Awake! Watching the World "Studies on Sex Abuse by Priests"

by ezekiel3 in

from awake!

november 22, 2004 "watching the world" pg 29:.

"two long-awaited studies have found that the [u.s.] roman catholic church suffered an epidemic of child sexual abuse that involved at least 4 percent of priests over 52 years and peaked with the ordination class of 1970, in which one of every 10 priests was eventually accused of abuse," reports the new york times.

What is about sexually restrictive regimes that causes this perverted behaviour?

JWs are not allowed ANY sexual behaviour before they are married. Catholic priests are celibate for life (correct me if I'm wrong).

What I can't square is how these people expect to get away with it. They are commiting these crimes in front of their omnipresent God, yet expect to get away with it. Is it a lack of faith? Do they expect forgiveness if they confess, or do they expect to get thru' Armageddon if they don't fornicate on the day it happens, with no witnesses?

If it's the "Jehovah will make all things right after Armageddon" then the WT has to take some of the blame - an abusers charter as far as I'm concerned.

Shame on you!

Urgent Plea from Jehovah by One of His Anointed (sacred secret revealed)

by Brownboy in

in all of my postings i have sounded out a message of warning to all of those that cared to listen.

we are at the point where a warning is in the form of a solemn plea.

i am revealing to you a secret that most everyone has always asked.

Jehovah will first cause your heart to beat heavily.
You then begin to sense the taste of blood in your mouth.
And finally, you feel a distinct impression on your forehead.

I can honestly say that I am one of the anointed. I meet all the criteria and have the scars to prove it.

It started in Geordie Byres in Ayr, drinking Timothy Taylors Landlord, a superb beer. Started at about 8 until midnight. Came home, tripped up over the step and banged my head into the Harley Davidson ashtray on the side table and bit my tongue.

My heart beat very heavily, it's a long walk home.

I bit my tongue and tasted blood

I have the Harley Davidson wings impression on my forehead.

Haha, all you are going to die at Armageddon, me I'm going to heaven.

Studying the new "Keep on the Watch!" brochure - The Illustrations

by ozziepost in

dubs now are using their newly released "keep on the watch!

" brochure to "invite" the lapsed, the recently interested, the unsuspecting to commit themselves to "god's earthly organisation".

the trouble is that the writing department have used this glossy brochure to misrepresent the 'real' truth.

He doesn't need to turn the pages because Jehovah will send a wind to do it for him.

My daddy told me farting was worldly.

Studying the new "Keep on the Watch!" brochure - Contradictions on page 18?

by ozziepost in

it's a while since i reviewed the publications that dubs use on their "home bible studies", so the release of a new brochure gives us that opportunity again!.

dubs will be using the "keep on the watch!

" brochure to "invite" the lapsed, as well as the recently interested ones to commit themselves to "god's earthly organisation".. the trouble is, that the writing department have used this glossy brochure to misrepresent the 'real' truth.. page 18 shows a picture of a happy social gathering in "the new system".

Wallflower

Anything you think of- Jehovah can make it possible. He's the Willy Wonka of the universe.

After the big A, there will be no need to produce all the magazines, books etc, so the all the Bethel plants will be altered to produce plastic chairs, microphone stands, rostrums and that crappy boring carpet you always find at Kingdum Halls. It will give all the Theocratic Umpa Lumpas a purpose.

Wonder if mummy, Nelly Lenz, would be so understanding if her little girl, Erika, decided that some other religion was for her and she did want to be a JW and snuck out to some other church at night instead of going to the KH ?

World War 1 and 1914

by Schizm in

.

how did it just so happen that a world war took place in the very year that russell had attached so much importance to?

i realize that he expected 1914 to see the end of the world's governments, and of course that didn't happen, but it still seems to be quite remarkable that this war happened that very year ... a war that would later be construed to be the fulfillment of jesus' prediction in matthew 24:7.. the explanation given on the e-watchman site is that satan deliberately caused the war to happen so as to mislead jehovah's witnesses into thinking they had actually seen the fulfillment of bible prophecy, in order to make them think that jesus had returned invisably.. any ideas?.

Wallflower

The answer is that Armageddon did happen in 1914. Satan won, he kicked Jesus ass, big style. That's why nothing changed and why Jehovahs true organization, as it was at the time, has now lost it's way, because Jehovah was cast into the abyss, so it is directionless. Ole Satan is now having his wicked way with the harlot.

It's a possibility ?!

Serena Williams - a good role model

by TheOldHippie in

jw
friends

.

serena's dress at a london show yesterday night.

not quite a kh dress ...............

Wallflower

I have confirmed that she was never baptized nor is she a non-baptized publisher. She is not a role-model to JWs.

SoJ are you one of the Governing Body or just being hopeful?

Check your medical records!!

by Wallflower in

i never thought would my jw upbringing would ever come back to haunt me, but it sure gave me a jolt today.. brought up as a jw from birth.

my father always an elder and my mother the prima donna, we were at every assembly and meeting, there was always the home study, field service, had the co stay with a few times, we moved to where the need was greatest in 1974, (moved back in 1989).

at about 1 or 2 years old, so i was told, i should have an operation to have my adenoids(?!

Wallflower

At 18 I'm DA'd for smoking (a couple of cigars - wow).

I find this even more incredible in your post.

I was 17 and went on a college trip to London. Unfortunately, I repeated the whole story (I suppose with a bit of bravado) to a brother I was working with at the time. He had an admission of guilt, hence me up before the JC. It was only a couple of cigars, but maybe I might of exaggerated little.

Blonde : Unfortunately you have to opt back in, it cannot be assumed that even if you say you have left the faith that they will not find some obscure document left in your file and err on the side of caution. You have to state your desire to be treated as normal.

Purza : The trouble with JW relatives is that the death before Armageddon is a free pass to the New Order. I cannot put my hand on my heart and say with complete honesty that my JW wouldn't deny me blood to save my life, because they would think that it would save a wordly son. Frightening.

Hillbilly : Fishnet support hose eh? You cheeky thing!

Mulan : That was my experience too. The doctor looked at me, sitting in my bike leathers and said, "You a biker, I should think so.", and ripped the "no blood" statement out of the file. It's another stupid belief that tries to set them apart from the rest of Christianity, like the stake issue, the trinity, but this one costs peoples lives!
