That one isn’t really much of a thing anymore.
Too many instances of the work not being up to code and having to be redone.

17 being faithful gullible leads to god’s the cult's approval - thousands of young christian men and women are willingly sacrificing marriage or are not having children - at least for now - in order to serve jehovah the borg to the full.
older ones too may be sacrificing the time they could otherwise spend with their children and grandchildren in order to work on theocratic construction projects supply free labour or to attend the school for kingdom evangelizers receive deeper indoctrination and to serve in areas where the need for kingdom publishers more suckers is greater.

i know back in the day, that was taught, that if the parents were going to be destroyed, so would the children.
i just can't easily find reference to anything.
this thinking has been used to justify some egregious behavior towards children and their parents such as exclusion of children from jw family - why worry, the end is near, all will work itself out then - the end didn't come though.
Since the Bible contains plenty of instances where killing children was condoned by God, why would the prospect of this happening at Armageddon surprise anyone?
"the dangers of independent thinking".
reading mary's thread regarding the july 15th wt, i began to really consider what the wbts' problem is with "independent thinking".. what exactly is "independent thinking" and what about its opposite, "dependent thinking"?
i think the following excerpt from an article here does a good job of defining them.
The real danger of “independent thinking”…
…is the risk of thinking the WTS might be wrong.
awhile ago i said on here i would like to show how wrong the jehovahs witness organisation is , in that they will not accept the testimony of a victim of sexual crime where the victim has no other witnesses to the crime.
i faced this with helping my ex wife for about 15 years in exposing her father , an elder, to the jw org.
his raping of her over years and they believed him.. so therefore the perpetrator knowing of the organisations stance can easily deny and therefore be free to pretend to serve as an innocent jw still mixing with the congregation ,and also i have witnessed an accused perpetrator of child molestation witnessing at my next door neighbors house in field service with a child of another family even though the elders knew of the accusations against him.
The reason for the downvotes is, like I said before, the deliberate weaponization of the rule.
That weaponization has done so much fucking harm that oftentimes the mere mention of the rule triggers anger and anxiety, let alone any perceived defense of it.
the english legal system's independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has issued its final report, and its recommendations.
to read the report in full just google iicsa report, if you search on the iicsa site you can find the specific investigation into j.w's.. but this recommendation from the final report is interesting, esp.
the first and last sentences.
NotFormer - “…When it comes to damage done to the organisation and its people, that bloke must be cellmates in Hell with da Judge.”
Fixed that for you. 😏

The fact that the two-witness rule was weaponized so heavily by Ted Jaracz specifically to make it as difficult as possible to expose the problem (and therefore conceal his own alleged offenses) pretty much invalidates it as a tool for justice at this point, anyway.

Elders that don’t comply will be charged…
…institutions that won’t comply will have their charity status threatened.
And that is as it should be.
w98 2/1 p. 22 par.
16 - "what of the dead who are resurrected on earth?...they also will have to love the name of jehovah, ministering to him, offering acceptable sacrifices......".
(daniel 9:26, 27) "and after the 62 weeks, mes·siʹah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.....and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice......to cease.
“Who's got it wrong - Daniel or the evil slave?”
YES.
namely, that the org & its elite group of "anointed" christians had usurped christ's role.
thank you so much, faithful evil slave!
by their fruits............... for lurking jw's: how many org "truths" have you seen reversed during your life?.
BLASPHEMY???
Shit, I wanna go back, now.
