Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?
by AlainAlam indo you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?
as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

they are masters at tweaking reality so that it fits their own narrative.
The boiling frog is a fable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of sinister threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly.

Cover-up allegations[edit]
In some cases, members of Jehovah's Witnesses have been prevented or deterred from reporting child molestation to civil authorities.[55][56] Particularly since around 2000, the Jehovah's Witnesses organization has been accused of covering up cases of child molestation committed by its members. In February 2001, Christianity Today printed an article reporting allegations that Jehovah's Witnesses' policies made reporting sexual abuse difficult for members, and did not conform to typical treatment of such cases. The article also included a response by representatives of Jehovah's Witnesses.[57] The Australian Royal Commission heard that an elder discouraged an abuse victim from going to the police by saying, "Do you really want to drag Jehovah's name through the mud?"[9] In Ireland in 2016, two Jehovah's Witness elders were removed from their positions as punishment for reporting a child molester to the police after the London Branch legal department told them not to.[58]
The BBC reported allegations of a cover-up in July 2002, in an episode of Panorama entitled "Suffer the Little Children".[59] The report revealed that the headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Watch Tower Society, requires all congregations to submit details of child abuse allegations and maintains an internal database on all cases of child abuse reported to them.[14] It described one case where a child came forward to the elders of her congregation to report sexual abuse by her father, but was sent home, despite their having known for three years that her father was an abuser. When the girl eventually went to the police, her father was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.[59]
According to Witness spokesman J. R. Brown, Jehovah's Witnesses are not required to report crimes to elders before calling civil authorities. Victims and their families are free to call police, he said, although some don't choose to.[17] The Watch Tower Society maintains a policy with no explicit requirement for elders to report all child abuse cases where such is not required by law. Elders are instructed to "leave matters in Jehovah's hands" if an abuser denies the accusations and there is no second witness available.[55][57]

Simon...When I was around 10 years old, my friends and I would play baseball with our friend Billy. Billy had parents who bought him a catchers mitt, first baseman's mitt, outfield and infield mitt, bat, ball and catchers gear.
Most of us would use his equipment to play baseball because our parents wouldn't buy us any equipment. If it wasn't for Billy there would be no baseball game.
We would be in the middle of a game and see Billy's mom walk over to the baseball field and tell Billy that he needed to come home and eat lunch. Billy would take the bat, ball, and all of his equipment and go home to eat lunch. The baseball game was over.
Since you control the board, everyone should play by your rules. Just like good parents know when it's time to stop all the fighting and commotion in the house, you have every right step in and control the situation.

I'm having a craving for dry crackers and wine
by rebel8 ini'm also in the mood for dressing up in a modest, uncomfortable skirt, half slip and pantyhose underneath.
no knees showing, of course!
i want some shoes to go with it that pinch and cause bunions.. i thought i'd pair it with a button down shirt, buttoned down to the level that covers all cleavage, then 1 more button closed so the bros aren't tempted into having accidental sex interviews with me right on the spot.

Unfortunately, the store's out of all of these things. What should I do?
Dear Sister rebel8,
Here in Mumbai, the local Jehovah's Witness brothers have taken the 1 single whole-grain cracker on a silver plate a little too far. Since the stores are out of flour and low-grade wine, they have come up with a new idea. It will be no problem with the local brothers, but the sisters are resisting this new Memorial change.
Greetings and Christain love,

Deuteronomy 8:4 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
4 These past 40 years, your clothes did not wear out, and your feet did not swell.
Really? Forty years in sand, dust, sand caked grounds, and their feet did not swell and their sandals didn't need repair?
I work outdoors and walk all day long. Every 2 months I need a new pair of shoes because of aches and pains.
Why can't a shoemaker in today's times figure out how to make shoes last forty years like in Biblical times?

So did the animals eat manna as well? Hmmm. Pretty hard to graze in the desert
Somewhere and somehow there is an answer for every Bible question:
From this, we see that the wilderness, although translated as ‘desert’, is not a sandy desert but rather uninhabited land containing pastures suitable for feeding animals; providing that they are moved from place to place. As God was leading Israel in the wilderness we may be confident that he would lead them to places suitable for feeding cattle.

When you take off your rose-colored glasses ( yee of little faith), you will see how these silly Bible stories just don't make any sense. If the Israelites had enough wisdom to make a trip out of Egypt, why would they wander in the desert for 40 years while they had the same wisdom to get out of the desert? Here is a silly answer from gotquestions.org
Question: "Why did the Israelites need manna if they had flocks/herds of animals that they could eat?"
Answer: In Exodus 9:1–7, the Bible tells us that the children of Israel had cattle or livestock while living as slaves in Egypt. And in Exodus 12:30–31, Pharaoh tells Moses to get out of Egypt after the final plague had been placed on Egypt and all their firstborn sons had died. Pharaoh even went so far as to tell the Israelites to take all that they had, including their flocks and their herds, possibly getting every trace of them out of Egypt. Yet as they wander in the wilderness, they complain and moan about not having enough to eat, and God deals with them with tremendous grace by providing manna (Exodus 16:1–5). Why, though, did they describe themselves as “starving” when they had flocks and herds of animals?
The fact is that the Bible doesn’t explain why they did not—or could not—eat the animals from their flocks. For the sake of the argument we will ponder some possible answers even though Scripture is silent on the issue. First, it’s possible that Israel had too much of the Egyptian ways in them, having been in captivity there for over 400 years. Egypt had a system in effect wherein they worshiped many animals, cattle among them. Soon after the exodus from Egypt, the children of Israel even worshiped a golden calf, fashioned by Aaron in the absence of Moses (Exodus 32:1–4). It’s possible they were so steeped in Egyptian ways that they couldn’t bring themselves to eat animals they worshiped.
Second, did they see their livestock as their source of income? They were shepherds, and they came from shepherds. No one would want to eat his source of income. Perhaps they were preserving their flocks and herds for when they came into the Promised Land and would once again be shepherds and herdsmen. If they ate up the source of all their income, they would be paupers and beggars in their new country. A third possibility is that they were just whining because they were tired of eating the same old thing all the time. Perhaps they just wanted some variety in their diet.
Whatever the reason, the point is that it wasn’t meat that the Israelites lacked; it was faith. They wanted to go back to Egypt where they were “fed” (Numbers 11:4–6). Even though they had been slaves in Egypt, they wanted to go back so they would not have to worry about where their next meal came from. Another point is that they should have made the trip in 10 days (and they probably had that much food) but it took 40 years because of their rebellion and disobedience (Numbers 14:26–35). Nothing would please or satisfy the grumbling Israelites, not meat for a whole month, not all the flocks and herds or all the fish in the sea.
Although God is silent as to why this happened, the lesson we learn from it is that God is faithful and supplies our needs, whatever they are, and it is not always what we want or think that we need. But He knows our greatest needs, and He knows what will sustain us and keep us safe. A case in point is the fact that the clothes and shoes of the Israelites did not wear out in the 40 years of desert wandering because God saw to it (Deuteronomy 8:4; Nehemiah 9:21). The manna stayed fresh so long as the people gathered it up according to His instructions, and water came out of a rock for them (Numbers 20:11). In the same way, God has promised to supply all our needs through His riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We are not to worry about food because God knows what we need before we ask. Rather, we are to seek God and His kingdom, putting Him first and trusting in His faithfulness to provide what we need (Matthew 6:33; Luke 12:22–31). -
