HappyOtB: I would never have thought it of him. He was a down to earth bloke who worked hard and was well liked....
I guess it goes to show - we never really 'know' anybody.
You are exactly right - we do not know what a person is really like until we meet them behind closed doors. And sometimes not even then.
Sometimes the people who present themselves as the nicest are actually the most evil.

i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.
im not talking about silly little quibbles here and there.. is jehovah real?
the the bible is word?
Yes, lots of churches have missions. Nothing new.
In fact, the newcomers on the block are the JWs. It kills me when JWs come out with "we are the only ones who preach!!!!"
Mission work had been going on for centuries before the Johnny Come Lately JWs showed up on the scene.

formerbrother: Please tell me another Church who is involved in this global preaching work?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
i've been thinking this for a while.
even before the arc scandal.
it seems no matter what, the org.
finkelstein: For decades this organization has been doing this very thing and even pointed its finger at the Catholics for doing so.
They still are. Note fisherman's last post.
Rather than address a defect in the JW's, he conveniently gave a link to the Catholic Church's issues.
"See? Look at them!"

You are using deflection, fisherguy.
Address the way that JWs (and you) regard child abuse a "sin" instead of a crime. That is what my post was about.

I hope you get a chance to read my posts, if you have the time.I kind of like them. You see I'm a JW...
Ah...it must be cold where you are.
Be sure you enter your hours, dear.

Yeah, I laugh every time another article comes out about a JW being a pedophile and the 'official' response is always the same lying rhetoric. It reminds me of asking a kid if they ate the last piece of cake and they say "no" when they have chocolate icing all over their face.JWGoneBad:
A church spokesman said: “Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse and view it as both a despicable crime and a sin. “Anyone who commits the sin of child abuse faces expulsion from the congregation and any suggestion that Jehovah’s Witnesses cover up child abuse is false.”

fisherman: ...the problem with them was not the parishioners confessing sins but church minsters doing the crimes. With the JW it is about reporting sinners to the police.
And therein lies the fundamental problem.
When you speak of the Catholic priests you call them "ministers doing the crime".
Yet, when you speak of JWs, all of a sudden those "crimes" become "sins".
Here, let's fix that for you:
"With the JW it is about reporting criminals to the police."
