go to the legal developments menu on jw org.
click on legal developments by region.
you will find several countries listed where the ministry and practice of jws is banned and/or constrained.
Typical ploy of the WT Borg ,ignore it and hide it from the faithful .Why advertise they have a serious problem with the ARC ,best not to say anything about it, Jehovah will sort it out soon and it will all blow over.
Then again pigs might fly, or Armageddon might come
hi everyone, .
i have been trying really hard to find the court case transcript where steven unthank was in court in australia and one of the wt lawyers or a wt spokesperson said the faithful and discreet slave does not exist.. i hope that this is correct i remember reading about this a long while back and would love to get evidence of this.. i found steven on facebook and messaged him about 6 months ago and he didn't respond, he probably wants to let all this go, and i don't blame him for that.. any suggestions would be very much appreciated.. thanks wgo..
And the average JW going from d2d has know idea of this interpretation from the Governing body /legal department, or how this affects their overall beliefs ,
http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/12/10/504691357/million-year-old-hero-bug-emerges-from-cave.
this is pretty fascinating.
paenibacillum is not pathogenic, but is absolutely battle-hardened as far as bacteria go, having spent 4 million years in a 1600' deep cave that takes 10,000 years to get water from the surface and never sees sunlight..
It sounds like the mentality of a die -hard Jehovahs Witness ...............Sorry I couldnt help myself,
JW`s claim they see the light getting brighter and brighter ,bacteria seems to be way ahead of them.
Will have a more serious look at it Later
first, a good evening to all on this forum,.
i have been busy with my work, and so i don't come on here much.
but because of winter, i will stop in on occasion and share some interesting insights.
Check out "JW`s gasped in Australian court " just bumped recently about the F&DS Class as being a" Theocratic Arrangement" only and not to be identified with any individual personal or group of persons.
shocking information near the bottom of this report from a watchtower lawyer definding the organization in australian courts.focus on the information under the heading: "the faithful and discreet slave".
quite the shocker... the society's lawyer statesthere is no true physical body of people, but only a theological arrangement.
the jws in the crowd gasped.
Bump for newbies and those that are interested in the F&DS class being a "Theocratic Arrangement" only and not identified with any individuals or group of individuals that can be accountable for.any actions attributed to the F&DS class .
If you can get your head around that BS.

we are currently living in a country where at the cinema the national anthem is played before the start of the movie and it is law that you stand.
does anyone know what current jw thinking is on this?
i know there has been various changes over the years.
At the ARC into Child Sexual Abuse in Institutions in Australia G.Jackson the Australian Governing Body member took an oath swearing on the Bible to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.(hand on the Bible)
A couple of the Elders that gave testimony at the same ARC opted to take an Affirmation to tell the truth rather than taking an oath swearing on the Bible.
What does that tell us ? Do the GB members/Elders even know what their current policy is ?
When I was in over 25 years ago ,standing for the National Anthem was a strict no-no ,the same with taking an oath and swearing on the Bible a definite no-no .here in Australia.
So much for their claim of being a religion of unity amongst all members.
i have a friend who said he'll have to stop listening to me after i told him about yahweh's origins in canaanite religion, because he's firm in his beliefs.. i have a mother who said she goes to the meetings even if it's wrong, and i should too.
she is also firm in her beliefs.. i have talked to an elder about evolution, and as i made the case for it and against creationism, he said that at some point i have to decide that there is a creator.
he too is firm in his beliefs.. all of these people will also talk about going out in service.
Just because a person firmly believes he/she has the truth in no way validates they have the truth.
Poor sods.
how jehovah's witnesses leaders hide child abuse secrets at all costs.

What we need is a Julian Assange ,wikileaks type to expose the WTB&TS for all the world to see.
