JWs waking up?

That’s why, over the past week, ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses have been crashing meetings at Kingdom Halls (their churches) in order to let members know what’s really going on. They pose as believers and sit through the sermon, but then, during a time when visitors can get access to the microphone, the protesters spew facts about the Witnesses and the abuse scandals.

Imagine protesters yelling from the rafters on Capitol Hill or during a confirmation hearing. They’ll be whisked away soon enough, and they know that, but not before they can make their point to those willing to listen.

On Sunday, YouTuber and ex-Witness Amy K. visited a Kingdom Hall in Kenosha, Wisconsin. When she had the opportunity, she told the crowd, “The money that we donate to the organization is going to protect pedophiles.”

I watched the video of the Kingdom Hall in Jersey. I'm personally sickened by this as much as I am sickened by the underlying issues that motivate Sam Young and drive his movement.

It disgusts me.

From the article linked.

This has nothing to do with love. This has nothing to do with God or the Bible. This has to do with their appearance. And that’s it. That is the only reason why they are not protecting their children.


Sound familiar?

Oh yeah. It's going on all over the place. Spiritual abuse mixed with physical and emotional abuse.
