  The bridge

  by truthwillsetyoufree in

  so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

  apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

  i like to try new things, so any suggestions for cheese varieties you have tried?

  The great 1914 turn around

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i must say there is no other religion in modern times that has lied more to their cult followers than the watchtower company and no more brain dead, gullible cult members than the jdubs.. just three examples.

  when russel was in charge 1914 was prophesied to be the end of the system of things with armageddon and the earthly paradise.

  that didn't happen and poof now 1914 was not the end, oh no, it was the beginning of the end.. the second example, the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away before the end came, which meant in all jdubs minds that paradise had to be here in the late 1990's.

  1914 is slowly being fazed out,Soon it will be like 1975 if anyone mentions it they will be accused of "Running ahead of the W.T.S" or "We have new lite" or whatever other B.S they can come up with.

  I predict they will come up with a new date like 1986 the U.N year of peace and security or what ever date suits them.

  Ayeitsbooboo,Be streight up and ask her if she is still a hardout JW?

  If she is my advice is to walk away before you get anymore involved and cause more heartache

  after the conviction of arch bishop phillip wilson for concealing sex abuse in the church and cardinal pell"s trial getting underway.. this leaves it wide open for the victims to seek redress.. if you are taken to court expect the wts to through you under a bus and wipe their hands of any blame.. if you think putting your assets in a trust or transfering them into your wife,childrens name...to late any lawyer will argue you only did that to stop any victim seeking redress.. i think the victims will all ready be contemplating their course of action and don't be surprised if court action is not far away.. karter..

  This leaves it wide open for the victims to seek redress.

  If you are taken to court expect the WTS to through you under a Bus and wipe their hands of any blame.

  If you think putting your assets in a trust or transfering them into your wife,Childrens name...To late any lawyer will argue you only did that to stop any victim seeking redress.

  I think the victims will all ready be contemplating their course of action and don't be surprised if court action is not far away.

  The 'IN' families

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing i don't miss about being a jobo, is those families that ruled the congregations.. i've seen how the elders protected their own using our old friend, nepotism.. eg.

  the son of an elder that stole a car and was prosecuted but 'let off' because it was kept secret and all his relatives were elders in the same congregation.

  it certainly went on when i was an elder but i wasn't one of the 'in' crowd.

  Is it clergy privilege?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just wanted to pose the question to the group and see what the general opinion is vs what the wt may have claimed in other cases.. we all know that they have argued over clergy privilege when elder learn of a crime but keep quiet about it.

  regardless of what one may feel about this, lets assume for a minute that they are correct.. all elders are directed to contact the branch when they learn of a case of child abuse.

  would the conversation between the elder and the branch be considered under the "clergy privilege"?

  If someone confesses to an Elder and they form a J.C does this not negate their rite to "Ecclestical Privilege"?

  My understanding is it is only bettween the Clergy they confessed to and the confesser not 2 other Elders and the service dept and whoever else knows??

  I live in a Commonwealth country and our laws are mostly from the British legal system and to the best of my knowledge this is the case.
