  Secrets of JW Elder Power

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several days ago i posted a topic about how the newly reinstated could be disfellowshipped again for failing to attend meetings or particiapte in field service.

  (this was based on the issue of lacking works that befit repentance.

  ) i used cautionary language about how this ""can"" happen, but was accused of making "dogmatic assertions" and that the organization book and the flock book never authorize such, and most of all the s-77 form sent into the society would trigger a co visit were it to state such things.

  144,000 (yeah, I know)

  by ThirdEye in

  2. beliefs

  ok, so you believe that only 144,000 people will be in heaven at the end.

  but, in revelations 7, it says that 144,000 from all the tribes of israel will stand be for the lamb and the throne of god.

  and the it goes on to say the 12,000 from each tribe.

  by hawkaw in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is to alert all folks in canada and the united states that a civil court case will be going to trial on september 8, 2002 in the greater toronto area.

  again this case is a civil case and not a criminal case.

  the case involves one vicki boer who now resides in eastern canada.

  Data Protection Act (?)

  by teejay in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a quote from panorama that i found very interesting:

  what they did was keep a record of her fathers name and confession on a church database, a register of suspected and convicted paedophiles to be monitored.

  we asked alison cousins to obtain a copy of her records using the data protection act ... there in black and white was proof that the jehovahs witnesses had known for three years that her father was a self confessed paedophile.

  Quotes from Panorama tonight...

  by termite 35 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  love to all those victims on tonights programme; what courageous children and teenagers you are.thanks to bill bowen who came across as the voice of calm reason.

  the panorama child abuse programme has just finished.

  the elders and ted jaraz(gb) were made to look like inarticulate, weak, men with a lot to hide...which of course they are.

  So...how to get UN NGO *book*

  by Xander in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know i've seen reference to the un ngo listing document somewhere.

  as i recall, the '2002' edition was published before the wtbts withdrew from the un, such that they were still listed in it.

  now, my family (all good jws) are insisting we come over for my mom's anniversary and i'm, like, 100% sure they are planning on bringing up our recent very obviously anti-jw behavior.

  UK & IRELAND MAP

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
