Withdrawing funds - there is a limit of the amount of cash that you can withdraw from the bank on any given day, if you want to withdraw a larger amount then you must call and arrange it beforehand.

Phone Calls - Banks have their call centres set up into separate area, debt recovery would be a different area and not affected by enquiry calls

Withholding payments - you will end up with a hefty penalty fee and the banks will be laughing

According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

by flipper in

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

Listener

I believe that they have to have this policy because they currently have elders serving today that they know are child molesters. If they didn't have this policy then they would have to remove a number of elders from their positions and probably even some higher ups.

I don't doubt that we will hear of cases where the org knows of elders who are child molesters and have been allowed to continue in their position. They would look even worse if they had a policy that said no molesters could serve as elders.

Lett video

by Gorbatchov in

i watched the stephen lett video @ jw.org .

the first minutes he shows himself as a nice chap.

uncle stephen knows what's best for you.. and then i see the extreme fundamentalist he is, talking short about apostates.

Listener

He makes these accusations without any evidence whatsoever. The funny thing is that apostates have been making an issue of how they have been dealing with pedo's for years and it isn't until now, when there are more high profile court cases, that they try to make apostates out as liars.

JW's use UN to condemn South Korea for imprisonment of Conscientious Objectors

by cappytan in

although the organization condemns the un as a satanic organization that will turn on jws and try to destroy them, they're not above using the evil satanic image of the wild beast for personal gain.. link to article on jw.borg here: http://www.jw.org/en/news/legal/by-region/south-korea/human-rights-violations-conscientious-objectors/.

pasting text below in case you don't want to click through:.

south korea guilty of arbitrary detention of conscientious objectors.

Listener

You could understand if they appointed someone such as a lawyer to present their issues to the South Korean Government but to seek out the services of the UN to do this for them is amazing.

The fact that they are doing this shows their very support for this organization and that they have faith that they can do something for 'God's organization'.

im growing my beard.

so there!

Listener

My hubby has a beard and love it as it suits him. He used to have it fairly long and we laugh when we look back at some of the photo's. He keeps it pretty short these days and it looks so much better. He uses a electric grooming kit and finds it much easier than using scissors.

You can always shave if you don't like it.

Thanks for posting a snapshot of it. I had read on JW Talk that she was wearing the badge but I couldn't believe it until I saw it myself.

Splane's Anti Catholic Rant

by Listener in

a talk was given by gb member david splane in the february 2015 jw broadcasting video.

he talks about unity and sings the praises of jws.

he points his finger at the catholics and says this about them (39.32)-.

Listener

A talk was given by GB member David Splane in the February 2015 JW Broadcasting Video. He talks about unity and sings the praises of JWs. He points his finger at the Catholics and says this about them (39.32)-

<<Who have applied Paul’s counsel today? The Catholic Church? During WW2 in the City of Rome there were Jews and there were Romans. How did the Romans treat the Jews? The Vatican and pious Italian Catholics looked silently by whilst 7,500 Jews were hauled off to the concentration camps in Ulswitch and few returned alive. What a contrast with Jehovah’s people who have risked their lives on behalf of fellow believers in many countries, no matter what their race, no matter what their nationalities Doesn’t it make you feel good to belong to an organization where there truelly are no foreigners?. They never said a word>>

I know that most of the time their choice of examples are so poor in proving their point but this example is crazy, if not untruthful. I always thought that the Catholic Church did a lot to help hide and look after Jews.

He forgot to mention that there were also JWs in Rome at this time. Could he say how the JWs stood up for the Jews? Were the leaders encouraging JWs to hide and feed Jews? They would never even consider doing such a thing.

He contrasts the idea that JWs look after their own whereas nothing he said explained how the Catholics weren’t also looking after their own.
