Consider the "outcome" when elders apply the two-witness "rule"
by AndersonsInfo injehovahs witnesses two-witness rule is applied by elders when a witness member accuses another member of a sin, even if that sin is a criminal act.
if there arent two witnesses to the accusation, it goes nowhere, including not being reported to the authorities.
and in the case of an allegation of child abuse, the accused is free to molest again.. watchtower attorney, jim mccabe, recently stated this about jehovahs witnesses two-witness rule which he described as a bible-based belief :.

Pope says Big bang and Evolution are correct !
by Phizzy infrom the u.k independent newspaper :.
" the theories of evolution and the big bang are real and god is not a magician with a magic wand, pope francis has declared.. speaking at the pontifical academy of sciences, the pope made comments which experts said put an end to the pseudo theories of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, benedict xvi.. francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator arguing instead that they require it.. when we read about creation in genesis, we run the risk of imagining god was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.
but that is not so, francis said.. he added: he created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.. the big bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.. evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.. the catholic church has long had a reputation for being anti-science most famously when galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his heretic theory that the earth revolved around the sun.. but pope franciss comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of pope pius xii, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the big bang theory.

This should be the uniform for the entire GOVERNING BODY, Writing Department and Service Department. Maybe if they look at each other long enough they will learn to stop pontificating on their ridiculous religious ideas and begin to treat 'the flock' as real human beings with needs,wants and desires unique to individuals. The Rank and File NEVER made up the BULLSHIT surrounding 1975! The only ones that should take the blame and responsibility are the creators of this ludicrous idea.

Excellent quotes DesirousOf Change! It was great to see them presented in chronological order. You just showed how a 'Watchtower jerk job and mind fuck' is created and then dismantled all within the short span of 13 years.

If you are under a 'spell' you are not 'in love'. Rather you are 'in thrall'. Two completely different states of mind.

Jehovanomics RULE #4: Printing and Selling Marketing Materials To The Members
by Jehovanomics inthe number one consumer and purchaser of printed marketing materials by the jehovah witnesses are the members.
steady cash flow is obtained from consistent and steady sales of printed materials and marketing fixtures to the members.
free labor further improves the margins and cash flow as no payroll taxes are paid due to preferred irs tax status.. .

I don't understand the psyche of JW
by bobld inthe majority have good jobs,drive newer vehicles,have nice homes,go on vacations.all in all they have the smarts.. however,rwhen it comes to their religion,they are dummer than a sack of hammers.they drive around in circles to get two hours of service time.they can't differentiate what the fds/gb say is from jehovah god,when in reality it is the stuff that comes out of a horses ass.what the horse eats(as it were food at the proper time from the gb) comes out of the horse as manure(shit sounds better) as a loving provision from jehovah.. .
