Has anybody confronted any JWs with the Royal Commission reports on the news yet?
I showed my 8-year old daughter a newspaper headline about it, and when she told my JW wife that the JWs in Australia were in trouble for not reporting over 1,000 child abusers to police, her response was "Oh, really? Well, I don't know what the rules are over there."
"Oh, really? Well, I don't know what the rules are over there."
Wow, that's lame. Really lame.
It's on the BBC web-site. I imagine UK newspapers will pick up on the story too.
Oubilette: "Oh, really? Well, I don't know what the rules are over there."
Wow, that's lame. Really lame.
It sure reveals their lack of independent thought.
The JWs are a rule based culture. They view the world as split into "worldly rules" and "our rules". And of course, worldly rules are bad and their rules are good.
I don't think the JWs are capable of viewing the world in any other way except rule based. The JWs use their "rules" as a safety fence that protects them from that big, bad world out there. Only trouble is, those rules are what keeps the wolves inside the fence instead of keeping them out.
disillusioned 2 I am in UK and as far as I know there has been nothing in the news or newspapers over here
It's been in the Telegraph, Mirror, Daily Mail, Guardian and on the BBC.
To not know about it you'd have to be like the elder interviewed today - someone who doesn't watch the news or listen to the radio.
They would probably have to search for "Jehovah's Australia'' though, if they were to see all of the results.
You could send a link like this to any JW's you know, if are not df'd that is, perhaps just saying "have you seen all these stories about us?"
