the jehovah’s witnesses have sued the dutch state for discrimination, the religious organization informed trouw.
they consider it discriminatory that the government investigated them, but no other religious organization, for their handling of sexual abuse cases.. utrecht university conducted the investigation involved, following publications in trouw in which sexual abuse victims within the jehovah’s witnesses described what happened to them, and published the results in january 2020. utrecht university concluded that 60 percent of sexual abuse victims were very critical of how the jehovah’s witnesses handled their cases, scoring the handling a 1 out of 10. many victims were traumatized by how things were handled, the researchers said.. sander dekker, then the minster for legal protection, ordered the investigation at parliament’s insistence because the jehovah’s witnesses failed to arrange an investigation themselves, as the catholic church did at the time with the deetman commission.. the jehovah’s witnesses cooperated in the utrecht university investigation but unsuccessfully tried to stop the publication of its results.
....from the sound of today's text Dec 13,,, expect the $heeples to follow ""strange instructions"".
Like selling everything you have,, & give all your money,,wills & estates to the borg.
If someone has todays text,,,can they please upload it.
They're talking about it on Reddit,,,it seems pretty creepy cringe.😬
did rutherford have any "prophetic" justification for 1919 as the date that jesus declared him (ahem, the wt organisation) the fds?
such as some calculation attached to 1914?
that in 1919, jesus would come looking for his true organisation?.
I don't know who out there has,,or can post today's text. Wednesday,December 13th,2023 days text.
I hear and saw it over on Reddit. It seems really cringe & cult worthy.
as the title says i'm having a total hip replacement on monday.
the pain has grown over the years and now i'm using a cane to walk.
after steroid injections and physical therapy, it was decided that a total hip replacement is appropriate.
Best wishes Great Teacher.
the difference is now blatantly obvious, older ones who went against direction of the gb and planned for retirement have relatively more comfortable lives.. those who trusted and followed gb direction never got further education or training, pioneered or spent most of their lives knocking on doors for free, making just enough to get by in a part time job.. if you followed direction from the gb then you thought the end was just around the corner so no need to plan for retirement.. now these ones have indeed got old which they were given the impression they never would.
they are a burden on others.
the state has to pay for them in their old age.
Thats because further education enhances & develops critical thinking skills.
And getting a good job with educated people you are going to develop friends with good communication skills. And discover that ""worldly"" people are NOT so what the Borg says they are.
You realize what the Borg taught you could be......B.S.
as it’s nearly the new year my prediction over the next decade or so will see the sense of urgency dwindle.
then some huge huge changes.
for example by 2034 in a decades time, they will have address the 1914 issue and will come out and say we can’t be dogmatic.
I dont think they can scrap 1914.
It will be mentioned less,,less,,less & less...
Until it fades away and is forgotten.
Thats why everything is online so the Borg can reinvent itself.
i remember knowing that jcs would ask very personal questions about sex activities.

Biahi....wow!
Thats just something else. Not really surprised.

Yes. It was more important for the borg to ""stick with tradition"".
What happened when Carl Olaf Jonson did his research,,,could have collapsed the Borg.
Ultimately his disfellowshipping.

PhiZzy;
Thats whats so alarming & puzzling, disturbing about the Borg stubbornly adhering to the 607BCE --1914 AD dilemma.
They knew it was wrong!
And they admitted it. I even read that in Crisis of Conscience. Fred Franz knew 607 was a dud,, he admitted it and wanted to ""stick with tradition"
Thats the reason Carl Olaf Jonson & Raymond Franz booted. Well more so for Carl,, Ray was found eating with Gregerson.
But anyway the Borg was aware 607 was a dud,,,& independent research would crumble the Borg!!
If 607bce and 1914 were in fact,,proven to be false.
what if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?
perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?
or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?
Sadly,,,many are institutionalized by the Borg like in Shawshank.
They would be like a chicken with its head cut off.
What could be a traumatic event for hardcore,longtimers.
They wont know up from down or who to turn to,,after having their thinking done for decades.
