The net result of this action has been that all 7,000 elders and ministerial servants have been forced to comply with the WWC as well as several thousand pioneers and publishers who preach to or study with children.
I wasnt aware that it included pioneers and some publishers either jwleaks
That is very good news.
And you guys passing this information on to your respective goverments could go a long way in making the WT.org accountable for the abuse of children happening in their religion in your part of the world.

Thanks for starting this thread zeb .However these are only recomendations from the ARC at this stage and not law (yet)
The Catholic Church has already objected to Clergy divulging confidential information given to them in the confessional saying its not going to happen and clergy will break the law and go to jail if need be rather than break this church law. According to a R.C.Cardinal
Who knows we may even see the Jehovahs Witnesses being a friend of the Catholic Church in a court of law if it gets to that point.
They got into bed with christendom in a court of law once before right ?
Interesting times ahead though.

When was the book of Lamentations written?
by Jules Saturn in
1. watchtower
2. bible
so i was researching about 587 and 607 and couldn't help but notice that the wbts states that the writing of the book of lamentations was written by jeremiah near jerusalem and was completed in 607 bc.

chapters 2 and 4 of this book describe jehovah's anger towards jerusalem and the terrible effects of jerusalem's siege taking place in chapter 4. can someone clear this up?

was this book written in 607?
smiddy

What does the book "Equipped For Every Good Work " published by the WT in about the 1950`s say about this ?
or is that where you got your information from ?
Just curious Jules.

keeping from being recognized

2. suggestions
anyone try to disquise their intellect,???

a lot of us have certain pet phrases, sayings, and opinions.

if you know me you could pick them out.

road to nowhere ,I think your being a little bit paranoid but thats understandable seeing you are new here.
Most of us here have been paranoid ,suspicious ,and shit scared of even being on this site lest we are exposed and dragged up before a JC.when we first started to post here .
Believe me its all in our heads due to the indoctrination over the years we have been put through.
It actually took me a few years before I was absolutely comfortable in posting here and on other sites.
The JW organisation is not MI6 or the KGB or ASIO , so dont worry they neither have the resources or the willpower to monitor everybody who are leaving the organisation nowadays .
The only way they have to curb the exodus is at congregation meetings and assemblys or Conventions warning of Apostacy .thats all.
And remember ex JW`s on here are from all over the world do you honestly think they have the capacity or willpower to monitor all of us including the multitude of other ex JW sites ?.......No way.
And welcome to the forum

Doubling up on Circuit Overseers for Apostahunts?
by Wakanda in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in my area i know of four congregations dissolved in one circuit, so that leaves eight weeks a year empty for that circuit overseer's calendar.

dissolving congregations is happening more than in my area, so i believe we can assume other c.o.s have open time.

it appears that c.o.s are visiting with a companion c.o.

Any Jehovahs Witness worth his salt knows you cant ask questions about the organisation ,Elders,the GB ,doctrines,or anything else related to the JW organization including JW.Org
To do so will incur the wrath of the powers that be in the organisation.
And you will be history.

The average Witness will continue to follow Watchtower leadership whether right or wrong.

i hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.

it's truly bizarre!!.

clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.

Stuckinarut2 that sums up JW`s as much as other cults.Very good

Juarez MX Assembly Kingdom Hall to be sold.
by ironsnake656 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there are several confirmed announcements in some congregations around the city regarding the sale of the assembly kingdom hall.

one of the reasons why it will be sold is that expenses are not covered by donations.

the hall was dedicated in 2009. actually, in some congregations the elders have not given the announcement for the publisher's reaction... .

With their billion dollars $$$$$ in real estate sales the WT couldnt tide them over for a bit ?
Whats the bet it will be sold to one of christendoms churches if they are the only ones interested in buying.
