  When and where baptized

  by drahcir yarrum in

  i thought it might be interesting to see how many here remember where and when they were baptised into the borg.

  for some the memory may be too painful, but i'm curious.. me.

  it was 1966 in vancouver, bc.

  Watchtower Website to Report Child Molestations

  by Ray Skyhorse in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  ive been reading a lot on the issue of child molestion and the watchtower society.

  ive read some things about the borg settling cases out-of-court but i havent heard many details.. does anyone know if the watchtower has agreed to any terms for settling a case that involve non-monetary terms?

  for example, today i read in the l.a. daily journal about the catholic church settling a case that involved these terms:.

  **I couldn't disagree more. A mainstream church is now being forced into it. What's to prevent that from happening to a mainstream cult?**

  I did not say it could NEVER happen; just that the chances are slim that the WT would be willing to do so. They very well may be pressured to have such a provision, either on their web site, or in ads on the back of their magazines - but be assured that much kicking and screaming will occur before that happens. The WT has a history of being slow to react when it comes to any action that could be percieved as an admission of guilt on their part.

  RAY -

  Since the chances of the WT having a phone line or web site for reporting child molestation are slim to none, Bill Bowen has already designed a wonderful site for this:

  Hope that helps.

  You are a true Angel - courageous, firm, bold and full of conviction! We are so proud of you for being strong, and helping to see that justice was served! There is still much to be done, but your actions and words will make it that much easier for those who follow you into their own court battles. Bravissima!

  Questions for JWs

  dear jw,.

  i have some questions.

  as i understand it, if armageddon came tomorrow, those that never heard the truth, in such places as india or china would either live through armageddon or die and be resurrected.

  **Now, if my logic is correct, why should you spend any time in field service? Wouldn't it be better to leave everyone alone? They would have a better chance of making it to the new world that way. If you mess up, their blood is on your shoulders. If you never talk to them, you are blameless.**

  LARC:

  I came to the same conclusion years ago! It was one of the reasons why I left the bOrg. Such a waste of time and resources - ultimately only benefits the WTBTS.

  That is wonderful news! There is much more to be done, but it's always good to have legal precedents set for future cases! All the best to Erica and her family, we know she has a lot of healing to do still - but support is available. God bless...

  boring meetings

  by Ray6 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why don't the brothers put more feeling and encouragement in their parts(if they believe this is the truth-show it) much of the information is above the heads of the children.

  i have to force myself to concentrate on what is being said and not fall asleep.. children are forced to sit for 2 hours or get smacked.

  you can just stay home and read over material.
