My JW family would be drooling and dribbling with relish at the thought of such negative exposure for the Catholic Church. But!!! They would deny, deny, deny.......that there is any such problem within their religion. They would all rush to their tablets and bring jw.org up and prove they were spiritually clean by reading the orgs view of "other" religions and their failings. That is exactly what happens.

These men mentioned in this Australian newspaper, are making a fortune in pharmacy
driven alternatives to blood. They have influenced the amount of blood used in
hospitals, regardless of your; religious affiliation. I think the article above lends credence
to the "chilling" sort of feeling people get when they feel manouvred by some combined
group with too much influence

Article in Australian newspaper regarding jw shunning and charity
by umbertoecho inthis may have been posted before.
however, if you want to read the article about jw shunning and denial of this practice, then have a read.
there is mention of redefining "charity" in terms of how that operates.. http://www.smh.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.

Yes, the man lies barefaced about shunning. Incredible, considering the evidence of a shunning practice can quite easily be found in their own literature.
And, yes, it would be brilliant if the charities commission took a better look at what really constitutes a "charity".

Gates of Hades will not overpower the Congregation? 1900 Years with NO Congregation??
by FusionTheism inmatthew 16:18: also, i say to you: you are peter, and on this rock i will build my congregation, and the gates of the grave will not overpower it.. and yet, the very latest david splane video on tv.jw.org says there was no faithful slave for 1900 years and no true congregation, and perhaps not even any anointed living.. how does this scripture make any sense then?.

Infact. There were no people before............them. Not 'real' people anyway.
That was a wonderful mistake the society made; putting this David Splane chap up there denouncing everything for the past 1,900 years.
This doctrine is going to plague them in it's insupportable arrogance and lack of scriptural evidence.. I can hardly wait for the comments and counter arguments that will follow this splendid video.

Governing Body Mandating That Parents Shun DF'd Preteens Baptized Children Will Hurt Them Big Time In The Courts
by Brokeback Watchtower inas the bad conduct of the governing body becomes widely known to both judge and jury i expect that will make lawsuits more profitable against them and easier wins against them and more plentiful.. i think probably one of the most damming videos out there on the net is the one where the parents show their loyalty to the wt corporation and shun their own flesh and blood in obedience to it cruel directives.
this video truely shows that the governing body don't give a shit about the children who symbolize their dedication to the corporation or their parents.. such a self serving corporation that uses it members for profits only and offer nothing in return no matter how much how much they claim otherwise.
they can't hide this it is plain as day so no matter how much they claim they are concerned about the youth in the organization their action thunder loudly and can not be hiden under a basket.

I hope we are both right.! And "yes" they do seem to be distant from each other. She looks like she is not coping. This video is out there now as a testimony to this religions real beliefs and actions. No way can this be dressed up and dished out as "loving".

Last night's bible highlights: David was wrong to greive for his son!
by purrpurr inlast night's bible highlights was really eyebrow raising!
the brother pointed out at lenght about how david had wept when his son absalom was killed.
but that because absalom was killed while opposing jehovah that means that david was wrong and weak to greive for him.. it was applied to today by saying that if our children are df'd when they die then we should not grieve for them either!.

Thankyou.
It was a good thing in a way. It was the start of many questions about religion and giving my personal rights away to their authority. It shows that we don't have to rely upon any other group for our spiritual well being. I think these horrid people are worse off than I have ever been. I didn't lose my humanity. They never had it. And as a collective group.........they are losing all credibility as they stomp their way over the feelings of good people within the org and those who could have been persuaded to join.

What's the Watchtower's latest view on "The End" or "The Second Coming of Jesus Christ"? Most act like its not coming!
by MagicMItchJensen ini posted that article from the miami newspaper, others posted the united kingdom's articles on jws and isis.
what's the official position of the watchtower about the last days, are we in them or are we going to wait another 2,000 years like the jews believe?.
i remember arguing at work with friends that nostradamus end date of 3000 was wrong, are there other past prophets you know of who predicted the world's end past our time?.

No one has a clue, no religion or cult has the faintest idea of when the "end" will come. This is such an unhealthy approach to spirituality as various leaders of these religions or cults play on man's fear of non existence, and man;s desire to elevate his beliefs above all others. It's highly competitive and a great distraction from all that could be useful in the bible....especially the NTest.
These religions that play upon our desire for some sort of "immortality" are onto a good thing. They can change the rules endlessly, make promises, alter their history and make a buck into the bargain. And distract us from one essential point that Christ made..........No one knows the day or the hour.

"Keeping up with Jehovah's Chariot"
by FusionTheism inclarified understandings / new light of the past 7 years or so:.
* the faithful and discreet slave is only the governing body and only since 1919.. * the faithful slave was appointed in 1919 by jesus but it will not receive its greater authority until the judgment of the sheep and goats.. * charles taze russell was not part of the faithful and discreet slave.. * there was no slave for 1900 years before 1919.. * there may not have been any anointed during those 1900 years, but it's possible there were a few.. * 1935 was not the cut-off date for the selection of the anointed-- this selection is still ongoing.
* 1935 has no special biblical significance.. * 1918 has no special biblical significance.. * gog of magog is not satan, but is a coalition of nations, who may be ruled by the mysterious king of the north.. * there is no evil slave class.

I was told by my study conductors that there was a ....."...time to laugh and a time to cry..." so on and so forth. My daughter had been dead less than two years at the time and I was devastated. They also pointed out that my continuing to grieve for her showed a lack of faith in the resurrection promise.
Wow! I couldn't believe my ears. I asked them if they had ever lost a child and they said no, but we are ......."just reminding you ----- that your' daughter is now unaware of what is going on, she has paid the ultimate price for her imperfection. Therefore, you should be more optimistic about this situation and trust god more. If you don't then it could be that you lack faith in god and the guidance that is given to you through the society".
It was incredible to hear these nasty people give out such "timely advice" in such a cold and distant manner. At the time I was so vulnerable I chose to stay with the teachings and try to subsume my grief so as not to be overly adoring of my child. For.." There is sometimes a risk that we can show a form of worship in our displays of grief; a grief that Satan will use as a lever to stop you from learning about Jehovah's ways".
Yes! They were telling me that my grief, if sustained for too long, could provide Satan with the perfect weapon to stop my progress in the truth. I was told to ...more or less...".get over it as soon as possible and get out in the field work and meet others in the truth and all would be okay".
