  smiddy3 I don't think so. Justice Robert Jackson is a home grown hero for this town. There is a building called Robert H. Jackson Center in his honor. They have all kinds of events there every year. I think because it has been 75 years since the Supreme court ruled on the right not to salute the flag and Justice Jackson case a deciding vote on this case this event came about. But to have a wt. lawyer and the 2 women who were part of it as children here for this event, to me and I don't know if this true smells of a proporganda event for the borg. There are 4 congregations in this town plus many others that are a short drive to Jamestown. My question is should I just sit on my thumbs while this event takes place or have a organised protest outside the building? I feel this event will be pack with jw's so what an be done?

  On Oct. 15 Jamestown NY will be having what I call a pretty large 3 day event on Jehovah Witnesses Canaries in the coal mine of human rights:Seventy five years after West Virginia vs. Barnett. This was the Supreme court case on the pledge of the allegiance which the wt. won. It will be taking place at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown. Justice Jackson was homegrown in this town. If that was not big enough Philip Brumley who is general counsel for the wt. will be giving a lecture during this event followed by a round table conversation with Marie Barnett Snodgrass and Louise Blanton about their experience during the 1930's and 1940's. Finally there will be a 15 min. Play called "The faithful do not yield".

  The center holds about 300 people. I can see every jw in this area will be there. To me it seems to be a big propaganda fest for the borg. After all why would a lawyer for the borg and the two women who were pawns in this case be here for this event? All I can say is how do we get the word out on this cult and the sex abuse cases taking place. I feel I can't do this alone. So I am asking for help or ideas on what to do. Thank you for your help.

  Will Jehovah’s Witness be discouraged from watching any tv at all soon?

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know it sounds kinda stupid and dramatic, but lately there’s been a lot of suggestive content about not watching tv.

  the broadcast was telling people that watching tv snares you into getting an attachment to characters, (the one where the crazy sister prayed for a tv character).

  and today this watchtower telling people that the only news that should be watching, or even interested in watching is the broadcast or on jw.org news room.

  According to my youngest son who is in his mid-30's told me tv is not watch very much by young ones. It all about their i-phones. TV was the big deal for baby boomers this generations is all about i-phones. The wt. has no control over that no atter how hard they try. Still Totally ADD

  Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018

  by Jules Saturn in

  2. beliefs

  it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.

  for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.

  very interesting times!

  All I know is I spent half my life at book studies studying this crap of the king of the North and the king of the South. We are special because we have knowledge no one else has. Let's all take a deep breath and then say to ourselves "It's a Cult!" Still Totally ADD

  What changes would stabilize JW membership?

  by StarryNight9 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen many topics about how things are changing or might be changing in jw doctrine/culture.

  some have extrapolated how those changes would result in declining jw membership.

  i'm curious to know what changes others think would stabilize those numbers.

  Wt. needs to sell everything off pay retribution to all abuse victims then what ever is left give it evenly to the rest of the followers and say they were wrong. Sorry. Do this on a public forum for everyone to see. But then there will still be those who will follow them. Still Totally ADD

  can i ask your views on taking children out on the ministry?

  .

  do you have any experiences you can share of things you as a child/your children/grandchildren have witnessed on the ministry that they shouldn't have?.

  I consider it child abuse now. It puts children in horrible danger. When I was six years old I was made to work whole streets by myself. I was verbally abused by householders and had dogs order to attack me. I know it is diffrent now but a child is still subject to abuse. Still Totally ADD

  Just to let everyone know Jamestown ny has just open up the national comedy center. It is a state of the art museum with holograph acts of past and present comedians. It's something else for this town and two blocks over you can go to the Lucy museum. This was the town she was born in. Just thought you all would like to know. Still Totally ADD

  What are they trying to hide

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ok. we are all aware of the scandal around the non reporting of child abuse cases to the authorities by the elders and how it was part of watchtower policy.. this has probably been discussed before, which i apologize for now if it has.. the obvious view that most of us make as to why the gb are so reluctant to comply with the authorities by revealing their database around child abuse allegations, is that the leadership at watchtower hq likely were trying to safeguard the reputation of the organisation.. however, (just a theory) are they hiding something more sinister which could in effect devastate the organisation ie could it be they are hiding some things within the gb itself, whether it be some individuals within the gb of the past or even present who might have had some serious allegations made against them which the authorities are never going to know about?

  i mean why the hell are they going to such lengths to hide everything???.

  any thoughts?

  Smiddy3 that statement made by Pat leads me to believe it is true. Most of what was said happen to me also when being bully into keeping quiet. It seems killing the victim is a ploy sexual abusers use on small children not all but many. What a eye opener. Still Totally ADD

  yesterday i parked at a rest stop for a bit and there were 2 ladys at a cart.

  the cart sign was hand painted.

  that was odd to me.

  Just watch 2 men standing at a cart for 3 hours straight. One looked like he was around 60 and the other in his 20's. Not one person talked to them. What a waste of time. Still Totally ADD
