Just how desperate IS the Org for willing, “qualified” brothers?
Or do they really think that “repentance” actually wipes the slate clean, and/or immunizes against backsliding?
😵💫

in the torah, where the need for sanctuary cities is being established, a hypothetical situation is described where a bloke is swinging an axe, and the axe head flies off and kills another bloke.
the dead man's brother is designated "the avenger" and pursues the original guy in order to kill him for being responsible for the death.
he is allowed to do so, if the original guy doesn't make it to a sanctuary city.
NotFormer - “Was the heavy enforcement of the two witnesses rule in CSA cases Jaracz's revenge upon his victims?”
Unlikely.
Simpler explanation is the one I gave…
…to make it as difficult as possible to expose the problem.
For all kinds of reasons.
IF Jaracz was a sex offender, his reason would have been self-preservation.

Meh…
…there’s too many people, anyway.
“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.
he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.
he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….
“Dubnauts”, LOL! 😄
even though i'm disfellowshiped ( & i belive wrongfully so).
i still belive this is the truth.
i have been d'f for about 8 months now and working on reinstatement.
Re. Fisherman’s post…
Yup.
You can trust that the Bible is true because the Bible says it’s true.
After all, if it wasn’t true, it’d say so…
…wouldn’t it?
i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.
blondie - “…the WTS will lie to all of them if the WTS deems it is necessary.”
Thing is, they were dumb enough to tell the loyalists to lie in writing.

DesirousOfchange - “I think most of them are not savvy enough to understand the potential consequences.”
I've met a couple who could barely tie their shoelaces without the GB’s “direction”.

What ThomasMore said.
I’ll add that the more secretive an organization is, the dirtier its secrets tend to be.
the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.
i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

I’ve long felt that insisting that they’re “God’s Chosen” - and therefore invincible and destined to prevail no matter what - would be a major contributor to their downfall…
…because that mindset cannot help but influence them into making increasingly poor decisions.
