Good. I'm glad this is getting attention. It'll help these imperfect men come to realize that it's imperative for them to turn all accusations to the local legal authorities.
One of those mistakes that they need to finally correct. The Catholic church had their moment with this, now the JWs and other closed-up orgs must face the same music.

the congregation i attend had it's watchtower study on thursday night because of l.d.c work this week-end, and another congregation i have some not very spiritual friends in had their watchtower study on wednesday.
from what i have delicately prised out of people, the congregations loved the watchtower study this week, saying it was so encouraging and all the usual stuff, with no-one seeming to realise the g.b.
said they're not inspired, so the spirit int he past has moved them to teach wrong things, and all the other ideas excellently summed up on reddit.. today's watchtower will wash over the heads of most j.w's like it never even happened, the all remaining as loyal as ever, and it makes me so, so sad..
Correctly! One clear effect of deep indoctrination.
Having stated that, any logical/intelligent person clearly understands that other organizations are bound to make mistakes, always, as they're all under the control of most imperfect humans.
This is why many have jumped shipped because of this Org's imperfections. Well... surprise! Same mistakes in any other org of any kind as long being led by other imperfect people.
So, accentuate, concentrate, enjoy the good, the positive. Or... join any other org and be prepared for when these and many other mistakes hit you in the face again.

next weeks watchtower.
'who is leading god's people today' is quite incredible.
i am so looking forward to blondie's comments on this one.
We need a token Hispanic, an Asian, a Hindu, and an Arab of some sort.😜

so lloyd evans aka cedars says on his facebook page when he attended a reveal jw child abuse event.. .
interesting stuff but no details!.
I would love to see that! Class action!
And if what happened in Australia happens here, it'll be massive. The coverup is horrendous here in the States.

pinoy jehovah’s witnesses in russia face deportation.
philippine daily inquirer / 05:40 am february 24, 2017. baguio city—jehovah’s witnesses (jw) in the philippines have asked the department of foreign affairs (dfa) to intercede on behalf of filipinos who face arrest or deportation in russia for belonging to their faith.. the watchtower bible and tract society of the philippines, the legal and corporate arm of jw, made the appeal when it met dfa officials this week on behalf of more than 8,000 filipino jehovah’s witnesses in russia.. read more: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/152841/pinoy-jehovahs-witnesses-russia-face-deportation#ixzz4f8s5kznb .
there are 8000 filipino jehovah's witnesses in russia?
I venture a guess that anyone, Russian or not, will skip out of Russia as soon as possible. This suffering persecution is plain nuts! ☹️

how many in your age group are still jehovahs witnesses?
from where we are at, there aren't many left.
each year it gets smaller and smaller haha .
The Spanish JW community here in FL is more about the community than it is about the religion. We're a tight knit bunch, always together celebrating something, but I see that overall they are sending their young to college, allowing them to participate in extra curricular activities, even supporting a group to go to their high school senior prom.
I could palpate in the Spanish congs people are really tired of waiting and finally doing their own thing and living their lives.
So happy to see the young taking charge of their lives!

i am sure you have stories as well of elders being a hard ass on many, yet turning a blind eye to the 'sins' of their own family or close connections.
cheers everyone!

I know of two separate stories of elders taking part in JCs while committing adultery themselves for yeeeeeears, one of them with a step-niece (step-child of his older brother). Sick!
Self-named God's Org is no better than any other unscrupulous man-made religion.😕

we're currently watching leah remini's series about scientology and the main thing she seems to focus on is the shunning policies of the scientology organization which let's face it are very similar to jw procedure.. i was wondering with all that's in the media recently about bullying could a petition be put together to get the goverment to consider making religiously mandated shunning illegal?
has such a thing been tried before?.
https://petition.parliament.uk/help says the following - .
Shunning is not a JW monopoly. So, this is a severe time wasting endeavor.

Different people help, but his demeanor and attitude towards her is awful. I told hubby that I would file a complaint of elderly abuse with the State if something is not done soon to get him to either hire help for her or put it in a home where she would get the 24-7 care she so desperately needs.

There is one elder who neglects his sick bed-ridden wife horribly. The other elders and several other cong members know it, and yet nobody will move a finger to remove and privately admonish him.
The saddest situation I have seen.
