  could this be a "wake up trigger" question to a nosy elder?.

  "how many pedophile lawsuits are the wts legal team currently defending?".

  how would/could they answer?why should the answer be secret?.

  If anyone has a PACER account, they can do a simple keyword search for "Watchtower" and other organization corporations. PACER searches current dockets in all U.S. courts. It's not world wide, but it is nation wide.

  I don't have an account. I'd sign up, but I'm mobile today.

  Probable Discovery of Life on Comet Philae

  by cofty in

  according to leading astronomers the probe philae that landed on the comet 67p last november may have discovered microbial life..... sadly neither the probe nor the orbiter rosetta are equipped to test directly but the evidence is interesting.

  these are not easily explained in terms of prebiotic chemistry.

  the dark material is being constantly replenished as it is boiled off by heat from the sun.

  Great article, Cofty.

  Fisherman: take a long walk off a short pier, please. Dregs of society like yourself is why I wish this forum had a block feature.

  Candace Conti Settles

  by Nitty-Gritty in

  hot topic on topix seems to be candace conti settlement.

  but it's all quiet here.

  are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?

  Let's get down to the Nitty Gritty here, nitty-gritty.

  The Nitty Gritty of it is that you would excuse any behavior by the Watchtower.

  If you can excuse God killing innocent children in the flood, killing innocent first born children in Egypt, ordering the killing of innocent infants and children in the promised land, making David and Bath-Sheba's innocent son suffer for seven days before killing him, then you will excuse any policy or anything done by the Society that harms or potentially harms children.

  So excuse me if I don't take your point of view as relevant, much less moral.

  My thoughts on the RC 2015

  having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.

  it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.

  the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.

  Is it possible that the reason it wasn't used in 2014 was because of the special mega-conventions they had last year? Reliant Stadium?

  Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas

  by sunny23 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.

  i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.

  at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed increasing amounts of jw's are coming off fb and deactivating completely.

  all with the same reason which they post about at lenght which is that they wwant to focus more on their spiritual life and not have the distraction of fb.. have i missed something or is this just a coincidence?.

  From the October Study edition of the Watchtower:

  Social networking, texting, circulating e-mails, and frequently checking the latest news and sports events can also waste our time and can even become an obsession. * (Eccl. 3:1, 6) If we do not limit the amount of time we spend on nonessential things, we may find ourselves neglecting the most important activity of all—our worship of Jehovah

  I went to the La Feria assembly hall once, hated it with a passion.

  They installed absolutely zero diaper changing stations in the men's restroom. There wasn't one in the family restroom either.

  I told the caretaker that they were sexist not to have those. "So my wife has to change the diapers and miss out on the convention parts because you think husbands don't need to help out? That's messed up."
