poor ms washington! I wonder if he stole money from her without her knowledge. He ripped off so many people. ( I watched a video where he stole from the sons of his housekeeper-made me think maybe if was no accident so he could pull and insurance scam. )

Deaf Aotearoa flooded with complaints about Jehovah's Witness church
by OrphanCrow indeaf aotearoa flooded with complaints about jehovah's witness churchkashka tunstalllast updated 15:22, october 6 2015deaf aotearoa has asked the jehovah's witness church to respond to claims of a deaf information database.new zealand's deaf community is fed up with unsolicited house calls, claiming the jehovah's witness church is targeting deaf households.deaf aotearoa has received multiple complaints from around the country and says church members visited certain homes because they were aware a deaf person lived there.
the organisation released a statement on monday, saying it was looking into the possibility the church holds a database listing the details of members of the deaf community.jehovah witness spokesman rod spinks said there was no such database and deaf people were not being targeted.the deaf aotearoa statement was posted on the group's facebook page, and received a flood of comments from frustrated people.one woman said a group of jehovah's witnesses had come to her house and asked "for the deaf person who lives here.
" she said they refused to explain how they had her details and didn't visit her neighbours.another said church members had turned up at her work and asked for her by name.hamilton man royce flynn said he had been visited six times over the last nine months, despite repeatedly saying he was uninterested in the house calls.he said the church members were always able to sign and also brought deaf people along, which lead him to believe he was being singled out.flynn said contacted local police, who told him it was a privacy issue and referred him on to the office of the privacy commissioner.he said he had been been in contact with local labour member of parliament sue moroney.deaf aotearoa acting chief executive jill dean said complaints about the church were a recurring issue.

a friend of old friends told me the couple went to I believe somewhere in South American for sign language for the deaf. I knew they had gone to Florida for sign language, but evidently moved on. Here is what I really want to say about it. She told me they went into the other country as students in order to get the visa. The organization has no issues with false documentation to further their interests.

No Private Beliefs Allowed!
by BereanThinker7 inlooking for references that talk about witnesses not being able to hold any private interpretation or belief that isn't in line with official doctrine.

Everyone who is a JW or is studying should read this: You are deserving of death if you put the Bible over WT Publications. The agenda hasn't changed. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/131122/1954-douglas-walsh-transcript-pdf

I think somewhere on this forum there was recently posted a "letter" to the elders with a list of "social services" to share with the needy. No mention of applying to WT

per Sea Breeze- "They will tell you that what they put kids through is nothing short of criminal" ....I knew a family of with two children and I would have hated to be one of those kids. One is bipolar - in and out of hospitals for cutting, etc. Here is an irony: The family took on welfare foster children for extra money. The son in the family knew these kids were there because of a bad home life. He turned his own family ( the JW ) into the welfare and was allowed to leave the home to live with his grandmother.

Sea Breeze and Beth Sarim...I know a woman who totally looses control of her head and gets in a bad way when her husband is verbally abusive towards her. I would say it is somewhat psychosomatic or a form of ptsd caused by a former husband. I think many woman in the world are physically ill because of verbal abuse. ( maybe men too-but woman for sure.) I know of a "sister" who underwent exploratory surgery to try to figure out what ailed her. She was in constant pain and thought maybe endometriosis. Drs found nothing. When her adulterous husband finally left, she got over it and the nasty migraines. As kids we would say, sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. Well, the Bible is proved true at Pro 12:18 thoughless speech is like the stabs of a sword....
So I wonder how much of the depression and illness is the result of abusive home life.

Scriptures That Bothered You as a JW Kid.
by Sea Breeze inmy big one was: .

20: 5 "but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

the scriptures that bothered me were these stories: the angels came into Lot and the men of the city wanted to have relations with the men and Lot offered his daughters. Then there is the traveler fellow with a concubine who was taken in from the city square by an old fellow and the townsmen wanted to have relations with the traveler...so they give over the woman and she is raped to death! ( so traveler cuts up her body and distributes it throughout the area) So much for chivalry!! So much for depravity! ( not as a kid, but to this day )
Another one that I never could figure out: David counts the people and what was it, 70,000 die? Not to mention That by all rights David and Bathsheba should have been killed under the law.--when I think of David, I think as bad as I have known some men to be, they weren't any worse than David-

UNDERSTANDING WHY THE ORGANIZATION is a false idol and a BLASPHEMY
by Terry indo we understand these three words: worship, idolatry, and blasphemy?.
most christians have a vague notion of worship, idolatry, and blasphemy already, but.
a clear definition is necessary.. we must take care to differentiate, however.. how the words appear in original language and how they are defined today might be at odds.. ____________________.

those pics put up by vanderhoven7 are so telling if you really think about what is going on. I remember not liking it that the blue logo ended up on all of the KH...totally glorifies the org. I will add to that the lapel pins and jewelry with JWorg on it....How would that be different than Christians wearing the cross...which the org would quickly point out as wrong? I never trusted a salesperson who came wearing a cross like they want you to believe they are a Christian so you can trust them.

Anony Mous I never thought of the fibromyalgia or chronic Fatigue syndrome...but yes! a lot of that in the org. I also knew of a woman who had to sit in the perfume free room because she was so effected she couldn't talk. I really think this was more a mental problem than an allergy because she could work making draperies and the like...How does this work with all the dyes and chemicals and smells, not to mention lint and dust in the fabrics? My thought was in her mind her voice was taken away at the meetings, so to speak.

What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?
by Sea Breeze inwe all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.
my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

If your consciousness doesn't cease, why would there ever need to be a resurrection? (duh!-you didn't die at all-just like the serpent said Eve wouldn't die ) Personally I believe what Ecc 9:5,10 says about the condition of the dead and Jesus reaffirmed that when likening Lazarus to being asleep who Martha knew would be resurrected on the last day- - And for those of you who choose not to believe the Bible at all, what difference does it make to you?
