i was invited to a congregation in ontario, canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.
this talk replaced the two last parts of "living as a christian" section.
he started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us.
Thank you for your Information!
I've heard about this from several people. That there is a letter being read to all French Canadian congregations in response to the media coverage/ child abuse documentary.
Was this at a French Meeting? or English perhaps?
We need this letter. I am asking everyone to help.
If anyone has access to it, Please PM me or just email it me: wifibandit1 @ gmail

the only reason i ask is cause my brother got into a pickle.
he and a girl sexted she went to the elders and tried to tell on him, but she didn't know what was his congregation, and i dont think that they keep the publisher cards, but do they have his name in file and can just look him up and find his hall or do they need his congregation name in order to catch him?
he told me about this, ive told him to try this out, he wouldn't ..but now i'm curious, whether or not they have him and all his information.
He should be fine. If he used snapchat, she probably didn't screen shot.

No. They don't have every member in a central database, not even at the branch level.
This doesn't mean that he is in the clear. He will be found out by Elders asking around and deductive reasoning. They will narrow it down. What Language congregation? What Circuit? What Side of town? How did you meet? What does he look like? Do you have any SFW pic's? FB or Insta?
I hope nobody is underage :-/ There may be criminal charges. (even for selfies, it has happened)

for your information, i'm absolutely not in the virtual reality (vr) headset business, but take it from me, you should get one.
soon all the press will be using vr to tell stories, so get prepared for extraordinary experiences using your vr headset and your smart phone.
“virtual reality!
Simon, I have both a cardboard and a nicer version version of the same thing. (SxSW swag)
I've also tried a few of the top end "True" VR headsets. These don't have the same nausea issue from motion. Only nausea from the price!

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. We do not believe that children are adequately protected from the risk of sexual abuse for the following reasons:
The organisation relies on outdated policies and practices to respond to allegations of child sexual abuse. Also, those policies and practices are not subject to ongoing and continuous review. The policies and practices are, by and large, wholly inappropriate and unsuitable for application in cases of child sexual abuse. The organisation’s retention and continued application of policies such as the two-witness rule in cases of child sexual abuse shows a serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse.
The organisation’s internal disciplinary system for addressing complaints of child sexual abuse is not child or survivor focused in that it is presided over by males and offers a survivor little or no choice about how their complaint is addressed.
The sanctions available within the organisation’s internal disciplinary system are weak and leave perpetrators of child sexual abuse at large in the organisation and the community.
In deciding the sanctions to impose and/or precautions to take in relation to a known or suspected perpetrator, the organisation has inadequate regard to the risk that that perpetrator might reoffend. This demonstrates a serious lack of understanding of the nature and impact of child sexual abuse.
The organisation’s general practice of not reporting serious instances of child sexual abuse to police or authorities – in particular, where the complainant is a child – demonstrates a serious failure by the organisation to provide for the safety and protection of children in the organisation and in the community.
