  Glad the parents notified the police.

  Hopefully the elders didn't give them a hassle for doing so

  So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?

  by Simon in

  2. current

  it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.

  i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?

  ... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

  He has offended ALL women , Let alone anyone that cant pass.

  Broad generalizations don't play. YOU may have been offended, but millions of others obviously weren't, they voted for him!

  Here's the thing Ritchie...it really doesn't matter if the victims win or not, if this firm and their allies go full target on the JWs.

  Sure, I'd like them to win, mainly for the victims sake, and secondly to force WT to REPORT to the police immediately from now on so potentially THOUSANDS of innocent children aren't hurt in the future.

  But even if they don't, this is ALL OUT WAR on the Watchtower, and their name is going to be drug through the mud for the next several years.

  The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

  I was thinking the same thing Crazyguy...

  Total speculation but I wonder if attorneys who work with Irwin Zalkin have info on the "pedo list". If that thing comes out then we are going to see thousands of accused names splashed across the internet. That could prompt many to finally come forward.

  Winnesses of ME (Jesus)...Acts 1:8...NOT Winnesses of Jehovah

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so jesus said in acts 1:8 .... you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you,+ and you will be witnesses+ of me in jerusalem,+ in all ju·deʹa and sa·marʹi·a,+ and to the most distant part* of the earth.. .

  witnesses of jesus and not jehovah.

  so i was a witness for years.

  Check some of Searchers threads if you really want your mind blown. Literally dozens of scriptures that all apply to Jesus, while all along you thought they were about the other big J

  Extremely interesting development. Looks like BIG GUNS are sniffing around the WT closet. Check out the about us page

  http://www.childsexabuse.org/about-us/

  Also interesting the only tab on that site is about JWs

  http://www.childsexabuse.org/perpetrators/jehovahs-witness/

  Does anyone know exactly which memo they are referring to about not contacting the police/resulting in punishment? Would be around 91-92 if that 25 year time frame noted is accurate.

  Any updates on Vaping?

  by longgone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if the gb has forbidden vaping yet, so i did a search.

  there was a thread from a year ago, the comments covered all the bases i suspected the wt would come up with.

  i'm out, so it doesn't really matter to me.

  The old codgers that run this show are reactive, not proactive. What vaping is may or may not have even reached them, via mailed in reports from COs across the land.

  Its been like this forever. I was listening to rap music as a teen in the late 80s forever, stuff like NWA. I was shocked back then at how long it took for them to put out some sort of article against that stuff.

  Old white guys living with Yes Men around them aren't up on things in the real world.

  How do you categorise the Society - Cult or High control religion

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have often seen many categorise the organisation in different ways.

  some say cult, some say high control religion.

  cult or high control religion?.

  I think its semantics. It only matters when your audience is sensitive. To a JW, the last thing you want to say is "That cult" or "You're in a cult" as it will shut them down immediately. Saying high control group is the way to approach it in that case.

  Individual Duds absolutely cannot learn the "truth" on their own"???

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why is it that i understand the bible more clearly today then all my years in the organization (jw)???

  ?many religious people believe the average person cannot understand the bible..maybe the reasons (1) they may have tried to study the bible and found it difficult, so they gave up.

  (2) maybe they believe truth is subjective;so whatever you believe,that is truth for you.

  If you studied the bible on your own, you'd never come up with "overlapping generations" from 1914, blood fractions are a-OK and you shouldn't turn in suspected child molesters to the police.

  So yes, "the truth" can only come from delusional men making shit up with the bible as a background prop.
