“parents train your children to love jehovah “.
the title says it all really, but par 6 has this piece of advice.. “jesus likened our time to “the days of noah,” and there is no doubt that we are living in “critical times hard to deal with.” (matt.

I was drawn into "The Truth" and baptized in 1986 while dating my JW high school girlfriend. 🙄
The title of an article from 3/1/88 Watchtower is indelibly etched in my brain, "Responsible Childbearing in This Time of the End".
It's still available at the JW online library if you care to be sickened by it.
Control, guilt, wash rinse repeat.
for those of you who've watched the witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that the org was forced to make their database of abusers available to the courts.
if this database is as detailed and meticulous as it is claimed, how in the world could the org (in its present form) survive that?
assuming they don't go bankrupt after all of the new abuse claims, would they go underground, shut down the kingdom halls, stop the preaching?
... I'd also be curious how many victims remain in the organization to this day and would never even consider a lawsuit against Mother.
i need to vent again here.
because i have no one else to talk with and no one who really understands except for the people here.
my wife is the most dangerous kind of jw.
wonder if the wt is doing the same!!!!.

just part of the article.. (cnn)the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, commonly referred to as the mormon church, responded tuesday to a recently-filed whistleblower complaint that accuses the church of stockpiling $100 billion in accounts intended for charitable works, misleading members and avoiding paying taxes.. .
omg!
this has to be more of "keeping the flock busy and excited" so as not to notice whats going on.. how did i miss this?????
the jehovah's witnesses announced plans to build a 1.5 million-square-foot audio-visual production center in upstate new york, two miles away from the witnesses' headquarters in warwick.
I doubt this has anything to do with reaching the public, this is about producing high quality video to entertain, indoctrinate and control the flock. Caleb and Sofia seem to be effective with the little ones.
big article.. https://www.inquirer.com/news/inq/jehovahs-witnesses-silent-history-child-sex-abuse-20180425.html.
The article is dated April 25, 2018, still a good article, but what's up with the date in the thread title?
if alexa n google could answer your questions about the borg, what would you ask?.
zing.
This is crazy. JW's will love and eat this up, sure of the legitimacy and superiority of "God's Organization" when in reality it's a cult trying to control the narrative.
i remember seeing experience where someone woke up their family using the family worship/study.. i believe i first saw it years ago on freeminds but i also thought that the person was a regular here and shared the same info.. i can't find it.. if you know what i'm referring to and know where i can find that, please direct me.. thank you..
Atlantis, I've never been to Papa John's, but the steak and cheese sandwich, beer, Revenge of Zion's Tower Babes and some light hearted conversation would make for a fantastic time.

just yesterday, a pimi jw that i've known for years told me that at the end of a wedding they recently attended in pennsylvania, usa, the "brother" that officiated the ceremony concluded by saying to the bride and groom, "you may now embrace the bride.
no kissing.
just a hug.
I just asked a family member who attended a JW wedding last weekend. They did indeed include the kiss at the end of the ceremony.
I imagine the wedding with the embrace was requested by the bride and groom. You know how sheltered these kids can be.
My wife would have probably requested such a finale, perhaps even a handshake, if we had married in a KH. She to this day won't do so much as hold my hand in front of her mother.
