Pope Francis condemns child sex abuse and Church cover-ups
by pleaseresearch inthis is good from the pope and really puts a lot of shame on our gb.
i could never see them doing this.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45249109.
pope francis has condemned the "atrocities" of child sex abuse and clerical cover-ups in a letter to the world's 1.2bn roman catholics.. the letter to "the people of god" calls for an end to the "culture of death" in the church, addresses failures to deal with abuse and asks for forgiveness.. last week a grand jury report detailed seven decades of abuse in pennsylvania.. the landmark investigation found more than 1,000 identifiable minors had been abused by 300 priests in the us state.. thousands more are thought to have fallen victim.

I don't like President Trump , Vladimir Putin or Bill and Hillary Clinton one bit. However, Putin was just getting even with the 'Clinton Political Dynasty' by 'meddling' in the US election in 2016 for what Bill Clinton and the United States government did in 'influencing' Russian elections involving Boris Yeltsin over 20 years ago.
Will President trump be impeached? Only time will tell.

How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?
by Sour Grapes ina circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.
many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.
well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

Anything is possible. However, I was Assistant Attendant Overseer back in the 1970's and we never had any instructions to corral or segregate any disfellowshipped persons. And I don't recall ever seeing anything such as an identifying ribbon either.

Was the Marlboro Man ever a Jehovah's Witness?
by sparky1 indarrell winfield, perhaps the most famous marlboro man died in 2015 at the age of 85. he portrayed the marlboro man from 1968-1989. his brother was a long time bethelite named marion "bud" winfield.
many ex-bethelites probably remembered bud as one of the receptionists at the 124 desk.
bud died in the year 2000 at the age of 65. my question is, does anyone know if darrell was raised as a witness and left the religion early in life?

Yes, Bud told me that Darrell was his brother. Interestingly enough, I found an obituary that mentions that all of Darrell's brothers and sisters had pre-deceased him. Bud was named after his father, Marion. Thanks for telling me about the accident. That reminds me of something else that I will P.M. you on.

My question is, Does anyone know if Darrell was raised as a Witness and left the religion early in life? I found an obituary page for him with a condolences section and some of the postings are 'witness like' in nature. It's interesting that he was a lifelong smoker and yet he lived 20 years longer than his 'morally clean' non-smoking brother.

Is Jesus Christ, Jehovah God? (Not the Father, but Equal to the Father)
by JW Answers injehovah's witnesses,is jesus christ, jehovah god?
(not the father, but equal to the father)what if the watchtower told you about god in a false way, and yet the bible taught you about god in his true character, how would you respond?could it be true, that the watchtower have been leading you up the garden path, describing god in a way that the bible does not describe?
please watch my latest video to help you to see how the bible describes the lord jesus christ, and also within my video, i explain from the new world translation how the bible which the jws use, also describes jesus as jehovah god.
