after a number of high profile cases where both children and survivors clearly weren't adequately protected, the charity commission here in the uk launched an investigation into the wbts as a whole here in britain.
the main concerns are around the child safeguarding policies being inadequate.
wbts have fought every step of the way so far.. wbts have been to the high court, who told them to complain to the proper tribunal.. wbts have been to the proper tribunal, who told them that too darn right there were suitable grounds for the charity commission to want to investigate their inability to protect children.. and now the wbts have gone back to the court of appeal to demand that the charity commission inquiry be halted.. i hope the court of appeal tells them that, yes, they too need to have proper safeguarding measures for children and to get on with co-operating with the investigation.. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/charity-commission-defends-its-investigation-into-jehovahs-witness-charity-in-the-court-of-appeal.
What's the matter with all of you!!
I'm completely disgusted with this thread!
How can you ask God to answer a human court?
Don't you know that God, I mean the GB, has appointed these men to oversee the molesting of kids WITHOUT human court interference?
How dare you comment on such an arrangement!

i've seen this twice now within a month.
a car group hanging out at a gas station.
one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.
This thread reminded me of well, me.
I'm guilty of approaching people at gas stations trying to get them to think about God.
I never stalked people I would just politely engage people while I pumped my own gas.
The Witchtower is so desperate and publishers with little to no privileges are seizing this opportunity to report tracts on their field service report and make them look good to the body of maggots. This coupled with the web link pointing counting as one placement as well.
This is what its come down to. Oh, I'm sure Christ is smiling down at these morons.
warning of a long boring post ahead.
i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.
i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.
how honest are the proponents of evolution?
idk but curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?
In 14 years have you ever held a conversation Outlaw?
Yes, but apparently Outlaw is bit more primitive in that he communicates by drawings....um...I meant pictures.
in my old congro the p.o's wife came 1st before anyone and i mean anyone!!.
karter..
Oh this one is easy.

attention can be drawn to both the age of these skeletal remains and the conclusions that can be drawn.. .
skeletons dating to 10,000 years ago, bearing marks of a violent death and possibly bondage, provides fresh evidence that prehistoric hunter-gatherers did not necessarily live in bonhomie.
disturbingly, two of the 12 people found by lake turkana, kenya were not marked by signs of violence but seem to have died with their hands bound, a team of archaeologists reported in nature on wednesday.. we know prehistoric humans were armed to the teeth, but it's an open question against whom they wielded their stone knives and spears – animals, or each other.
today has been a horrible day.
what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.
i was in shock and didn't ask how.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
The GB cares more about keeping their authority in place than about your friend.
And your friend dying only solidifies that mental hold on the members that hear about your friends death.
The GB are trash wrapped in expensive suits.
May you have inner peace and tranquility in your life.
hi one and all.. i've lurked for 3 years, about time i signed up.. i'm a still in ms due to family.. fully awake.. i look forward to getting to know all of you..
so, i know there are some from my congregation or from bethel who monitor my posts..... maybe you're looking for something to catch me out?.
just a question: rather than trying to find fault with me, have you stopped and looked into the issues or facts about the organisation that caused me to come to a place like this forum??.
facts are there for anyone to find nowadays....one just has to be willing to pull their head out of the sand.....
Ohhhh, looks like we got a thumbs-down from the one you seek Stuck.
This laughable!
Now get back to putting in those hours in field service peddling your loyalty to those maggots in Brooklyn. And then get to studying that magazine I want to see at least 5 comments from you on meeting day!! And then get to reading your mistranslated NWT Bible and gather some good points from it BUT make sure you mention Jehovah at least 20 times!! Then when you pray don't forget to pray for Anthony "the Mane" Morris so he can finally whack that crap off his ugly melon. Remember if you don't do NONE of these, you will be destroyed at Armageddon!! This is backed by a 100% soul-sucking money back guarantee from none other than.....wait for it......Governing B*tches!!
Good day to you madam....I mean maggot. Hahahahahahaha!!!
Now get back to it!!! Hahahahaha!!!!
i've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.
all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.
it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?
"One older single sister said "we need to more than love Jehovah we should be madly in love with him!" talk about a cringe worthy moment."
I would have b-slapped her (lightly due to age) and then grabbed her by both shoulders and looked into her eyes and said: "Get a grip!!" .....and then told her to have a good day with a big smile and walked away.
