hot topic on topix seems to be candace conti settlement.
but it's all quiet here.
are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?
"Your hero".
You mean the victim of a heinous crime is being grossly under compensated for the physical, emotional, and spiritual damage done to a young child leaving indelible scars?
But guess what, you say she had no effect, however you're talking about it...

Hold Me, Thrill Me,
We're not just talking about a few animals dying of natural causes here. How many animals were supposedly sacrificed on a daily basis, for over 2 million people, over a 40 year period? Millions? More?
Just the daily lamb slaughter by the priest would have amounted to over 40,000 lambs slaughtered.
This doesn't include sin offering. How often did 2 million + people make individual sin offerings? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Say 500,000 are children. That's 1.5 million people making a sin offering at least once a month. 16 million animals varying from bulls to pigeons killed yearly.
This doesn't include voluntary offerings.
Seems like a lot of animals to dispose of in such a dry climate with nothing to show for it.

You can't really call them nomads when it was supposedly 2 million people, continuing to have children and grow in population every year, moving around in a fixed area over 40 years.
Look at what happened at the original woodstock after just a few days.
40 years and not a single trace? How many animals did they supposedly sacrifice on a daily basis? Where are those remains? How many people died in that time frame? Where are their remains? How much trash do 2 million + people produce on a daily basis? Not a single trace? No broken pottery? Not a single speck of evidence they were ever there?
dear members,.
i am an investigative journalist with the australian public broadcaster, the abc.
we are currently gathering information from members of the jehovah's witnesses who experienced sexual abuse as children and adolescents in australia.
There are several Australian users at the ex JW subreddit (link).
are there any changes to the new procedure?
it seems to me that the co doesn't ask the candidate questions any longer.
they just decide who they will appoint and announce it at the next weekly meeting.
we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.
i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!
i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?
You my friend, are a rock star. I hope one day I have the courage to do the same thing!
Awesome! This made my day.
i can understand why someone who was born of jovie parents would want to leave jovie world.
i can see why someone who had joined jovie world would want to leave.
after all, why would you want to stay in such an evil institution?.
since the wt organization claims 'apostolic succession " who was it that passed the torch to c.t.
russell who founded this organization of sheeple?
ask judge rutherford, or milton henschel, maybe they know.
..that the governing body are only in it for money and power?.
how many of you think the gb are all/some are sincere?.
okay, i know this has been asked before but i can't find the thread and there are newbies here.....and i like the sound of my own voice.
They may not make a personal paycheck, but they are no doubt lavished with gifts, large sums of cash, fine dining, and never have to lift a finger.
I mean, if a circuit overseer rakes in a decent amount of cash via green handshakes, what do people hand the GB members?
They never have to pay a single penny for anything in their lives. They're always with at least one sycophant who will step on their grandmother to say "no brother, let me buy that for you."
Edit: So I'd say money is definitely a factor. Plus worship and adoration. Pretty awesome gig. All you have to do is become a sociopath.
i don't know if i have shared this with everyone, but there seems to be a new theocratic term, at least in my circuit.. the term is "final push.
" wtf does it mean?
well, an eldub said that the gb are "all in" with warwick and they might spend all their money on the project.
