  Inside the famous Denisova cave in Siberia

  2. current

  when our ancestors first migrated out of africa around 60,000 years ago, they were not alone.

  at that time, at least two other species of hominid cousins walked the eurasian landmassneanderthals and denisovans.

  as our modern human ancestors migrated through eurasia, they encountered the neanderthals and interbred.

  Now I know why my High School JW crush had brow ridges. Seriously.

  i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

  i thought this report was very well done.

  here's the link : http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/28/australia-jehovah-witness-sex-abuse-hannigan-lklv.cnn.

  1,006 individuals in Australia out of 66,000 Witnesses. That's 1 out of 60 members and it doesn't take into account that:

  1. There are likely to be several molesters for every single one discovered.
  2. There are mostly likely to have been multiple victims by each individual.

  Going to a bad place when i die

  2. beliefs

  i've thought and said too much to ever gain jehovahs forgiveness and love if i want to be a christian again.

  i made a topic on my unforgivable sin and blaspemy of the holy spirit.. i feel saddness everyday having no relationship with god, no religion and fear of the afterlife.

  even when i was kid i feared death and the end of the world.

  I feel it in my sprirt in my deep soul, that GOD doesnt love me and will never love me again

  060702015, you need, in cooperation with your therapist, to root that feeling out.

  Also, if you haven' already, see a psychiatrist and get on some good anti-depressants. From personal experience they have worked for me and I was at a point in my life where I was going to commit suicide.

  I wonder how exposed to this information the general Australian public is. Will the Australian Witnesses see a backlash from people in their door to door activities?

  You can infer, though not show directly, that Jesus was likely to have thought of mental retardation as demon possession due to the range of non-mental infirmities that were described as being caused by demons.

  In Luke 13:10-13 Jesus is said to have healed a crippled hunchback woman "...who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.".

  In Matthew 12:22 it is said, "Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see."

  And in Luke 11:14, "Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed."

  If grossly physical ailments could be considered to be demonic then anything, including retardation, would be most likely to have been thrown in with the rest.

  James, The Bible definitely speaks out on the issue of slavery.

  i just heard this a few minutes ago by a jw friend who is still an elder in my old hall.

  the kingdom hall i used to attend and my mom still attends was paid off many years ago and serves about 6 congregations.

  one of the english congregations has a lot of financially well of members.

  "To add insult to injury the CO recommended that since the congregation could afford to save $70,000 so quickly, then it would only be appropriate to raise the monthly contribution that is sent to the Society by another $1000 a month."

  “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you any more straw. Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.’” Exodus 5:10-11 New International Version

  JW Hatred and Elders Apathetic Manners Drove Me Here! Why are JWs fooled in to thinking the WTS Cares?

  by Judas Maccabee in

  2. beliefs

  for years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.

  with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.

  i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

  Judas Maccabee:

  " How does anyone leave with dignity and not have the A word attached for life?"

  Many on this forum would recommend that you fade gradually attending less and less meetings as time passes. Hopefully the elders will ignore you as you disappear.

  Welcome Judas Maccabee. Personality clashes are a common reason for people to leave the JWs. Are you out or are you still in the Kingdom Hall?
