  i posted this as a reply to another thread, but thought it deserved it's own thread to draw attention to this important moment in the day 2 testimony.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl4fobrocc8.

  I have zero sympathy for these elders.

  In fact the only thing I do feel is disgust. Disgust for their pathetic responses.

  They are not the victims here. They are willful accomplices to the obstruction of justice, they are a disgrace.

  So it's up to the individual to decide whether or not to report a crime like murder to the police, and the elders would not do so. But if that same person were to....oh I don't know let's just say....unrepentantly smokes cigarettes, they would get expelled from the congregation.

  Wow, that could only make sense dub world.

  (let me know if anyone thinks my assumptions are way out of line, or if i've forgotten anything).

  basic facts:.

  the australian royal commission has 1000+ documented cases of child abuse over 65 years.

  i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

  i thought this report was very well done.

  I'm hoping that as well. The callous attitude of JWs and their leaders towards ...well just about everything and everyone, needs to be exposed. I am soo glad I left!

  "Appearing like an effing hypocrite in front of your family"
  

  Don't worry the rest of the congregation will view it that way as well.

  2. scandals

  it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

  Could this news cause a new revolt of members taking the lead like that which happened after the 1975 fiasco?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  we know that after the 1975 fiasco there were some revolts and disappointments in the brotherhood, which finally caused the removal of raymond franz and overseers like james penton, and so on.

  so, may be these news could cause the revolt of some members in the leadership.

  any thoughts?

  AM3: " I've heard reports that the elders down under are revolting. Should we be concerned it's 75 allover again?"

  Lett: " No, don't worry bro. It's just the lying apostates again."

  2. beliefs

  i was born into this religion.

  i was a jw for well over 30 years.

  i did much research before i had internet, i compared bibles and prayed deeply to help me to know if this was the truth.

  I believe much of the unexplained "illness" in the borg is due to people on a subconscious level percieving something is terribly wrong with their religion while not being consciously aware of what it is. This causes all manner of symptoms, both physical and psychological to manifest which the person puts down to "the stress of living in Satan's system."

  As far as the whole is the GB evil or deluded question, who can know.

  This I do know, they know exactly what they are doing...and always have known.
