  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/11/28/australian-jehovahs-witnesses-protected-over-a-thousand-members-accused-of-child-abuse-report-says/.

  over the course of about six decades, more than 1,000 members of the jehovah’s witnesses were accused of sexually abusing australian children, according to a new report.

  victims were ordered to keep quiet.

  Australia: 1005 cases of any form of sexual abuse since 1950. In 56 years.
  Lets divide 1005 through 700 congregations. That make 1,4 abusers in 56 years per congregation. 60000 JW compared with 1005 cases makes 1,6 % of publishers are going from house to house and are a risk. They should always have company and certainly no minors.

  USA 25000 unreported cases according to the press in 14000 congregations. Makes. 1,7 abuser case in 56 years (if 1950 was the year the worldwide collection of data began) That brings us to 1200000 JW in USA compared to 25000 cases makes even 2 % of publishers a risk.

  Canada 116000 publishers with 1,6 % "risk of abuse" makes 1856 possible cases again for 56 years.

  __

  What if the 25000 cases are meant worldwide? Then we would get a better picture.

  If you take 118000 congregations and divide it through 25000 you get 4,7. Each 4th or 5th congregation would have had an abuse case in 56 years. That would even make a better image.

  If we applied a cautious 1,5 percent risk ratio worldwide we would get with 8000000 JW exactly 80000 abuse cases worldwide in 56 years notabene.

  Violence and women - a worldwide problem
  

  Two factors are important:

  - Many unreported cases

  - experts say that each 3rd woman has been abused or beaten or experienced other forms of violence in a lifetime (30% of all women)

  In that case and in this bandwith the 1-2% of abuse cases in the JW-church are not so much in quantity but dreadful because they happen in a socially closed group with unacceptable rules e.g. they go hand in hand with shunning and loose of all family and social peer group contact.

  Even if violence is not included in the 1-2 % it seems that the percentage of violence and abuse in the JW church is less than in the average population.

  Nevertheless the JW-cases go hand in hand with other forms of psychological abuse and violence. (shunning eg.) which also counts heavily for the victims.

  sThank you for the information.

  Instead he argues that texts are always fluid and their dynamism should be explored rather than tamed by dubious static notions of originality and corruption.

  Thats indeed a very important saying. Because from the oral tradition to the writings and even in the time of writing down the New Testament memories or letters there was no central authority that decided what kind of text is "acceptable" or not. The "writing down"-project was a "living" project.... as you call it "dynamic".

  The fact that there are version of the text e.g. in Acts where we have a text with and without "strangled", texts with better grammer or less grammer, more fanciful stories and more autere stories, all this is hint that it doesnt turn around what is the earliest manuscript but about how the text developed, was accepted, then how it was used, by whom and for what and where. Alone these things are things we can be happy to have a bible, a single word, or phrase can reveal much about the history of development but doesnt urge us to become literalits and bigoted.

  
  

  This is an interesting series of lectures about the Development of the New Testament, by Prof. Dr. Stefan Schreiber at University Heidelberg. - from oral tradition until biblical canon principle. He compares the development of the biblical canon with the differene between sect and church.

  "Plurality is allowed and at the same time limited, thats the canon principle."
  

  This decision is important if one thinks socialogical.
  For a sect, as social term, its characteristic that it creates homogenity. Members of a sect have to follow very plain the rules of the group and there is nothing outside of the group. A very plain limited course.

  For a church it is again characteristic that it is plural but not arbitrary. In a church more streams will have room.

  For me that seems to be very important if I look in my church.....where there are certain tendencies of narrowing. It is not liked anymore that one thinks to much in this or that direction. That is not in.

  Thats understandable at one hand, because one has then a clear line, but on the other side there is the problem that the plurality that is inherent for Christendom falls by the wayside.- Then church becomes a narrow corrodor and no vastness" (translation mine)

  The bible development, the acceptance of bandwith, more spectrum than one in the canonization-process, how the church handled it, itself is a witness for PLURALITY at one hand and LIMITATION at the other hand. Thoughts have to be allowed. A sect can even be created by publishing an own bible translation.

  If the Governing Body would listen to such information that would change much in the watchtowers understanding.

  Another german poet who mentions "jehova"

  Da war der Fucks, ein blinder Heid'
  Und persönlicher Feind des Jehova,
  Glaubt nur an Hegel und etwa noch
  An die Venus des Canova.

  ...

  Der Edle hatte ausgehaucht
  Die große Seele soeben,
  Und wird als verklärter Seraph jetzt
  Am Throne Jehovas schweben.
  

