Further Crisis looming for JW org re Safeguarding ?

by Phizzy in

if you substitute j.w org for c of e this really hits home : (from bbc news site) :.

the church of england risks further crisis if it fails to adopt a sweeping new independent system to keep people safe, the former head of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse has said.

(prof. alexis jay).. "i think it's absolutely necessary because church safeguarding as it stands falls below the standards of secular organisations, and i do not think that can continue when it has also led to such serious weaknesses," she told the bbc..

BluesBrother - “…It is a case where they need to learn from ‘The World’…”

And I imagine the prospect of that goes over like a lead balloon.

“In the Truth”… “having the Truth”… “present Truth”…

…all part-n-parcel to condition the rank-and-file to stay loyal…

…no one wants to be “in the Lie”, after all.

They were trying to spread Transgender ideology, DEI, Green New Deal to the entire World

by liam in

the plan the democrats in the usa were trying to implement world wide was their ideology.

they wanted open borders for every country, they wanted to rid the middle class entirely.

they wanted a small group of people to run the world.

liam - “…They wanted a small group of people to run the world...”

‘Course they did.

All people in power want a small group of people to run the world.

That’s why the people in power are always small groups.

JW Lawyer in Norway uses "theocratic warfare" to conceal the org's controlling language!

by BoogerMan in

in the org's vocabulary, the term "independent thinking" is applied pejoratively to any jw who thinks & reasons for themselves.

the org's lawyer knew exactly what he was doing in court when he voiced his carefully prepared words:.

"watchtowers lawyer anders ryssdal compares jehovah’s witnesses’ baptism to the norwegian state church’s confirmation of 15-year-olds, arguing that their baptism is no different.

Once again, for the newbies, lurkers, and trolls…

…if you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don’t deserve to be defended.

HAS THE WATCHTOWER GONE SOFT ON HOMOSEXUALITY?

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/trt197bko98?si=l_5wnlasm-aaxlh1.

once upon a time, the watchtower had no qualms about making its stance on homosexuality crystal clear.

back in the 1970s, they didn't just oppose it—they called it "detestable.

Vidiot

raymond frantz - “…At the end of the day, the Watchtower is no different from the religions they claimed to be separate from…”

Yup.

And once you’ve neutered all the things you held up for decades as hard proof you alone had “The Truth”…

…where’s the incentive to stay?

U turn on LGBT

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

feb broadcast they have a drama about someone who works with a colleague who is gay.. they actually make it sound like the jws are the only ones who support him and is tolerant of him and everyone else is against him🤣.

after all these years they try gaslighting and saying we are the ones who are tolerant and everyone else is not!!!.

you couldn’t make this up.. after this monumental u turn now, what about all the gay people who were born in’s who have been shunned by their own family?.

Simon - “They haven't read the room very well - all the DEI pandering that were required for NGOs to get funding is going the way of the dodo.”

Well, considering how long it took to (quietly) dispense with the 7,000-year-long Creative Days, is this really that surprising? 🤨
