  wouldn't that be something if you heard the witnesses saying that?

  Well, 'if' the Pope is shaken and weakened at the Catholic church policy in the past protecting their pedophile priests, then he would be a better guy than the GB, as they don't seem to be shaken, weakened, ashamed at the WTS policy about their pedophiles at all.

  Whether you write one sentence or a thousand, the outcome will be quick and the same result. They (elders, service department, GB) will take nothing to heart. There is no justification to them about it, and you will leave with no respect, or honor from them.

  They are 'waiting' on more Brooklyn properties to be sold and more donations from R&F. That is how their god tells them anything.

  Such a curious thing now. Then, they have a couple weeks, to "throw in the towel?" or go back in for the 'long haul' fight? Intriguing!

  i have heard it all now, or at least up to now, the borg never ceases to surprise me.

  so when jesus was talking to his deciple from the cross (opps stake), "this is your mother" or something like that, was he talking about the borg?

  lol.

  That didn't feel comfortable to me ever,,we were never to call any man "Father" (other than bio father/dad). how would it make sense to call any small group of men "mother" either. Crazy/weird.

  Weird rumor I heard - JWs in Sweden

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard this from a "friend of a friend of a friend...." at least 3 or 4 intermediate steps before i heard it.. so it is likely distorted, but i'll throw it out there in case someone in or near sweden can clarify it.. .

  i heard that the wts branch in sweden instructed all jws there to "get rid of" all (empahasized all) of their printed literature, and rely exclusively on the content of jw.org for their literature.. .

  that's the entire extent of it - i also got a few speculations about "what it might mean" (the society is expecting persecution!

  The "persecution" card helps to motivate the paranoid JWs to do anything and everything the WTS wants done.

  each and every organization that deals with children should have its president, board, and all employees watch this film, and then read this column so that they can identify the players, the machinations, and the mistakes that institutions make when it comes to children and pedophiles.

  december 3, 2012 marci a. hamilton.

  a review of the documentary mea maxima culpa: silence in the house of god, which reveals the paradigm of institution-based child sex abuse.

  Orangeburg Assembly Hall - designed to be sold as a future supermarket?

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've just been watching a youtube video that reveals the new assembly hall in orangeburg, sc.. two things struck me when watching it.... firstly, everything is attributed to jehovah, right down to deciding the location where the hall is to be built.

  "we examined over 300 properties," said one interviewee, "we were reminded that jehovah knew where the site was, we just had to keep looking and show him that we were persistent.

  " other workers interviewed throughout the video attribute everything to god, as though it is impossible to build anything without divine direction.. here is the video.... .

  Another rumor about changes in Watchtower and Awake

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's only a rumor.

  but we all know that sometimes rumors become a reality.. supposedly the public watchtower and awake magazines will be combined together and the two shall become one.. i wonder if the present 16 page "rags" are becoming an embarrassment.

  they truly are rags of the lowest quality..

  just the Awake, at the most, for door to door, or laudramats is sufficient to waste. Public Watchtower total waste, nobody reads that.
