i've been thinking this for a while.
even before the arc scandal.
it seems no matter what, the org.
If by "Jehovah" you mean the GB then yes the GB are doing whatever it takes to protect their asses.
If by "Jehovah" you mean some unidentified wealthy influential pedophile lover with connections in high places protecting the org then yes that's possible as well.
But, since "Jehovah" is just brandname for this cult then I don't really see how it has any power to protect.
Money on the hand, money protects and WT has plenty of it.
this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.
however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.
feel free to claim credit here.
I have a friend who is a counselor with years of experience who works in a dedicated sexual assault clinic. She was shocked when I told her that JW Elders have zero qualifications, zero secular training on child sexual abuse.
Many people (men and women) who were abused as children especially if the abuse was never dealt with properly and sensitively end up suicidal and in her clinic as adults. She has dealt with many JWs and she knows I used to be one so she will ask for my opinion at times to gain some more insight into her JW clients particular difficulties. I am only to happy to get her whatever info she needs.
The professionals left to deal with the mess JW elders leave behind are often working blind because JWs as a group are very secretive and protective of the group.

probably the biggest find since the higgs.. d4g.
That's exciting news. I remember the Bicep group's announcement back in 2014 turning out to be spacedust, it was disappointing for them.
since the watchtowers' lawyers have (a) failed to make any recommendations to the arc that would bring the watchtower up to date with "best practices and procedures" (b) have failed to submit a proposal for victim restitution (c) have failed to secure funding for a redress scheme and (d) have completely dismissed all the arcs' findings - what's the royal commission's next course of action?.
i see two possibilities:.
) negotiate a settlement with the watchtower.
the february broadcast has an item which in my view exploits a young very poorly girl.
it seems that the girl is quite a character and her faith seems to be strong.
she was baptised as a pre-pubescent innocent girl and is purported to be a regular pioneer at age 13. now read what her local paper says :-.
At least the Borg got their shameless infomercial in before she died.
God I hate this org.

i've seen this twice now within a month.
a car group hanging out at a gas station.
one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.
Gas pump witnessing- orange mocha frappuchino anyone?
wt claims their website is the 'most translated' and claims over 750 languages.
but in the drop down language menu there are only about 50. so where are the others?
dear brothers:.
we are pleased to inform you that a new series of short videos will be produced to emphasize the acceleration of the worldwide work of jehovah’s witnesses.

tonight my dl was posted by hand by my husband (a worldly guy).
i had the luxury of being at work distracted whilst he posted it.
i have been baptised for just over 2 years and studied since 2010. i couldn't take it anymore, not just the zealous dislike/disgust for 'people in the world' (this includes my husband and 99% of my family btw) but the obvious.... the investigations into child sexual abuse.
I agree with you about cutting all ties their ideologies are toxic, even in small doses.
Great decision, welcome to your sanity returning. It won't happen overnight but it will happen.
