  Tutor says sex assaults are sacred ritual

  by Big Tex in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  you know, i've said before that pedophiles are insane.

  i truly believe that they see nothing wrong at all in raping children.

  i've read accounts where pedophiles say that boys are "naturally hedonistic".

  The most critical question about the JW and pedophilia?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  when looking at the jw pedophilia problem it is important to make the distinction between "theocratic" and secular authorities.

  as we all know, the jw consider only their authority to be legitimate and secular authorities as a necessary evil to be "rendered unto".. here is my summary of the pedophilia problem in the organization:.

  1. a person accused of pedophilia by a child cannot be found guilty within the org without another witness.. .

  i've posted a few times on this site but really just like to read the posts.. i wanted to know if anyone can tell me about a book for teens that the dubs have.

  my mother gave it to my 13 year old son and i'm really angry.

  i have made it very clear i want nothing to do with those people and do not want my children exposed to it.

  What outward signs of apostacy are evident in your house?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if the elders came and inspected your home - what would they find?.

  a casual look around reveals a box of "narnia" tissues on my desk, 12 or 14 non-witness translations of bibles on my shelves, many non approved novels [wifey's] on the reading table, plenty of 'apostate literature', a book or two on meditation, a hypnosis cd for weight loss, prob many toys that are not witness approved in the g-kids room, a half eaten birthday cake, a birthday balloon, xmas wrapping paper in the closet , a couple of r rated movies, music that is not acceptable.. that is just at first blush.

  how is your house?

  Proverbs 8:22

  by Ade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i would like to know if there are trinitarians here and please could you share with me your thoughts on proverbs 8:22 - 36

  where it appears to be teaching of jesus being bought forth by yahweh, as the beginning of his way (however not the begging for god has none ).

  alternately non trinitarians put your views forward.

  JEHOVAH'S NAME IN NEW TESTAMENT

  by dobbie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi i've noticed in one of the posts that the jw bible put gods name into the new testament,and that it shouldn't be there.

  i admit that i'm not the brightest pebble on the beach, but when i was studying they told me that the name jehovah was restored to where it was originally and that the nwt was the most accurately translated bible around.

  just wondering how they have got away with doing that if they have blatantly inserted it where it bible scholars would immediately see it shouldn't be?also is there any such thing as the most accurate bible translation cos i'd like to try reading it my myself(without the aid of watchtower publications), but don't know now if i can trust nwt or not.

  The meaning of the word "version"

  by elatwra in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a question.

  i was recently talking to some jw acquaintances and was told that the king james version, niv all the other translations i was mentioning are just "versions " of the bible whereas the nwt is a translation.

  i was stunned and could not come back with an inteligent and scholarly reply(well aint that the pot calling the kettle black did not sound neither inteligent nor scholarly).
