tragic this problem is.

I mean, I was aware that they shunned people, like the Amish do, but I wasn't aware how many of these people tried to take their own lives over it. This is not right and it is a tragedy in every sense of the word how they can get away with ruining people's lives like this.

His response to the victims mentioned in the OP would most likely have been "Haters gonna hate!"

Why do you think I’ve been banging on about it for several years. It’s horrible psychological bullying.

No, I understood that they did this, but wasn't fully aware of the impact it's had on the community. My disagreements with them have always focused on their bizarro doctrines.

Perhaps Galveston75 will swing by with a defensive salvo this weekend.
