i see many threads that address this issue, but i still don't have a clear thought on this.

so i want your help.. the governing body misleads the members- no doubt.

they do change some of their history to make the wt organization look smarter or better-guided by "jehovah.

Santa Claus

i was thinking about if i should start telling my 2 year old about santa claus.

after realizing that i've been lied to my whole life from all the jw bullcrap should i lie to my child about santa claus?

do you think its ok to say, "be good or santa wont bring you any toys this christmas.

Joshnaz, hello ... I understand what you're thinking (and some of that is how the WT condemns lying to children), BUT there's a BIG difference. IF once your lad reaches 10 or 11 and naturally stops believing (because he can now REASON) and THEN you punish him for not continuing to believe a 'lie', THEN you can compare to the WT. As it is, it's a nice fantasy (or maybe it is real?) which he will enjoy for a short time...

New sex offender in my hall

just found out that there is a sex offender in my hall.

the "brother" that i was with said " the brothers will make sure that he is not put with any kids in service".

wtf !!!!

Lovelylil - Is this guy a child sex offender? If so he cannot go out in service at all because he will come upon homes with children in them and is NOT allowed to be around kids.
Hello there. Do you recall the case of Michael Porter (about two years ago) here in England? It's been well documented on this site. I've tried to find the article which shows him out in service AFTER being given a non-custodial sentence (which was later overturned, I believe) and placed on the sex-offenders' register.

Porter was also banned from any unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18 and put on the Sex Offenders' Register.
"They're backing him and haven't thrown him out. He'll still be in contact with children and visiting houses door to door."

This is exactly what I feared, the Dubs will now say "Oh he wasn't a real Witness,just came along a bit to please his wife"
Sadly Wobble, they ALWAYS use that excuse anyway (in my experience). Once a JW is exposed as doing something bad, they cannot be a REAL Witness by definition, as REAL JWs don't do anything bad.

Yeah, that's what this guy is concerned about -- stressing his surviving victims.
If he pleads guilty he will get a lighter sentence, so it's to everyone's advantage that he pleads guilty IF he is. He has not yet entered a plea, but I imagine he will have to when he reappears at the magistrates court on Thursday.

First, he is entitled to the presumption of innocence
True...but according to reports he did not enter a plea this morning in the Magistrates Court. I hope if he IS guilty, then he will confess thus saving his (elderly) victims the extra stress of a trial.

Just watched this on news (England) and his neighbours are shocked, 'such an unassuming man, devoted to his wife and kids, a Jehovah's Witness'. His oldest victim was 93 according to report.

Ooops, prematurely pressed return...the condition of 'annointed' only exists in the heads of those professing to be. In my opinion, anyone who professes to be hand picked by God to RULE is delusional (or just living in a fantasy world).
