I also noticed that there's not one word in there about child sexual abuse.

It's interesting on page 57 that it says that if a woman is raped at gunpoint and doesn't try to fight her attacker off or scream she doesn't have to be disfellowshipped but can be considered an unintentional first offender "and should be dealt with accordingly."
Bloody hell! So sanctity of life doesn't enter into it. Just aggravate your attacker and then let him blow out your brains. Was there a rapist on the GB?

Its intersting to note though that the brochure has been included in the 2012 Watchtower Library .
That leads me to think that the WTS must have recently got into trouble over the Trinity booklet. It's like they're suddenly hiding it behind their back with a guilty look on their face and a lame excuse. "What, that? Oh, it's nothing."

Disgusting, but so typical. I hope the survivor has plenty of support from her family.

Urban legend? Or did this really happen when they renovated The Towers?
by cobaltcupcake inmy ex-husband was in bethel when the society bought and started renovating the towers hotel in brooklyn.
my family stayed there when the society was renting a few floors - the place was beyond flea-bag - and people actually lived there.
once the society took possession of the building they started renovating, and of course the residents had to be evicted.

Sometimes sorry isn't enough...
by cedars ini thought you might like to see a rare example of the society saying the actual word "sorry" in the literature.. in 1992 someone wrote in to the awake!
and their comment was published in the july 8th edition in the "from our readers" section, page 30.. their comment read as follows.... "your suggestion that sex education be considered a 'family secret' could accidentally result in great difficulty for some of your readers.
social workers, teachers, nurses, and other professionals are now trained to watch for signs of child abuse.

I don't think the elite GB would care to rub shoulders with the unwashed "Other Sheep" masses.

Planning exit, alternative venues to preach?
by Goodstein inbackground:.
i've come to the conclusion that many doctrines of the wts are unscriptural after many years of privately disagreeing with some of them but feeling that the society was "mostly right" and still being used by jehovah.
this turning point has happened in the last year or so.

Pioneering - the best job in the world!
by MMXIV inhow often did i hear those words at circuit or district assemblies - that pioneering was the best job in the world?
how often did i hear a fake job advert for pioneering where there was 100% job satisfaction working for the most powerful person in the universe and you'd get to travel the world and live forever.... i've done both jobs and would say that the job advert should more honestly read like this:.
secular job.

I tried pioneering a couple of times. It was soul-crushing.
