  2. child-abuse

  i am writing to ask for your help in progressing our inquiries into the watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  as you may already know, our work is divided into two parts.

  one is an inquiry into the charity’s policy and practices on safeguarding children and adults who are vulnerable.

  Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

  judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

  imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

  by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  I'm only mildly surprised that no one has mentioned that on the first page of this thread, the OP, a person with zero training in chemistry, much less organic chemistry, admitted that they are using their own made-up, not actual definitions for things.

  Sorry, I was late to the thread. ;)

  I don’t find this source credible. The website is called nature publishing group. Is this group run by chemists or other people who don’t have scientific credentials?

  As oppose to your credentials......?

  Landy,
  Your questions are relevant and sensible and I will respond when I get time

  Don't worry about it - the questions were rhetorical.

  Good point snare.

  It is isn't it. How do you defend the point? If evolution is guided how do you explain that and the lots of other issues evolution has introduced?

  As an aside, the same process that gives us evolution and diversity.....gives us cancer. But I assume nobody (outside of the USA) wants to state God guides that?

  I think if god had guided evolution he maybe should have done a better job and steered round the numerous strange effects that evolution has given us.

  For those that carry on as JWs secretly not believing.....

  by snare&racket in

  my heart goes out for all people stuck in all high control groups, either with insight into the falsehood of their beliefs or none.. to remain a member whilst knowing it false however, must be soul destroying.. my question is, would you carry on living the lie if you discovered that we get one life, one go at existing.

  it's short, it's fragile and nobody in 100 years will care we even existed..... .......if you came to that realisation would you quit?.

  .......if you had children, would you leave in order to set them an example in strength and appreciation of the short time we enjoy?.

  Don't have sexual fantasies! Today's watchtower...

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower today says not to think of sex, or to have sexual fantasies.

  i'm just wondering... how many people in the hall hearing this watchtower today would be having sexual fantasies?

  sitting there thinking about sister hottie or brother hunky ?.

  I should go and tell the elders that I have sexual fantasies that all the elders are naked in a room and doing each other. See what they have to say.

  Thanks for that mental image! :(

  If god didn't intend us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them taste so nice.
