...one question about anything and get a straight answer, what would it be?
historical, philosophical, theological, eschatological, anything.
.
You will never get a straight answer out of a Jehovahs Witness whether he/she is a R&f member , pioneer, MS ,Elder, or a GB member ,why ?
Because they all speak out of both sides of their mouth
The publications of Jehovahs Witnesses are designed to give two sides of a question put to them depending on what the questionaire expects to get as an answer .
of publisher numbers go up its a sign jehovah must be blessing the work if they go down it a sign the end must be near .
if there's an earthquake it a sign.if there's a war it's a sign ..i'm sure donald trump is sign.
karter.
Definetly most assuredly every negative in society no matter what realm of human endeavour you look at it is a sign the end is near.
just watching makes me shiver.

I wouldn`t put anything past the WT Society /GB members , their capable of anything ,they have lied for more than 100 years , now maybe they have just up the ante.?
so, it finally happened.
the first time i have been called out for being an apostate.
it started out innocently enough: my family and i were watching a tv show.
Sorry , In an earlier post you said you didn`t have a support system even if you wanted to leave.
Your 18 years old and still living at home , you need to bite your tongue and respect your family providing for you until you can branch out on your own and be independant.
Dont bite the hand that feeds you.
Learn to control your tongue.Otherwise you will only make life more difficult for yourself.
Take care.
i heard my hard out jw sister say that for the 1st time in many years and i'm hearing more and more jw's saying that.
years ago when i was in they talked about the new system coming any minute..
This system of things cant last more than five years . Told to me every few years from the early 1960`s.
I didn`t leave till 1993 ,I`m a slow learner.
many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.
sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.
those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".
How many Australian Newspapers have reported this report by the ARC ? about the Jehovahs Witness religion ?
It has not been reported as far as I know by the Herald Sun a victorian newspaper,
I believe it has been reported by the Australian newspaper that does get national coverage.only limited.
And I believe it has been reported by the Sydney Morning Herald a NSW newspaper
I have not seen anything on ABC Television news that I generally watch , along with other TV stations and nothing has been forthcoming. And I flick around the channells
How do we get Australian newspapers /TV news ,videos ,documentarys etc. to get our message across..

reading it now...no comment yet.
Konceptual99 has hit the nail on the head apart from a couple of points.The 2 witness rule is a Bible based requirement according to JW doctrine for so long , I dont see how they will get around this one.
The mandatory reporting in all states is one the JW`s would accept in a heatbeat because it takes the onus of responsibility off them.
Never mind that in 50 years 3018 Elders never contacted the police or child protection services while they presided over child sex abuse cases in their congregations.
Possibly a law will be enacted to ensure more JW`s will have to undergo WWCC ,Elders and MS.
We will have to wait and see what happens in March 2017 when JW`s are adressed again .
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/11/28/australian-jehovahs-witnesses-protected-over-a-thousand-members-accused-of-child-abuse-report-says/.
over the course of about six decades, more than 1,000 members of the jehovah’s witnesses were accused of sexually abusing australian children, according to a new report.
victims were ordered to keep quiet.
Thanks guys for setting me straight about the Washington Post and its good to see the story has been picked up elsewhere
If we made a comparison of the JW `s and the RCC how ,would the JW`s fare ?
The Catholics have over 1 billion members and have had a big prtoblem with child sex abuse.
The Jehovahs Witnesses have over 8 million members and they have a big problem with child sex abuse .
Has anybody ever done a comparison here between these two ?
I sometimes think the R.C.Church has been dealt a raw deal here simply because they are such a large religion ,however religions such as the Jehovahs Witnesses escape the spotlight simply because they are a small sect
IN fact maybe they are just as bad or even worse offenders if we look at the ratios.
Just saying.
10 response of the jehovah’s witness organisation to the sexual abuse of children.
having regard to the various matters we have discussed in this report, we have reached a number of general conclusions on the jehovah’s witness organisation’s response to the sexual abuse of children.
we do not consider the jehovah’s witness organisation to be an organisation which responds adequately to child sexual abuse.
I`ll be very interested in how they will put a spin on the 2 witness rule, a God given direction plainly stated in the Bible.
They love to point out that they are a Bible based religion that they alone follow ,how will they get around that one.?
Will they ,can they drop it ?
Listener , you say Vin Toole has been challenged for his testimony in violation of NSW law ? am I correct ?
Do you have any reference to that effect ?
