  July Broadcast Denies That JW Children Die Rather Than Have Medical Care

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  anthony morris 3rd delivered the broadcast this month and advised that lies are circulated that they let children die rather than have medical care .

  he says this is so inaccurate as to be a boldfaced lie ...... further he says it is "up to the parents to determine what would be the best treatment for their children" .

  now, does this mean that parents are really free to make a decision to accept blood for their minor child, if they so choose?

  Sure their not responsible. Charles Manson did not kill a soul with his hands either. With their logic Manson wouldn't be in jail but free and praiseworthy. Fuqing bastards.

  sam harris did this interview with megan phelps formerly of the infamous westboro baptist church, and i got to say holy $#!

  @ the parallels to jw indoctrination/beliefs is actually pretty astonishing.. http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/leaving-the-church.

  highly recommend everyone listen to this interview, especially if you're on the fence about continuing as a jw or in any other overbearing cult/religion..

  That's great what they have done for the LGBT community. My niece is part of that community and I have recently reestablished my relationship with her after leaving the cult.

  What I gather from reform Judaism is that it is more culturally based than religious. Good for you having a community. That is one of the toughest things leaving is not having friends or family and starting from scratch. It can be very lonely.

  Caleb please don't take this the wrong way I'm just a little confused by your stand as a Jew. Perhaps I'm off here but earlier you mentioned a former boyfriend and your username is Caleb. Are you a gay believing Jew?

  How the new US gay marriage ruling could cause trouble for the WTS

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here are a couple of ways that come to mind:.

  -- suppose a married gay couple, or even one of the partners, starts studying the bible with jws and decides he wants to baptized?

  would the jws require him to get a divorce?

  Dedorio what part of the country do you live in? I worry about the safety of the general public in your vicinity as you are the exact type of person your god would instruct to killI the sinners.

  Caleb the issue is faith. I for one wonder if Jesus ever existed. Check out Richard Carrier on the historicity of Jesus. Belief in Santa Claus or the Easter bunny is not a worldwide phenomena exerting its influence on policies. Theism is and that is the problem. I just finished listening to "the end of faith" by Sam Harris and he lays out pretty convincingly why faith is and will continue to wreak havoc on mankind as long as it exists.

  If faith is not challenged it will continue to exert control over people's lives. People that have no choice because of where and when they were born, and others that have no belief at all. An example of its influence is that a majority in the U.S. believe evolution is a myth. A third of the world are taught in their holy book that they should kill all infidels.

  Again you show your limited knowledge. The JW's did start out as a congregational structure where each church was loosely affiliated with the other. Watchtower has become an ecclesiastical one throughout the 20th century. Headquarters appoints the elders throughout the world and dictate how they proceed. Thus they are liable for their actions.

  Are your children young or grown?

  These men do despicable things believing they are doing good. As an example having 3 men meet with a young baptized girl in her teens about some misstep with a boy. That is horrific and abusive. I have been involved with judicial committees similar to that as it is very common. Do I trust these uneducated untrained men? Should anyone? They are not psychologist or counselors. Yet they sit in judgement of others in their little star chambers. The accused with no representation next to them.

  This is the system you are defending Nitty. A mother that is on this site and visited sites like jwfacts that continues to defend it and expose children to this cult is simply astonishing. It takes a special kind of CD to to accomplish that. If I knew even a tenth if what I now know there is no way I could be a part of it.

  They would have to lie if mother told them to. It's called theocratic warfare.

  @ Nitty whether intentional or not the wt. policies put children at risk. The 2 witness rule and policy of calling headquarters for direction rather than calling the police shows that the orgs concern is not for the victims but rather their pocket books. All high control male dominated groups have greater problems with paedophilia.

  I was an elder for nearly a decade and fortunately for the paedophile creeps never had to face a situation like this. I told the other men on the body that if something like this ever came up they better not let me know about it as I would likely take the a##hole out myself.
