  the jehovah's witnesses have lost their appeal to avoid investigation by a new zealand royal commission.

  "a legal bid by the jehovah's witness church challenging a ruling by the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in care has been dismissed by the court of appeal.

  the watchtower's nightmares have just began in france.

  on april the 9th the french senate passed a new "anti-cult" law that will basically strengthen the hands of miviludes, the french agency, the official anti-cult agency that is cracking down on dangerous cults.

  Sea Breeze - “…they cite the UN for establishing their ‘basic human right’ to not be taxed…”

  OMG, that’s mind-boggling on multiple levels.

  Apostate lies are NOW fulfilling BIBLE PROPHECY 😅

  by raymond frantz in

  2. bible

  the new study article 28 watchtower that has just been published on jw.org is about apostate lies and introduces new concepts in their effort to compat apostasy in the congregations.

  so despite the loosening of their recent disfellowshipping rules their fight against apostates is still raging hard.

  according to the foreword of this article, they will concentrate on :.

  We’ve heard rumblings about the Org leadership half-expecting the CSA problems to sink ‘em, wherein they’ll declare that the Great Trib has started.

  Wouldn’t it be a kick in the ass if the instructions were basically just “go to ground and await further instructions”…
  

  …whilst they bugger off to parts unknown with whatever nest egg they’ve squirrelled away?

  Basic common sense would dictate that they put up their hands, back away from the table, and accept their losses…

  …but like I keep saying…

  …doubling down like this is the kind of strategic blunder that True Believers are gonna make, because they can’t conceive that they’re not invincible and destined to prevail (or that the Truly Desperate make, ‘cause they’re running out of options).

  read:.

  but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’b 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards.

  hmm... let's see is anyone on the governing body a strict master and a drunkard?

  This bit jumped out at me…

  “…France has now become the first country as far as I can tell in Europe that recognises coercion to remain in a religion with the use of family pressure or application of punitive measures like disfellowshipping and shunning as a crime called ‘psychological subjection’ and in that way the open the door for hundreds or even thousands of exjws to take the Watchtower to court for having been subjected to such coercion…”

  Its funny…

  …the WTS always assumed that “Satan’s World” would try to destroy them with violent militant force.

  Getting sued, taxed, and legislated into oblivion never seems to have occurred to them.

  ThomasMore - “JWs never see these losses as indication of a systemic problem within their religion…”

  Not the hard-core loyalists, anyway.

  The rest, though?

  One small step closer to the Org losing its tax-exemption in yet another part of the world.

  ThomasMore - “I once heard some heavies at the Bible House say that listing the ‘lies’ of apostates would be to propagate them. I disagreed since it only made publishers curious as to what these ‘apostate lies’ were…”

  This.

  Clearly, none of ‘em have heard of the Barbara Streisand Effect.
