Child sex abuse cases mentioned at weekly meeting?

2. child-abuse
okay, tonight someone told me that one of the elders actually addressed the child sex abuse cases at the weeknight meeting this past week.

she said the speaker said that accusations are being made against the truth but that they should stand firm in the truth and that they are going to continue fighting these allegations and that all should stand firm for jehovah or some similar comments.... did anyone else hear this from the stage?.

that book is just as insane as the others...and focuses on building why 1914 is the year, while glossing over the failed prophesies.

yet, my husband thinks it answers many of the questions i had.

She is Going to Talk to the Elders About My Questions...What Should I Expect?

2. beliefs
so one of my in-laws, a born in dub, started asking me questions about the issues i am having with the religion.

so i told her, rather carefully, how i discovered all the child pedophile cases, went over some of the case details, explained it is occurring all over the world, so isn't just some random misunderstanding, but is widespread hiding of child sex u all abuse.

she was horrified.

International Convention...Same Message, Same Emotional Manipulation
by HeyThere in
1. watchtower
2. bible
well, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!

then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .

and of course the end is "so close!
