  What do you think the Australian Government will do?

  by Richard Oliver in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am not wanting to start a fight.

  i just want to hear what people think.

  honestly and realistically, what do you think the australian government will do, with watchtower, when they receive the full arc report?.

  "Those Who Leave Are Doomed..."

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in mission impossible 3, ethan hunt (aka tom cruise) and his protege (aka keri russell) have an explosive pellet implanted in their heads through their nose by the bad guys as a way to control them.

  the only way to to stop it from detonating is to use a defibrillator or some device to send massive electric shocks to the body, thus short circuiting the deadly implant.

  hunt's protege doesn't get the help she needed in time, and she dies.

  When someone is released from a long time being incarcerated it take them 1 month for every year to adjust to life outside.

  Like leaving the J.W's it takes some time to adjust to a new life........but hell it's worth it!!!!!

  Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

  judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

  imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

  by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

  Landy. The ARC makes recomendatios to parliament to change laws ect.

  They have no power as such but their recommendations are taken very seriously.

  One of the judges said to an Elder on the stand "Things are going to have to change".... lets hope so.

  Are the J.W's reaching a "Tipping point"?

  by karter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.

  the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.

  then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

  At the moment their is a stedy trickle of people leaving ,questioning going on line looking things up ect.

  Gone are the days were the WTS could hide things everything now is only a few clicks of a mouse away.

  So that stedy trickle will keep going and may well turn into a larger one and alot of the J.W's now are what i call "Lola"witness's" they talk like one but not realy one,Put on a show now and again but behind the sean they carry on like the rest of us.

  I was on a job and there was an Elder from my old congro he was talking to another Elder on his cell phone and it was on "Specker phone" so i could hear it all they were talking about how some Elders like to stamp their mark on the congro and alot of infighting ect ....so that is all helping bring down it down brick by brick.

  by trey bundy / february 17, 2017 .

  the jehovah’s witnesses settled a lawsuit this week brought by a pennsylvania woman who says the religion’s leaders covered up sexual abuse she suffered as a teenager.. the settlement came five days into a trial in which stephanie fessler, a former jehovah’s witness, claimed the religion’s parent corporation violated pennsylvania’s child abuse reporting laws by instructing local leaders – known as elders – not to report her allegations to police.. according to fessler, a middle-aged jehovah’s witness woman, terry monheim, began sexually abusing her when she was 14. at 15, fessler disclosed the abuse to her parents.

  The WTS seems to have a "Clergy" class when it suits them.

  by pale.emperor in

  2. scandals

  it's come out in my old congregation that, not one, but two child molesters have been hiding in my old congregation.

  i knew both of them and one of them, an old man, was regularly at my house for field service meetings on a weekly basis.. in my old congregation there's an apostate who was awake long before i was.

  unfortunately he cant leave because his wife and children and parents are still full on believers.

Another bro started a painting company and employed many people just till he payed off his morgage. ...that was payed off 20 years ago and his business is bigger than ever. 1 bro that did stick to what he said was about to retire early and spend more time in F.S..... he got ripped off by an elder who was an accountant .....accountant went to jail and the brother he ripped off fell away.