  Wintermärchen by Heinrich Heine

  From "spoken german lyrics" + search for appearances of "jehova"

  http://www.deutschelyrik.de/index.php/suche.html?keywords=jehova

  ___

  If God is real "he" "she" is "present" "omnipresent", okaaay.

  The poet speaks of the omnipresence of god in the most holy and says that you and me can be there in the most holy and that this is a matter of awareness. This seems to be a typcial "christianty"-idea, a pagan idea for JW of course.

  I like that idea much more than the distortet worldview of Jehovahs witnesses that since 1914 we have an "invisible presence of God or jesus" after his already happened "coming" as king of the kingdom and waiting for the ultimate "coming at armageddon or whatever".
  
  I wish you a beautiful Advent-time, a tradition that is 500% more beautiful than the distortet gospel of watchtower.

  Just read this by TerryWalstrom?

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5704311231217664/silly-obsession-jehovahs-witnesses-conspiracy-theory-about-return-christ
  

  The bible is a book of hope, memories and sages of hebrews and jews and it doesnt proove the existence of God. It doesnt give the answer "Why", but it only asks why the evil exists. Jesus on the cross asked the father "Why"?when he cited the psalm.

  My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
  Why so far from my call for help,
  from my cries of anguish?a NABRE

  
  

  Christians did not really understand why all that happend, why this wonderful man jesus was killed. Now he was a cursed.

  But as they have known what Jesus preached and knew his mercy and how he loved his folks they "feeled" that he was near to god, like in gods presence, and so they began to preach that love would overcome lately the evils of the world.

  The message of Jesus, concentration on the presence of god, what is namely meant with the "kingdom", and "heaven", becoming praying people was always more important than answers. If one prays, acts in mercy and love and rightousness than the "heaven" and the "kingdom" is already present, has already come to you.

  Thats my adventstory for you.

  Somebody should paint a sequel of Asterix and Obelix about the Question "Jehovah is invisible present".

  Or we could listen to Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstocks "Die Allgegenwart Gottes" - "The Omnipresence of God"

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkT2NwJ0eiw

  
  

  Wenige nur, ach, wenige sind,
  Deren Aug in der Schöpfung
  Den, der geschaffen har, sieht!
  Wenige, deren Ohr
  In dem mächtigen Rauschen des Sturmwinds,
  Im Donner, der rollt,
  Oder im lispelnden Bache,
  Den Unerschaffnen hört!
  Wenige Herzen erfüllt
  Mit Ehrfurcht und Schauer
  Gottes Allgegenwart.

  Lass mich, im Heiligtume,
  Dich, Allgegenwärtiger!
  Stets suchen, und finden!
  Und wenn er mir entflieht,
  dieser himmlische Gedanke,
  lass mich ihn tiefanbetend
  Aus den Chören der Seraphim
  Ihn mit lauten Tränen der freude
  Herunter rufen,
  Damit ich, dich zu schaun,
  Mich bereite, mich weihe,
  Dich zu schaun!
  Im Allerheiligsten!

  Googling for "Kiergegaaard" I found this site "Science". What is this about. Is this about God? Did jehovah write this wikiquotes?

  If jehovah had really something to say then this would be the occassion to say it now and to post a comment here and now. If he agrees or not.

  https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Science

  We have become aware of the massive information contained in the genes. There is no known way to science how that information can arise spontaneously. It requires an intelligence; it cannot arise from chance events. Just mixing letters does not produce words.” He added: “For example, the very complex DNA, RNA, protein replicating system in the cell must have been perfect from the very start. If not, life systems could not exist. The only logical explanation is that this vast quantity of information came from an intelligence.

  Die Frühlingsfeier

  Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock

  (1759/71)

  (Vgl. die 1. Fassung)

