The witness list for the Royal Commission will make all the blame shifting backfire!

1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
so i just looked at the witness list and was pleasantly surprised when i saw who will be "forced" to attend the court.. right now the elders are saying that; they just do as they are told, "it is not our fault/responsibility".

we just do what the service/legal department tells us, etc.. but people who have the responsibility are not out of reach this time.. rodney spinks: jehovahs witness and member of the service department, watchtower bible & tract society of australia .

vincent toole: jehovahs witness, solicitor, and overseer of the legal department, watchtower bible & tract society of australia.

How to get JWs to listen and REALLY think about TTATT...
by C0ntr013r in
1. jw
2. experiences
i have been trying to discuss and reason with jws about their beliefs for some time now and it usually ends in "agree to disagree".

i just don't feel like i am getting anywhere, they get their guard up super easy and will dismiss anything no matter how logical or factual.. so the other day i tried another tactic, instead of arguing for another point of view i started to agree with them.

this made them much more talkative and open, their guard went away somewhat.

Are JWs trying to make dysfunctional kids and destroy their ability to live normal lives?
by C0ntr013r in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
are jws trying to make dysfunctional kids that wont "fit" in normal society so they will "return to jehovah"?

because there have been many stories about young people who have been out in the world only to find how bad it was and how correct the org was.. a good jw kid with "good" jw parents will have many big issues, some examples:.

fear of demons (fear, misfit).

What Jehovah can't do...

2. beliefs
during the rc today i heard this(i am paraphrasing and translating):.

"jehovah has created the physical universe for us.

he is a spirit and he can't enjoy physical things so he created it for us alone.
