Many probably know (and I'm sure resent it) that I still believe JW's carry a large measure of truth. I feel I've defended it eloquently here. However one of the reasons I stopped going a couple years ago is because I felt we lack in the "abuse" area.

Court denies summary judgement for Laurel Jehovah's Witnesses congregation
by OrphanCrow incourt denies summary judgement for laurel jehovah's witnesses congregation.
a motion for summary judgement is denied in a case against the laurel congregation of jehovah's witnesses and some individuals over child abuse reporting issues.a lawyer for the congregation maintained that elders were exempted from reporting requirements under a state law because of clergy privilege and confidentiality.the case resulted from allegations that elders did not report an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were members of the jehovah's witnesses congregation.. download the court opinion here.

Lost all credibility with the childish antic background sounds.
You sound like you still have some JDub on your face. I am sorry but the childish noises do not overpower the pure fail coming from the governing body member's mouths!
Can BM make the video without the "childish noises" so these people with ADHD can focus on the fail?
Chillax. I dont go to meetings anymore but nothing Ive read or seen has swayed me to belive they are evil. I know that many here cry "trolls", "apologists" and "J-Dub showing". Again, childish.

TTATT is was coined by atheists & anti-jw's. Consider the source and take it with a grain of salt. Just like the org is not gospel neither is this site. -

General health after learning TTATT
by Darkknight757 in4 months ago i was conducting the watchtower study along with a long list of responsibilities that come with being an elder in a very goofy congregation.
during this time my health was going down hill.
i've always had a low blood pressure,(102/65 or abouts) but for the past year it had creeped up to 135/90 range.. so 2 months ago after learning ttatt, i'm still considered an elder because the brothers won't let me step down, but i haven't done anything in that time except comment once at a meeting a few weeks ago.

Honestly, Did Jehovah's Witnesses Do Anything POSITIVE For You?
by minimus ini was raised as a witness and am very thankful that i am out.
having said that, i think my upbringing produced positive qualities in me.
do you believe that anything positive came from your being a witness?

Yes. Several things.
Public speaking
More personable
Made bible easier to read
Kept my family together
Helped me live within my means
And more.

"Even if it isn't the truth, it's still the best way to live"
by Simon inhave you heard that old chestnut?
i have.. typically it's the last resort when you have dismantled a jws beliefs and they have no way of defending them.
they know they are beat so they come out with that one.. its effectively an admission that you are right and they have no argument but they are still going to attend meetings because they like the social club.. what a lame way to defend your faith..

I believe the reference encompasses more than just the JW creed. It is towards biblical living in general.
PS:Is it ok to disagree with the admin of this forum? Or do I have to roast "chestnuts" on the fire too?

What are the biggest holes in evolution?
by shadow inhow honest are the proponents of evolution?
idk but curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?

Evolution vs creation is singlehandedly the stupidest conversations on this forum. NO one can prove or disprove either and a measure of faith in scientists or a creator is necessary. This debate will rage on till Armageddon, whether that be by mankinds destruction of his environment and each other or by a creator.
Newsflash, it wont be solved on this forum now or ever.
G'day

Does everyone really think JW org will just disappear? Don't hold your breath. With 100 years of momentum, children to be baptized and fresh marketing it can withstand self and non-self imposed onslaughts. Such is life.
