Hahaha their ancestors were kidnapped and enslaved and forced to purge their pagan ways (including their language) and embrace Jesus and English in order to advance European/Anglo-American empire. And they still speak English so funny. It's cute. Hahahaha." 🤔🤔🤔

I think you'll find there are no descendants of slaves on the Solomon islands. These melanesian and Polynesian folks ancestors' found their way to the islands with incredible navigational skill all on their own (using their balls in the water to detect cold/warmer currents indicating land mass, too!).

If Watchtower was really interested in translation they would do so in to the many tribal languages. It's as absurd as translating English in to English with a heavy SCOTTISH ACCENT!!!

Mummy issa good-good obey-im big daddi

*we are making fun of the fact it's not a language that requires translation. Watchtower does so to increase their "look how many languages we translate in to" bragging rights.

That is what is so absurd.

Louise Palmer: British Parliament to bring up the two witness rule

by Diogenesister in

So Mike and Kim have the UK radio broadcast where they talk about the MP bringing up Watchtower CSA issues in parliament. In fact they interview Marc and Cora Latham about it. Just thought I'd post the broadcast here if anyone is interested. Apparently the radio show was inundated with responses to their initial broadcast discussing the issue.

Certainly no one in the UK at least who has any contact with our press can fail to know now about jw's and their widespread peadophile issue. It's going to kill the D2D/cart ministry, the public are now forewarned.

Xanthippe This Charities Commission enquiry into whether the JWs should have their charity status removed and start paying tax because of their appalling child safeguarding record has been going on since 2013! It's time the government stepped in!

Wonder if this happens, Xanthippe, whether they will move all UK operations elsewhere in order to avoid as much taxable income in the UK as possible? Leaving just local, legally autonomous Kingdom Halls?

Maybe someone knowledgeable could comment?

If this happens I believe the already shrinking, UK Witness population will rapidly go into a really terminal decline.

Let J.W.'s keep their "two-witnesses" rule..................

by The Fall Guy in

................for all their sinners - but make it mandatory that all j.w.

alleged criminals are promptly reported to the relevant authorities.

problem solved.

Diogenesister

Trying to pin them down on non-reporting is very difficult as they lie about it, deny it and cover it up.

The reason we focus on the two witness rule is because we have them on record, and in print, that they will take an allegation of CSA no further due to this policy.

It also leads to victims being silenced within the community and/or being forced to face their abuser.

The real issue is Witness Culture of no individual's suffering being more important than the reputation of the organization.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this fella in his “sleepingbag on the beach in Marseillan Plage” building websites...
Did the Jehovahs offer to charge your laptop battery or bring you a generator? That would have been swell of them. You gotta be careful not to get beach sand in your keyboard. It makes the keys stick.
I was thinking about doing some website building on the beach myself, can you give me a tip on what kind of connection you find best. I was going to buy a 1000ft piece of fiber but I still need some hardware with that.

He used to be on a beach in a sleeping bag - he didn't say he is now - you're obviously not too good at reading comprehension.

I know we get our fair share of true blue conservatives on this site, but surely you must know that it's possible for hippies to become successful? I'm sure Richard Branson slept on his fair share of beaches when he was young.

And even if he doesn't become a website designer...even the homeless can dream, can they not? Or are dreams only for rich, privileged kids now?

Fantastic news! Louise Palmer, the lass recently interviewed by a major British newspaper and a CSA survivor, has tweeted the following:

What a busy couple of days! But great news, it looks like the ridiculous “Two Witness Rule” Will be raised in parliament in a few weeks time! #NoMoreSilence #AgainstCSE #ForTheKids

You can catch it on Twitter @loopyloupalmer

All credit goes to Louise for her brave stand in waiving her right to anonymity in order to expose Watchtower's evil two witness rule. Her abuser was given a 15 year sentence reduced to 10, and the link to her story was posted on here a few days ago by our own Darkspilver.

If you want to try and reason with them

Good for you!

If you want to just get on with your life

Good for you!

To each, their own. We have all suffered enough to have the right to do what feels best!

Dorian, or Through the Looking Glass

by compound complex in

jw
friends

unmovable, i stand motionless; it is not chains that bind me.. my eyes, fixed steadily upon cheerful passersby on the street below, peer through darkly transparent curtains.

in contrast to my languid self, these happy souls are at peace with the world.

not so long ago, i was a companion to all, democratic in the society i kept.

Diogenesister

As beautiful as Dorian Grey is,

I think, of all the books that Oscar Wilde wrote, the one that reminds the most of being a witness, ANY Witness, is "The Little Prince".

I love Oscar Wildes children stories. I think those 7 men should read ' The selfish Giant' and they may get a better idea of Jesus. Don't you?

1975... the year that keeps on giving.

by silentbuddha in

so i recently moved back to my really really really small hometown in the south.

it was the place that my parents moved to from a major city up north in the early 1970's.

when we lived here times were very tough financially and i was always told that the reason we did not attend meetings was due to the fact that we had no car / no gas for the car / could not afford repairs for the years we were there.

Fisherman, dear Fishy Show me where in the Bible it says anything about 1914, or 1919 when Watchtower ( or that crook Rutherford) was supposedly chosen by Jesus.

And if you try to bring up Daniel, you do know that Jews consider the book of Daniel as " writings" don't you? With the song of Solomon, it's considered a fictional story, it didn't happen. Not historical at all - by the guys that wrote it.

And they should know. They are the ones that put the books of the OT together, in 300BC. In fact many Jews only consider the Tanakh as sacred. Some historians query when/if the OT was put together at all by ancient Jews.
