in 1967 richard avedon published a poster of his portraits of the beatles.
my jw aunt attacked it for being spiritualistic!
the "third" eye on george's palm was spiritualistic!
I remember some time in the late 70's or 80's.. They had a convention part mentioning the spiritistic dangers of music.. They told us go home and look at your record covers if you see something suspicious destroy it..poor old Billy Joel got turfed because his eyes were spooky.. I am rather embarrassed to think I was so gullible..
just doing research and came across this.. i know this is old however.
here we have a worldly organisation distributing pamphlets and warning parents about child abuse.. last point in particular.
3) inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.. pretty straight forward if you ask me.. watchtower were happy to use that in their magazine.

Child Abuse in Mexico
According to Mexico City’s justice department, “1 in every 8 girls and 1 in every 10 boys are victims of sexual abuse in Mexico City,” reports El Universal newspaper. The justice department is distributing pamphlets that warn parents about sexual abuse and recommend the course of action that should be taken in the event of actual abuse. The recommendations include the following: (1) Believe and support your child when he or she reports being sexually abused. (2) Explain to the child that he or she is not responsible for what happened. (3) Inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.

in years past if you visited an area on holidays. On your return to your congregation you would bring the love of that congregation back.. So the announcement would go something like.

Oh, and WHY does it fail to acknowledge the FACT that there were over 1006 UNREPORTED cases in Australia alone??
Yes why not mention that there is a Royal Commission going on in Australia about child abuse.
And that the Australian government is investigating institutions in an effort to protect children from abuse.
We know why! Because they want to keep the rank and file in the dark.
one part of me is petrified of showing this video.

many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.
sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.
those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

the society does not want anyone talking about anything negative. At an elders school we were told not to respond to any accusations made against us in the press. The idea is if no one is talking it will be forgotten.
also some in the congregations are fearful of saying anything in case they are labeled as doubters and therefore spiritually weak.
Don't worry I have a still in elderly relative and I have said to them why don't you ask the elders about the Royal Commission. Their reply "your got to be kidding"!
"I found it amusing that my sis would come to me to inquire about the happenings of her religion."
maybe she does not want to visit apostate sites. and feels safe talking to you.. I think that is a positive.