  Nicht in den Ozean der Welten alle Will ich mich stürzen! schweben nicht, Wo die ersten Erschaffnen, die Jubelchöre der Söhne des Lichts, Anbeten, tief anbeten! und in Entzückung vergehn! Nur um den Tropfen am Eimer, Um die Erde nur, will ich schweben, und anbeten! Halleluja! Halleluja! Der Tropfen am Eimer Rann aus der Hand, des Allmächtigen auch! Da der Hand des Allmächtigen Die größeren Erden entquollen! Die Ströme des Lichts rauschten, und Siebengestirne wurden, Da entrannest du, Tropfen, der Hand des Allmächtigen! Da ein Strom des Lichts rauscht', und unsre Sonne wurde! Ein Wogensturz sich stürzte wie vom Felsen Der Wolk' herab, und den Orion gürtete, Da entrannest du, Tropfen, der Hand des Allmächtigen! Wer sind die tausendmal tausend, wer die Myriaden alle, Welche den Tropfen bewohnen, und bewohnten? und wer bin ich? Halleluja dem Schaffenden! mehr wie die Erden, die quollen! Mehr, wie die Siebengestirne, die aus Strahlen zusammenströmten! Aber du Frühlingswürmchen, Das grünlichgolden neben mir spielt, Du lebst; und bist vielleicht Ach nicht unsterblich! Ich bin heraus gegangen anzubeten, Und ich weine? Vergieb, vergieb Auch diese Thräne dem Endlichen, O du, der seyn wird! Du wirst die Zweifel alle mir enthüllen, O du, der mich durch das dunkle Thal Des Todes führen wird! Ich lerne dann, Ob eine Seele das goldene Würmchen hatte. Bist du nur gebildeter Staub, Sohn des Mays, so werde denn Wieder verfliegender Staub, Oder was sonst der Ewige will! Ergeuß von neuem du, mein Auge, Freudenthränen! Du, meine Harfe, Preise den Herrn! Umwunden wieder, mit Palmen Ist meine Harf' umwunden! ich singe dem Herrn! Hier steh ich. Rund um mich Ist Alles Allmacht! und Wunder Alles! Mit tiefer Ehrfurcht schau ich die Schöpfung an, Denn Du! Namenloser, Du! Schufest sie! Lüfte, die um mich wehn, und sanfte Kühlung Auf mein glühendes Angesicht hauchen, Euch, wunderbare Lüfte, Sandte der Herr! der Unendliche! Aber jetzt werden sie still, kaum athmen sie. Die Morgensonne wird schwül! Wolken strömen herauf! Sichtbar ist, der komt, der Ewige! Nun schweben sie, rauschen sie, wirbeln die Winde! Wie beugt sich der Wald! wie hebt sich der Strom! Sichtbar, wie du es Sterblichen seyn kanst, Ja, das bist du, sichtbar, Unendlicher! Der Wald neigt sich, der Strom fliehet, und ich Falle nicht auf mein Angesicht? Herr! Herr! Gott! barmherzig und gnädig! Du Naher! erbarme dich meiner! Zürnest du, Herr, Weil Nacht dein Gewand ist? Diese Nacht ist Segen der Erde. Vater, du zürnest nicht! Sie komt, Erfrischung auszuschütten, Über den stärkenden Halm! Über die herzerfreuende Traube! Vater, du zürnest nicht! Alles ist still vor dir, du Naher! Rings umher ist Alles still! Auch das Würmchen mit Golde bedeckt, merkt auf! Ist es vielleicht nicht seelenlos? ist es unsterblich? Ach, vermöcht' ich dich, Herr, wie ich dürste, zu preisen! Immer herlicher offenbarest du dich! Immer dunkler wird die Nacht um dich, Und voller von Segen! Seht ihr den Zeugen des Nahen den zückenden Strahl? Hört ihr Jehova's Donner? Hört ihr ihn? hört ihr ihn, Den erschütternden Donner des Herrn? Herr! Herr! Gott! Barmherzig, und gnädig! Angebetet, gepriesen Sey dein herlicher Name! Und die Gewitterwinde? sie tragen den Donner! Wie sie rauschen! wie sie mit lauter Woge den Wald durchströmen! Und nun schweigen sie. Langsam wandelt Die schwarze Wolke. Seht ihr den neuen Zeugen des Nahen, den fliegenden Strahl? Höret ihr hoch in der Wolke den Donner des Herrn? Er ruft: Jehova! Jehova! Und der geschmetterte Wald dampft! Aber nicht unsre Hütte! Unser Vater gebot Seinem Verderber, Vor unsrer Hütte vorüberzugehn! Ach, schon rauscht, schon rauscht Himmel, und Erde vom gnädigen Regen! Nun ist, wie dürstete sie! die Erd' erquickt, Und der Himmel der Segensfüll' entlastet! Siehe, nun komt Jehova nicht mehr im Wetter, In stillem, sanftem Säuseln Komt Jehova, Und unter ihm neigt sich der Bogen des Friedens!

