180Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.

Why aren't the JDubs receiving more bad publicity concerning the abuse cover-ups?
by Sour Grapes ini know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.
my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.
i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.

The ARC did not find 1000 unreported victims. In March 2017, they admitted roughly half of them either already came to the attention of the police or had “insufficient evidence” to warrant a report.
However ...
Case Study 29 says ...
6.3 External reporting of child sexual abuse to authorities
Although the position is not clear in relation to a few files, there is otherwise no evidence before the Royal Commission of the Jehovah’s Witness organisation having reported to police or other secular authority a single one of the 1,006 alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse recorded in the case files held by Watchtower Australia.
Please note doubter -1006 perpetrators - not victims.
Now you keep on trolling if you wish; all the members of this forum and lurkers who see your responses will form their own conclusions.
You do a better job of highlighting the filth that goes on covered up by your leaders than any honest hearted person ever could.

Ah Doubter, Doubter, Doubter ...
See how your leaders speak out of both sides of their mouth?
To the emotionally trapped it's shun shun shun. To the onlooking world it's look how fair and reasonable we are.
Whitewashed graves is what they are. Wordy inscriptions on white paint on the outside but inside full of rotten bones and putrefying flesh.
Just like your masters you lyingly defend their disgusting, lying behaviour.

Eldub BIL, and Df'ed Kid's!!!!
by DwainBowman inmy super fine eldub bil, has a son that's been df'ed for a long time.
last month he deeded off 1/4 of an acre of land in the back of his pasture, bought a small local built used tiny house, and got it all set up, for his son to live in.
to everyone of the jw's in this area really look up to him and his stand on having nothing to do with his df'ed kid's or grandkids.

Yep in a cong I am very familiar with is a long time elder whose daughter got baptised and went inactive and under the radar long enough so that when her fornication and pregnancy came to light she didn't get dealt with judicially.
She lives in the cong. territory with her partner and son right across the road from a DA'd jw. Daddy the elder goes to visit from time to time.
Just imagine on a summers evening as he ignores the DA'd lady in her garden but embraces his baptised daughter who is "living in sin".
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Another elder had an adult son who was baptised and who went inactive and similarly he (the son) would visit the elder and associate from time to time.
Now I'm happy they associate with each other but not when the same elders will shun others who have done no different to their kids but have not been protected by legalistic loopholes by daddy not reporting his kids when he would have almost certainly known what they were up to much earlier than it otherwise came to light.
You know - the elder who would have camped outside the "son of single mom's" house to catch him out, but who buried his head when it came to his own offspring.
Pair of shits is how I would describe them.

Doubter the Spouter -
You mean the study version.
Don't forget the
SimpletonSimplified version of the study WT goes the way of the Dodo at the end of 2018 and the mainstream one will be made "more readily understandable" (to simpletons). -

Sparrowdown said "Personally I think the best way to expose JWs to the wider population is by comedy and satire."
Yes that's true - except to have comedy work the audience needs to understand the subject - so comedy and satire can work on those JW's themselves who are becoming increasingly embarrassed at JW policies and conduct. It can also work to make JW's and their door knocking and cart work appear irrelevant and pointless and embarrassing.
For the wider population you need to expose their wicked policies more seriously such as enforced shunning, covering over child abuse to save face and dollars and the death-dealing blood issue.
So apostates exposing these awful policies in the media is a very good way to highlight the flaws in the JW cult and inoculate more and more from joining them.
As for doubter the spouter he/she seems as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

Do You Think President Trump Will Be Impeached?

do you think he will be impeached?

Getting all heated up to defend Donald Trump is very strange.
It's like getting all heated up to defend Hillary Clinton.
One of them will feed your desire to make the country safer by keeping out the "wrong" type of foreigner the other will feed your desire to make the country safer by embracing the "right" type of foreigner.
Neither of them will do much to make your life better.
Go and support a football team - at least you can join a tribe, get drunk and chant at opposing fans.

And welcome Sara too.
Ask away. Carefully research the answers and make sure that what you are told here rings true.
After a lifetime of being a jw - MS then an Elder for over 25 years and now inactive/faded - I can tell you that you will get honest helpful experienced advice and support on this forum.
But I still ask that you check us out thoroughly. Unlike at the kingdom hall when those "nice" ladies with their "nice" smiles hear you have doubts and concerns that they cannot address, we want you to be sure of the accuracy of our claims.
