Lawyer from Canada Bethel turns whistleblower

by krismalone in

lawyer from canada watchtower branch reveals how the watchtower protects pedophiles.

he had the courage to speak up against the evil policies that protect pedophiles.

this video needs to go viral.

The CBC's Fifth Estate is a very respectable and credible television production.

The elder/lawyer would have been checked out for validity before being included in the broadcast. As far as his anonymity goes, isn't that to be expected and isn't it also to be respected rather than rejected? Not everyone is in a position that allows them the privilege of having an identity.

Protecting the identity of whistle blowers is a fairly standard practice. And more common than not when a television expose is done on sensitive material concerning a large corporation and/or religion.

Do you believe in god?

waton: OC, it is time for you to go to bed, in your time zone, and hoprfully, that is not going to add to the overpopulation problem of the planet.

In my time zone, it is time to wake up.

I must not have learned enough from "the rich people" because I have given birth to two children. There were times that it was difficult to feed them - I was the one that went hungry so maybe that was my lesson from the "rich people"

Does God like rich people better?

venus: An African poor child does not reveal anything about God; but it does reveal the thoughtless behavior of the parents who bring them into birth when they themselves do not have anything even to eat. It only reveals that they have not learned from some of the rich people...

I have tried to come up with something in reply, but I am afraid that I typed and deleted several comments before I decided that none of them were adequate.

Your thoughtlessness has rendered me speechless

Everything considered, blood is the easy choice for a doctor, no-blood management is harder and more work. Doctors also look at what is more profitable.

Everything considered, blood is the most effective and best choice for a doctor (and for the patient). No blood management is less effective and does not work as fast or as well as blood does.

venus: The fact that God is not doing anything to remove suffering is not a problem for me to disbelieve in Him because we all know humans are capable of removing suffering, but they are not inclined to do (they are even inclined to increase the suffering)

You can't have it both ways, venus. You had made this statement:

Similarly, God has put in an invisible mechanism whereby every one receives what he deserves or takes birth where he deserves to be in

which claims that every one deserves their place of birth yet then you try to shift the blame of suffering that arises from that place of birth onto the shoulders of other human beings, not God.

Which is it?

God's "invisible mechanism" that knows who is deserving or not in order to place their birth in a position of privilege or a position of starvation? Or is it a way to test us lowly undeserving/deserving humans? Are the poor ones put on earth as a test for the rich ones? Are they God's measuring stick? Is that their function?

venus: Cofty,
You have no enthusiasm because of your atheistic disposition which is understandable.

venus: I have no problem in believing in a God who is responsible for the fine-tuning of earth so that various forms of life can enjoy their lives here.

Self-elevating and pompous

venus: In effect, you are asking "is law of cause and consequence working according to conditional love or unconditional love?

Don't be obtuse. And don't misdirect.

You know exactly what I am asking and my question is far simpler than that.

You are/were speaking about "God" and using your experience of parenthood as an analogy to understand your concept of what/who "god" is. And now you have changed up your language and pulled the discussion into the "law of cause and consequence".

Stay on track. Keep it simple. Don't be obtuse and misdirect.

So. No. In effect, I am not asking you that. I am asking you exactly what I had said - within your concept of love (not law of consequences...blah, blah, blah....), does it include a concept of unconditional love?

It is a simple yes or no answer.

Experience shows it's just blind--you can bring it to your benefit if you want or to your harm if you want--it is you who decide it.

Bullshit.

See above photo of child

That is what you say is "god's invisible mechanism" doled out according to who "deserves" it

venus: As a parent when you make sure your children get inheritance according to each one deserves, there is a communication in that act. Similarly, God has put in an invisible mechanism whereby every one receives what he deserves or takes birth where he deserves to be in. It takes more than ordinary seeing to see this.

Venus, is your view of "love" one of conditions?

Are you aware that there are parents in this world who do NOT give inheritance according to "what they deserve" because the parents simply see ALL their children as deserving of loving kindness?

Do you have a concept of unconditional love?

Similarly, God has put in an invisible mechanism whereby every one receives what he deserves or takes birth where he deserves to be in.

Oh. So, is it God's "invisible mechanism" that has determined that each and every human being on this planet is "getting what they deserve"? Is it God's Invisible mechanism that is responsible for this?

by pale.emperor in

https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201709_12_video.

a few things about this video:.

it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

OrphanCrow

Oh. Duh.

The first photo of the Brotherhood of Suits has "21" brothers. The Airport Brotherhood has 18 brothers.

3 were left behind - the Russian Brothers didn't take the Last Flight Out of Moscow.

Okay. I was bored. I broke down and watched Mark's broadcast.

A couple things.

Brothers. Brothers, Brothers, Brothers and Brothers. BROTHERS.

And sisters.

In the first image of all those "brothers" (1:27), stop the video and play a game. I call it "spot the brothers". I found "4" definitive brothers and a couple of maybe boys from tiny wee heads that might be men. And I counted at least 21 women in the frame.

Brothers.

And speaking of brothers - the Brotherhood of 18. The ones pictured in suits at the Supreme Court who apparently got "The Last Flight Out of Moscow" (!!!! - that could be a song title or maybe a movie....). That Brotherhood - the Blessed Ones.

Well...please correct me if I am wrong, please do, but...two of the Russian brothers who are pictured in the first Brotherhood of 18 ( the Suit Brotherhood) are not in the Brotherhood of 18 Who Escaped Russia AKA the Airport Brotherhood of 18.

I dunno - I think there were some replacement brothers who got the seats out of Russia because I can't find the Russian brothers in the Airport Brotherhood of 18 pic.
