in providing damning evidence of a massive cover-up of criminal activities by its members, channel nine has called for an "official investigation into the wts".
a judge of the supreme court has also expressed "i am surprised that the police have not taken action against the church authorities.
i hope they will do so.
When seeking help for trauma, she was advised not to consult psychiatrists or psychologists because they're "worldly" and "possibly satanic
There are no words for a religious organization that's concern is foremost with its public image while the emotional well-being and safety of its members consistently takes a back-seat.
Thank You Ozzie !

I agree, that's very encouraging Pistoff ! I've shared information regarding the Watchtower Society with only one person that came to the conclusion that the WTS is pulling some fast moves. And she wasn't baptized yet.
hello my name is nick amoroso son of thomas charlas amoroso and sherrie amoroso.
i recieved news of my fathers untimely death thursday sept. 19. i am not sure who reads these forums but if you are from the northwest of the u.s. and have been in the truth for a conciderable amount of time you will know my father.
for those of you that do not know him i feel obligated to tell you his story.
Nick,
it's tragic when one that is not so very old finds so much sadness in the world. and its heartbreaking that you and your brother lost your dad at such at a young age. Hopefully you'll be able to hang on to some of the warm memories when your lives were easier. and remember that a part of him always remains within you.
warmest thoughts,
christina
"the u.s. census bureau reports: "the number of single mothers increased between 1970 and 2000, from 3 million to 10 million; over the same time frame, the number of single fathers increased also, from 393,000 to 2 million.
" the october 8 issue of awake!
with the cover series, "single-parent families can succeed" will be offered without cost in communities country-wide in order to fortify one-parent households for the challenges they contend with.".
The Watchtower admonished building respect in the family "because strong families constitute a solid foundation for a united society
yes, and just how does the Watchtower suggest building "respect in the family? By suggesting to its members that it is acceptable behavior to inform an elderly grandfather not to attend the wedding of his firstborn grandson because he has been disfellowshipped for daring to question the Almighty Watchtower Society.
WTS supporting "single parenthood?" ........oh sure, you can have a kid while you're single, as long as you don't have sex while you're single........or become single for any other reason than death or adultery........your husband beats you or is an "alleged" child molester ? tough luck sweetums, no single parenthood for you.........................
below are notes of the sunday post drama talk - taken very badly by someone who cannot do shorthand
sorry - best i could do - note the anti media comments at the end.
jim dee notes on the talk - be like jeremiah, fearlessly proclaim the word of jehovah.

Of course it matters. Whatever endeavor one undertakes in life, it is best to do so with the best picture of reality possible
unfortunately, the JWs' reality is much different than our own....and it is the JWs that will ultimately decide how, and if, the WTS will go down. Therefore it doesn't matter what we think of the actions of the WTS, it's what the JWs think and do regarding the WTS's actions.

rcvd this in email....my brother forwarded it to me.
does anyone have the 1990 awake bound volumes....can you check pls.. i smell library cards.... did you know that israelis operated an "orphanage" in guatemala.
exlusively.
the thought of this sickens me. The moronic WTS, with its backseat, nonsensical, bullshit can "wait on Jehovah." Little lives shouldn't have too.
edited to add: thanks Lisa for posting this, and thanks S.S. for the links.....so many things in the world just make the WTS seem a little speck of shit in the universe.......

you apostates ROCK, BAAAAAY-BEEE !!!!!!
in january of this year, a prominent elder resigned because he was criticized for continuing to talk to an inactive couple, who had been very close friends.
this couple are being gossiped about, as being apostates, although no action has been taken, and no announcement.
he didn't like the scrutiny on himself and his wife, and thought they were wrong to talk to him about this issue, so he resigned.
Only the whack-jobs that make up these half-assed regulations, pedophiles, and those who protect them will be left on the inside. And then I will be free to hate them all...hahaha!
my sentiments exactly ! and I can't bring myself to say "it's a shame that the WTS is so ignorant," because the fact is I'm glad that the WTS is stupid enough to sacrifice the good but dangerous ones ! Then maybe the decent will escape the nut factory !
