  JW Podcast About The Shenanigans of the Borg in Australia

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so here's a link to the latest jw podcast.

  in it they talk about how the organization is structuring things in australia to get out of paying money to victims of abuse.

  the short version, as i remember it, is that they are making each congregation its own individual charity.

  They have borrowed from their own playbook. Instead of inter-branch indebtedness, it is Inter-Charity indebtedness! Akin to debt leveraging.

  Watchtower and Emoji's - your thoughts

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on the jw.org website, the watchtower is sending out a strong warning with regard to emoji's & flirting.. my personal view is that the org is now trying to micro-manage just about every aspect of people's lives!.

  https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/worksheets/friendly-or-flirtatious/.

  ps: 'quotes are from julia, ellen and tara.

  I LoL'd, but there may be a darker subtext.

  Anon says:

  I watched JW Survey's video about emoji's

  It was funny - he is a funny guy...but

  Cedars missed the boat on this one. He failed to see the significance of this new youth workbook and what is really going on with it. He closes the video with the remark that this workbook "really isn't a huge issue" and he is wrong.

  It is.
  

  Every example, where a voice is talking, the WT uses a girl speaking - the minor JW girls who are supposed to be downloading these worksheets are getting schooled in how to "set the example" for the entire youth audience. The behavior being "set straight" is the girls' behavior. None of the examples use a boy's voice.

  First, there is the "wise girl" - Julia - who tells girls the right way to behave.

  Second, there is Ellen - the "too young", but very attractive and older looking girl who should be careful to "not send the wrong message". Note that the worksheet doesn't say what to do if an older male reads her message wrong and it doesn't tell the boys that flirting with a "too young" but older looking girl is wrong

  Third, there is Carly. The JW girl who deals with co-worker influence. Probably a nonJW male who finds her attrative.

  And the last example is another girl - Tara - her issue is learning about "leading a boy on".

  And that is it. No directives that tell JW boys what to do. But lots of training as to how girls are responsible for what predators do to them.

  This is a victim instruction video - aimed at girls. Blaming them for male sexual behavior.

  It really isn't about emoji's at all - that is just the fluff used to coat the real message. It is aimed at kids - the WT wants them to know that if they are victimized, it is their fault. And more specifically - it is especially the girl's fault for "sending the wrong message".

  Several have mentioned that this "provision" cannot be limited to Wales. Surely there are other languages who will have "canned" Prerecorded Memorial and Special Talk 2017!

  Any one else have another language to add to the list?
