But is anybody in the cult going to be required to obtain a Working with Children Check or will they continue to hide behind the claim that they don't work with children?

The best chance of preventing an attack by NK is to convince them that nobody will launch a preemptive strike and that they will benefit by backing off.

Trump has inherited a problem that previous presidents failed to deal with. So far he is being led by his ego rather than by diplomacy.

Brother & Sisters, Aunts and Uncles.....husband and wife

by menrov in

was just thinking about the practice in wt (and i believe some other religions as well) to call your fellow female (baptized) jw a sister, a brother if it is a man.

children call older people aunt or uncle.

so, at home, i can call my wife by her first name etc.

The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name

by slimboyfat in

jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.

but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .

i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

Imagine a man beating up a child in the street and you walk on by reassuring yourself that if only everybody acted like JWs these sort of things would never happen.

This is the moral cowardice you are trying to sell as a virtue.

If everyone had acted as he did there would have been no war and no Holocaust. - SBF

But that didn't happen. The churches in Germany supported Hitler - shame on them.

There was a holocaust and JWs did absolutely nothing to stop it - shame on them.

the record of JWs refusing to kill each other as other religions do is impressive - SBF

Actually their neutrality is not impressive it is shameful.

When JWs opted out of WWII that was morally reprehensible.

Fascism is evil. It could only be defeated through war. Chamberlain proved that beyond doubt. The moral thing to do would have been for JWs to fight against the Nazis regardless of what country they belonged to.

A meaningful comparison is not between JWs and the Christian churches of Germany, but between JWs and the Christian churches who supported the war effort against Hitler.

The churches who supported the Allies were morally superior to the cowards who hid behind neutrality.
