  The Synagogue of Satan

  the governing body claims to be the ruling part of the 144k jews in revelation.

  wt leaders wiped out 4-5 generations of my family, and nearly took me out as well.

  i will see this injustice settled however long it takes.

  Touchofgrey - “They all can't be right, but they all can be wrong.”

  I like this. Seriously. 👍

  Article: Jehovah's Witnesses lose court fight to obtain abuse inquiry report before victims

  by Tahoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  jehovah's witnesses have tried - and failed - to get an advance copy of the abuse in care inquiry's final report into their church.. the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses australasia (ccjwa) filed an urgent claim in the high court in auckland on 21 june to obtain a copy of the final case study relating to the religious denomination in the inquiry's report, but the claim was dismissed.. it also unsuccessfully sought all relevant underlying documents supporting the case study.. in a separate case, the jehovah's witnesses also filed for leave to appeal to the supreme court after the court of appeal dismissed an earlier bid to avoid the scrutiny of the inquiry altogether.. rnz understands the ccjwa received and commented on a draft copy of the case study in may, but has yet to see a final draft.. if its high court claim had been successful, it could have led to the church receiving a copy before the government or abuse survivors had read the report.. jehovah's witnesses is the only religious group to take legal action against the commission.. it has taken similar action against public inquiries overseas, including in australia and the united kingdom.. in a statement, a jehovah's witnesses spokesperson said it had no choice but to go to court.. "we are in full agreement with the inquiry's objective to protect children but have serious concerns about the accuracy of the report regarding jehovah's witnesses.. "child protection is of utmost concern to jehovah's witnesses and we believe the people of new zealand, its decision-makers and most importantly survivors, deserve to be presented with accurate information.

  we have no choice but to resort to court to address these issues.".

  the inquiry is due to hand its final report to the governor-general on wednesday, wrapping up six years of work.. after that, it will be passed to internal affairs brooke van velden, who must table the report in parliament before it is made public.. that was expected to happen in the week beginning 22 july.. survivors of church abuse new zealand spokesperson and former jehovah's witnesses elder shayne mechen said former jehovah's witnesses members and survivors had been angered by the new court action.. "they are feeling angry and frustrated because it shows they [the church] don't care.".

  You gotta ask yourself at this point…

  …just how deluded/desperate are they if they’re willing to pick fights they haven’t a prayer of winning, all over the world, all at the same time?

  Just how deep does the Watchtower’s CSA rabbit hole go?

  They must also change the treatment of those who dissociate themselves from the JWs. It is inevitable

  from reddit ex jw, a user posted this material of a hypothetical new light on dissociated people......i'm posting it only for the record, nothing else is known.

  it seems that the topic has been deleted either by the moderators or by the user himself.

  Same reason they can never really budge on evolution…

  …doing so would be admitting they were really wrong about something really big.

  I’ve long felt that JW Broadcasting was one of the best things that ever happened…

  …they found their true calling as televangelists, and we were proven right.

  Honestly, I suspect the only thing that woke up more still-ins was Covid.

  The August Study Watchtower: what is the big deal?

  i have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.

  i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.

  here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.

  NotFormer- “…Beard Approval is a great term and a great way to mark the JW calendar…”

  Or an XJW alt-rock band name.

  Kingdom hall cleaning

  what are your memories of hall cleaning?.

  i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.

  the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

  Las Malvinas - “…There is no evidence that Jesus associated with people who dated sex workers…”

  That…

  …seems like a very strange thing to say.

  For a number of reasons.
