1. three jw ladies, standing on the avenue along the beach here in sunny, warm fortaleza, ceará (brazil)2. two jw guys sitting on a bench doing the same as the ladies in pic 13. let's see how productive they are being doing this urgent, life-saving work.
According to the society, this is a life-saving work. They have often used the illustration of saving people from a burning building.
This form of witnessing with the carts is more like standing outside that building that is on fire and holding up a small bit of paper that says "danger"....
Urgency? Think not....
despite my often smart-ass exterior, i really don't have any desire to see the r&f dubs suffering.
i really do worry about the mental and emotional turmoil that they will experience, if and when the wtbts is truly exposed as a scam.
i know it seems unlikely to happen, but you never know..... anyway, the wt for the week was cringe-worthy to say the least.
it's great that the following is officially mentioned in the royal commission's report:.
when asked if the governing body members saw themselves as ‘jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth’, mr geoffrey jackson answered that it ‘would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using’.
mr jackson’s response seems to be inconsistent with the documentary evidence before the royal commission, which shows that jehovah’s witnesses believe that the governing body is the ‘channel’ by which jehovah’s ‘will’ is communicated to them..
Absolutely priceless !
The smugness of the brothers has been clearly shown up by those in the legal field
10 response of the jehovah’s witness organisation to the sexual abuse of children.
having regard to the various matters we have discussed in this report, we have reached a number of general conclusions on the jehovah’s witness organisation’s response to the sexual abuse of children.
we do not consider the jehovah’s witness organisation to be an organisation which responds adequately to child sexual abuse.
So for an organisation that is supposedly being directed by the Almighty, he must've been asleep while these things were happening
there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..
Well the God of the Bible had no problem with mass genocide of women children and babies!
He also has no problem with incest. His " faithful man " lot had no problem with incest and we are told to imitate ones like Lot.
So, if that is "Jehovah", and we are supposedly created in his image, then why do we find such things repulsive??

And when will the society learn that they could earn so much public goodwill by simply saying " we made some serious mistakes. We did not conduct ourselves properly."
Of course we all know, that will never happen. They will never admit to being wrong like this

Bring on the sanctions and penalties !
Oh and then watch how the society spins that around and claims "persecution"
warning - long post ahead!
monday, november 28.
what we will notice is that there are three scriptural answers to this question.
It simply means "you will only marry a witness of equal social standing and spiritual standing to yourself."
i'm at my quasi-thanksgiving dinner with relatives.
i hear a haunting sound from another room.
"is that a children's song?
Yes all of these presentations that have been made over the last 4 to 5 years are doing an amazing job at highlighting the ridiculousness of the society!
I simply wonder what the so called intellectual ones who are still in the organisation honestly think about these things ? I mean seriously in their quiet moments alone do they not look at these things and think "what the hell is this embarrassing stuff??"
australian child abuse royal commission rejects dr monica applewhite's evidence and testimony.. [quote] dr applewhite acknowledged that her report did not identify the basis on which she had formed her opinions.657 she accepted that her report failed to identify the ‘current standards’ of other religious organisations658 or which ‘religious organisations’ she referred to in writing her report.659 dr applewhite told the royal commission that her understanding of material provided to parents and families about sexual development in children by other faith-based organisations was ‘anecdotal’.660.
dr applewhite accepted that it would be difficult for the royal commission to accept the opinions expressed in paragraphs 36, 45, and 46 of her report because her report did not identify the basis on which those opinions were formed.661.
we do not consider that dr applewhite’s report and the opinions expressed therein assist the royal commission in its inquiry for the following reasons:.
For anyone who may not have watched her time before the royal commission, I strongly suggest watching the video footage. (It can be likely be found on YouTube.)
Her presentation and delivery, as well as poor answers to the questions was simply appalling.
It was an embarrassment of monumental proportions for both her and the society!
