perhaps the closest he came to prophesying anything right, is his baby [the watchtower] grown up..

the term "babylonish.

the word babylonish, as we have frequently pointed out, signifies confusion.

If Disfellowshipping pedophiles protects the congregation, what does it do for "Those Outside" they are expelled to?

we all know the wt basis for disfellowshipping, (1 corinthians 5:9-13) 9 12 for what do i have to do with judging those outside?

do you not judge those inside, 13 while god judges those outside?

remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves.. if removing "the man" is a protection for the congregation and no police are called, what does it say about the witnesses view of the world?

Child abuse a sin not a crime to JW's

this australian investigation is astounding to watch.. the elders clearly don't see child abuse as criminal, if a jw confessed to murder, the police would immediately be called.

yet child rape is a spiritual issue..... ridiculous.. this is what happens when 7 window cleaners lead a bunch of dangerously loyal, ignorant middle aged men ...... in managing 7 million people..

Did the Governing Body sucessfully fend off this bad news on thier TV Broadcast??
by Wasanelder Once in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
remember there was a talk about not listening to "false stories" about sexual abuse from apostates on jw's fantasy station?

did the governing body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?

they must have had subpoenas giving them a heads up.
