  the new zealand branch of the jehovah’s witnesses is going to court in an attempt to have the church made exempt from the abuse in care inquiry today.. in the high court at wellington, lawyers for the church are seeking a declaration that the church is not responsible for the care of children or vulnerable people in new zealand.. abuse survivor advocate and former church elder shayne mechen said the church was trying to use a technicality to side-step its inclusion in the inquiry.. .

  Im sure there will be a Disclaimer saying that we are now allowed to share these links, that you can only request the online access links from the elders for your personal use only.

  Boner? Sounds like that word has a different meaning in other parts of the world. 🤭

  Threats in field service?

  in reading about the 54 year old man being shot, i was wondering if any of you were ever shot at, or threatened with a gun.. i was in a car group where a woman came out waving around, telling us to get off her land.

  in another situation a man told the car group to turn and leave or he was calling the cops.

  This would have been in the mid 1990s. Went to a door, 2 young boys about 10 years old answered the door, we asked to speak to their parent's, they said they weren't home, then one boy told the other, go get the gun, he disappeared into the house, and we decided it was time to walk away too.

  Can a Church Lie Intentionally? Yes.

  a very recent case i mentioned briefly in another thread might be of interest to many here.

  a mormon found through the internet that her church leadership had deliberately misled members regarding the origin of the book of mormon and engaged in historical revisioning.

  she sued for damages for the lifelong tithing she had been deceived into giving.

  How many JWs today know that the official WT teachings prior to 1928, had the last days beginning in 1799, and that the heavenly kingdom was established heaven in 1874 and Christ was given rulership of that kingdom in 1878? Very few, if any, they now associate all those events to have taken place in 1914 and that they always knew that in the years leading up to 1914.

  it’s all in person and only fully vaxed can go

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  2023 will see a big push to get rank and file back to in person meetings and ministry.

  they have opened a can of worms with zoom but what they really want is only in extreme illnesses cases can someone use zoom .

  the only problem is they want everyone fully vaccinated which means if you didn’t go for your latest booster in the last several months then you are no longer fully vaccinated and just the same as someone who never accepted any shots right from the start.

  C of E Abuse Report. Contrast with JW org !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  note this report covers cases going back to 1949, they uncovered 400. if j.w's in the u.k did a similar, thorough trawl of all congregation records going back that far, let's pretend they haven't destroyed most of them, we know they have, but just pretend they are all available, how many cases of abuse would they uncover ?

  in a much smaller org ?.

  maybe the file destruction that has gone on was to protect the org.

  I was tempted into Google to see what C & E meant, it means Church of England. Didnt read any more because its bound to be apostate lies.

  There will be a good reason why the top picture is wrong, but the bottom one is fine to do....