  Washington Post is carrying the story: Australian Jehovah’s Witnesses protected over a thousand members accused of child abuse, report says

  over the course of about six decades, more than 1,000 members of the jehovah’s witnesses were accused of sexually abusing australian children, according to a new report.

  victims were ordered to keep quiet.

  I bet you anything that the GB simply waited for the report to have a basis for a legal and scriptural response and react more smoothly to the accusations. They only act if the authority wants it . Perhaps they waited for this loophole to get rid of shunning and 2 witness rule and throw both away. They cant do it themselves, but only if they are urged by authorities.

  What if they offered a deal: they could hand out to the Commission the "australian files" about all cases and open it for a "public" police and legal check-through or simple give insight to the computer-database?

  Then they could invite the officials to the new Headquarters in America and show them how they "hort" the "abuse cases" withouth reporting them, so claring that and how their JW intelligence works fine.

  Then together with the lawyers from the higher authority each case shall receive special attention and time, a detailed agenda will be worked out, what to do and how to recompense victims.

  And here we have a manuscript that is called P.Bodmer XVII or P74 (Papyrus 74) and dates to the 7th century.
  One remaining sheet contaings Acts Chapter 15.

  
  

  There are whole books about the history of this Payprus.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_74

  Now let us look for our passage...

  

  This cut out starts with the "alla" but and ends with "Moses"

  Do we have "strangled" - "Pniktos" here? Yes its that

  in the forelast line. "kai pniktou"

  And now lets jump to the

  Codex Vaticanus (325 - 350 A.D.) ,now in Vatican City

  Will we again find the "strangled meat"?

  its in the forelast and last line namely divided in PNI and Ktou, you will find it.

  

  Moses in the second line is not inserted! What a beautiful hand writing from the 4th century!
  It has been preserved until today!

  

  Here you have it:

  

  καὶ -kai τῆς (tes) πορνείας = "porneis" καὶ (τοῦ) πνι (PNIK-

  

  κτοῦ (KTOU) = "suffocated" καὶ τοῦ αἵματος (Blood)

  
  

  Do your own research

  http://www.csntm.org/Manuscript/View/GA_03

  Goto the folio with Acts 15.2 and look for this text I have cut out, if you like. Each folio has 3 columns, dont give up, you can zoom in.

  
  

  Vers 20 of Ch.15 begins in the 3rd column in the sixth line with ONA followed by

  

  The last visible line of this cut out begins with Moses again, you see "Μωϋσῆς but in uncial letters

  "alla episteilai autois tou ape" - episteilai .....this is " contain, abstain"

  More about Vaticanus

  
  

  What do we know about the Vaticanus manuscript?

  A: Vaticanus (325-350 A.D.) is the oldest existing member of the Alexandrian manuscript family. It often is abbreviated as "B" or is called uncial 03.
  What has been preserved: Vaticanus has preserved only verses 46:29-50:26 in Genesis, and the rest of the Old Testament except for 2 Kings 2:5-7 and 1-13, and Psalm 105:27-137:6. The missing section in Psalms was added in the 15th century.
  Some apocryphal books are in Vaticanus, as are in most Greek Bibles. Vaticanus does not contain 1-4 Maccabees and the Prayer of Manasseh.
  The New Testament is all preserved up until Hebrews 9:15. After that some leaves were lost. It has none of 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Revelation. Aland references Vaticanus in the book of James, and the New International Greek Testament Commentary on James p.60 says Vaticanus contains the complete book of James.
  Physical Appearance: It was written with brown ink on expensive vellum, with each leaf being 27-28 centimeters square. There were three columns per page and 40-44 lines per column. Today it is in Vatican City in the middle of Rome
  Scribes and Correctors: One scribe wrote the Old Testament, and another wrote the New Testament. There were two correctors. One corrected the manuscript about 350 A.D. soon after it was written. The other corrector lived in the tenth or eleventh century.
  Distinctives of Vaticanus: It generally follows the other manuscripts in the Alexandrian family. It does not have John 7:53-8:11, Luke 22:43-44, and Luke 23:34. It Sinaiticus, it has a blank space for the longer ending of Mark. Vaticanus contains all of Romans (minus 16:24) in the same order as Bibles today.
  Jn 16:28 "from/by the Father" is in Vaticanus. Many other manuscripts have "came forth from the Father", including p5 (200-250 A.D.), p22, Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Ephraemi Rescriptus, Byzantine Lectionary, Diatessaron (c.170 A.D). See The Origin of the Bible p.181, A General Introduction to the Bible p.391-392, and Manuscripts of the Greek Bible p.74-75 for more info.
