  I am working on a video montage of all the times one of the JWs being questioned is unable to give an answer to a question. "I don't recall." "I can't remember." "I don't know how to answer that." etc.
  
  If you are watching and notice that happening, please post which video and the time it appears: June 27, Part Two, 24:46, for example. I have downloaded all the videos so far and just need to weed through them. Even using the printed transcripts it has proved time consuming so far, so help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  Biblical Proof that JW Elders can not have Jehovah's or Jesus Spirit

  by GodZoo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something just occured to me.. like a lightening bolt in fact.

  matthew 10:19 just popped into my head... new american standard bible 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the gentiles.

  19 "but when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

  I'd love to see a video montage of these elders bumbling through their obfuscating answers with the quoted scripture from the New World Translation in big bold letters on the screen. In fact, if I have time, I think I'll start working on that.

  Governing body: guilty

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the landmark insights about the abuse of children in the australian part of jw.org are catastrophic for the jw.org governing body and their supporting staff-members.. the governing body and the legal department are the only witnesses fully aware of the worldwide impact of this problem in relation with the organizational rules to protect the corporations.. these people openly deny the facts, like david h. splane, gerrit losch and antony morris iii recently did.

  they openly lie about the crimes, supported by legal and writing staff.. it makes them all guilty and responsible.

  they all have to step down.

  I predict very little will change in the Borg.

  Maybe some victims who have been silenced will stand up for themselves after realizing they're not alone and not isolated cases. Internally, I don't expect any significant changes.

  Today I reversed preached to JW's about the scandal in Australia

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so today a friend recommended that i ask the witnesses about the news in australia.

  i am in mexico, in a city called mazatlan.. two weeks ago i talked with some jw's on the cart about the septuagint and the different bible versions.

  so we had had a decently amicable conversation back then (i have never admitted i was a jw).. so today i saw them again, same place, same time.

  She may not be lying saying she'd go to the authorities. I think most JWs would have that same reaction. . . UNTIL they spoke to the elders first, who would lean on them for prudence and discretion and trust in Jehovah to handle things. At that point the JW would either capitulate and fall into line, or her faith in the Borg would begin to crack.

  Will Child Abuse Issue Keep Growing Like A Forest Fire?

  i don't know if a commercial will come up and i can't find this on youtube as it is probably copyright material or i am just not in a good search pattern today.

  anyway, try to view this if you haven't seen it:.

  Anything that slows their growth, helps more victims, and protects more people from becoming victims is a good thing. If ONE person stops studying, it's a win. And these things often end up with dozens if not hundreds of people leaving the Borg. Mass exodus? Perhaps not. Still, baby steps...

  Regarding part four of Wednesday's proceedings, I am just beginning to listen to it and Mr. Davies interestingly chooses NOT to swear on a Bible before testifying.
  
  EDIT - He's an attorney, not a JW. That's why. :)

  Is it just me or is Bowditch dumber than a rock?
  I get that you're hard of hearing and need things repeated. But even when he understands the words he doesn't seem to comprehend the questions.
  
  Also, I really dislike the way BCG's attorney phrases questions. She doesn't really ask anything - she just poses a lengthy proposition with the addendum, "would you agree?" The chief justice is probably the best in the room for cutting to the heart of things.

  FMF Rant on Abuse and JW Apologists: The Single Root of the Whole Issue(s)

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  for the jw apologists, they debate certain factors to down play all the recent sex abuse information in the jehovah's witness organization.

  and there is so much focus on "two witness rule" and "parents can report" the "elders aren't legal authorities" and many other smoke screen issues.

  a lot of these issues and discussion are down stream from what i believe to be the root of the issue.

  Justice: "Is it appropriate?" (forcing a young woman to describe sexual details to three MEN who are friends of her father)

  Elder: "There might be a better way of doing it."
  Justice: "What is that better way?"
  Elder: "I don't know." (aka. I'm not allowed to think of stuff like that and remain an elder in good standing)
