I've just watched the ABC report.
What an excellent report.
It's laughable how as the reporter says the WT 'peppered' their response with verses from the bible. Just shows you can make the bible say just about anything you want it to.
I hope with all my heart this is the start of the Watchtower being held to account.
this is a must watch video.
it brought tears of laughter!.

In REAL life..... did the guy keep his original job after so firmly turning down promotion & making his boss look a fool? Of course in the JW man's mindset the boss is being used by Satan to tempt him from the 'Troof'
I recall when I graduated from school in the late 1960's that I felt the careers officer & teachers were tools of Satan trying to stop me pioneering rather than trying to help me make the most of my education & life.

The Government has announced plans to make it a legal obligation for social workers, teachers and councillors to report child abuse. The Churches' Child Protection Advisory Service has called for the proposed law to apply to churches. William Crawley discusses with Simon Bass, chief executive officer of CCPAS.
The first 5 minutes of the radio programme deals with section of interest.
reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?
i bet its very minimal.
naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.
You're are being naughty InsidetheKH............those 40 hours of 'witnessing' are worthless in the eyes of the lord whilst you are fraternizing with us 'apostates'.

married woman, 36, who had sex with 15-year-old schoolboy breaks down in tears as she is told she faces jail .
married mother of two broke down in tears at merthyr tydfil crown court.
This adult woman took advantage of an inexperienced boy's interest in sex.
She should face the same sentence as an adult male perpetrating the same act with a 15 year old girl.
so the bible reading talks about some "good" appointed man who valued the office more than his wife and turned her over to the crowd to be repeatedly raped until she died.. then the sick hoser dismembers her and sends the body parts around the nation.
later the "faithful" jews from eleven tribes go up to do battle with the one "bad" tribe at god's okay and suffers defeat...twice!
finally the third time god lets them win.. wt says that we have to realize that women were expendable in those days.
Do you think god is more enlightened now?

the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.
but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.
It's been fun reading this folks so thanks for keeping it going.
I can't be arsed to add anything more......

You seem to be the only one hyping this up as bible prophecy, just shows the efficacy..............Oh sod it, I can't be bothered.
oh, the possibilities!
there is a lot of wasted talent.
I would have been an artist.
Instead I did part time factory work in order to pioneer & waste my opportunities.
Now the JW's don't even believe the stuff I was told to spout off to householders in the 1970's
The sham of a 'New World' dangled in front of young people so they put their real lives on hold hoping for a dream they had to believe in or face being killed by god at Armageddon.
Oh wait over 40 years later they are still trotting that one out......
since everything in life is supposed to be created by god, why did he create mosquitos, and vampire bats?.
mosquitos and vpbats live by taking in blood from other animals, and well humans too.
so my question is.....why would he forbid blood transfusions , when he made creatures who live off of others blood?
