i have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.
i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.
how do people like barbara anderson or jwsurvey or jwfacts come up with this number?
Why do you want to know? Why are you so concerned about the borg's legal matters? Why do you never ask a question about doctrine?
Do you think the sites mentioned are being deliberately misleading or lying?
Are you doing market research for the borg?
Are you a mole?
on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.
two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.
the two carts were a number of feet away.
Their "volunteer" work is helping to maintain the org's charity status that's all it's achieving, it's certainly not helping anyone but WT.
on http://avoidjw.org/2017-regional-convention/ you can find the talk outlines of the regional convention this year.. i looked into the final talks each day and found these releases to be announced:.
on saturday:.
new magazine-size book entitled "lessons you can learn from the bible".
Remember the Wife of Lot alternative title and more interesting story : Pass The Salt - The story of how the Lot's Wife Table Salt Company began. Written by Founder Abe Lot and brought to you by the Water Tower Tyre and Tractor Society.
Spoiler alert for actual video Jehovah the God of love and justice gets real pissed and kills Lot's wife in one of his famous hissy fits.
short info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.
festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.
all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..
I can see them putting in a half-hearted attempt at security causing some to think the end is even nigher.
Eh what's that I hear is that the sound of the ark door creaking shut I better run back now - lol.
so i've been a lurked on this site for about 15 years, thank goodness for dial up internet.... anyway my fade has been working off and on for that long but my whole family is still in including my kid.
at this point i have started dating a worldly person.
he is wiling to put onthe facade of being a witness so i don't have to lose my family.
BOEs don't just hand over publisher record cards because a family even a "higher up" family wants to see them. Other than telling your family the truth and to mind their own business it's time to cut the umbilical chord.
you could fertilize your garden with this shite.... https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/respond-to-accusations/.
They don't answer because they probly know about a thing called the "Streisand effect."

Security at conventions - lol. IOW WT petty tyrannists searching bags for apostate literature while ignoring suspicious packages.
Hopefully conventions become so stressful people will stop going.

1.the organization itself denies access to reality and substitutes its own version, interpretations, and meanings.
a.only watchtower approved publications are allowed.
This is precisely what makes cults so psychologically damaging.
i think the disfellowshipping abandonement arrangement in human relationships also to be a heavy contributor to this malady:.

borderline personality disorder (bpd), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder, is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by unstable relationships with other people, unstable sense of self, and unstable emotions.
Whether you came into the cult with a pre-existing personality disorder or you inherited a predisposition from your parents and WT indoctrination provided the perfect storm to create one being brought up JW is not healthy for any mind.
