  [Edit.. There is a chapter on Islam]

  I am probably confusing that with another publication that was aimed at Hindus I think and the promise was that they would follow it with something aimed at Muslims. It was that that never materialised.

  As I remember it was released with great self congratulation but never studied. Correct me if I'm wrong but it omitted Islam from the story. A promise was made at the time of release that a separate publication would be prepared on that subject, we are still waiting.

  "Tens of Thousands Affected by Devastating Earthquake in Turkey

  A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck southeastern Turkey early Monday, February 6, 2023. Later, a magnitude 7.5 tremor hit the same region. A number of significant aftershocks have been felt in the region. Over 21,000 people have died, and more than 74,000 people have been injured.

  
  

  Effect on Our Brothers and Sisters in Turkey

  Sadly, 1 elderly sister in the city of Adana was killed

  A brother, his wife, their child, and a relative remain trapped under rubble in the city of Adiyaman

  3 homes were destroyed

  17 homes sustained major damage

  17 homes sustained minor damage

  1 Kingdom Hall sustained major damage

  1 Kingdom Hall sustained minor damage

  Relief Efforts

  Responsible brothers are providing much-needed spiritual assistance to those affected by the disaster

  2 Disaster Relief Committees have been appointed to oversee relief efforts"

  I don't minimise the affect on the witnesses but highlighting one death in a tragedy of this size on the basis of religion is offensive. Is any group on earth so unloving?

  jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the gentile times are fulfilled.

  the bible book of luke records jesus prophecy of the last day with his parousia including the verse about the gentile times.

  this is a depopulation agenda--make those kids sick so they will have an early death...make them infertile so they can't have children.

  ????? Really? I rest my case?

  “in the UK bethel nearly all the old one died after clot shots”

  “Yes it’s absolutely true, It would be good see a lot of all the older ones and their ages in the London Bethel infirmary upto 2020/21”

  This sort of unsubstantiated gossip is what undermines the value of this board. If these are facts, quote your evidence, otherwise keep it to yourselves.

  Are the statistics out yet?

  by slimboyfat in

  isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?

  or have they stopped publishing it?

  did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

  In a world ripe for the plucking in terms of religious scaremongering this is an abysmal report. Depite all the last minute massaging the figures are dismal.

  Memorial attendance down 1.5 Million. Bible studies down 300.000.

  After just a quick look, I would say that if it was a commercial company the shares would be tanking.

  Lawsuit: I said GB member Barr that my Bethelite stepfather abused me; he did nothing

  by Corney in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  here's an excerpt from the recent lawsuit deborah hines v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york et al (paragraphs 158-180), one of 29 known cases brought against the org pursuant to the ny child victims act.

  what should be kept in mind is that gerrit lösch apparently worked in europe (the austrian branch and eastern europe) at the time when the abuse was allegedly reported to him (not a gb member then).. plaintiff was raised a member of the jehovah’s witnesses.

  she primarily attended meetings at various congregations in arizona.

  Well, they settled. Big surprise eh? When in doubt use the financial clout, What a cynical use of "dedicated funds" .

  I by the way, have no problem believing this. The rules ae the rules until it suits the bigger picture, then all sorts of arrangements are made.

  I knew Jack Barr and his wife Mildred long before they were whisked away to GB stardom. He was a gentle old man unsuited to making a fuss. I can see him handling the problem just as described. Sad but true.

  Viruses Killed The Woolly Mammoths.

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can remember the original turquoise coloured evolution book produced by the organisation and the numerous public talks around it.

  mind-blowing to a gullible youngster growing up in a jw family.. the flood of noah's day when thousands of tons of suspended water fell from the atmosphere and on hitting the cold poles instantly plunged the woolly mammoths into a deep freeze, to the extent that the last mouthful of grass was still there in the mouth in mid-chomp.

  you can quickly see why a kid with a fertile imagination was transfixed by those apparently up-to-date scientific discoveries as presented by the wt org!.
