  "It is the victims right to approach authorities" The weak excuse used by the society

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  we have seen that the society falls back on the line "it is the victims right to approach the authorities" during all the abuse claims.. they use this excuse to try and defend the passive lack of action in failing to report suspected cases of abuse.. a comparison came to mind:.

  if we came across a person lying in the street who says they were hit by a car, would we say "it is your absolute right to call the paramedics and police"?.

  or would we take the initiative and call those authorities ourselves to help the person?.

  We all heard what the official line was during the JWbroadcast:

  "This is all apostate driven satanic lies"

  Australian Jehovah's Witnesses are ignorant of the Australian Royal Commission

  many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.

  sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.

  those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

  Hey stuckinarut2 I thought you had stopped going to the meetings. So how come the elders are still talking to you.

  Yup, don't go to meetings at all. But this was said by an elder to my father in law. He was told it as "a fact" that the ARC was full of praise for how the society acted.

  Blatant lies being spread in ignorance by elders....

  Despite our personal thoughts about the society, this kind of action is deplorable and wrong.

  All groups have the right to worship free of harassment.

  It is a sad time in that part of the world where such heavy handed approaches are being used.

  If God directs you, then why does God have bad days where he makes mistakes?

  Because either God gets things wrong, or you don't speak for God...

  When 2 JWs have the same call...

  2. friends

  as i was driving past a certain gas station today, i recalled that the family who own it are called on by a friend of mine, and in a territory where it's hard to find interest.

  it reminded me of an incident months back when this friend, brother d, discovered that another friend, brother b, was calling on that family too.

  hey, gotta make your time.. those two went at it.

  Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk

  several months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.

  they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.

  this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".
