Could a religion caught up in abuse and fraud possibly be "true"?
by Jonathan Drake ini recently had a discussion with a witness in which we were talking about the catholic church.
i led them out with talk about the fraud and child abuse scandals and everyone was agreeing and making comments about how terrible it is and how obviously wrong they are.
after about 30 minutes of solid rapport building in this manner, even incorporating scriptures regarding some doctrinal errors in their doctrine (catholic), i said this:.

The right-hand column on that page has a ton of information of past cases including the NBC segment on the 16 settled cases in 2007. -

There's a ton of information here, although I don't know if it's a comprehensive list of all the cases: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/paedophilia.php -

they are quite clearly trying to copy the business model of apple.
it reminds me of the 2013 agm when they had an apple style technology section, focusing on the new jw apps.

DOC: How does anyone that successful (and probably educated) get caught up in a cult like this?
There are plenty of educated people that still believe in God and the Bible. All it takes is convincing one of them that your interpretation is the "Truth."

_Morpheus Really... When did the brooklyn laundry shut down?
When they sold the Factory (or whatever building it was in, I can't remember). Anyways, when they sold the building, they started shipping all laundry to Wallkill.

We are talking about Anthony Morris, if you don't think he'd try to inflate his ego and lpossibly let something slip while being a "dad" then you have no idea who you're talking about.
I concur with this line of reasoning.
I mean, if you're going to lie and say you're in the laundry, why not lie and say you're so-and-so in the legal department?
Cedars probably could have passed for Geoffrey Jackson! All those foreign accents sound alike to hicks like AMIII.

If it was going to be that entrenched then lookout for AppleTV knocking Roku out on the JW TV preferred hardware list...
Word is that the only reason JWTV went with Roku and not Apple was because AppleTV only allows certain approved "partners" to create apps for their set-top box. (That's why there's no Amazon Prime app for AppleTV.)
Anyone can create a Roku app.

So this apple brother is a real person?
Anyone have a name?I have no idea what his name is. My source told me that the brother wanted to remain anonymous. He was providing his services for free and didn't want anyone knowing who he was.
I believe my source. He's very reliable...I have known him since childhood.
However, I realize all of you have to take this with a grain of "don't believe everything you read on the internet" salt.

I wonder if that explains why they're using mostly apple products for assembly halls and KH tech stuff. The guy inside apple might be using his sway with JWs to help his career and his career to gain power with the JWs.
I've heard the same speculation amongst active JWs, but it doesn't really hold up. AppleTV is, by far, the easiest option to use for screen-casting a tablet (using airplay) when conducting a demonstration on stage.
There are other options out there, but AppleTVs are $99, and it's a no brainer to use them with all iPads, even iPhones.
Other screencast options for mobile devices are cost-prohibitive or are technically complicated.

NVR2L8a minute agoSo tell me all of you who believe Cedars missed a great opportunity to corner AM3...what questions would you have asked him and how long do you believe it would take before he hung up on you?
I mentioned several in my comment above. Starting out with the Matthew 18 bit will probably keep him on the phone long enough to at least hear a little of what you're going to say. -

I'm with DJS & the others. I mean, I'm all for prank calls, any day.
But, you've got AMIII on the phone and you make it a joke? Why not call him out on his BS? Say how offended you were and that you were following Matthew 18 to tell him you were offended by his bigoted, Pharisaical attitude, and ask what defense he has for that behavior. Let him hang himself even more with his own rope.
If he hangs up on you, then he looks like a big @**hole. If he gets all self-righteous and indignant, he looks like a big @**hole. If he humbles himself, admits it was harsh, then you have a recording of him admitting such!
Win-win-win, in that case.
Pranking him, although probably fun and entertaining for exJWs, only accomplishes two things: to those that are still in that happen across it, it "confirms" that apostates are evil and mischievous; and to AMIII, it justifies his actions because Satan is persecuting him so he must be right.
