My, sometimes caustic comments, in red. Transcript of Video News Release J. R. Brown, Grade 2 graduate Organizational Spokesman for Jehovah's Witnesses Pickins is slim these days. Philip Brumley, General Counsel for Jehovah's Witnesses Greasy lawyer that couldn't make a go of it in the real world. Jehovah's Witnesses' Response to Inquiries not to mention a few thousand charges and court cases on Child Abuse Damage control by mind controllers Mr. Brown: Child abuse is an evil. It's an evil of our time; it's an evil in our society. We are getting caught ,so lets all dance And so we abhor it. Lets all dance really fast to really loud music. The Bible says you should "hate what is bad" but we don't give a rat's batter sack what the bible says unless it supports what the watchwanker society says and that certainly would include child abuse. Really really loud music and lots of scotch. We have a number of initiatives we've taken to make sure children are protected. And one is to make sure parents are educated.Name another one dumbass. And over the past 10 to 15 years, we've published numerous articles and other materials lists of safe diddler web sites, especially for the elders, telling them what needs to be done to help those who have been victimized in this way. The 11th commandment...thou shall not get caught, not that any of the first ten mean anything. Mr. Brumley:Grease-ball Our top priority next to increasing our revenues by 90% this first quarter is to protect the victims.(meaning the reputation (haha) of the watchmefondleachild society) And we want to make sure that whatever steps need to be taken are taken,once again, dipstick, name one both by the elders, by the relatives,shut up or be df'd with the coveted A tag before your next meal and by the congregation in general. Our second priority has to do with the perpetrators.history has proven them to be one and the same We are concerned about their receiving the help they need.No publicity, it kills donations and baptisms of 9 year olds (that can't rat out the elders for playing "lick my Lolli-Pop") Our third priority is to see to it that secular authorities are indeed informed of the accusation.If someone had a gun (I mean the real boom boom kind) in your mouth, would alerting the police be your third priority? Mr. Brown: We have no objection to the laws of the land as long as those bad bad government people don't make us pay taxes that come into play to be enforced on whatever has taken place there. Crime is crime. And we recognize there are penalties for crimes committed. Really??!!?? Say like defrauding millions of people out of their lives, careers, families and sanity? When we speak of child abuse, we have to look at (the watchwanker) society as a whole. This has become a burning (std pun inserted) issue in the last 20 or 30 years. Thats funny, it was 10 to 15 a few paragraphs ago. Or were you referring to the amount of jail time you bastards should get?.And so (the) society in general has been, more or less, More, from where I stand plagued with this problem.But you (the wt society) have always said that 'you were diferent and not part of "society in general". And all sorts of organizations and agencies are grappling with how to best handle this. Ok, and...........................???????
i bet most people did not.
i think nearly everyone counted time spent on breaks.
or sitting in the car for an hour and a half while the elders did a "shepherding" call.
YES...every nut-crushing second of it.
NOT!!!!!
have there always been marriage ceremonies to legalise marriage?
don't remember any really early accounts of this.
also how about today?
I would have to say that "jehovah's" view on marriage, I do not know. The watchtower's view, on the other hand, varies by day, year, political climate, or the position of the sun in relation to where I parked my car last Thursday.
I jest, but then I provide you with this...
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/115449/1.ashx
I know that in Canada, where I am originally from, co-habitation without the benefit of a marriage contract and ceremony would be grounds for disfellowshipping. However, here in the Philippines the opposite seems to hold true. Even to the point of a Supreme Court ruling on the matter.
If you have had the chance to read Ray Franz's Crisis of Conscience, you would see a similar, albeit diferrent case, with regards to alternate military service in both Malawi and Mexico, and the many that suffered torture and death because of a waivering stance by the governing body.
I sincerely hope this helps.

my uncle ocasionally complains about how my aunt loves her adult children more than him because she's always thinking about them, worrying about them and reaching out to them.
i think that's a surprising viewpoint because i thought that most mothers (and many fathers) love their children above all others.. do you think that's true?
should a parent love their children more than the spouse (or significant other)?
Kids all the way. I love my wife very much, but our children are part of us, and I know my wife feels the same.
That is a good thing.

when we arrived, there were a bunch of jw's in the back yard(50 to 100) and the music was pumping loud(not that i minded{smile}).
Wow. Hotter than a priest in a playground!
