@Crazyguy -- They read it from a letter the borg sent. It was basically about the media slandering God's name, how they were wrong and biased because they wouldn't look at all the information that was provided to them. It was just that + scriptures being read.

Edit: They also pulled JW.org on the projector to the aritcle that talks about pedophiles.

The meeting was in Spanish, actually. My friend is learning Spanish and he invited me to come along with him. Spanish is kind of my second language as I lived in Spain with my grandparents for few years.

I was invited to a congregation in Ontario, Canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.

This talk replaced the two last parts of "Living as a Christian" section. He started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us. Some key points:

- The media is WRONG

- They are biased

- The media has decided to ignore all the material on JW.org regarding Child Abuse despite them telling to look into the articles, broadcasting and magazine articles about protecting the child(s) /members of the cong.

- These "slanders" are SATANIC LIES

- Satan is bad and hates us

- We love you and hope you remain strong.

Second part of the talk was about answering two questions.

1. How do JWs view child abuse?

Answer: It's wrong and elders have authorization to report these scumbags to the authorities.

(Now here's the part I do not understand. I thought they weren't allowed to do this, can someone point me to a source or reference to show it to my friend? He has lost faith because of the new child abuse cases)

They also, said and read a scripture about how God forgives everyone and how people can have a change of heart but since elders can't read hearts it is possible that these people may commit the same offences. He added as well, that these people would never be able to hold important positions in the cong. Cited Watchtower from Jan 1997.

(Is this also true or is there a twist behind this?)

2. How can we help our families understand that these are cruel lies?

They encouraged everyone and gave sort of like a pre made outline of what to say. I really hate this cult! The outline said to encourage family or people from service to look at the other side of the coin. Also, encouraged bros and sis to cite stuff from an article on JW.org about Pedophiles.

and that was it!

It all felt like a really bad press release // damage control. I felt really sick because I've seen the AU Royal Commission stuff and that isn't a lie, it is out there, even on video. But they just tell people that it is a lie and to look the other way when confronted about it. Sickening!

Just a reminder about voting

by Simon in

there appear to be some people who are of the mistaken opinion that endlessly clicking the like or dislike button 20x will mean 20x votes.. it doesn't !!!.

only one vote is ever counted.

1 user, 1 vote, each post.

I've only done this couple of times but only to test if it was a browser related bug. So my apologies.

i am taking orders for the limited collection that's guaranteed to bring you lots of enjoyment while you borrow your child's other toys pretending their your return visits.

if you missed out on the "gold girls" lego sets being sold after facebook and twitter made lego see the gold your in luck because the watchtower has assured the manufacture your going to sign a monthly pledge stating you can afford $7.77 for eight months.
