  Not exactly breaking news, but...how can the posters on JWTalk.net be so obtuse?

  2. friends

  on jwtalk.net, the jw apologists are all over the conti case, about how "dumb" the jury was, how it is certain to be overturned on appeal, how jehovah will vindicate his name, blah blah blah.. meanwhile, on another thread about the sandusky verdict, you will find these comments:.

  so sad that it took all this time and ruined those young boys lives.

  but what about the school officials, didn't they have a responsibility to report this to the authorities??.

  A post from one of the members:

  We have to look at things in a balanced way and get things in prespective
  
  Firstly, this case is not over. If an organization is going to be held financially accountable
  for the actions of its ordinary members - even those formerly in a position of responsibility -
  there will be an awful lot of religous and non-religious bodies that will be looking at this and
  feeling mighty nervouse.
  
  Secondly, no organization can be 100% free of sexual preditors, its simply impossible. We have
  to accept that. Wasn't Satan himself once an "active" member of the heavenly organization?
  
  Thirdly even if this does go through it will be an opportunity for the brothers to identify any
  weak spots in our policies - there have been changes over the years and this ultimately makes us
  stronger.
  
  Remember our history, in the 1950's we sufferered many defeats that later worked out for our favor.
  Here in France we had a legal battle that lasted 16 YEARS! We lost and lost and lost again. The brothers
  were VERY worried since if the law had gone through it would have meant the financial end to Jehovah's Witnesses
  in France (as a people of course we cannot be stopped or legislated against but it would have been a legal
  precident that would have had disastrous effects all over Europe).
  
  But more importantly, as in this weeks Watchtower it speaks about the attack of Gog, we must understand
  that the day will come when we have no legal recourse. At the moment we can expect justice but
  the day is coming when our enemies WILL be "victorious", when we do have nowhere to turn, we probably
  will loose all our beautiful bethel homes and properties as he closes in on us... what will we do then? Panic
  like the Israelites at the red sea?
  
  Yes, the apostates are milking this for all they can, before the higher courts no doubt overturn it and you can bet
  you laptop they are avidly reading THIS thread and taking notes, what they want is that we are disheartened or
  humiliated by this and there is absolutely no reason to be. If the brothers followed directives then they did all they
  could, if they directives needed to be clarified they have since been. In the meantime, Jesus is in the driving seat; nothing
  will happen to his earthly congregation that he doesn't allow.

  Lawyer tells of agonising scenes as doctors forced to let a Jehovah's Witness who wanted to live, die

  lawyer tells of agonising scenes as doctors forced to let a jehovah's witness who wanted to live, die.. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/lawyer-tells-of-agonising-scenes-as-doctors-forced-to-let-a-jehovahs-witness-who-wanted-to-live-die-7879674.html.

  a lawyer who advised doctors that they must let a 22-year-old jehovah's witness die even though he wanted to live has spoken of the agonising scenes before the young man's death.. robert tobin, a partner in the london law firm kennedys, was called in by an unnamed nhs trust when the man, a jehovahs witness who was critically ill with sickle cell anaemia, refused a blood transfusion which could have saved his life.. over three weeks the man gradually deteriorated as the crisis progressed, before eventually dying.

  medical staff were understandably upset at seeing a patient deteriorate before their eyes knowing a simple procedure could have been provided that would have saved his life, mr tobin said.. the mans mother, also a jehovahs witness, was at her sons bedside, and an elder from the mans church also attended.

  So another young life lost for absolutely nothing at all. And we're supposed to be "encouraged" by this supposedly fine example? Really sick stuff.

  my mom told me this as it was related to her.. a witness is suddenly carjacked!

  the man tells the sister he is there to steal her car!

  she begs him not to take the car as it is the one she uses to take her elderly mom to the doctors.

  I don't understand why JWs are so obsessed with what 'apostates' have to say about anything?

  I mean seriously, they say we're the ones who can't let go, yet they initiate contact by going on 'apostate' websites and youtube and other networks and lambast everything we say when their own leaders tell them not to view these sites and interact with us in the first place. If they're so convinced they have the 'truth' and we're going to eventually be destroyed, then anything we have to say or do should be a non issue and irrelevant, surely?

  as above, the dm site is not showing it unless you click the link on here or search for c.c no newspaer has reported it to my knowledge, the jw's are so insignificant that the public do not give a s**t in the opinion of journalists..

  I think the British papers care more about who Cheryl Cole is banging than the JW fiasco.

  The last major JW news story over here to my knowledge was the Emma Gough situation.

  Dumbest crazy YEARBOOK experience ever...talking demonic snake silenced by Witness!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i loved reading the yearbook each year as soon as it came out....lots of encouraging experiences and they were all true of course, like this one from africa..... yearbook 1967 p.105 "a large crowd was following a man who had a talking serpent {like the muppets}...the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues {college educated maybe}....a brother passing by went into the house, as soon as he did the serpent stopped talking.

  the man cried out "a magican has entered the room.

  " the brother asked the man "is that a serpent or a demon that has spoken to you?...not one serpent has ever spoken except the one in the garden of eden"...seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the house....he was anxious later to get some literature....".
