  To borrow a title from an old game show, how about they start a show called "To Tell the Truth". On second thought i don't they're capable of doing so.

  10 hour pioneer - 10 hours is more or less what the average publisher puts down on their time sheet every month, whether they made an actual 10 or not.

  JWTV. org - All I can picture in my mind is some hokey quiz show with that organ music in the background like the quiz shows from the 50's and Carol Merrill from Let's Make a Deal standing in front of the boxes as some loser elder wearing a plaid sports jacket and bow tie asks you do want Box number two or do you want what's behind the curtain?

  The Amish folks are getting into the act too. I could tell by the way they were dressed they were Amish. I don't know if they were there for recruiting purposes, but at a subway station a month or so ago, a big group of them were singing in the station and there were about two people handing out literature. I don't think they recruit so I guess they were just there for entertainment purposes and the literature was probably for folks who wanted to know more about them.

  The 2 witness rule

  by tim hooper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've just been informed by a jw apologist that regarding the 2 witness rule in cases of child abuse, the child himself counts as 1 of the witnesses.

  he also stated that if 2 children complain about abuse seperately, the 2 children then count as 2 witnesses.. any thoughts please?.

  Since they claim everything they do is from the Bible I want to know what scripture mentions the two witness rule.

  Backseat, my father, an elder was I hospice,it was just the next step to his illness. Why do the Dubs in your area feel they have to go to the elders for that ?

  Just shows it's a cult since they're not all on the same page.

  THe part about the elders checking out YouTube and Facebook to see who's talking negatively about the Borg will be a collosal waste of time.

  I'm sure some apostates out there use their real names but then again some don't.

  I myself have three different Twitter and FB accounts and a few Disqus accounts.

  But maybe something good will come of it, the elders will learn TTATT while they're trying to scout out all the apostates.
