Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

by Rattigan350 in

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

Does anyone find it odd that people like Fisherman and Scholar seem to avoid topics like this......can't count hours maybe?

I think someone at bethel America is doing an excellent job at keeping the AM 111 news discreet now after some one let the cat out of the bag. Due credit to where it belongs.

However, I think the ExJW community deserves due credit as well for ,if you think about it ,bethel would not have done what they have done, and the way they did it ,unless they are running scared of the ExJW ;s who have seen thru the WTS and exposed how it operates to the world and the JW's themselves . The WT leaders have lost their power in this regard and must be so irritated at how speedily news gets out to the world by people who used to be controlled by them.

When I became a JW the governing body played the "discreet" role and hardly any witness knew who they were ,but these players today became a sad American pantomime.

llubrevlis2000-said " is he apostate? If so, he will be a hero and can do a lot of good and save a lot of people 😀"

Well I put up my hand up now to say that viewing TOMO as a hero would be presumptuous and foolish ,being part of a disgustingly hurtful group of egotistical false prophets this has not proved to be a decent human being let alone a follower of the bible Jesus.

Would it not be silly at this time not even knowing what's going on ,to start claiming how he would be viewed as a hero if he went "apostate".

At the moment I will regard him the same as an elder in my old congregation ,also an alchoholic (even at the meetings one could smell the booze) where the elder body did not discipline him till it was too late . People caught him molesting children at a public toilet .The witnesses tried to hide his lifestyle.

If death is the result of sin, why do animals die?

by Orgull in

my first week of posts here were very serious and all the wonderful, encouraging replies helped me very much.. so now i want to ask something semi-frivolous.

(actually it's one of the many things that don't make sense to me about "the truth").

why do animals die?.

wozza

God says he is aware of even sparrows dying ,so do they have a spirit? Does this soul dwell in the cells of the creature?

If they return to god on death where and why would he keep them?

If the creatures don't have a spirit how is it that they function and die the same as us?

Where in the bible does it say at conception or birth that god puts a spirit in a human?

These sorts of questions annoy the hell out of irritated believers ,because thats all they have got faith and belief like I had at one time with no explanation or proof.

Details of Noah’s Ark

by enigma1863 in

jw magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.. is it detailed?

name one person outside of noah’s family.

name one nephilim.

wozza

Well as far as heating and light that would be covered by taking some bamboo from a desert and sticking lengths of it up the rectums of the creatures and collecting the ample quantities of Methane gas ,very useful stuff.

Come to think of it gods people have been blowing gas out their bums for a very long time.

How to debunk the 1914 calculus ONLY using JW publications?

by psyco in

i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.

thanks..

wozza

What Alethia said ,when I started to be a JW they encouraged us to get copies of different Bibles for comparing ,I still have some ,and the emphatic Diaglott.

I wonder if thats the case these days ,perhaps that's the problem that Scholar has not using other translations ,and therefore he always comes up with the same thinking on things.

House Bill 1098

by lastmanstanding in

many of you are aware of the ongoing battle over clergy exemption from reporting of child abuse.

the question is, are we in the field doing enough to push for what is right!?.

there are always multiple ways of looking at an issue, and the viewpoint advocated by the catholic church, the mormon church and the watchtower church is that the provision of confession without the fear of being turned in to police allows an abuser to seek help to stop his abuse.

wozza

Seems to me that if the religious organizations report these crimes they have heard in confession they will lose members which in the end translates to dollars.

Born in 2014

by Splash in

it just occurred to me that those born in 2014, 100 years after the epochal date of 1914, will be 9 years old this year and are starting to become candidates for baptism.. 1914 used to be relatable in that our parents or grand parents lived then, but not any more.. it’s dropped so far into history that any significance linked to it is just as convincing as the black death being a harbinger for armageddon.. never mind that we are also now crossing the 100 year threshold for the 7 trumpets of declarations that occurred during the 1920’s!

remind me, how important were these angelic messages?

if i was still a jw i would have to isolate my jw brain from all thinking and reasoning so i could continue to believe.. honestly, did it even make sense back in the day?.

My first study was in 74/75 with an elder who believed 1975 was the end ,well he's long dead and the memory of my study seems so very long ago.

And yet Charles Taze Russel started to formulate the JW teachings 100 YEARS before that !

How the hell did I ever follow this shit.

MY EXPERIMENT with new A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) refutes Watchtower chronology in a blazing one second of time

by Terry in

bulletin (apple ios users only).

these secular sources and evidence suggest that the destruction of jerusalem by babylon took place in 537 bce, not 607 bce as jehovah's witnesses believe.. .

these problems with the watchtower society's reasoning suggest that their interpretation of the bible and the date of the destruction of jerusalem by babylon is incorrect.. .

wozza

It's all in the DATA ,feed it shit and shit will come out I guess.
