  2. friends

  so a friend of mine will start with him.

  he's a typical jw goes to meeting helps out a lot uses his truck to move stuff around for the cult etc.. his wife gets bored with life and goes on a fornication spree and then gets dfd.

  he didn't like the way it was handled and himself during this time of emotional chaos has a minor indiscretion and gets privately reproved.

  The Governing Body of JW`s will probably wash their hands of these people stating they are not employees of JW`s , they are only volunteers who do so of their own accord.

  The organization of jehovahs Witnesses has no obligation to these people as they are not in the employ of the JW organization.

  jwleaks ,the JW organization has no fear of a financial impact of the deportation of 8000 Jw`s back to the Phillipines for the reasons I stated above.

  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  Call me a cynic , I wont hold my breath for any real sanctions against the religion only a token slap on the wrist and minor "apparent" changes to take place.

  Why ?

  Both in the state of Victoria and New South Wales it is and was a criminal offence not to report child sexual abuse of a minor .

  Elders in both states according to the Australian Royal Commission failed to do so with Vincent Toole a witness and legal representive of the Watchtower religion claiming in effect ignorance of that requirement.

  To date nobody has ever been charged with a criminal offence .

  And you may wonder why I am a cynic .

  on the door frame, on the door, door knocker, bell.. loud, very loud, regular, soft... gentle... or just pretended and never knocked at all?

  we just had a city worker come a knocking on our front door and my responce after she left was, she should go down to the local kingdom haul and give lessons.

  her knock was so loud, she could raise the dead.

  I used to use a coin to knock on the doors ,that way you didnt have to knock very hard

  I reasoned if I had to go through the stress of going out and the effort to do so I may as well talk to as many people as I could.

  At the same time relieved if no one answered the door.

  I think I had a problem

  So JW's are not allowed to vote because.... "no part of this world." Ok then explain why the WTBTS lobbied politicians on numerous

  sorry if this was posted before but if it was then it is worth repeating and discussing.

  the hypocrisy of the jw cult knows no bounds.

  supposedly, the reason jw's are not allowed to vote is because they must not be a part of this world.

  Romans Ch.13 says that "Every soul should be in subjection to the Superiour authorities ,for their is no authority except by God.the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.

  So jehovahs witnesses could in all conscience vote if they chose to do so ( Oh yeah ? really ? )

  2 Cor.4:4 The god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers (obviously not Jehovah )

  and apparently satan.

  Isnt that a contradiction ?

  Is Jehovah God in charge of the Superiour authorities or is satan in charge of the superiour authorities or to put it another way who is the God of this system of things ?

  When i was a JW , definetely not under any circumstances .

  As an ex JW definitely , under any and all circumstances. .

  I may be wrong in my thinking here but those ex JW`s who still have doubts about accepting blood as a medical procedure could still be influenced by the WT reasoning for refusing blood.

  They are /could still be Captives Of A Concept.

  However the fact that the WT has never got anything right these past 100+ years and that no other religion especially the Jewish religion agrees with the WT interpretation of the said scriptures ,thats good enough for me.

  Having said that I appreciate their are others (JW`s & non JW`s ) who do not want their body contaminated with someone elses blood for whatever reasons., and that is their perogative.
