    In the wake of the anti-gay cartoon, the CoC (Dutch LGBT rights organization) invited Watchtower Netherlands to discuss how Watchtower is dealing with LGBT people in their ranks. Focus of the meeting would be on making sure LGBT JW feel safe and fully accepted.

    Today several newspapers are reporting that the branch declined the invitation, stating that they 'can't imagine LGBT JW feeling unsafe. The branch won't talk to CoC, but they might discuss internally with LGBT JW.'

    That answer is on a par with Jackson's not presuming to be the only source of gods will on earth.

    Nice footage Anders! The COC rightfully says it's unbelievable that JW headquarters don't want to talk about safety regarding JW LGBT's while they ALWAYS want to talk about their beliefs.

    Also great CoC offers support for JW LGBT's that want to discuss this matter within the Borg.

    Talking about human rights!!! It seems WT again will be put to shame by satan's ungodly system of things.

    They are not prepared to co-operate with the higher authorities, they have to be forced through legal means.

    Good find, Anders.

    So, the WT won't even meet with COC (Dutch LGBT group). This suggests that they aren't confident of their stance.

    Perhaps, they might even be ashamed.

    I hope they are.

    Good for COC....taking the higher moral ground by offering support and guidance to WT regarding the recent video. That's an example of real brotherly love, not just getting angry and slamming WT for their ignorance but reaching out to them to help.

    WT would do well to learn from their example.

    The world's government and institutions are about to be replaced by God's kingdom and there will be no humans rights under this perfect theocracy. You do what you're told or you disappear. All it took Adam and Eve was to eat fruit...LGBT will not exist when humans are perfect nor will anyone need rights because they will naturally submit to the laws of their creator. Doesn't it all make sense? I just can't wait until that time. SHOOT ME KNOW!

    When there are none in their ranks it's hard to discuss - end of problem!
