  Suppose 4rationality is legally correct and the Borg wins its appeal.
  
  That changes nothing about how evil and morally culpable the local elders and the Watchtower Society are. If 4rationality believes in Jehovah, he/she really ought to be afraid for the eternal salvation of his/her beloved "brothers." Any just God will destroy them.

  A sensible fix for the Jehovah's Witness "two witness rule" when dealing with child sex abuse

  by Watchtower-Free in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  jehovah's witnesses could retain their two witness rule for internal judicial.

  congregation matters .

  but in the case of a child abuse allegation they should .

  Answer to all those "lets keep secrets" scriptures above:
  
  1 Peter 2: 13-17:
  13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. 16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.

  It's especially disgusting to pawn off the responsibility on the secular authorities when they KEEP THE PEDOPHILE'S SECRET from the secular authorities.

  If you can see it, it isn't subliminal. It's just an easter egg.

  Drops in any other stats lately? I haven't been keeping track.
  
  I wonder if the decrease in the west has had any influence on them deciding to push the website so much.

  Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

  they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

  " the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

  redvip2000, they're greedy because as a business, that's simply what they do. The religion is a cult. The Watchtower is a business. The Watchtower's business is to manage a religious cult in which the members sacrifice ALL to the business.

  JW. org: "No, we are not a cult. We do not look to any human as our leader."

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know this has been rehashed, time and again, but i saw this interesting blip on jw.org last night, and did a little thinking about it.... jw.

  org answers the important question that so many have... are jehovah's witnesses a cult?.

  jehovah's witnesses do not look to any human as their leader.
