  All of Bethel Know About The Child Molestation Law Suits: And The Governing Body Is Looking Very Bad In Most Bethlites Eyes I'm Willing To Bet

  ok we had the silent lambs march years ago right there at head quarter over this issue, don't you think that caused a lot of gossip, and expose on a big abc network called 20/20, and many in europe, canada, all about how bad the governing body's policies are on children.. now we have out of court settlements with victims with a gag order, conti big case, and many more.

  so i would think everyone at bethel knows about the governing body's mishandleling of these matters.. i'm sure this, a long with the big new light about the governing body alone make of the faithful slave are causing many a lot of irritation and so are seeing these guys now in a different light..

  I was there 5 years, never read a newspaper during that time, didn't even have a tv for a few years there but never watched much and never the news. I was never aware of any such thing as child molestation within the organization back then. I imagine many to most Bethelites now would be about the same.

  just a review please? "Brief Due" ? - is this a 'written' brief or is this an 'oral' presentation? Or could there be just another 'extention' requested?

  Sounded from comments previously like there could just be a (?) "hat dance" between each group like this all through summer?

  Since the WTS lowers the 'bar' to get increases on unsubstantial works anyway , could they, would they, lower the bar to get more baptisms? Like not the 100 questions before baptisms anymore? Like just "Do you love Jehovah?" and "Do you love Jehovah's organization?" Dunk, Dunk! And then just sort through their knowledge, spirituality, indoctrination, control, later?

  Elders Call Off Meetings A Lot More Easily Than They Did Before For Inclement Weather

  the meetings were cancelled in this area with only 2 inches of snow for the "storm''.

  lol.

  a month ago the co had the meeting cancelled because it was a bit tracherous, which i thought was a good call..... years`ago, if we cancelled a meeting it took until one hour before the presiding overseer would finally decide to cancel.. today's jws are wimps..

  The WTS would have to put up a lot of money upfront for this seeming demand for new Bibles, paper, ink, durable cover quality.

  Does the WTS have such funds to put upfront?, then they would have to be concerned about the pubs. actually paying for the value+ asap. Then, their people might not have a clue to how much they should donate and therefore a 'hat dance' or 'guessing game.'

  JW Bombed

  by LouBelle in

  on friday the 1st of march, i went to my cousins 21st birthday celebration - she has never been a jw.

  my other cousins (twins) were introduced by my mother to the faith over 20 years ago (they are now 38) and got baptised when they were about 19. they both weren't that "strong" in the faith and married "worldly partners" and stopped going to meetings.. they knew i had left and i presumed they knew i was disfellowshipped for apostacy.. at the party the one twin came over to me and we chatted about life etc and she says "oh carl is going to start studying" - i looked at her a little odd and asked what it was as he already had a financial degree.

  "no silly, he is going to study the truth" my face must have been a picture and in a very high voiced squeaked why would he ever consider that, he is an intellecutal guy....... she continued about how the people had changed and were so much better than when we were younger.

  I hope that Carl keeps his intellect and has an investigative ability. Can you get him a copy of jwfacts.com pamphlet? email or mail?

  That is a disappointment how your cousin, who didn't stick with all the WT reality all these years, didn't really 'live' it, and now just just envisions some icing on, in reality, WT cow pie.

  The WTS is like a beast looking for 'new blood.' It knows it will die without 'new blood.'

  Thanks blondie. When did they start that "unbaptized publisher procedure?" And what were the questions. This must have started after I left the org.

  Weren't they just giving out their Bibles for free like crazy in their Manhattan Project a little while back? Almost throwing them "in the streets?"
