(i wanted to put this in the child abuse section of the forum!).
we have seen that during the march 2017 broadcast, m stephen lett has openly praised children who get baptised as young as 10!.
so lets summarize why it is wrong to push child baptism (not far off "infant baptism" that jws condemn other churches for).
When they discussed those disassociating as being an adult or close to adulthood they were probably being correct. That is the absurdity of the situation.
How is an 11 year old going to dissassociate or even have the comprehension of what that is? Just imagine the reaction of the parents to say the least.
planning on viewing or recording the live stream of the australian royal commission's investigation of watchtower on march 10, 2017?
i believe the stream begins at 10 am aedt (australian eastern daylight time); you will need to figure out when that is in your local time zone.
here is a time zone converter.
Do we know of anyone that will be recording it?
my name is collins.
i am from nigeria.

Welcome Victory.
How are they supposed to keep the congregations clean and allow the flow of the holy Spirit if they force apostates to attend?
i don't recall seeing this come up after the document regarding qcs telecom.. leasing 288 miles of dark fiber is not cheap.
in fact, it borders in the crazy.. http://www.alliedfiber.com/news/press-releases/qcstelecom-signs-20-year-lease-agreement-with-allied-fiber/.
Richard Oliver - They are transmitting large data files and they need to ensure that it is secure.
No they do not need it, it is just something they want and if you're a multi million dollar corporation it's relatively easy to get what you want .... whilst millions starve or have no clean drinking water.
it was a year ago today that my life changed completely.
i'll never forget it.
i had zero friends in the kh and was never included in the "guys" drinks, football games, parties etc.
You've made many great contributions on this site since then pale.emperor - here's to the next year and may it only get better.
a petition has been launched in australia to coincide with the child abuse royal commission's adverse findings against watchtower and jehovah's witnesses.
the petition is to the australian charities and not-for-profit commission to cancel their charity status.. https://www.change.org/p/australian-charities-and-not-for-profit-commission-acnc-cancel-the-watchtower-bible-and-tract-society-s-charity-status.

Thanks Darkspilver, when I'm using my tablet I am very limited in what I can do.
so we all know how the organization conducts itself regarding child abuse.
the multitude of legal cases worldwide including the current australian royal commission as well as anecdotal accounts prove their attitude.. perpetrators have not been reported to authorities, and data bases of such have been kept sealed even when demanded by the courts!.
however, when it comes to those of us who have simply left the organization due to learning the truth, the society spares no effort in spreading gossip and ensuring that one's name and reputation is ruined.. so gb, which crime is worse?
Apostasy is a direct threat to the organization whereas child abuse is not, if it can be kept hidden.
its been pointed out to me that two eye witnesses are always needed for elders to form a judicial case.
the sister could have sex with a brother.
she confesses and he denies, he gets off free, sure.
Not only must there be two eye witnesses but those witnesses must be 'credible', whatever that means but I'm assuming that if two siblings were to make a claim about their father they would do nothing if they felt or came to the conclusion that they were lying.

Their Australian Tax Return was just lodged on the 28 the February, 2017. It show their begging has continued to reap them rich rewards. Donations went from approx 21 million to 27 million over the previous year, that's a 30% increase.
The Watchtower Australia sent nearly 18 million overseas in that year. They are rolling in it.
Here's the Australian Branch email address for anyone interested

oh wow!
if you haven't yet watched the feb2017 broadcast, strap yourself in for a ride!!.
( perhaps watch john cedars review of it on his youtube channel as it is better than watching the official one.
Stuckinarut - There is also the worst case of manipulation in the "experience " of someone who comes back to "the truth" because she saw a painting of the resurrection hope!
That was a model, Anneliese Zelina. Here she is in an old Video advertising skinny Jeans.
