I don't want to be a Jehovah's Witness anymore, but I'm scared of losing my family- Story On Australia's ABC
by fulltimestudent inthe abc is a government owned media group, and today's web-page included this story:.
its formatted as answers to specific questions, and in response to the question, "why did you stop believing" comes a story we hear much too often.. the special thing about the story this time is that likely millions of australian will read her story.. https://www.abc.net.au/life/i-dont-want-to-be-a-jehovahs-witness-anymore-or-lose-my-family/11885098.
the article also reminds us that australians are giving up on religion in increasing numbers.. quote: "it seems australians are increasingly giving up on god — or at least religion.. on the last census in 2016, nearly a third of australians (30 per cent) reported they had 'no religion' — the highest number of people ever to do so, and up 11 per cent on 2006.".

smiddy3:
Your not kidding! The 700-Club must have billions to throw around. Grandpa said that if JW's will go to court to help defend a JW pedo, then they will do just about anything the Watchtower wants.
That's idolatry isn't it smiddy3? Some people have said that JW's would swallow poison cool-aid if the Watchtower told them to.

Thank you HappyDad and everyone!
I think Mike and Kim are collecting a record of every congregation they can find, and making videos on them.
Some people think that one day the Watchtower will be doing everything online, and there won't be any more Kingdom Halls. I don't know, but at the rate they are going, it sure seems that way.

"MUST" Release such Guilty Members to Punishment
Watchtower 1962, November 15th, pg.-693, par.-9-10
“9 Worldly authorities render a judgment and punish persons, whether they are inside the congregation or outside, if they violate the laws of decency and good order. The violators have no right to complain at such punishment, as Paul showed by his words before Caesar’s judgment seat. (Acts 25:11) Hence the Christian congregation cannot protect any of its members if they steal, smuggle, commit bigamy, murder, libel, defraud, and so forth. The congregation must release such guilty members to punishment by worldly authorities. Since the guilty break the laws of the land and thus oppose the “authority,” they are taking a stand against God’s arrangement.”
“10 The Christian congregation has no orders from God and has no right to protect such opposers and lawbreakers from the due punishment by the “authority” of the land. We cannot hinder, oppose or condemn the execution of the krima or judgment by aiding or shielding lawbreakers. To do so would put the Christian congregation also in opposition to God’s arrangement. Besides letting the krima or “judgment” take its course upon offending members who bring reproach upon God’s people, the congregation may disfellowship such lawbreakers. The congregation does not want to deserve a krima or “judgment” with the lawbreakers by siding or cooperating with them and opposing the worldly “authority.” It also wants no reproach.”
Paragraph 9 plainly states: “The congregation MUST release such guilty members to punishment by worldly authorities.” This is not a request, but a command issued by the Watchtower. Wouldn't this include rapists and pedos within the congregations?

Governing Body prefers property over prayers, songs and use of bible (Mexico)
by krismalone infor many years the government of mexico did not allow religious organizations to own property.
any property used by a religious organization was confiscated by the government.
this law changed in the mid 1990's.
