So those two Jack-holes bought their own clothes
and from what can be observed they made a poor style choice.
Bro. Morris the III would not be pleased at seeing those overly tight trousers!

Infant baptism in the JW religion, why is it harmful to young ones
by oppostate inbaptism for young jw's is not the same as that practiced by other denominations, and it carries a lot of potential for harm.
getting baptized as a young person in association with the jw organization is harmful to young ones who as they are maturing, wish to exit from the clutches of this captive religion.. when you see young ones, such as the one in the photo below, get baptized, doesn't your heart just sink, knowing the jw religion has caught another victim in its web of deception and abuse?.

Jehovah's Witnesses 'ordered destruction' of notes which could have been used during child sexual abuse inquiry
- 06:21, 7 FEB 2016
- BY HUW SILK
A former church elder in South Wales has claimed the church has gone against the request made by Judge Lowell Goddard
Judge Lowell Goddard is leading the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual AbuseThe Jehovah’s Witnesses have been accused of ordering the destruction of documents in direct contradiction of an order not to do so from a major child sexual abuse inquiry.
Religious organisations, as well as schools, colleges and other institutions, have been told by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse – led by Judge Lowell Goddard – to keep hold of any documents which could be useful to the investigation.
A request sent out to the bodies last year stated measures should be taken “to ensure that everything of potential relevance to the Inquiry is retained”.
Jehovah’s Witness elders hear allegations against members of the congregation and record what is said.
We have seen a copy of an edict distributed to Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations around the UK ordering the destruction of “all agendas and minutes of elders’ meetings (other than business meeting minutes)”, “all personal notes taken at elders’ meetings (except those based on discussions of outlines from ‘the faithful and discreet slave’ and that do not mention any particular individual)” and “any other personal records, notes, or correspondence that refer to particular individuals”.
'Not transparent'
Referring to the congregation file the edict also says all agendas of elders’ meetings should be destroyed and that Congregation Service Committees should “make sure all records relating to child molestation are in harmony”.
And one former senior church elder from South Wales, who has been a Jehovah’s Witness for more than half a century, said the revelations put the church directly at odds with the request of the independent inquiry.

He said: “The fact is there are dangers within the Jehovah’s Witnesses as there are within other organisations – but whereas I see other organisations taking steps to conform with child safety it seems the Jehovah’s Witnesses are going the other way. They are still trying to keep it in-house and not making it transparent.”
He added: “Under the present rules all personal documents, aides-memoire, agendas and notes are to be destroyed. That will mean in future that if they are approached by police Jehovah’s Witnesses could say they don’t remember anything.
New Zealand High Court judge Justice Lowell Goddard“This seems a backward step, particularly in the light of Judge Lowell Goddard’s request that, so victims can be helped in bringing justice to abusers, all organisations must keep what they can to assist.
'Ignored' judge's request
“Why, when an organisation says it abhors child abuse, would it go and destroy documents that can assist in bringing a child abuser to justice?
“The evidence I have experienced is a clamming up, a shutting down, and a silence of almost an obstructive nature to police investigations.
“They are saying they send this out regularly but Judge Lowell Goddard has said not to – so why haven’t they instructed the elders and said that although they usually do this but this year we won’t because we want to follow this request?
“They say it’s what they have always done but we have got to change what we have always done.”
Karen Morgan, a victim of sex abuse by church elder Mark Sewell, who was once an elder in the congregation in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, also criticised the move.

She said: “At the time of my case the police were told there was no paperwork relating to my case as it had been destroyed. This paperwork would have contained all documented evidence from the many meetings with elders.
“Despite knowing the importance of these papers the governing body seem to be deliberately instructing their elders not to keep them.
Church 'committed' to helping victims
“This only confirms my view that the governing body are more interested in protecting their image than caring about the victims.”
Disgraced businessman Sewell was jailed in 2014 after being convicted of a total of eight sex charges.
A spokesman for the church said: “We are committed to doing all we can to prevent child abuse and to provide spiritual comfort to any who have suffered from this terrible sin and crime.”
Speaking about the leaked edict the spokesman added: “The document... is simply an annual reminder sent to congregation trustees encouraging them to follow standard procedures so as to meet their responsibilities under data protection and other legislation.”
The spokesman also said: “Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse and view it as a heinous crime and sin. The safety of our children is of the utmost importance.

“For decades our journals The Watchtower and Awake!, as well as our website jw.org, have featured articles for both Jehovah’s Witnesses and the general public on how to protect children from abuse.
Cover-up claim 'absolutely false'
“We have no paid clergy. Congregation elders comply with child-abuse reporting laws and with the data protection principles contained in the Data Protection Act 1998. (Romans 13:1) They provide abuse victims and their families with spiritual comfort from the Bible. (Isaiah 32:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:14)
“The victim and his or her parents have the absolute right to report the matter to the governmental authorities. (Galatians 6:5) Congregation elders do not shield abusers from the authorities or from the consequences of their actions. (Galatians 6:7)
“Anyone who commits the sin of child abuse faces expulsion from the congregation. If such a person is serving in a position of responsibility he is removed. Any suggestion that Jehovah’s Witnesses cover up child abuse is absolutely false."
A spokesperson for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse said: “The chair has stated that the inquiry will investigate abuse in religious settings (including all faiths and religious traditions) and issued a letter giving notice of retention/non-destruction of documents to the leaders of 18 prominent religious organisations.”

I like strawberries, especially so with ice-cream, but they don't seem to like me. They make my tongue itch.
They also smell sort of funny to me like acetone or something. On second thought I'll just have the ice-cream and let's hold the strawberries.

The truth about the Truth is that the WT Society doesn't teach the truth about its history and that it places a man's organization between God and human-kind, since its Governing Body teaches it is the only channel on Earth that leads to a relationship with God it denies the role of Jesus Christ as a mediator for all humans. TTATT means that the WT misrepresents itself and seeks to control people's lives with false pretenses.
And for believers in Christ: Jesus said he was the truth and the way and the life, and anyone who wants to reach out to the Father can do so through his name and can become a Spiritual child of God. TTATT means that Jesus Christ is the mediator for all believers and not a man-made organization.

Book Review: The Watchtower Society, Organizational Misbehavior
by johnny depp inthis is the way crisis of conscience should have been written.
finally, a book written on the watchtower society by someone who actually knows how to write!
after reading the subheading, “the psychology of jehovah’s witnesses,” (pages 160–182), i have abandoned the belief that we have an “unconscious,” and will never again consult any psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor.

Witnesses killed my friend today.
by WasOnceBlind intoday has been a horrible day.

i was in shock and didn't ask how.

I'm so sorry to hear of this needless tragedy--my condolences and sympathy.
If the figures are correct and one in a thousand JW moms die giving birth that's eight thousand (8,000!) needless deaths they are responsible for.
These Governing Body Seven have blood on their hands by allowing these idiotic doctrines of Joseph Rutherford to be taught as God's requirements. May the weight of their error fall upon them!
