  Just talked to Witnesses at my door for Hour about Watchtower Child Abuse

  by flipper in

  2. child-abuse

  it happened again like in july when i talked to an elder and his wife about child abuse, but this time i got a hold of rank and file members who fortunately i was able to play like a fiddle as they had no idea what they were up against here.

  so brother middle age ex-hippie convert ( as he told me later ) and sister middle age hair in a bun offered me the awake on death or our view of death.

  i graciously accepted gaining their trust saying yes, i had close loved ones who had died over the years but didn't know if i believed in a resurrection or hereafter.

  Pete Z, you are right that this tragedy will never make the yearbook. If the bus was headed for an amusement park and they had missed the Sun meeting, the CO's would have a field day using the tragedy to further their agenda. I know first hand. My son died in an accident that happened during meeting time on Sun. The whole circuit buzzed that had he attended the meeting he would still be alive.

  Watchtower-Free, Thank you for your post. Common sense would tell us that dead is dead no matter what the reason for the bus trip. However, in the interest of helping mentally "in" JWs , the point needs to be made that Watchtpwer's claim that the preaching work is guided by angles is FALSE! Too many Dubs believe they are under some kind of umbrella/protection when engaging in "Theotracic" activities.

  About as fast as it is now because the growth is mainly from born ins. The difference might be that slightly less leave when they get older.

  The "invisible" Elephant in the room: ELDERLY JW's nobody provides for

  by Terry in

  question: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.

  answer: it pretends it will never happen!.

  is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.

  What if...Barbara Anderson was never disfellowshipped.

  with all these new lawsuits coming against the watchtower, i wonder what would have happened if the watchtower had revised their policies instead of disfellowshipping whistleblowers.

  i wonder if the gb regrets it.

  what if they had accepted that child abuse was a real issue and abolished the 2 witness rule?

  Knee, many many were helped but Barbara lost her child and grandchild in the process. A HUGE sacrifice.

  What a terrible tragedy. How does the WTBT$ spin something like this when they claim God helped them get a better job, multiply chickens etc?

  Attorney/s present at GBmeetings for the purpose of giving legal council??????? Isn't JEhOvah supposed to be smarter than any human? I guess the Holy Spirit didn't go to law school.
