  this morning i phoned my sister so as to know how the things are going with her problem with the congregation.

  if i remember well, five weeks ago, my sister was asked by the elders (in the street) to attend a judicial meeting for apostasy.

  my sister told them that she firstly needs a formal letter specifying who is accusing her.

  What is the authority of the Royal Commission? I went to their website and they tout themselves as a nonprofit organization, not a legal authority.

  The Australian Royal Commission will NOT do a damn thing to the WT!

  the rothschild family will not allow the aussies to take any significant action against their religious wing (mormons, jws, adventists, etc.).

  the worst outcome for the borg will be a relatively small fine and a deadline to change their rules.

  that is all..

  during yesterday's rc proceedings (wednesday 5th august 2015), one of the victim's lawyers questioned mr vincent toole, the jw organization's legal counsel for the australian branch office.

  she asked him why at least two of the jw elders who gave evidence last week refused to swear on the bible.

  mr toole appear puzzled by her question and said he did not know.

  I recall dubs not willing to swear on a translation other than their own.

  But not doing any oath because all oaths are Pagan? Can't say I remember that now.

  Marriage vows and baptismal oaths seem to be ok with them.

  Also, I believe there was an oath for becoming a pioneer.

  They shun even when they don't have to. its their fall back position. And to top it off.....they tell you how hard it is for them to do it!!!

  This is a very good point. They shun even when they don't have to...then they tell you how hard it is for them to do. Uh, no. It's not hard to give someone the silent treatment if you hate them.

  Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

  by LAWHFol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

  i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

  "atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

  Atheism is the absence of belief in a deity, not the firm rejection of it. An atheist can fail to believe in a deity and reject the possibility or not.

  Excellent point.

  I knew a few. They handled it with authorities, but reluctantly, no care for the child, and gossiping about the child to the people at the hall. Ruined the victim's reputation, you know, because girls are damaged goods if they get raped (according to their twisted theology), and if they didn't cry out, they are guilty of fornication.

  God this is a sick organization.

  i've thought and said too much to ever gain jehovahs forgiveness and love if i want to be a christian again.

  i made a topic on my unforgivable sin and blaspemy of the holy spirit.. i feel saddness everyday having no relationship with god, no religion and fear of the afterlife.

  even when i was kid i feared death and the end of the world.

  The great thing about religious belief systems is they are 100% flexible. If your belief system is causing you pain, simply revise it.

  (Even better: Free yourself from all of it.)
