  the 2015 documentary - 'the forecaster' was basically banned in usa.

  so martin leased a movie theater in cherry hill nj and showed it himself.. 'a german tv station funded the 2015 documentary on me entitled the forecaster.

  because it raised some of these issues back then, the film was banned in the united states as well as switzerland...'.

  I don't doubt he was unjustly treated by the Authorities, I do doubt his personal integrity, and his expertise.

  C of E Abuse Report. Contrast with JW org !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  note this report covers cases going back to 1949, they uncovered 400. if j.w's in the u.k did a similar, thorough trawl of all congregation records going back that far, let's pretend they haven't destroyed most of them, we know they have, but just pretend they are all available, how many cases of abuse would they uncover ?

  in a much smaller org ?.

  maybe the file destruction that has gone on was to protect the org.

  Thank you Jan, for that inside information, and what a contrast to the J.W org !

  They fall woefully short on this, its almost as though they relish, and wish to keep, the title that some on here bestowed upon them years ago, the "Paedophile's Paradise".

  Maybe the File destruction that has gone on was to protect the org. and its £££ from a proper investigation such as this.

  Note too the Apology, and the things put in place to mitigate the harm done, by the C of E. Another contrast in attitude.

  They discourage the Elders from admitting that they are JW's ,why ? because they do not want any connection with Elders mishandling CSA to bite the Org. in the arse, and it actually cost them some $$$.

  Had to laugh.

  i had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.

  and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".

  " i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

  JW Obession with the trinity

  by Riley in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a few years i watched a lecture series by a man named dr. micheal heiser called the two powers in heaven, jesus in the old testament.

  funny thing was it wasn't even very evangelical in nature, so i turned off my religious binders and just watched it like a regular person.

  it turns out that the new testament is a hinge point in the bible.

  " neither the trinity nor the divinity of Jesus were original Christian doctrine." The Gospel of John, particularly Chapter One, but throughout, not original Christian doctrine then ? "John" is in no doubt of the Divinity of Christ.

  The thing that boils my piss about the J.W. org is their constant crowing that they are right and Christendom has got it all wrong.

  I can remember this feeling when they used to constantly brag about how they had got 1914 right, and the other Christian religions had missed this event in heaven ! I remember sitting there during a W.T Study and thinking "I wish they could be proved wrong over this, just to shut them up". well, they were, and it didn't.

  The Trinity is another exactly parallel thing, they keep on about how it is a false Doctrine, to such an extent that J.W's go to great efforts to get "interested" persons to reject the Doctrine. The problem is that the J.W org has got this one wrong too.

  I don't wish to get in to a big discussion on the Trinity, but suffice to say, if you know how to read the Bible, as an Academic expert in the field would, and if you know about how Philosophical thought works, you will see how later Theologians developed the Trinity Doctrine and why, you will also understand that it isn't in any way a deal breaker as J.W org would have it.

  The org hypocritically goes on about how it isn't found spelled out in a simple formula in the Bible, and developed after the 1st Century, well that rather brings us back to the Foundation Doctrine of the J.W org, the 1914 nonsense doesn't it ?

  That Doctrine suffers from the above problems levelled at the Trinity, plus it is not to be found anywhere at all in Scripture, unless you are mildly insane about Biblical interpretation and understanding.
