18Child abuse calculations
by Anony Mous inthere are no real numbers for jws but they are a relatively small group.
compared to the number of catholics at least.. the australian commission gathered more than 5000 cases with over 1000 perpetrators that went completely unreported for the jws.
likewise they did the same for catholics and collected just under 4800 cases with 1880 perpetrators.

Canada exploring changes to tax rules that exempt religious organizations
by Scully inhttps://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelicals-oppose-removal-of-tax-status-in-canadian-proposal.html.
the proposed change will revoke charitable status of canadian churches who have an anti-abortion position, and will not give tax exemptions to organizations whose sole claim is to promote religion, which is the basic claim for all jw related entities in canada.
this will be interesting!.

hoser - “…I haven’t heard a peep from any jw about this... Usually it’s talked about as potential persecution among the jws…”
Ten bucks says the ones who are aware of it probably have enough brains to realize that trying to spin “paying back Caesar’s things to Caesar” as “persecution” would just make ‘em look like a bunch of numbskulls.

Quoting the Daily Mail at meetings
by Farmer Jim1 ini've just remembered that i attended a hall where one of the brothers consistently quoted daily mail articles to back up his answers during the meetings.
i found it hard to keep a straight face when the inevitable daily mail article was quoted to 'prove' a bible passage at each meeting.. no one really seemed to mind and i remember one time i spoke to an elder and said this has to stop as he is passing off tabloid tattle as hard fact.. elder wasn't interested.
i guess as long as the answers backed up the party line no one cared..

The “follow instructions even if they don’t make sense” thing arguably primes the rank-and-file for pretty much anything, no matter what…
…including doubling-down or mainstream reform.
Hypothetical scenario…
…the WTS loses its tax-exemption over child abuse scandals and human rights abuses in too many countries to stay afloat and they’re not able to get their little real estate empire up and running in time…
…so the GB tells the rank-and-file that “it’s time” to hunker down in their
bunkersbasements and await further instructions……while they and a select few bugger off to the Caymans where they have nest eggs stashed, and let the rank-and-file think they’ve been
rapturedtaken away to heaven to kick off the Great Tribulation. -

Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness
by Ron.W. ina slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

Re. the impending election…
…it occurred to me that if Poilievre and the Conservatives decided to back this, they’d almost certainly win over a LOT of Canadian XJWs.
It may not be an overly large voting bloc, but still…

raymond frantz - “…the Watchtower is once again proving itself to be a master of adaptation…”
No offense, Ray, but I wouldn’t call them that.
If they really were “masters of adaptation”, this would’ve already happened, and we wouldn’t have even noticed until afterward.
