  Baptists have more in common with JW's than they think

  https://apnews.com/article/baptist-religion-sexual-abuse-by-clergy-southern-convention-bfdbe64389790630488f854c3dae3fd5"leaders of the southern baptist convention, america’s largest protestant denomination, stonewalled and denigrated survivors of clergy sex abuse over almost two decades while seeking to protect their own reputations, according to a scathing 288-page investigative report issued sunday.. these survivors, and other concerned southern baptists, repeatedly shared allegations with the sbc’s executive committee, “only to be met, time and time again, with resistance, stonewalling, and even outright hostility from some within the ec,” said the report.. the seven-month investigation was conducted by guidepost solutions, an independent firm contracted by the executive committee after delegates to last year’s national meeting pressed for a probe by outsiders.. “our investigation revealed that, for many years, a few senior ec leaders, along with outside counsel, largely controlled the ec’s response to these reports of abuse ... and were singularly focused on avoiding liability for the sbc,” the report said.

  I used to go to a Baptist church when I was a believer.

  I reckon the British Baptists are nothing like the mentally unstable, heavily medicated American ones.

  A JW prophecy VISIBLY failing!

  by BoogerMan in

  2. beliefs

  w85 7/1 p. 21 par.

  16 - an increasing “great crowd...out of all nations” are flocking to the org jehovah’s worship.

  the brooklyn pharisees assured the sheeple for decades that isaiah 2:2, micah 4:1-3, & haggai 2:7 were prophetically.

  Booster - An increasing “great crowd...out of all nations” are flocking to the org Jehovah’s worship.

  I know they're not flocking to the cult, you know, in fact, everyone knows except the Jobots.

  They'll believe anything that drunken sot TOMO 3rd and his paedo protecting boys will tell them.

  No beards...even Jesus! Strange Watchower rule for brothers!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?

  because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".

  watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

  It's probably a metric to see who's loyal to the drunken paedo lovers AKA Governing Body(TM).

  Jesus is Michael the Archangel

  only jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.

  “now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.

  Y'see, this is what makes me think the Bible is not all it's cracked up to be.

  All this to-ing and fro-ing about who is correct and who isn't.

  Shouldn't a book from the 'Divine' be stating things in an obvious way?

  JULY 15TH STUDY EDITION :"If ever that evil slave..." page 24

  by raymond frantz in

  2. beliefs

  box on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".

  jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.

  jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.

  he concluded his illustration about....

  Yep. 'Illustration'. They said it, not me.

  'The Faithful Slave' isn't a real thing. Neither is the 'Evil slave'. (TM) after the lot.

  Amazing how they take some parables to be literal and others not. I wonder why? Something about money and power? Hmmmm!

  It's one of those threads I haven't bothered with.

  Mr Evans is not a celebrity in my eyes. (I don't do celebrities, it's fake adulation. they're no better than the next person).

  I'm more focused on my family.

  My days of 'activism(tm)' are behind me. If people want to stay in a dangerous cult, that's their business. In a 1000 years time, they'll all be long forgotten like the rest of us.

  Some Jw's are the worst employees

  i found a company and employed an elder as an underwriter and two ms as sales and marketing.

  anyway, this elder will delegate his work to the ms in sales and marketing, so he can go home early.

  he knew when he got started that this would be a 10 hour a day job with some saturday.

  I don't suppose we can broad-brush all Jobots the same.

  I have been aware of some shady Jobot employers. No names, no pack drill.

  I did know of one who was a very good employer. Mind you, he pissed off with some bird (Brit slang for female), and got DF'd.

  s3 How do they verify this claim, if they can and how easy do we debunk this claim if we can ?

  They simply say it is so. The JWs HAVE TO BELIEVE it or be shunned or treated like a leper.

  What is needed to verify a claim made by anyone or an organization ?

  The impossible.
  However, if that drunken fool TOMO3 says this is true, then JWs MUST believe while the rest of us roll our eyes and laugh.

  jp - Because I’m a former Catholic and got tired of all the idolatry and veneration if Mary and Saints.

  That's okay, mate. Sounds like a dubious reason, if I'm honest with you.

  Sounds a bit trollish. If you don't mind me saying. We get lots of accounts (probably 1 sad wanker, sitting in his Mum's back bedroom, not paying rent at 40 years of age and comes on here after a good one off the wrist on xHamster), here and it gets boring.

  You'll be quietly and subtly coerced into venerating the Governing Body of JWs instead.

  There are lots of cults and religions that don't venerate Saints et al.....and you had to pick the JWs. Good grief, Charlie Brown. You'll be sorry.

  But hey, don't take my word for it. You're free to make your own mistakes.

  Unless you're a troll and wasting our time. I am suspicious.

  ....and why are you still here if you think this is the wrong place?
