  Do you think the GB ever mentions these abuse cases directly?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the title says it all, do you think that the gb will ever bring up these cases in their literature or in a talk?

  i'm not talking about them just mentioning "persecution" i'm talking about actually bringing up child abuse cases and trying to justify it.. or will it just remain the elephant in the room until years have passed?.

  VISIBILITY

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  breakfast of champions mentioned this on the elder appointment thread and it struck a chord with me.. is this term big in bethel?

  obviously nothing in my bible says a thing about being 'seen' in serve-us or in other jw activities, but a long time bethelite went off on a visibility tirade that i remember distinctly during special servants/elders meeting when i was in.

  i remember at the time thinking that the big j-dog in the heavens sees everything, so why the big fuss over the rank and file seeing us do stuff for the big j-dog?.

  tunnistaja.ee - Its about use of the phrase "being visible" which isn't mentioned (as far as I know) in their literature. Its a buzzword/catch phrase used by certain elders to encourage behavioural control. Its not enough to just report 10-15 hours of field service, you have to be seen to be considered a spiritual man. And of course Jesus advice was to actually not be visible in your spiritual activity! Ironic much?

  What I'm asking is if this phrase is used frequently at Bethel, and if other JWs have heard it a lot in other congos.

  Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

  after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

  i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

  On a more serious note, this isn't as much of an issue in the world as the Watchtower makes it out to be. Sure some people hate their job, so they change there job as soon as they can.

  But when you are stuck in a certain segment of the workforce as JWs are because education is a no-no, after a few decades you start tiring of the same old shit.

  leave it in jehovah's hands.

  is there a more disgusting phrase in jw land?.

  the abuse, harms, thefts, suicides, family destruction - leave it in jehovah's hands.. why would anyone with a more than 2 neurons say, "oh that makes sense," we do not need to change or intervene in any way.. sooner or later, god will take of things.. .

  A disgusting phrase used by cowards who often fail to protect innocent victims.

  Isn't there even a phrase in the Elder book when discussing an accusation of child molestion where they state "Leave the matter in Jehovah's hands" if there isnt a second witness? COWARDS!

  my name is louie and i'm seeking some help regarding a paper i need to write for a class.

  it is meant to be an individual study project regarding a faith that is different from your own and intrigues you.

  what i am asking is for someone who is willing to answer 10-15 questions regarding their faith.

  What are the most important lessons other people can receive from Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  They are far more dangerous and destructive then their shiny outward appearance would ever indicate.
