You are NOT alone !

this post is mainly for our new forum visitors and members.

perhaps even those who are just lurking or visiting here but have not yet signed up.

maybe you are in the initial stages of researching and finding out the earthshattering and life changing information about the religion that you once held dear and called “the truth”.. it can be a very stressful period of time as you realise that your whole foundation has changed and that the people in your life that you call friends or family may not take kindly to the things you have discovered.

Bumped for any new forum members!

May 2019 child abuse WT

by neat blue dog in

the new study edition watchtower is up, and most of it is devoted to child abuse damage control.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-may-2019/.

It should be simple.

If they knew of a suspected MURDERER, they would report it straight to the police - right?

But if they know of a suspected CHILD ABUSE case, they conduct their own internal investigations before deciding what to do??

WTF??

It is GB arrogance and conceit - they are putting their own policies ahead of respecting the laws of the country, and the safety and well being of a victim!

They have arrogantly defied the Aust Royal Commission findings and recommendations, and appear to make a distinction between "crimes" and "child abuse"

Please share your observations here too...

Hungry?? Don’t worry- I’ll feed you soon....

by stuckinarut2 in

how often have we heard jws (and christians in general) speak about how “god will step in soon and fix earths woes”.

a thought came to mind that i would love to calmly say to the person that says we should “wait on god”.

if your child looks up at you with big eyes, and a pained look on his face and says “daddy, i’m so hungry.

stuckinarut2

It was brilliantly pointed out to me that "God's own word the bible" can be used here:

Proverbs 3: 27-28

"Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it, If it is within your power to help. Do not say to your neighbor 'Go away; come back later and I will give it' "

Thanks @wake me!

yeah, it just struck me that “God” is the ultimate negligent parent when it comes to helping his children SOON.

The Young & not so young taking drugs @ Music Festivals in OZ.

by smiddy3 in

music festivals are supposed to be entertaining events for young and old alike ,so why is it that so many youths and one`s in their twenty`s & thirty`s are being treated for drug overdoses at these venues ?.

their is so much information about the dangers of using drugs at these events or anywhere else ,why do they do it ?.

they put their own life at risk and traumatize those that try to treat them ?.

stuckinarut2

So I love going to live music- even festivals.

Sadly people will always take pills-so the idea has been floated here in Australia to have pill testing facilities with trained specialists who can let the kids know if the drug is safe. This would be without any fear of prosecution.

The idea of taking pills there has never appealed to me, but for those who do want a trip, at least this testing initiative would keep them safe.

If your child looks up at you with big eyes, and a pained look on his face and says “daddy, I’m so hungry. May I have something to eat please?” And your reply is “yes - soon”.

Your little boy then asks “when daddy- I’m starving”

Then you dont feed him for 4 days ; and yet reason- “that was soon- it was sooner than next year- what’s his problem?”

What sort of parent would we be?

So God says “Soon” and yet never says “when”

The King of the North has now entered into the 'land of decoration' (the Spiritual Estate of Jehovah's People) - Annual Meeting

by Listener in

the final part of the october, 2018 annual meeting has now been released of jw org tv.the following includes a transcript of mark sanderson's speech for those that don't want to listen to the broadcast.. we have long held that the land of decoration is the "spiritual estate of jehovah's people"... now brothers what can we say about all these events that have taken place (referring to recent events in russia) in such a short period of time?

well, truly, if you're a student of the history of god's organization, you can say these events are unprecedented in our history.

we've never seen a country or a territory with 175,000 witnesses of jehovah go under ban.

stuckinarut2

I agree with Jidders:

I always thought that BABYLON the GREAT was supposed to be destroyed FIRST, and THEN Jehovah's people would be targeted??

So it seems that they are now changing the order of things around?
