What I don't understand is if a priest or Elder is told by the victim (or victims parents) they've been abused, there's absolutely nothing stopping that priest or Elder going to the police anyway!!
That's not a "confession" because a victim has no sin or crime to confess - it's just the report of a crime!!
Someone please tell me if I have this wrong?!
🤦♀️this 25 million different languages thing is getting ridiculous.
this link is hilarious!
they've only gone and translated into jamaican patois and boy this isn't just translation, they're literally using slang....what next?
OH 😂😂 exactly! What's with the "Gods boy pikni come ina di worl fe mash up de devil wok."
That's Jesus!
Calling Jesus a "boy Piccaninny" is NOT going to go down well with Jamaican church ladies😱More L's for the Watchtower🤦♀️
this image is from "the watchtower" july 2024 (study edition):i can't figure out what that object is that is between the sleeping apostles.wath is it?
a stick, a scroll of the scriptures?
....
If you know this:
Finished M. It is said that the human mind has a tendency to see patterns even when they're not really there.
Then why conclude this?:
F.M. it's got to be demonic forces changing the digital art somewhere along the way before it goes to print
I can't see any faces in the background and as per the story, like Nathan Natas I would assume it's a (poorly drawn) sword (doesn't look that much like a willy) but I think it does look far more like a scripture scroll🤷♀️

LV101 Good thing her father was a non-witness or they never would have had the sports opportunity/financial success.
Exactly!
She's clearly not the most logical thinker of all time.
this is a court case filed in august 2021 by the zalkin law firm.
deborah hines vs watchtower and the governing body.. what's interesting is;.
"ny already set a precedent that an unincorporated group can be sued for its action and has specifically said this case can move forward.
My god though, what that child endured. 😢
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Thisismein1972 So I just received this in my email. Has he been any help...No.
Oh no don't tell me he's getting references from people so he can apply for a visa for the US or somewhere as a 'cult expert' or 'therapist'🤦♀️If so, he really isn't someone who should be working with vulnerable people!
i think i may be moving on shortly.
i officially joined this web-site 12 years ago as pimo about to exit the organisation.
i had spent about a year before that, as just a none commenting member.
I've sent to a message Joe123cd
Why do I feel sad when people move on? I should feel happy for you, that things have worked out and you feel confident enough to move on up😀
(Boy I have abandonment issues alright!😂)
I really wish you the very best Joe, whatever you do ❤️

in the march 2025 jw broadcast david splane in his morning worship talk mentioned that "some thought" that armageddon would come 40 years after 1914. such statements are usually meant to shift the blame of their own false predictions on to their members for speculating.
however, i was unable to find anything in print showing that such a thing was indeed taught by the society.
was this really a thing?.
I've never heard of that date, Jerome. But maybe some of our more senior or long time members may have heard of it?The only thing related to Watchtower and 1954 that I could find was the Douglas Walsh trial in Scotland, where Fred Franz was found to be unable to translate a Bible verse into Hebrew.
However I don't trust David Splane and I wouldn't put it past him to either arrogantly get the date wrong, but refuse to correct it, or use a false date to throw people off.
i swear, you can't make this shit up!
for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.
" of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.
😂😂another daft GB name! Judy? "Can be a boys name"? Yeah if you think that...I knew a Boy named Sue, too!
NB Marion is an old Polish name and it's MariON not MariAN.
