Many JW's do not realize that they had already been inspected in 1879 and found fit. So why would they need to be inspected again in 1918 or 1919?
this is the first image of the convicted child groomer who confessed to her jehovahâs witness congregation that she groomed a boy from the age of 14 before having sex with him two years later.. .
perverted pamela lonergan, who went on to work in childcare settings and as a carer in the community, admitted four counts of defilement of a child under the age of 17.. the offences occurred at locations in kerry and cork in 2008 and 2009.. appearing before cork circuit court earlier this month, lonergan of treanmanagh, glenbeigh, co kerry, received a one year jail sentence for the offences.. speaking afterwards, one local said the community had been stunned to learn of lonerganâs abuse.. he said another neighbour had met lonergan on the road the week before the trial and she had told him she was moving up to cork for a while.. â obviously she thought her name wasnât going to be disclosed in the media,â he said.. âif the victim hadnât waived his anonymity to allow this happen, sheâ have come back here when she got out and weâd have been none the wiser.â.
cork circuit criminal court heard lonergan was 26 when she first started initiating contact with the minor, having met him in a social setting.

whenever i see a photo of a literature cart, they all look the same to me.
are they a standard design?
who makes them?
Jehovah's Witness Literature Carts.
what a mockery that statement is to over 99% of their followers.
there is nothing biblically that makes the jw memorial day important to anyone that does not partake.
they still continue to say .
Listener:
You make some very good points in your research. Thank you!

a team of lawyers has released the results of its survey on alleged child abuse by members of the jehovah's witnesses religious group in japan.. the team held a news conference in tokyo on monday.
it provides legal support to former members of the group as well as to children of its members.. the lawyers conducted the survey, following the publishing of the health and welfare ministry guidelines last year about child abuse related to parents' religious beliefs.
a total of 560 people responded.. the survey shows 81 percent of the respondents said they had cards indicating they desired to refuse blood transfusions.. the ministry's guidelines state that parents' refusal of medical treatments for children on religious grounds amounts to neglect --- a form of abuse.. the lawyers said investigations are necessary to find how many people died from refusing blood transfusions, and how many of them were children.. the survey also shows 92 percent of the respondents experienced whipping, 96 percent were banned from school activities, and 93 percent were forced to limit their human relations.. the lawyers said many of the children experienced physical and mental abuse, which afterward led to problems such as loneliness, sense of alienation and a lack of self-esteem.

do you have the rutherford harp bible study course quiz cards?.
sure, you can download the entire set with the bookmarks.
atlantis, is there anywhere else that the watchtower admits that disfellowshipping or excommunication is pagan?.
sure, they said the same thing back in 1880 about a lot of churches being like the beast for practicing excommunication.. as papacy established the priesthood over the church, soprotestantism has established almost the same, and there isno opportunity for the body to edify itself, every joint takingpart.
true, there is a seeming show of liberty at prayer meetings,&c., but it is only upon the surface, for the ordainedpastor is to watch zealously lest anything contrary to theteachings of his church should be expressed, and if so tosilence the audacious member at once, for the church creedis the rule, not the word of god.
Thank you friends! We get questions all the time from people all over the world about the Tower. I think they use these quotes to try and help loved ones OUT of the organization.

when i browse jw org, the following years of watchtower magazines are missing from the drop-down menu:.
1987 - 1990.
1997-1998.. i dont want to install any libraries from jw org because of spyware concerns.. are these years included in the downloadable libraries?.
Yes, I just checked and the years jump from 1986 to 1991 and 1995 was missing as well. But you know how the Tower is, they like to hide things.
And don't forget to get some of those sweet rolls and hot coffee back in the breakroom!

Atlantis, is there anywhere else that the Watchtower admits that disfellowshipping or excommunication is pagan?
Sure, they said the same thing back in 1880 about a lot of churches being like the BEAST for practicing excommunication.
As Papacy established the priesthood over the church, so
Protestantism has established almost the same, and there is
no opportunity for the body to edify itself, every joint taking
part. True, there is a seeming show of liberty at prayer meetings,
&c., but it is only upon the surface, for the ordained
pastor is to watch zealously lest anything contrary to the
teachings of his church should be expressed, and if so to
silence the audacious member at once, for the church creed
is the rule, not the Word of God. If this is not sufficient,
they must have a sort of church trial and excommunicate him
["kill him"]. The trial, by the way, gives evidence of another
likeness to the beast, namely, the exaltation of the
teachings of the organization above the Word of God, for all
such are tried according to "the authorities" of their church.
Another mark is the ordination of apostolic succession.
This is claimed by Methodists and others, who go through
the same form of consecrating their ministers as do the Episcopal
and Roman Catholic churches, and without scriptural
authority.
