  Google Street view: Will I get disfellowshipped?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  yesterday, while having a smoke outside my house, i saw the google street view car drive by.

  so here i am, wondering when this picture will make it to the web and when a jw sees it.

  even if they blur the face, i bet it will be really easy to make out who's smokin' outside.

  Grounds for a touch of litigation if that happened I think.

  so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.

  a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

  13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

  It’s never too late to try. Contact Zalkin and talk it over to with them, if possible with your sisters. Win or lose if will help you get your self respect, your life back.

  Think assertively, you deserve redress for this. As grown women, give it your best shot.

  'Victims of abuse Jehovah's Witnesses fear witch hunt'

  The Jehovah's Witnesses are making every effort to obtain interview reports from people who cooperated in an investigation of abuse. Victims fear that their identity could be traced by the religious organization, Trouw reports.

  In the study, researchers from Utrecht University held discussions with victims and other stakeholders about the way in which the Jehovah's Witnesses handled incidents of abuse internally.

  Last year's investigation showed that victims are very negative about the treatment of their complaint. Three quarters of the reporters give an unsatisfactory mark, the most frequently given mark is even 1.

  Tried internally

  The investigation was conducted in response to reports of sexual abuse within the church. Hundreds of reports were received at the reporting center that was set up.

  The organization, with 30,000 members in the Netherlands, does not report perpetrators of sexual abuse to the police. They are tried internally, in so-called judicial committees. Records are made and kept of those internal court cases and of perpetrators' conversations with elders.

  750 people participated in the research of Utrecht University. 300 of them said they themselves had been abused.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses are now attempting to request material from the investigation through various procedures. At ministries, but also at the university.

  Witch hunt

  When the information is released, the participants fear a witch hunt. Kees van den Bos, leader of the research, says in Trouw that 'protecting research participants is a top priority'.

  "This is very sensitive matter that can also be traceable anonymously, because it is a small community. For example, people have said in their own words what happened to them and by connecting answers you quickly suspect who it is. We must avoid the possibility of a witch hunt. "

  A spokesman for the Jehovah's Witnesses says in a response to Trouw that their request focuses on anonymous documents. "With full respect for everyone's privacy and in accordance with the GDPR.

  Are the Dubs going back to the KH again? (Covid-19)

  I think there is something cowardly, yellow-bellied about the covid stance of the WT hierarchy. All full time (paid) people are severely locked down. There is no accessing or leaving bethels etc. COs are banned from any contact no matter local rules. The GB will be absolutely insulated from any risk of infection in their ivory towers.

  The rest of the flock, the r&f however are expected to work, thus incurring some level of risk, contribute, in order to allow for this protection of the hierarchy and (crocodile tears) die in numbers, as an inevitable consequence of their higher risk of infection.

  Don't however come near our KHs with your nasty germs, we don't want them and we don't want our good name associated with any local outbreak.

  The consequence of this is that only the the scientific work, the sacrifice and personal risk of others will stem the world wide problem. Don't look to WT for any help. Don't even clap for the carers.

  Cowardly and self serving.

  Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)

  so, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.

  this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".

  well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

  If people wanna clap, let them clap. If they don't wanna, then don't clap. It's no biggie.

  Agreed, the biggie is making it into a matter of religious right and wrong, judging others about it.

  Well, the CO during his recent rounds had a different view. During his talk to elders and MS's he said "do we realise that amongst the carers we clapped for there are members off the armed forces, even (shock, horror) ministers of religion".

  So, should it reoccur, a clap for the carers is not for true christians. Those of us who did it should be ashamed of ourselves.

  Don't forget almost everything said by the CS now is scripted. This must have come down the line.

  This seems to be an individual congregations instructions to their AV/Chairmen. Interesting as an insight into how controlled the congregations and their meetings are. This sort of thing will be familiar to any one involved in any aspect of this.

  They take this stuff SERIOUSLY!

  What do you think will be different in the Organization after the pandemic is over?

  whether they go back to door-to-door or not, what will be different?

  do you think there will be a noticeable drop-off in attendance as we have read on here that many have left or faded?

  will there be a mass selling of halls?

  I do know that the base position of WT Inc is cautious to the point of paranoia. They are not going to "approve" meeting in person, door to door activity or anything that involves risk until safety is completely assured.

  Imagine if a KH became ground zero of a disease breakout or a householder sued them because a Dub had called and infected the family and grandma died.

  They have the mindset of many governments but their degree of caution will sacrifice anything in the interests of financial security.

  So, in my opinion, don't hold your breath.
