  1,000 sex abuse cases hidden in Australia for 68,000 publishers...what is it worldwide?

  the press is reporting that over 1,000 cases of abuse were hidden from authorities in australia.. australia has around 68,000 publishers.. if you that ratio applied to the u.s. also, there could be over 14,700 cases that were covered up here.. if the ratio held the same worldwide, that would be over 117,600 cases.. just let that sink in a little..

  Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

  here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.

  jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

  Some young ones have that mentality, but most see it as the org been to restrictive. Am working with a young one in the congregation encouraging him to go to colleges after high school. He told me last weekend he regrets that he got baptized so young. So most of the young ones are going to give the GB the one finger salute and go to college.

  @ the mavster welcome to the board, a lot of us taught that working meaningless jobs and pioneering was the way of life. But learning you been lied to for so many years makes you realize how much time you wasted. In reality you still have a lot life ahead of you go ahead and work towards something you enjoy doing.

  in the article on the guardian ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/jehovahs-witnesses-evangelism-church-god-armageddon ) mentioned in another thread, there's this quote of mark omalley, who is assigned to the public information desk at the jehovahs witness uk centre in north london.

  we now have more than 165,000 [literature] carts on the streets in over 50 countries.

  it gives us visibility and availability.
