why won't watchtower tell abusers "i'm going to tell on you!
" and follow through with the proper authorities?
So.....
Child tells parent. Parent tells elders. Elders interegate child. Elders do nothing.
Or
Adult survivor tells elders. Elders interrogate adult survivor. Elders advise adult survivor to get over it. Elders do nothing.
But look we have an article protecting children.
sorry if this has been discussed before.... for a few days now, this question has been going through my mind.
what was the date the governing body took the sole role of the faithful and discreet slave and how close was it to the end of the mayan calendar in december of 2012?
i looked it up on jwfactes.com and sure enough, checkout the date on this article:.
Ok, so don't answer my reasonable question.
hi all, what do you think about the experience on page 4 of 2016.2 awake?.
maria, who is one of jehovah’s witnesses, was publicly insulted by a prejudiced woman, who caused quite a commotion.
but instead of retaliating, maria calmly continued on her way.
This "experience" is code. What they really mean is - when confronted by "angry people" while engaging in the public ministry (ie cart work )- keep your cool and don't say anthing. If you keep your mouth shut you could receive a blessing from Jehovah.
it embarrassed me.
when i was young my folks made me wear one and i opened it up and took the paper out making it look like it fell out.
after my folks ask what happen i said i dont know.
there are seven men who proclaim to be the faithful and discreet slave.
but, are they?
Pff, faithful slave my ass. They're delusional fools, drunk with power and control.
The real slaves are those they rule over.
I forget who said it (Orwell?) " To enslave people is easy, all you have to do is get them to love their enslavement"
that 's the general gist of the quote and it applies well to JWs.

Hi greybeard. Let's just say for arguments sake they did indeed choose that year to reveal that new light, what is the significance do you think?
Just wondering why that date with all it's end of time implications would matter to them, is all.
out at the mall with mrs. otwo, she sees a shirt on the rack that was marked down from $25 to just $4.
she holds it up and says, "should i buy this as a workout shirt?".
i tell her "no, because as soon as you figure out what it means, you won't wear it anymore.
there are some good minds on this forum.
how much will it cost, in your estimation, to build warwick?
this is a damn serious question.
you must know by now that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce and that 607 was initially picked by ct russell by using his "pyramid scheme" measurements.
there is no hiding these facts yet you continue to preach this nonsense.
Why preach lies you know are lies? It's called being a Jdub.
Going in service but not preaching the lies is like smoking pot and saying " I don't inhale."
i did not want to potentially hijack the thread in this post: .
galling meeting today!
truly nauseating!.
The whole atmosphere of the cong is "arbitrary and capricious."
Who get's df or just a slap on the wrist. Who they string out for reinstatement and who they let back in quickly.
There was a MS in my hall who was having an extramarital affair and got busted he was df and after 6months reinstated and everyone in the hall went crowding around to give him a hug yet this young girl who faded away and started living with a guy they hounded her until they finally dfed her in absentia. When she made an effort to be reinstated they made her wait a couple of years and everyone treated her like trash even when she eventually got reinstated.
It's not just disciplinary matters either. Who gets appointed via the fast track and who they hold back.
Half the time there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to many of their decisions. And has little to do with "repentance" or "heart condition" or "obedience to those taking the lead" or any such thing.
And that folks is how the GB like it - keep the sheeple confused not knowing which way is up.
