Letter to Editor: National Charity Launches Support and Advice for Existing or EX Jehovah's Witnesses in the U.K. by Mike Ellis Chairman: NSCFC National Charity launches Support & Advice for existing or EX Jehovah's Witnesses in the UK News Flash as can be found here at http://www.nscfc.com/index.htm The charity...National Society for Children and Family Contact (NSCFC) now extends its Free and Confidential service in support of the long-term effects and sufferings of existing and ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. An increasingly concerning cause of Family Breakdown of an insidious nature is the result of the affiliation of at least one Family Member to this powerfully controlling religious Organisation. 1/ Any religious organisation/cult that separates Family Members using Mind Control and Fear must be challenged in the interest of The Children, Family Life and Society. 2/ Dictating an individual's right to contact with family members, especially The Children, clearly threatens the bonds, unity and natural love within the family Unit. 3/ The resulting Damage is so great that many adults, teenagers and children continue to feel the painful effects even after successfully pulling away from such an Organisation. For this reason we have brought onboard ex members all of whom have vast experience in how best to face, overcome and survive this brainwashing experience which can and does include child abuse and other unlawful acts the like of which is covered up by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (WTBT) Headquarter secrecy dictates to the exclusion of the police and local authorities and well documented as such worldwide. Contact Us National Society for Children and Family Contact (NSCFC) is a registered charity which believes that continuing contact with a child's parents or extended family after separation or divorce is vital for the child's balanced development and it works tirelessly to foster those all-important family contacts. As such we offer free support and advice to all those in need. Helpline at National rate also available 24/7 on 0870 794 0075 or at www.nscfc.com Mike Ellis
Now, if only we had the support of a charity here in the United States. The site has a feedback form if you would like to comment.

'mind control and fear'??? what on earth is he talking about? why would any family want to keep associating with someone who commits serious sin but then refuses to change? that is their choice to not change, and it is the family's choice to stop associating, to PRESERVE the family unit that is left...not because of fear.

Yeah I said it said...

thanks for posting this important information...it's good to see the word is out.

Dear Carl, I am talking about fear implanted in god-fearing people, that to appose the governing body is to be condemned to everlasting death. That to cover up and keep within the organization knowledge of sex offenders is somehow scriptural. I could go on but I leave the justification of the former up to you I ?

mike...i don't know of any requirement to 'fear the gb'. you should only fear Jehovah (rev 14:7). i'm not trying to justify anything. i just think there's way too much focus on how this post views the gb, and no focus on our responsibility before God.

Mike Ellis said...

Hi Carl, do you really expect any God-fearing person to believe that to keep in house files on child molesters is approved of God at the expense of future victims and the public at large? That to except, the I'm sorry ploy and all is forgiven, is being responsible towards both God and society alike?

mike...you're getting off topic. i said there wasn't anything in the bible about fearing the governing body.

Thank you Mike for posting this! Hudson Carl obviously has his head stuck up his a@@!!!! Or he is out of his effing mind!

I've seen the hurt, the betrayal, and the feelings of defeat that being disfellowshipped causes.

And I know for a FACT that the WTBTS hides pedophiles!!

'that is their choice to not change, and it is the family's choice to stop associating, to PRESERVE the family unit that is left.'

People DO change and lead moral lives, but are shunned just because they dont come back to the Kingdom Hall and put themselves under the control of the 'ORGANIZATION' again.

Dear Carl, No I'm really not trying to avoid the topic. Matthew 24:45-47 re the "faithful slave" are they not part and parcel of the governing body and as such the congregations are to acknowledge and conform to their guidance? if your answer is yes then to oppose them is to oppose Gods way of theocratic control on earth. So yes in reality there is relative fear within the worldwide organization re the GB
