Sign JW Data Protection Form Or Else!

by AverageJoe1 in

in spain (and the rest of europe), the "improved" data protection laws come into force on 25th may 2018. this is a good thing and sadly america is still lagging behind; not surprising with their current president!.

watchtower legal department are hot on the case and have instructed elders to hand out the new "release" forms out to all the publishers in their groups, whilst making it clear to them that they won't have any privileges if they refuse to do so!.

note these points in the instructions:.

if the Organization does actual roll out a global publisher database,

Was there not info a few months back indicating that New York was instituting a unique membership number for each publisher?

July 2018 WT points

by The Fall Guy in

page 16, par.

18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?

if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

PAGE 25 – An illustration showing a floozie wearing an immodest dress at the KH. Probably an Elder's wife!

Not an elder's wife.

She has it all in immodest dress - hem above the knee, slit, plunging neckline, and no sleeves.

He has side-shaved hair, square tie, no jacket, sleeves rolled up, and pants too tight.

A ToMo special.

Jehovah's Witnesses child sexual abuse cover up gets broadcast across Canadian television.

by Finkelstein in

well the shit has finally hit the fan here in chanda for the jws.. an hour long investigative journalist program called w5 went deep into the jws's pedophilia cover up problems that have been on going for decades within the jws religion.. .

i think its good thing for the public to realize how religions can and will coverup egregious acts which are serious crimes in most countries just to up hold a clean wholesome image around their organizations.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1zlhbk6ihm.

A question, I have relatives in Canada who I hope will at least know of this, how popular is this channel, I have no idea about Canadian tv

They usually have over 1,000,000 viewers.

Based on the quantity watching their trailer, it should be at least that high.

Significantly, Canadian politicians react to articles on this program.

From reddit

They posted a 12-minute of the W5 team on FB.

More than 54,000 views in less than 24 hours.

The episode should have a decent sized audience.

Anyway, I believe that “marking” and disfellowshipping are to be treated the same. 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 says: “But if anyone is not obedient to our word through this letter, keep this one marked, stop associating with him, that he may become ashamed. 15 And yet do not be considering him as an enemy, but continue admonishing him as a brother”. The Greek word which the NWT translates “stop associating with” in 2 Thessalonians 3:14 is the same word used in 1 Corinthians 5:11 for “quit mixing in company with”. Both texts in the Greek language are speaking of someone who is unruly or immoral. Also, notice that 2 Thessalonians 3:15 tells us to, “not be considering him as an enemy, but continue admonishing him as a brother.” A question I have asked many JW’s over the years is, how can we admonish one as a brother if we cut him off as the organization says we should?
