Another one here who was added without me asking. Besty, I just saw their post about you and find it kinda ironic you were dropped from the group for breaching privacy (when there is only 3 names who are public apostates anyway) while all of this is going on. Former member of the AAWA now.

Facebook is really too public for any group of this sort. There are plenty of forum and newsgroups software freely available... hosting doesn't cost much nowadays and it's not hard to make your group private altogether. On the forum I admin, I have a section there which can only be accessed by those I approve. I have my own criteria and the rules were set as a joint effort between myself, the mods and the posters of the forum. It's a very small forum so it suits everyone quite well though they are all aware there never are any guarantees on the internet.

In short... there are plenty of other options that don't require much resources, just a bit of time and research.

Victoria, Australia, Newspaper article: Child in Jehovah's Witness Court Bid

by AndersonsInfo in

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/child-in-jehovahs-witness-court-bid-20130217-2elcg.htmlchild in jehovah's witness court bid.

february 18, 2013barney zwartza traralgon child has clubbed his pocket money together with three others, paying $69.70 to launch a private criminal prosecution against the jehovah's witnesses.. the child, 11, who is due to give evidence on monday at the state inquiry into how the churches handled child sex abuse, wanted to force the church to comply with working with children laws.

after four hearings, to which church leaders did not send a representative, the church began complying and the office of public prosecutions intervened to discontinue the case.. the inquiry will also hear from anti-jehovah's witness campaigner steven unthank, a former member of the church who says he and his family were ostracised and persecuted after he tried to tackle child abuse.. his submission alleges the church and its incorporated body, the watchtower society, covered up criminal child abuse, including rape, sexual assault, death threats, blackmail and assault, across four states by ordained ministers and officers of the church.. advertisementthe victorian and civil administrative tribunal will hear a religious vilification complaint against the church by mr unthank in may, after the church said people who left the church, as he had, were ''mentally diseased''.. and the victorian health services commissioner is investigating a complaint by another former gippsland church member that a jehovah's witness chaplain was found alone without permission with a naked toddler in a room at latrobe regional hospital.. the child appearing today, who cannot be named, has asked the inquiry to determine whether the church's failure to get working with children checks between july 2008 and december 2011 amounted to criminal child abuse of all 6160 jehovah's witness children in victoria.. he asks why the government and police let the church ''get away with'' non-compliance, and whether the state will help file a class action against the church.. the submission suggests the 2000 jehovah's witnesses who worked with children were committing criminal offences each week.

I saw the article this morning in The Age... which is a mainstream, credible newspaper and this article occupies a decent area too...it's kinda hard to miss.

Two Witnesses stuck in a elevator or car without Chaperon. Would they fornicate? Yes/No

by Witness 007 in

im amazed how going witnessing sisters who knew me for decades would sit only in the back seat on the way to the hall...to avoid any sex at the traffic lights!!!

and chaperons 1840's style are needed because two witnesses alone for 10 minutes would go at it like animals even after all the training watchtower articles and talks being jahs clean org.

and all..

Only if the elevator got stuck at night... all sex happens at night remember?

BADGES COMING TO LOCAL KINGDOM HALLS, FINALLY RESPECT I DESERVE!

by AuntConnie in

badges are coming to distinguish real christian effort!

1. badges: i want my badge to be different from the other brothers and sisters badges coming!

the society has realized they can't live without us and now they are giving us a little something extra ,it's going to be a blast!

brinjen

" I found a place in Vietnam who makes the badges for $1.75 per 10,000 using the highest grade materials. Could I sell the ones we don't use on Ebay or Amazon?"

As long as you donate the profits to the world wide preaching work... I don't see why not.

Note... donations to the world wide preaching work can come in the form of...

1. A nice new pair of shoes, for witnessing of course. Wear them once then complain they make your feet hurt and quit witnessing.

2. You could pair those shoes with a nice new dress... which won't be appropiate to wear witnessing so better stay home instead.

3. Some fuel for your car. Need fuel to go witnessing right? Hang on... the car is a little too upmarket... might stumble someone. Better stay home to be safe.

4. How about a pair of jeans? Oh yeah... can't wear them witnessing. Too late... better stay home.

5. A stack of DVD's. Can't talk... busy.

I noticed the whiskey jug too... nothing like a good ole' stereotype. He's playing a 'worldly' so therefore he must have long hair and his booze with him at all times. I hear the director's cut also featured a highly controversial orgy scene with a hooker shooting up in the background. (yeah... joking)
