The convicts of this crime escaped from a high security prison in Argentina because the guard, a JW, had no guns.

Triple Crimen: la insólita justificación del guardiacárcel sin arma

Triple Crime: The unbelievable justification of the prison guard without a weapon

Los hermanos Lanatta y Schilacci se fugaron del penal de Alvear sin mayores resistencias
The Lanatta brothers and Schilacci escaped from the Alvear prison without major resistance

Buenos Aires.- Pasan las horas y cada vez aparecen argumentos increíbles para las serias medidas de seguridad que supone un penal de máxima detención. Ahora se filtró la insólita justificación delguardiacárcel reducido por los condenados por elTriple Crimen, los hermanos Lanatta y Víctor Schilacci, para fugarse de la cárcel: no tenía armas porque es Testigo de Jeová y la religión le impide la portación de las mismas. ¿Creer o reventar?

Buenos Aires - The hours go by and with each passing hour even more incredible arguments appear that show the serious [gaps] in security that a maximum security prison has. Now the unbelievable justification of the prison guard is known, overpowered by the convicts of the Triple Crime (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_crime), the Lanatta brothers and Victor Schilacci, to let them escape from the prison: he had no weapons because he is a Jehovah's Witness and the religion prohibits him from carrying any. ¿To believe or to explode?

El periodista Luis Beldi publicó el curioso dato arrojado de la investigación sobre qué sucedió en el puesto uno del portón de la Unidad 30 de alta seguridad, donde debía haber tres guardias. "Esto es una cama, acá no tendría que haber nadie, eso es lo que arreglamos", dijo uno de los condenados, según relató el guardia del portón.

Luis Beldi, a journalist, published the curious piece of data about the investigation of what happened in the post 1 of the gate of the high security unit 30, where three guards are supposed to be. "This is a trap, there shouldn't be anyone here, that is what we arranged", said one of the convicts, as told by the gate guard.

Reducir al guardia, consigna Beldi, fue un simple trámite: el vigilante era un Testigo de Jehová que no portaba armas porque su religión se lo impide. "¿Hay fuerzas de seguridad en el mundo que reclutan a religiosos que detestan las armas?", fue la pregunta que se hacen todos

Overpowering the guard, tells Beldi, was a simple thing: The guard was a Jehovah's Witness that did not carry any weapons because his religion prohibits it. Are there any security forces in the world that hire religious people who hate weapons"? is the question everyone is asking.

in the no.1 watchtower of 2016, they (ironically) printed an article on honesty.here is something they said:"lyingwhat is it?

saying something false to someone who is entitledto know the truth.

Add "Creationists" to that list of their own definitions.

Statistics - Spreadsheets - Opinion

by berrygerry in

so, spent a fair bit of time on the stats.. the 2010-2015 numbers are available here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0bwv5uvzb3-67axpzavk0m0nttfe&usp=sharing.

also there are spreadsheets of: ratios, peak-pubs, and the best is a combo of ratios, peak pubs & average pubs.. you can play with these by "select all" and "sort" according to your preference.. if you would like any other combination, i would try to create it and post it for you.. of interest:.

as has been noted, the biggest standout of 2015 is the increase of only 18k in peak pubs while having 260k baptized.

Brazil has had a shitty 2014 and 2015 in many ways. I am not surprised that people are much easier to hold captive in the cult.

It seems like the Watchtower is still encouraging "Theocratic Warfare". In the No.1 Watchtower of 2016, they (ironically) printed an article on honesty.
Here is something they said:
"LyingWHAT IS IT? Saying something false to someone who is entitledto know the truth. Lying can include misrepresenting or distortingfacts in order to mislead a person, omitting key information to deceivesomeone, and exaggerating the truth in order to give a falseimpression."
Notice the loophole!
Lying, according to them, is saying something false TO SOMEONE WHO IS ENTITLED TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
Meaning, EACH PERSON CAN DECIDE THAT THE OTHER IS NOT ENTITLED TO THE TRUTH AND LIE WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES!
I guess the 8 million JW's are not considered by the Governing Body to be "deserving" of the truth!

Religulous Woke Me Up

by thedepressedsoul in

there are many people that get their wake up call one way or another.. for me, i was bored and went to netflix.

on there was a documentary called, "religulous".

i watched it and that started my search.

It's good but Maher does have some things that are wrong. I didn't dare to watch that movie until after I was out. Guess I was really indoctrinated.

Nativity Scene in JW Literature

friends

does anyone know if the jws have very printed a picture of, what might be considered, a nativity scene in any of their literature?

i think it would funny to create a christmas card using their own artwork!

haha!

I meant the actual video of the photodrama of creation has "oh night divine" and "silent night" as the music. "Oh Night Divine" starts at around the second minute of the second video. "Silent night" starts almost at minute 7 of the first video. It is unreal.

Could Wt afford to proselytise in China if they were allowed in.

by joe134cd in

i was just thinking today if china opened it doors to wt, and there was the surge of interest as was the the case with the european eastern block countries when communism 1st fell.

what would be wt reaction toward it.

could wt even afford to proselytise in china.

ILoveTTATT2

Data-dog nailed it. If there was a formula to predict growth among JW's, a significant factor is poverty, but another significant factor is the degree of catholicism in the country.
