As you can see in the Elders way of dealing with this increasing issue of this sytem of things, the child abuse trauma may go to the authorities for this detestable crime. If the Elders do not follow this Doctrine then they can be sued since the rights of the abused are taken away. Since 1992 this has been followed to the letter by all elders. If not they will be sued. If they had a case before the letter was written then the Society would take care of the case. I am not sure that if 56 people did sue they would get $400,000,000. Just take time out and divide all that up. Some cancer cases never even get half that much loot. So my conclusion is this; it is a dream for an apostate that will never happen.

Oh and here is the letter sent to all elders for you lazy apostates.

Reminders Regarding The Handling Of Cases Involving Child Abuse, ": (1) As directed in the June 1, 1992, letter to all bodies of elders, you should immediately call the Legal Department for direction if you learn of a case of child abuse. Child abuse would include sexual abuse, self- evident physical abuse, and extreme neglect involving a minor. (2) If the alleged victim is now an adult but was a minor at the time of the abuse, please call the Legal Department. (3) If you become aware of a past case of child abuse and you are not certain whether the elders involved at the time called the Legal Department for direction, please call the Legal Department for assistance as soon as possible. (4) Child abuse is a crime. Never suggest to anyone that they should not report an allegation of child abuse to the police or other authorities. If you are asked, make it clear that whether to report the matter to the authorities or not is a personal decision for the individual to make and that there are no congregation sanctions for either decision. That is, no elder will criticize anyone who reports such an allegation to the authorities"

CULT CULT CULT

by minimus in

i have read many opinions about jw's being a cult.a dictionary describes cult as a system of religious beliefs and ritual .. some have viewed even major religions as a cult, such as the roman catholic church.based upon webster almost anybody or anything that is viewed as ritualistic could be said to be cultic.when someone tries to negate jehovah's witnesses by using.

the "cult" word, i believe they are not seeing that many others could legitimately be regarded as a cult or at least "cultic".therefore the word loses alot of meaning.

some have said that the watchtower is a cult because of the control factor.

Your not hating me are you zev? The Bible says not to hate. Go back to my idea of hating FALSE religion. My opinion was to hate those religions and not mine.

Some seem to want it both ways, I note that many of the JW antagonist are opposed to the whole concept of disfellowshiping (because many of them have been kicked out), and yet they want others to be removed on the statement of one person: Elder Jones, Br. Smith hugged me, not to worry Sister, we will kick him out of the congregation, and turn him over to the police. It seems that to some, the JWs will always be in the wrong, if they remove someone, then others will complain; what right do you have to remove him/her, if they do not remove a person then the same faultfinders will say: How can you let him/her be a member of the congregation. I think that its ironic that people who say that they want nothing to do with the WTS or JWs will spend so much time and effort looking for the JWs to fall so that they can jump all over them. Some people seem to have way to much free time."

Notice the reply of the JW's. The last thing they said was they would not stop anybody if they wanted to go to the police to get the DNA. The only reason they are showing this propaganda of JW's hiding the molesters would be so that the churches would get less of the spotlight. A blackball tactic to take the Catholics away from the news.

I would have my child in the hospital first chance I get.

/////////////////Hating False Religion and Apostasy

Then, too, as Jesus showed his hatred for lawlessness by exposing hypocritical religionists, so today Jehovah's Witnesses are showing their hatred for all hypocritical religious lawlessness. How? By distributing Bible literature that lays bare Babylon the Great for what she really is, a religious harlot. If we truly hate lawless religious hypocrisy, we will be forthright in exposing Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion. We will do so for the sake of honesthearted people whom she has blinded and held in spiritual bondage. To the extent that we truly hate the lawlessness of Babylon the Great, to that extent we will be zealous in sharing in all the features of the Kingdom ministry.-Matthew 15:1-3, 7-9; Titus 2:13, 14; Revelation 18:1-5.

The obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates. Our attitude toward apostates should be that of David, who declared: "Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you, O Jehovah, and do I not feel a loathing for those revolting against you? With a complete hatred I do hate them. They have become to me real enemies." (Psalm 139:21, 22) Modern-day apostates have made common cause with "the man of lawlessness," the clergy of Christendom. (2 Thessalonians 2:3) As loyal Witnesses of Jehovah, we therefore have absolutely nothing in common with them. Being imperfect, our hearts could easily have a tendency toward being critical of our brothers. As individuals, those of "the faithful and discreet slave" are imperfect humans. (Matthew 24:45-47) But this class is faithful and discreet. Apostates capitalize on errors or seeming mistakes made by brothers who take the lead. Our safety lies in avoiding apostate propaganda as though it were poison, which in fact it is.-Romans 16:17, 18.

We have seen that the world is filled with lawlessness, which is synonymous with sin. It is not enough for us to love righteousness; we must also hate lawlessness. Some of those who have been disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation may have thought that they loved righteousness, but they did not sufficiently hate lawlessness. We have also seen why we should hate lawlessness. We cannot have a good conscience and self-respect unless we do. Furthermore, lawlessness means being disloyal to Jehovah God. And lawlessness causes us to reap very bitter fruitage-misery, corruption, and death.

We have also noted how we show that we hate lawlessness. We do so by having absolutely nothing to do with any kind of dishonesty, sexual immorality, or apostasy. Since we want to share in Jehovah's vindication and desire to make his heart rejoice, we must not only love righteousness and keep busy in his service but also hate lawlessness, as did our Leader and Commander, Jesus Christ.

Poll results are in!

here is a list of solutions that were made so far:.

"god is a culturally postulated superhuman being.".

"well a thing is an "entity" so i'm going with god being a thing!!!".

It could mean that some people have too much of an opinion about other peoples opinions or polls right? This God poll is from a few people who took the time out of life to explain to us what God is.

It is not a Bleep poll. Now the one that this crazydrinker started has no real evidence. It was taken from one opinion. Could that possibly be called a poll or just one guys opinion? Now if you claim that I am any of those things then have a few other choices of what I am. Be a man about it and give other choices.
