  his reaction wasnt as liberal as i hoped it would be.

  he said that we needed to discuss it.

  however, gone are the days where im putting myself in the firing line and not sticking up for myself.

  i dont know why a gay man would want anything to do with religion. Especially the big three. Islam Judaism and Christianity. Their books all call for death to homosexuals. The other problem ofcourse is that they dont provide proof for any of their claims.

  MrMonroe they have to be approved.

  Some stories will allow for comments but wont publish them. If they have 100's of responses they will hopefull publish a few.

  Hopefully if the article is popular enough it will be bumped to the most popular stories on the front page.

  oh thanks guys. I just logged in and you've posted my video in the first page.

  I really didnt want to do this one because it's basically another publisc talk with some foodstuffs passed around. Then I thought, hell, if it's boring and repetative then it should be realistic.

  thanks for all the kind comments do, it motivates me to do another.

  Victoria, Australia: WTBTS and GB of JWs have shown themselves to be "GUILTY" respecting previous noncompliance with “Working With Children” Laws

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the watch tower society, the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, the faithful and discreet slave, and the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, last week issued a "special" letter to all bodies of elders in the state of victoria instructing them to immediately apply for their working with children licenses and to comply with child protection laws.

  the letter includes instructions that the contents are not to be made public or shared with members of the congregation.. .

  this means an investigation authorized by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and initiated by lawyers representing the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc. have concluded that the victorian working with children act 2005 and the associated child protection laws do indeed apply to all elders serving in congregations throughout the state of victoria both in the public ministry and in their internal ministry, which includes the theocratic ministry school.. .

  I wonder if any elders some back and say "ahhh, I couldnt get one.......ah yeah something to do with drink drive before I was a JW"

  If any elders are stood down over the next few weeks be suspicouse.

  But really, I think these checks are stupid. I doubt they have reduced child abuse anywhere.

  But still, forcing the WT to comply against their will is always good

  I dont trust Israel with nuclear weapons any more than I trust Iran. Israel is paranoid and highly militant. I wouldnt be surprised if they nuked the US if they decided to stop supporting them. Havent we learnt anything from Iraq. There were no WMD's. Israeli intelligence lied

  Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower

  by Jeremy C in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.

  last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.

  one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

  there are so many reasons to leave

  so many different ways to leave

  One that I think is important, is that kids bond with their class mates, they spend years with them growing up and getting to know each other. Sooner or later they will realise that their mates often accept them for who they are. If they make a mistake it's like "no worries, I've dont lots of stupid stuff too". Make a mistake as a JW and it can often remain in the backs of the minds of the whole cong, possibly it goes on your file. You will be deemed less worthy as a human being.

  But maybe a JW kid has no relationship with worldly kids. Often these types of kid will become a bit recluse, you know, the type that spend all day on the internet. Maybe they have more time to become intelligent. Need I say more.

  For me personally, I just never felt it in my heart. Like, I would pray and all that, but i just failed to see any real evidence of god effecting my life or shaping the JW org for that matter. I felt like an outsider then and I still feel like one now. And thank goodness i am that type of person. I dont want to fit into a sick cult, nor do i want to fit perfectly into worldly society, I'm a bit of a punk kid

  The Evolution of Morality

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible provides context for understanding the complete picture of the evolution of morality.

  the old testaments ten commandments are a good starting place not because of their moral superiority, but because of their historical relevance.. .

  take the bibles commandment of "thou shall not murder" for example.

  I'm sure there was a footnote on thou shall not murder. what if you have a gay son who uses gods name in vain?

  there are cultures who have no problem with murder. Murder is even honerable to Muslims who kill their children, it's called honour killings.

  In Africa they are still burning witches. After the Haitai disaster the sick people started killing the healthy because they thought they had cast a spell on them, when it was really the filthy water.

  so, no we dont have some kind of in built morality that tells us right from wrong.

  Evolution has made it so piranhas dont eat eachother. This isnt morality, it's how the species has survived
