Clarification about two witness rule please .

by jhine in

i was talking to a witness the other day , she was explaining about false religion, and the subject of paedophiles came up .

of course she was adamant that the watchtower deals swiftly and decisively with offenders .

i was about to ask if she was aware of the two witness rule and how that is a let off for child molesters when l remembered reading on here that now they accept two different accusations from two different victims .

LisaRose,

I totally get it. I also get how women and children are treated as second class citizens in the KH. I have been here for a little over a year now. I asked a question one day why in the world does it take so many Elders for a congregation of 90 to 120. When you put women down continually, never give them any power, Herd telling them their brains are smaller -- OH yeah you are going to have a bunch of "Drama queens" as someone on this forum likes calling all of us women who speaks up.

I was just a very rebellious kid starting at about 14 and all the gay men that hung out at my mother's house recognized that in me so when I see something wrong I fight. At that point I made it perfectly clear to my mother she was no longer going to beat me up or I would beat the crap out of her.

And not knowing the JW rules because he never told me the rules, he sent me a good bye have a nice life email. I sent him an email in return threatening him if he did not explain himself. Men do not scare me, actually not much of anything scares me. I make sure my battles are legal and I take them down.

Sailaway,

Messes up her beautiful curls. I love it. They all have their own little habits that we just love.

At Christmas one year I put a ring with bells on it on the inside of the door knob. This same dog decided instead of barking to go out she would ring the bells. So when Christmas was over this item had to stay.

Possum,

I have no clue how you could remain silent. Never a JW, I was not sexual abused but suffered from both physical and emotional abuse from my mother. I now protect ALL children I come in contact with from all forms of abuse and have no problems contacting authorities.

I assisted my girlfriend in putting her husband behind bars, he took a plea so he only got 15 years, he was looking at life.

When I finally found out what the JWS was all about I was beyond belief. Read my intro to the forum you might find it interesting. If I come across a MS, Special Pioneer, OH Elder they get an ear full. Go back and read my previous post.

They don't escape this Rebel or Fighter very easily.

Possum,

Never a JW, you did absolutely the right thing!

When you first reported the incident when it happened was the appropriate time for these men appointed by Satin to take action.

Looks like they are "waiting on Jehovah" to clean up this mess they done got themselves into with all these governments and court cases. IMHO, that maybe a mighty long time.

Sailaway,

It was pontoon with an electric motor never went over 10 mph as it turned out she did not even like puddles of water. She did not like bathes. She did not like the rain. Plain and simple she did like anything wet. But she was a sweetheart.

by neat blue dog in

earlier this year it was announced to all congregations that the new silver songbook would ultimately be made of 150 songs, (matching the number of psalms in the bible).

however, they've apparently changed there minds in the last few months, because songs 152-154 were just posted to both jw-org and jw broadcasting.. https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/.

https://tv.jw.org.

Never a JW. They need some serious HELP!! Are all their songs written in the same put me to sleep.... and WOW those lyrics.

How about, sorry I have no clue how to link things.

Josh Groban You Lift Me Up

Amazing Grace (yes someone needs to explain why that is taboo to the Witnesses )

Nearer My God to Thee ( I know but I hold the cross very near dear to me and this song has a very special meaning. Tears flow all the time )

Old Rugged Cross

Precious Moments

Footprints in the Sand

I left religion in 2000 (Lutheran) I worship every Sunday for 4 hours listening to the sounds of beautiful voices singing praises to God. When I get the chance I will go to the east coast and watch the sunrise during this time and there is no greater uplifting experience.

Now if there were a good tech savy person that could somehow replace one of those horrid videos with this at one of the conventions.

Just jam the frequency and let it run! Just saying.

We always had big dogs and had just lost one. I told my kids please let's get a smaller dog this time please. We went this puppy so attached itself to my kids and my son says see mom she is so small mom. Do you see the size of those paws?!?! That will not be a small dog! But mom she is small and soooo cute. She only weighs 25 lbs. She was a blonde lab mix, one of the nicest sweetest dogs we ever owned. She grew up to be 115 lbs. Now labs are supposed to like water. We lived on a lake and had a boat. The first time we took her out on the boat she could not wait to get back to shore. When we got close enough to shore she took a flying leap landed on shore took off running to the deck and sat at the sliding glass door. From that point on she would never leave the deck in the back. If she had to go out for a walk you had to go out the front door and she would not venture near the rear of the property near that lake.

Zeb,

I am sure that was one of the lines which earned me the email "Good bye, have a nice life" from the "Elder".
