transcript.
Watchtower supervisor Richard Ashe was asked if the organization has a responsibility to protect children from abuse.
RICHARD ASHE, Watchtower Supervisor:
.......within the congregation, ours is a spiritual protection. When we’re talking about physical protection, that’s up to the secular authorities to provide.
Shame on you Watchtower!
my zealously fanatic jw mum is aware of my current "tourist-jw" life.
what she doesn't know for sure is that she's part of the ones who brought me to this.. my mum was a quite moderate jw, she even got publically reproved once.
in our house, there was no daily text, no family study, no eating together, no preaching together, no watchtower study...even though she regularly checked my wt to see if i studied it.. being a single mother, she had a quite busy work schedule, so from the moment she woke up to the moment she went to bed, you'd better not waste a single minute of her time needlessly.

I understand what you're saying Eden.
However the Watchtower has always taken the moral high ground on every matter & has continually wagged its finger at 'false religion' (their terminology not mine)
The Watchtower can now be seen as being no better than any 'worldly' law bound corporate religion operating in 'Satan's old world' (their terminology not mine)

Matthew 5:40
"If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too."
In other words go beyond mans law to do what is good to others.
Matthew 18:6
"If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
The the men comprising the Governing Body of the Watchtower Organisation who claim to be Christs spiritual brothers have nothing to crow about. Yes their millions of $$$$$ are safe for the time being however their victory is a hollow one & the world can see it.
i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .
opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.
the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.
Many a time I heard elders & CO's say from the platform.............
Brothers & Sisters........
If you are a congregation publisher can you explain to Jehovah why you are not an auxiliary pioneer?
If you are an auxiliary pioneer can you justify to Jehovah why you are not a full time pioneer?
Are you giving Jehovah (Watchtower) your all brothers?
Are you holding back from serving Jehovah (Watchtower) whole souled?
Remember brothers & sisters Jehovah knows the inclination of your hearts (Threat: God will harm you if you don't do as we say)

“a personal ministry, not a required congregation function or activity,” ????????
Preaching from door-to-door is an activity that individual Jehovah’s Witnesses only engage in when they feel motivated to speak about God.” ??????????
Utter lies!
Do you remember how you were made to feel when you didn't go out in your 'personal ministry'.
Do you remember being mentally beaten into submission from the platform about your 'personal ministry'?
Do you remember the scorn of being called spiritually weak or inactive?
Do you remember how worthless you felt?
The Watchtower is a vile, malevolent organisation & I will dance on its stinking grave.
the latest phase of the uk charity commission case included this:.
subsequent to the opening of the inquiry, in a letter dated 10 july 2014, mr cook of the watchtower informed the respondent that the disfellowshipping hearing for mr rose had in fact been carried out by the elders of a different congregation, so the charity had played no role in that process.
mr cook (who is the in-house solicitor at the watchtower) later elaborated on his own letter in a witness statement for the tribunal.
When will the elders realize they are going to be used & hung out to dry!
From an organisation always boasting of its love & unity.
from so many posts and conversations on here, you'd think over 1/2 the posters here possess doctorates in theology, physics, biology, etc.
i'm curious aside from the books and research people have done here, what degrees they have.
to start, i just got an aa and going straight through full time to an mba.
Anyway EndofMysteries......why all the willy waggling?

to funny nice job....
I detest the WT & can't wait to see it exposed for what it is, however this was excruciating to watch.
The video will just fortify any JW's resolve that they have the 'truth' & are surrounded by Satan's hoards.
Thanks for nothing.
