Is the two-witness rule really unreasonable?

by stillin in

i'm picturing a situation in which a savvy 12 year old doesn't like the house rules that mom's new husband has put into place.

or something along that line.

i can certainly agree that protection of children is paramount, but who protects the real victim in those cases?

The topic here is the very explanation an elder in the Burpengary North congregation Queensland Australia gave to me as to why the society does not act against pedos ....there might be only one supposed victim who lies (very rare) but at the sacrifice of thousands of true victims he said it was worth not acting against perpetrators because of the lying one ,I explained to him how disgusted I was with him and the society .

The Australian Royal Commission hearings on the JWs handling of child abuse begins here in the US later today. It will be streamed.

by AndersonsInfo in

the royal commission hearing starting on monday, july 27, 2015 - australian day and date - (and it could go on until august 7th depending on how many witnesses testify) regarding jehovah's witnesses handling of child abuse is supposed to be streamed.. it could be that the hearing will only be audio not video although we were informed it will be streamed.

we'll find out in a few hours.. i live in the central time zone of the us and right now here it is sunday, 3: 45 pm.

in sydney, australia, it is 15 hours ahead of us.

And to think the witnesses are only the tip of the iceberg ,theres plenty who have left the org or are still in and scared ,makes me feel sick for them having fought the org for years with my ex over this.

Really hope positive things can come from today.

Why hasn’t someone gotten real pissed off yet?

by John Aquila in

i keep reading of some guy who is so upset at someone that he goes into a theater and shoots 20 people..

or a kid that is so mad that the other kids made fun of him that he goes to school and shoots a bunch of kids..

or some guy that was fired from his job and he goes back and shoots of bunch of his workers.

I remember when Franz came to Oz and I was appointed to "security" and wondered about something bad might happen ,but not many of us knew how he was to get to the football ground and which gate he might come through.

Well all of a sudden a black limosine came to the gate I was attending and we opened up the gates and it drove up to the podium on the playing field. I thought at the time that this is no humble servant but a godlike person who is being treated as such, which really disturbed me as I'd been pumped full of that crap that they are'nt special , just human like us blah blah. He came with an entourage and every one was pumped in "security " that he was special including myself ,and I then thought he could be taken out just like anyone whose famous .His talk was just the usual meanderings of an old blind man I guess as the talk left no impression on me.

This was one of the moments I thought I had doubts developing way back then.

Often wondered about this but when its considered that the religion has only a tiny percentage of the worlds population in it , the chances of violence happening is slim as the people that were in were trying to live moally balanced lives with good hearts .

And how often does the leaders of other churches have to deal with violence , probably the same as the JWs ? Could it be said that Jehovah is protecting the GB ? not likely anymore than other religious leaders after all they are as accessible to the R & F as the pope.

TESTING Watchtower claims of "progressive truth" against actual history

by Terry in

proving watchtower malfeasance.

to catch the governing body in a big, fat lie, we must compare the excuse given for changing previous teachings against actual watchtower history and publications.

are changes in doctrine progressive by adding to understandingorare they regressive, merely repeating exactly what was previously taught?.

wozza

Thank you for that Terry ,what weasel words , if they had kept to Russells teaching they would have probably behaved the same way as a people during that war period .That is definitely the catch of the day in my book thanks again

BREAKING NEWS!!!

by DATA-DOG in

breaking news from co!!

according to a reliable source, the co in my area says that jws may have been hearing the phrase, "final push" being used.

what sage advice did this shepherd, duke, and "star" of revelation have to say?

wozza

I guess "SimonSays" has a right to express his/her thinking here but when he/she writes it's a little like wanking ...it's sex, .... but it does'nt make a baby.

Good move ,as yet I've never been able to show a witness a copy as they think I'm showing them something appostate even elders I've known and worked with for years .......so blinded ,guess they have to find their own road to truth.
