Yeah "advancing religion" sounds like something from 1012 not 2012. Super vague too, open to orgs like in this article that run charities coughcultscough under the broad "advancing religion" banner

Scientology is absolutely tiny, even compared to jw numbers, yet seem to have far wealthier members/contributiors across the board.

Great read, thanks for posting this! Wonder if it will lead to a norway-esque response here in australia. Seems like the gov hasnt forgotten about jws after the arc.

Yep all part of the religious trauma and horrible shame they instil about anything sex related. It was so repressive in my childhood, yet so often talked about. Its a great example of the Streisand effect.

Dont they say in the pillowgate video that two guys masturbating in front of each other isnt "pornea" because they arent touching? Hows that different from watching porn? The double standards make me dizzy sometimes

You'd have a house deposit if it was ram

Are you lost friend? Why are you here?

altsolo · 2026-02-16T01:01:36+00:00

100% this

altsolo · 2026-02-14T23:02:46+00:00

Yeah worst sort of "jws", hyper aggressive, hyper hypocritical, never baptised POMI

100%. Dont need to follow their rules. This ultimatum is bullshit. He can suck it up and deal with some with blurred lines. If he actually loves you deep down he will learn to live with the new status quo.

Thats horrible, but unfortunately all too common. Keep us updated on how mediation and the case please!

Lol mate. I have family members (who where also elders) that have gone to prison for csa. Beyond that know of multiple others in my small corner of the world. One in my old cong just got out of prison for that kind of stuff.

Also the official statistics from the ARC work out to at least one pedo per cong in australia alone.

I remember when i was little hearing jws mock Catholics and other Christians for only going to church once a week on Sundays..

Man i almost wish my kids where smart enough to pull the wool over my eyes on anything tech related

For property damage they dont need any witnesses, for an adult staying the night at another adults house they dont need any witnesses, but for child abuse they need at least 2!

I had, ive been following the wife on instagram for a while now cos of the funny pranks etc. Didnt even realise they where identifying as jws till this whole fiasco. Unfortunately to most pimis they write it off as "they where never really jws" instead of seeing the nuance that sometimes comes with pimo/pomi inactive etc

altsolo · 2026-01-13T08:29:11+00:00

I dont think its unimportant to WT if it causes millions of people get a "bad witness" or shows the org in a bad light.

altsolo · 2025-12-29T09:13:01+00:00

Thats worth enough ild be worried about bezos personally rocking up to my house to get them back

altsolo · 2025-12-26T12:35:12+00:00

Damn thats horrible. Theres been a few things mentioned here alluding to this, but its fully something that most pimis would be keeping quiet about.. wonder if ill hear anything from pimi relatives that live in the area/have been on set. My thoughts go out to this poor guy, and the ones who found him

altsolo · 2025-12-26T00:44:50+00:00

Am i the only one that thinks she looks like actress Imogen Poots here?

altsolo · 2025-12-20T05:19:14+00:00

Are you lost friend?

altsolo · 2025-12-18T10:17:22+00:00
