he admitted openly to me the the FDS of Jehovahs Witnesses DO NOT get any information from God at all.
Had similar told to me this past week - I questioned the WT changes over the years, and was informed that it's only men's ''ideas''. When I reminded the JW visitor that Knorr and Franz swore on Oath that Jehovah was the editor of the Watchtower, his answer was, ''when people swear in Court, they BELIEVE what they are saying is true, it doesn't mean that it is''.
A ''good'' JW is one that can think fast on his/her feet.
i was on the massachusetts dss website looking at adoption information for a friend and i started clicking other places and found their definition of mandated reporters of child abuse.physicians, medical interns, hospital personnel engaged in the examination, care or treatment of persons, medical examiners; psychologists, emergency medical technicians, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, podiatrists, optometrists, osteopaths; public or private schoolteachers, educational administrators, guidance or family counselors; office of child care services licensors; day care and child care workers, including any person paid to care for, or work with, a child in any public or private facility, or home or program funded or licensed by the commonwealth, which provides day care or residential services.
this includes child care resource and referral agencies, as well as voucher management agencies, family day care and child care food programs; social workers, foster parents, probation officers, clerks magistrate of the district courts, and parole officers; firefighters or police officers; school attendance officers, allied mental health and licensed human services professionals; psychiatrists, and clinical social workers, drug and alcoholism counselors; and priests, rabbis, clergy members, ordained or licensed ministers, leaders of any church or religious body, accredited christian science practitioners, or a person employed by a church or religious body to supervise, educate, teach, train or counsel a child on a regular basis.. so according to this.......since all members of jehovahs witnesses are supposed to train children - i mean isn't that why they go to bible study, theocratic ministry school etc.....shouldn't every witness be mandated to report child abuse?.
i know this is probably been talked about to death but it was interesting to me..
Thanks Blondie - I think you must be right - it doesn't look like what I saw yesterday - but I was doing a search for 'witnesses' on the CDROM, and I reckon what I must have been reading was an article from a WT expanding on this Scripture.
