  I'm looking foward to the new system. Just think, after a billion years, we will all know everything, have seen everything, done everything, been everywhere, know everybody, etc... I can just imagine the great conversations we will all have. I hope that nobody will mind if I repeat the same old boring story once every million years.

  mr. brown: child abuse is an evil.

  it's an evil of our time: it's an evil in our society.

  we abhor it.

  Our second priority has to do with the perpetrators. We are concerned about their receiving the help they need.

  I wonder what form of help they offer. It seems that priority 2 and priority 3 are reversed.

  Mr. Brown: Child abuse is an evil. It's an evil of our time: it's an evil in our society. And so
  we abhor it. The Bible says you should "hate what is bad" and that certainly
  would include child abuse.

  We have a number of initiatives we've taken to make sure children are protected.
  And one is to make sure parents are educated. And over the past 10 to 15 years,
  we've published numerous articles and other materials, especially for the elders,
  telling them what needs to be done to help those who have been victimized in this
  way.

  Mr. Brumley: Our to priority is to protect the victims. And we want to make sure that
  watever steps need to be taken are taken, both by the elders, by the relatives, and
  by the congregation in general. Our second priority has to do with the
  perpetrators. We are concerned about their receiving the help they need. Our
  third priority is to see to it that secular authorities are indeed informed of the
  accusation.

  Mr. Brown: We have no objection to the laws of the land that come into play to be enforced
  on whatever has taken place there. Crime is crime. And we recognize there are
  penalties for crimes committed.

  When we speak of child abuse, we have to look at society as a whole. This has
  become a burning issue in the last 20 or 30 years. And so society in general has
  been, more or less, plagued with this problem. And all sorts of organizations and
  agencies are grappling with how to best handle this.

  JWs' Letter to Dateline

  by jschwehm in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i just got a copy of the society's letter to dateline as to why they would not agree to an on-camera interview.. they said that since dateline told them that most of the people that they were interviewing considered themselves active jws, that for the headquarters to make a statement that it would make it appear as though "brother" was speaking out against "brother".

  and that a nationally televised program was not the appropriate forum for them to work out their differences.

  (this is interesting since the pandelos and barb have been dfed, haven't they?).

  " it would make it appear as though "brother" was speaking out against "brother".

  This the root of the pedophile problem. The Watchtower is more concerned with its image than the real problem. The pedophile problem can wait on Jehovah, but the PR problem needs action now.
  This is one sick organization.

  Witnesses posting on forums should just categorize and number all of their experiences. They could all memorize the numbers for each experience. Then they could just refer to them on their forums by number. This would save them a lot of time when posting.

  I think the Watchtower should immediately implement this as new light.
  It would save dubs countless hours that could be applied to their false service reports.

  What is the point?

  The JW boards that I belong to are so heavily moderated that they are void of any intelligent discussion. Just the same old drivel replayed over and over and over and over.

  The most exciting topic on one of these boards was whether you should take your shoes off at the book study. This got so many replies that people started complaining about everyone talking about it. Then everyone started complaining about everyone complaining. I got so excited I almost pissed on myself.

  Waste of time, unless you’re into composing organizationally correct statements about your wonderful experiences as a witness.

  Watchtower Media preps for Dateline!

  watchtower spin doctors!.

  dr. gail bethea-jackson tells us that we didn't know what child abuse was 18-20 years ago.

  gag on this one!.

  That is the biggest load of cr*p I have ever heard.
  

  Parents didn't know the seriousness, 18 or 20 years ago, and the long-term effects.

  If we reverse this line of reasoning, this means that:

  If there are no long-term effects then child molestation is not very serious?

  This is wrong!!!! This pisses me off. The Watchtower should be ashamed to have that on their Website.

  After reading this thread, it occurred to me that the Watchtower organization is so obsessed with suppressing it's members individuality (no individual opinions, no birthdays, no mothers day, etc...), that they cannot show a the slightest empathy toward those that have been hurt by their stupidity. Concern for the individual members is impossible from this d*mn Organization.

  Have your prayers changed?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a sort of follow up to "jesus- ignored, forgotten & unemployed at wts" posted by metatron.. it strikes me, that since i have re-appraised many of my religious views that my prayers have changed significantly.

  and whilst i am still an active jw, i have wondered whether my family has noticed, though they have not said anything so far.. jws prayers are not only very stereotyped (despite what jesus admonition about not using the same words, or by extension the same thoughts, over and over again) but also extremely introverted towards the watchtower society.. for example, a typical congregation prayer will include the following thoughts;.

  1. bless our congregation.

  Dear pseudoxristos, please ......

  This way I know someone will hear my prayer.

  Micheal the ArcAngel/Jesus the man

  by plmkrzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i understand that a lot believe that micheal and jesus are one in the same some believe that jehovah and jesus are one in the same some believe that one is the son of god yadda yadda yadda.. would some of you please address or post your reasons for believing that micheal the arc angel was not gods first creation and why he couldn't be the one sent to us to be born as a man and become our savyor?

  why would he not have another name fitting his role as a man on earth?

  he obviously wouldn't be living on earth as a child growing up as an angel.

  Hey, I remember this thread. Good one. The one thing I learned from it was, that you can't debate with someone about their invisible friends.
