I have all the stuff ready for you, but the last listing was for the 2015 Annual Meeting talk by Lett. Lett states that 1919 was the date at time stamps, 15 to 16 minutes into the talk.

I would need to send all this stuff to you with a download link. That portion of the Annual Meeting is over an hour long, so it will be a little large in size.

I wasn't sure if you were asking me or BoogerMan above. If you need the articles for all those quotes up there, just let me grab another cup of coffee and I'll get right on it for you.

You may as well grab a cup too!

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?

What were the Bible Students practicing back in 1879?

Christmas, Birthdays, Easter, and so on and so on!

Article: Face of Co Kerry woman jailed for grooming and having sex with teenage boy

by Tahoe in

this is the first image of the convicted child groomer who confessed to her jehovah’s 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 lonergan’s 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.. “ obviously she thought her name wasn’t going to be disclosed in the media,” he said.. “if the victim hadn’t waived his anonymity to allow this happen, she’ have come back here when she got out and we’d have been none the wiser.”.

cork circuit criminal court heard lonergan was 26 when she first started initiating contact with the minor, having met him in a social setting.

Literature Carts

by NotFormer in

whenever i see a photo of a literature cart, they all look the same to me.

are they a standard design?

who makes them?

Atlantis

Jehovah's Witness Literature Carts.

One BOE states that JW's should "not" display their Bibles. This statement is also found in the 2014 February Kingdom Ministry on page 4. (See the Kingdom Ministry scan with a "Red Box" at the bottom left.)

The carts were actually started in France in 2001. There have been many different styles of carts.

The PDF file of the history of these literature carts can be found in the Internet Archives. There is a tiny scroll button on the right to scroll down, or you can download the entire PDF.

"...The Most Important Day of the Year" Watchtower January,2024

by Listener in

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 .

You make some very good points in your research. Thank you!

Lawyers release survey on alleged Jehovah's Witness child abuse

by Tahoe in

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.
