  Well, I doubt it found its way on to You Tube via a (practicing) JW - not the sort of thing they'd want 'Worldlies' to see.

  ...and if the JW hadn't protested so much in support of the Org, Penn's tweet would probably have been overlooked, lol.

"suppose that a doctor told you to avoid contact with someone who is infected with a contagious, deadly disease," part of the article stated.. "you would know what the doctor means, and you would strictly heed his warning.

  well, apostates are 'mentally diseased', and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings.".

  What was the outcome of this..? Lol, they appear (at least to me) to put themselves on a par with doctors (professionals).

  My mother (a jw) bought my daughter Harry Potter socks once.

  Lol, did she realise...? I bought my son a Harry Potter magic wand, and you'll never guess - it didn't work.

  Very sad donny, I am so sorry. I wonder what is in these letters from the Society, and what has triggered it.

  Emailing my sister RE: Child abuse conviction - NEED HELP!!

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  so the other night, my family was together and my dad brought up the recent child abuse conviction for the society.

  big surprise, my sister hadn't heard anything about it, so of course she got right on to the jw.org website and emailed me the link to the watchtowers official statement.

  this is my reply:.

  Don't you just feel like banging your head against a wall? (actually that would be less painful, lol). JWs are constantly on the defence regarding the Org.

  Flipper Jr. & Flipper Sr. Leave Child Abuse News Releases at Kingdom Halls

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  of course everyone knows about the news of the candace conti child abuse case which has gone viral , ( one would have to live in a cave, under a rock, or another planet not to know about it ).

  that being said - it may very well be that those jehovah's witnesses who do not use the internet, or read newspapers, or in simple english are neanderthal's, still living in the 19th century or before , out of fear of negative reprisal from wt authorities may have not even heard about this case because they are in the habit of not watching the news or using the internet.. so- with those particular type of people in mind my son flipper jr. & myself decided to print up about 20 copies of the candace conti child abuse lawsuit from the england daily mail issue , here's the link : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160605/candance-conti-molested-jehovahs-witnesses-member-age-nine-wins-28milion.html?ito=feeds-newsxml .. so what we did is since we are doing some out of town jobs in several counties we figured we'd leave these child abuse news releases under jw car windshields at kingdom halls while they are out in field service.

  we left about 15 so far at 3 different kingdom halls under car windshields .

  Brilliant Mr, and Master, Flipper! I'm curious as, being an American (?) you chose the Daily Mail (English) article. As far as I'm aware, it's only been reported in two newspapers here, but I expect it's had loads more coverage in the USA.
