Like I said Dreary, you're a good person.
But Steve 2 is a good and thoughtful member here as well and he makes a reasonable point.

The GB proclaim they are subject to "Caesar's" laws where no law of god is "broken".
You mention "non sh1thole countries" with ages of consent as low as 13 or 14 (I paraphrase). These (non sh1thole) countries apply the law in a non-blanket way.
For example - if a 15 year old and a 14 year old seem to freely consent to each others sexual activity (without coercion) it might result in being dealt with in such away that neither get a criminal record.
If an adult has a consensual relationship with a 13 year old it will rightly be treated differently.
The stink that rises from the GB and their organisation is not due to two teenagers fumbling in the dark.
It is from their being culpable of having records of adults abusing children and young teens and then withholding that information (from other congregants, legal agencies etc.) and even allowing perpetrators to later become or stay as elders, pioneers and min servants.

This week's CLAM meeting has a video from jwborg entitled Refreshing Those “Toiling and Loaded Down” about the Organisation's response to two terrorist's attacks in New York (Twin Towers) and Paris (Bataclan 2015).
To me it is more about a back slapping "Look what we do for you" than a "left hand not letting the right know" (Matt 6 v 3) action of love and care.

A question for my American friends - these long sentences that go well beyond a human life span. Is there any way an inmate can sometimes work them down like in the UK?
Over here it is normal that a good behaviour inmate who says all the right things at his reviews can have his sentence halved. The notorious JW Michael Porter - Pedo got 18 months but was out after 9. Obviously in some cases like murder this isn't always the case.

Changing verses in the new RNWT to suit an agenda
by freddo init's increasingly obvious to me that part of the reason for the "new" rnwt of 2013 is to increase the authority of the organisation and the gb.
yes, the old one was becoming dated but they have taken opportunities (liberties?
) with translation to increase their control.. an obvious one is micah 6 v 8 where "to cherish loyalty" has replaced "and to love kindness".

Nice find FedUpJW - (Exodus 20:5) - that footnote is neither in the 2013rnwt or the 2013rnwt study edition on line,

Over on JWTalk someone called "Doug" wrote ...
"A funny thing happened while typing this . . . My autocorrect changed Bro. Cook to Bro. Cool. How cool is that !?!"
Well I suppose it could have changed "Cook" to "Cock" or "Gook" or "Coon" but that might not be viewed as "Cool", hmmmmm?

I've Disassociated. It's getting announced tomorrow.
by Heathen Dan inthis is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).
first of all, i've left being a jw in june.

Welcome Dan! I'm so glad you and your brother have each other. You will feel up and down and wretched at times but small steps will get you where you need to be.
So your "carer" is threatening to sue you? Just shows how much he really "cared" for you. He has no chance. Don't worry about it.
I am no medical man but so many on here and other forums say how their illnesses, anxieties and depressions have improved immeasurably by being away from JW's and their twisted mantra.
Best of luck to you!

Greetings Mr. 50% Yellowfruit,
I am a Nigerian Princess whose father was cruelly murdered before he could escape cruel tyranny with our family savings of $10,000,000,000,000 (Ten Trillion USD).
Would you please send me just $1,000,000 (One million USD) so I can get the paperwork in order to release it quickly through very costly court cases.
I am a true Christian girl and very beautiful and hope to find an honest Christian man (looks not important) to love me tenderly.
Please wire the dough err ... please expedite funds through Western Union to P.O. Box Mboto Gorge, West Africa.
Thank you my loved one.
