  The Ultimate Solution to the Mishandling of Abuse within the bOrg

  by Wild_Thing in

  i feel like the world needs to wake up and realize that bethel, the home of the governing body in warwick, new york is the "vatican" of the jehovah's witness world.

  their doctrines, edicts, and policies affect every jehovah's witness man, woman, and child around the world.

  i don't feel like the politicians in foreign countries understand this.

  But why educate politicians? Is it because you want governments to outlaw the WT?

  Absolutely not. I am against outlawing any religion. I just want them to change their policies regarding child abuse, education, blood, ........

  If politicians are educated on the structure of the Watchtower leadership, it will help them understand how to best go about effecting change in their own country. And the only way to have a global impact on change within Jehovah's Witnesses anywhere is to put pressure on HQ in America, OR put pressure on the US government to force change.

  If Australia wants change within the Australian Jehovah's Witnesses, it can only come through America. If the Dutch want the Jehovah's Witnesses to change their policies regarding child abuse, ultimately, their fight will have to be taken to New York.
  

  There needs to be a world wide campaign to educate politicians in foreign countries about the structure of Jehovah's Witnesses and their leadership and encourage them to put pressure on Bethel, NY and American politicians.

  If change is forced in America, the effect, of course, will be worldwide.

  No offense, but that link is junk science based on real science. My boss was accused of being racist, and of course the shit rolled downhill to us. To soften the blow, they didn't call it racism, they called it being "unconsciously biased". I guess the distinction they were trying to make is that if you are racist, it is kind of a conscious thing, but someone who is not racist can still be "unconsciously biased" towards another race, and it may come across of being discriminatory.

  Here is the legit test created by Harvard. It is more in depth, but more accurate. Plus, if you take it, you are helping them collect data for their research, which is always good.

  They have other tests for unconscious bias, too, besides race. Scroll down near the bottom to find the one for race. Compare the results with the buzz play one. My guess is the results may be different.

  And don't feel bad about the results. You can't help being unconsciously biased; you can only bring into your consciousness and work on it. You CAN help it if you're a racist.

  Watch Tower History

  we've posted updated and new research on our history blog.

  this is rough draft material for a chapter in vol.

  I don't think Russell and Rutherford can even be compared. Rutherford seems to have had some deep seated mental issues, especially after WWI. When somebody builds (or causes to have built) a fancy mansion for themselves and claims that he's just house sitting until the "princes" arrive, even the most strict Watchtower adherent would question their mental stability. The indication that he seemingly alienated his wife and son is also very telling.

  Russell may have been disillusioned, but Rutherford was a full blown kook.

  This, of course, is not based on hard research.

  Honestly, I don't see how educated people can still buy into the bullshit.

  Jehovah's Witnesses will continue to be most uneducated religious group because the educated ones leave. Once you get those critical thinking juices flowing, it's hard to stop them.

  I couldn't resist posting this song again. With Viv, it sounds like we have another song in the making besides "Joanie the Jehovah's Witness Stripper".

  Congregation Get-Togethers: In or Out?

  by TreadClimberMaster in

  2. beliefs

  i was reading redpill2006's post and i noticed that some mentioned that get-togethers or parties have been largely discouraged.

  i stopped attending meetings in 2003/2004 and i remember my congregation still had get-togethers, although they were few and far between.

  they were not completely discouraged though, has this changed?

  In the early to mid 80s, people in my congregation had a costume skating party. just about everybody went. People from neighboring Kingdom Halls accused them of imitating Halloween parties. I was too young to remember what became of the big brouhaha, but it was the one and only costume party we ever had.

  Sometimes I wonder is Morris is a suppressed homosexual. He seems so obsessed with tight pants, what homosexuals wear, and worrying about men dressing as "metrosexuals".

  "The lady doth protest too much, me thinks."
