Baiting Dubs for fun and amusement

by TerryWalstrom in

jw: "wha-a-a-t?

mormon: "okay.

other jw: "that's just .

I knew two "fleshly" brothers in the JWs who were both ex-Mormon and who would proudly show off their excommunication certificates. They were also very scholarly (within the JW context) and could debate with "Born Again" evangelicals as they used to be called. Ah, the good old JW days when you can have a deep discussion.

The Assyrian started to attack from Australia

by opusdei1972 in

the gb has been preparing the flock for the assyrian's attack, that now is starting from australia:.

elders, you can learn some helpful lessons from what we have just discussed: (1) the best thing you can do to prepare for the future attack of the assyrian is to strengthen your faith in god and help your brothers to do the same.

(2) when the assyrian attacks, you must be completely convinced that jehovah will save us.

(3) At that time, the direction that you receive from Jehovah’s organization may seem strange or unusual. But all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether we agree with them or not, because obeying these instructions will save our lives.

That's the second time I've seen that remark about following any instruction unconditionally. It's beginning to frighten me.

Richard Dawkins espouses Militant Atheism: "Mock them, Ridicule them." Attack Religious People with Insults!

by MagicMItchJensen in

richard dawkins has said frequently if we don't agree with religious or spiritual people we need to "insult them!

" tell their their out of their "fucking gourds!

" and make sure you really show them how stupid they are for believing in something they can't prove!".

Perry:

"Though the New Atheists don't represent all atheists; their rude, mocking and smug comportment..."

The reason some atheists are mocking is due to decades of ridicule and rudeness against them from those who believe in god(s).

If Australia were to pass a law requiring that clergy (elders) report abuse to the police it should be retroactive to include past incidents. Then they could get the Witnesses.

I got an idea. Someone should post a link to the Australian trial on JW Facebook media with the statement that the elder on trial is doing a great job of defending the organization. Such a damn lie might encourage them to go there in order to see what's going on.

Do you feel vindicated by the exposure of the WT Society in Australia? It seems like a feeding frenzy on here! I love it. You?

by Wasanelder Once in

are you pleased with the exposure of the society in australia?

do you feel personally vindicated by it?

do you think it gives you credibility with others now that all the things you said were going on, actually are documented?

"It seems like a feeding frenzy on here!"

All that spiritual food is giving me indigestion.

How many of the 1.006 alleged abusers will be investigated by Police?

by Listener in

the commission has the names of 1,006 alleged abusers within australian congregations since 1950. some will have died and others will already have been prosecuted but the branch did not report any of these allegations to police.. the terms of reference for the royal commission is more about redress for the victims but that can include criminal prosecution although they are more focused on financial compensation.. however, now that they have the names of 1,006 potential criminals there is some responsibility to see that they are dealt with criminally.

it appears to be in their authority to have cases followed through by referring them for further investigation.

this is clear because the commissioner has recently reported that to date, they have done so in 493 cases identified within the scope of their commission.
