The office of the attorney general’s office was contacted regarding the allegations of a Watchtower coverup of child sex abuse within the Jehovah’s Witness religion and we received the reply ...“We don’t intend to do a damned thing about it. We don’t think child sex abuse is really a big thing. So what ...a few kids we’re involved in a little but of fun. It’s not really a big thing.”
Lets hope that one day, the authorities start taking the issue seriously. Until then, Watchtower can go on abusing with impunity.

Good point steve 2
I would like to, and I might, ask a JW “what would the Society say if somebody today was found performing miracles in the name of Jesus? We’re taking real, verifiable, guy had no legs and now he does, miracle. Not the Jimmy Swaggart kind.
I am willing to bet that any and all dubs would say “it’s fake” or “it’s from Satan”. And if it happened in front of them such that the “fake” alternative was taken away, they would still insist on the “Satan” alternative.
And in the end, if Jesus again walked the Earth, doing exactly as the first time, they would spit in his face.

This post is for the lurking dub. The PIMC (physically in, mentally confused) lurker dub. The guy who reads the Watchtower stuff and scratches his head, sure something is amiss but not sure of what’s really happening.
It may also be of some interest to those curious of the nuts and bolts of Watchtower’s methods of scripture twisting.
In tonight’s “Digging for Spiritual Gems: (8 min.)”, there is a point that demonstrates that the dubs in the pew are totally and completely devoid of reason. They are mentally asleep. This can be seen by the Watchtower’s commentary, as well as the comments of the dubs, including by chance our CO.
They pride themselves as being learned in the Scriptures and being teachers of it, yet they understand nothing.
The “gem” is as follows.
Lu 9:49, 50—Why did Jesus not prevent a man from expelling demons, even though the man was not following him? (w08 3/15 31 ¶2)
The biblical text under consideration from the “gem” is as follows, taken from the NWT.
49 In response John said: “Instructor, we saw someone expelling demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he is not following with us.”
50 But Jesus said to him: “Do not try to prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Why indeed did Jesus not stop the man? Conversely, it could also be asked ‘why would he want to?’
I’ve included at bottom the Watchtower’s explanation, but I will summarize to save readers the trouble of reading it. The Watchtower says, in summary, that Jesus didn’t stop him because there was no congregation yet, the inference being that there was no Organization yet to tell him what he could or couldn’t do.
First, the fact is that the Bible verse quoted shows clearly the real reason why Jesus told his followers not to interfere with the man. Jesus set the principle “...whoever is not against you is for you.” Very simple.
And the disciples who tried to stop the man weren’t using their brains.
The man, if he was proving successful, obviously had the blessing of God Almighty. The Holy Spirit is not a talisman that one would pick up on the street, pass a string through and tie around one’s neck, then illegitimately use.
It is the finger of God. If it did anything, it was because God intended it to be so.
Why, in fact, would you desire to stop somebody from working towards the same goal that you work for? Only pride, thinking that “we haven’t given him OUR permission to do this work.” This prideful attitude was the very same reason the Jewish leaders hated Jesus, -Jesus didn’t seek their permission. As if He needed it. As if God, and the Holy Spirit needed a man’s permission to work miracles.
The CO chimed in with the mantra... “we see order, order, order and organization” and where the actual words attributed to Jesus teach that there is no need for an ‘Organization’ of any sort, The Watchtower text turns it into the complete opposite, even more thoroughly with the help of an Uber Elder or CO.
Thick as a brick.
(w08 3/15 31 ¶2)
9:49, 50—Why did Jesus not prevent a man from expelling demons, even though the man was not following him? Jesus did not prevent the man because the Christian congregation had not yet been formed. Hence, it was not required that the man physically accompany Jesus in order to exercise faith in Jesus’ name and expel demons.—Mark 9:38-40.Lessons for Us:1:32, 33; 2:19, 51. Mary preserved in her heart the events and sayings that fulfilled prophecies. Do we treasure

Money... $$$$
by lastmanstanding inoh the money.. this years rc gave me a thought as i watched the money pour in.. at the circuit assemblies, the one dayers now, the “deficit” has been announced and the dubs expected to “rise to the occasion” with their cash.
we all thought that dubs, eventually, would do the math and see that the watchtower boys were charging a per-head fee.
we thought that this would make them think, and they would see the money grubbing.

Too late for this year, as the conventions are now history. But coming up to next year, I will buy a hi def cam that I can hide, and I will get “the procession” footage at our convention.
Needless to say, the GB (Gas Bags) have their minions reading here, so they will be on the watch. But that’s not a deterrent, just a hurdle.

Oh the money.
This years RC gave me a thought as I watched the money pour in.
At the circuit assemblies, the one dayers now, the “deficit” has been announced and the dubs expected to “rise to the occasion” with their cash.
We all thought that dubs, eventually, would do the math and see that the Watchtower boys were charging a per-head fee. We thought that this would make them think, and they would see the money grubbing.
Alas... the Watchtower boys fully intended that dubs do the math. They fully intended that pew-fillers would figure out that they need to put $12.00 in the box for each family member.
The Watchtower boys were training the dubs, preparing their feeble minds, so that when the RC came around, the Watchtower could ‘clean up’.
If you were a good dub, and you were trained to believe that you need to pay $12.00 per head for yourself and each of your family members, for the one day assembly, usually held at a Watchtower owned facility, then one would need to pay at least that amount for EACH and every day of the RC, plus some for the facility that was rented.
It was no accident that we figured out that there is a per-head fee, this was the Watchtower boy’s intention. I see them clean up.
But, the Watchtower boys have made it easy for us. They have left themselves ‘wide open’. See if you like my plan.
If you are so blessed to attend the RC, bring a tiny video camera. Start making video of the contribution boxes and the Debit/Credit payment areas. More importantly, video the contribution box processions.
The “procession” is not difficult to locate. It will occur in the same location on each occasion and on each day. Let the public see it.
The sisters line the corridor, just prior to the end of the sessions, mornings and afternoons. They clutch their box like their “everlasting life”(TM) was inside it. Just at the right moment and on cue, they launch. Out into the crowd they go! They race to their gawd assigned “spot” and the reaping begins. They heave a big sigh of relief as the first dollars come in, knowing that they will not return with an empty box, knowing that everllife is still on the table for them.
Youtube needs a video of this.
The Public needs to see what makes the tower tick.
The video could start with a horse race track announcer (audio) and as the sisters launch, the pistol fires and the announcers declares “AND THEY’RE OFF!”. The sisters advance in a fury and the music now comes in, its the song “Money” by Pink Floyd.
The music could be timed to work with the sliding of the credit cards through the hand-held blood-sucking machines that only a few choice sisters use.
Could we all start collecting footage of the processions? Also footage of the money flying into the boxes and the debit-credit machines. Footage of the venue and the dubs filing in.
