As shown in the edited video in Oogie's post, the GB wants JW kids to pay for the child abuse settlements. Clearly, Watchtower Corp and the governing buffoons are prepared to make victims of EVERY child one way or another. They gotta start the fear, obligation, and guilt early.

Doing away with Calculating How Close we are to THE END
by FusionTheism inthe watchtower study edition, august 2015, "keep in expectation!
" article:.
paragraph 3: "after looking forward to the end of this system for what may seem to be a long time, however, some may wonder, do we still have sound reasons to keep in expectation?

In the "prophecy" of Matt. 24:45-51, isn't this exactly what Jesus foretold?
The slave says in his heart, "My master is delaying." Then he turns to beating (and robbing) his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with the confirmed drunkards (TV/Internet evangelists and hedge fund investors).

Seriously, though; any time I hear religious people use the words "sheep" and "sheeplike", I'm inclined to ask them, "you do know what a sheep's ultimate fate is, don't you?"
If you're a WT sheep, you can forget about the panda-petting paradise. This is your future, right here:

The Duggar family hypocrisy
by Simon inanother christian child-abuse scandal in the news is the duggar family of "19 kids and counting" fame.. their show has been pulled after it emerged that the uber-christian family who are seen to promote right-wing christian values covered up abuse within their family and that of other victims by one of their family.
some values.
once again the only value that seems to really matter to the religious is appearance... good riddance to hypocritical zealots.. they have campaigned against lgbt as being threats to children and describing them as sexual predators all the while knowing that they have their own dirty secret.

Damned if they do, Damned if they don't
by FusionTheism ini see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.
i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.
also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.
-
-
Billy the Ex-Bethelite
To the people with this attitude: What exactly is it that you WANT the Society to do?
For starters, they should instruct the elders that if they become aware of an accusation of child molestation they should call the police ASAP.
Is that so difficult? Is the protection of children such low priority?
Even after all these years, numerous lawsuits, and millions of dollars in settlements, Watchtower Corporation still instructs elders to call the legal department at the branch for direction FIRST. Then the legal department will tell them what to do. With their current policies, Watchtower will continue to be a safe haven for child molesters.
And that's just for starters.

I skimmed the 16 page "Return to Jehovah" tractazine. Pure fluff that would only attract the weakest of sheep to return to the shepherd... who will eat them.
Why don't they have chapters like: "Turn a blind eye to the pedophiles in the congregation and keep paying for the lawsuit settlements", "Sure, stories in the Bible like the flood and Solomon's temple are complete rubbish to take literally, but come back to the Kingdumb Haul anyway", "The GB are lying, false prophets, but come back to the Kingdumb Haul anyway", and "Conditional friendship as found at the Kingdumb Haul is the best kind!"

JWs and their views on Sex
by campaign of hate inin the past i have read on this forum that the wt have a say in the "bedroom" of couples.
i thought that was a bit overkill at first, but recently i have come to conclusion that this is true.. the control administered by the wt cooperation on ones sex life is not on only intrusive, its damaging.
they control every aspect of ones thought and action, thus leading most down a path that said corporation wants them to tread.. this path is to get married young, and then eternal loyalty the the organisation.. so how can an organisation force you to get married young?.

Heaven: This prayer before sex thing would be a 100% turn off for me.
I dunno, but does it qualify as a prayer when someone shouts, "Oh God! Yes, Yes, YES!"?

I wish I could just disappear or relocate to another country.
For my fade, I moved less than 100 miles to a city outside the old circuit and district.
Do you think its a right time to step down as a MS, Im only worried if this will make my wife overzealous , I'm happy with the way she is slacking, no Family worship , FS ....etc
I don't want my stepping down to motivate her to do moreHave you crafted a good reason for stepping down?
Looking back, it now absolute baffles me how as a JW you have to come up with a reason to quit being a pioneer, elder, or MS. Now that I'm in the real world, when you're working and not getting paid, they appreciate anything and everything you do. If you have to quit as a volunteer, they thank you for your service and don't block the door demanding a reason like WT Corp does. Sorry, I'm on a tangent...
Does your wife have close JW friends? How does she feel about donating money to WT and the local congregation? Sometimes little things like that can give an indication of possible relapses into WT cult mode.
