How is Joe Publisher reacting to all the TV coverage on the abuse cases?
by 4thgen inplease pardon if this a repeated topic.
i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.
she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.

It hasn't been highlighted in my region at all (Asia). Not even the slightest bit of media coverage. What a shame!!! -

I'm the one who needs to "come to his senses" ?????
by Phizzy ini was in conversation a few weeks back with a jw i have known for at least four decades.
most of it was catching up on family stuff, he has loads of kids, some have married and produced sprogs since i left.
all news to me.. i demolished a couple of his fatuous arguments, and then he decided to scuttle away, throwing this over his shoulder as he went :.

Were you able to bring up the issue of child abuse? If you did, what did he have to say about it? -

It's obvious that Tony is highly conceited & egoistic from the comment that he made. What kind of person would say such a thing???
Anyway, one thing is for sure - Tony makes Jehovah look bad!!!

Will the Watchtower Corporation ever get mastery over Satan's worldly Internet?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwith satan's media and satan's internet the odds seem to be in his favor,while jehovah's earthly organization with all these multi-million dollar lawsuits waiting to be settled in or out of court it.. it seems that satan's multi-organization can claim the high moral ground while jehovah's earthly organization is left holding the bag full(in the thousands 23,000?
) of anonymous child molesters just waiting for another victim and more lawsuits in the making.
looks like a victory for satan demoting jehovah's organization to the shit can file of ancient history.. for a hundred years it looked like jehovah's organization was going to keep going strong then jehovah caused so many wrong dates for when the end of the world was coming and now with the invention of the internet where these big problems with jehovah can be aired in public seems to cast a spell of doom over jehovah causing him to hate to see tight pants on men and women and child like wizard toys and deaf people mastering the art of baiting ..

Well, Jehovah brought this on himself. After all, the victims were told to "leave it in Jehovah's hands", and he did NOTHING to help! -

JW.Org masturbation video - a sign language translators thoughts
by Esse quam videri inthe watchtower 'masturbation' video has caused quit a fuss and imo rightly so.
let me relate an experience that took place almost 40 years ago, in the 1970's.. i was translating for several families who attended our hall from outside the territory.
the reason they came to our congregation is that i was the only one in the area willing to exert myself to learn the american sign language.

In the first instance, some livestock died but not all, as indicated in verse 10 where the remaining beasts were plagued with festering boils -

by James Jack inat our assembly in alabama, no one got baptized, even though we added 3 congregations to our side in the circuit.

I'm a father first!
by FatherFirst inhi guys, this is my first post; i thought i should introduce myself.
i was raised and spent most of my life a jw before i was disassociated, because i refused to stop seeing a non witness girl.
i must say their decision to cut me off from my family and friends although initially traumatic ended up being the biggest blessing in disguise of my life.

CO kept mispronouncing "debt"
by Red Piller inso, this happened a while ago - but i never posted on it.
during a co visit, he gave a talk relating to jesus ransom (i think) and the "debt" that was owed by sin, etc.... he kept saying "debt" and he kept pronouncing the "b".
so it sounded like "deb-t".

There were a few giggles in the audience, but most didn't even seem to notice! And the study conductor didn't even bother to correct him... -

Happens all the time! During a recent WT study I attended, the magazine reader kept mispronouncing "heirs" as "hairs"!!! Unbelievable!!!
