The verdict is a big success for free speech. It appears at a google search for News about Jehovas Zeugen in German at the top. Bravo! Well done JW. JW have always tried to shut critics, activists and journalists. They called critics about JW Verleumdung (.defamation ) what a bad word. Now help organisations can help and warn people without fear of being drawn before courts

"This judgment is also important because the religious community around the world tries to intimidate cult experts, journalists or activists with lawsuits.

Was the org speaking about themselves?

by BoogerMan in

w50 2/1 p. 41 par.

4 - "god is no respecter of persons.".

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1950082.

TheWonderofYou

The New King James Version translates “God is no respecter of persons” as “God shows no partiality.” James 2,9, no favoritism

I found the article interesting, it describes what might have been a profitable life for Jesus in the 1st century besides preaching:

- advancing science,

- lengthening the life span of the people through medical and social researches

- built up great cities with model housing or huge commercial organizations ,,

This so funny to read.

All things that are not profitable for JW, although the statutes of the organisation say they support science, and of course they build large houses that sometimes after selling bring profit and videoproduction studios, all things Jesus could only dream of in the old time.

The Great Crowd Fallacy

by Vanderhoven7 in

the great crowd of other sheep witnesses allegedly first began forming early on in the 20th century.

rutherford was totally unaware of this crowds existence until 1935. it was revealed to him in 1932 that the great crowd members were heaven-bound.

then light flashed from heaven in 1935 showing that this group was an earthly class.

TheWonderofYou

1918 -2020 : 102 years of investigative judgement of the great crowd. Note 1918 christ finally occupied his throne.

Cheers to this centennial for now. However we are yet under heavenly observation.

Greta Thunberg, Worse than Plague

by Simon in

so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.

specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.

she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".

TheWonderofYou

Now as Greta Thurnberg is now basically recovered from COVID-19, after she had a cold and stayed at home for 14 days, we wish her all best and much health for her work after the crisis.

End safeguarding self-regulation, IICSA urged

https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/12596/end-safeguarding-self-regulation-iicsa-urged

By contrast, when you think about the Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, the idea of a circuit or region of that church having a safeguarding commission staffed by secular professionals is totally inconceivable.
"It wouldn't happen, because the Jehovah's Witnesses's leadership regards the external world, the secular world, as corrupt and evil and not as a source of useful guidance and expertise. The Jehovah's Witnesses are, of course, entitled to hold the beliefs they do, but it has to be recognised that this belief system has important implications for child protection. It means that in many of the settings you are examining, secular expertise and child protection norms will not readily be welcomed voluntarily."

Are YOU a JW parasite?

by The Fall Guy in

every single member of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses (yb16 p. 176 2015 grand totals) – which includes all of the governing body, all bethelites, every jw missionary, every circuit overseer, and all special pioneers – are worse than people without* faith!

because they have all signed a vow of poverty which renders them as parasites, living off other people's earnings.

where in the bible is that a “principle”?

TheWonderofYou

They would say that they work for free and that they PROVIDE spiritual food and care for the household of faith

Corona Virus - What a UK Virologist says!

by The Fall Guy in

in an interview on the bbc yesterday, a virus expert laid it on the line:.

he basically said that until the vast majority of people have been infected (or eventually vaccinated) and are then immune from re-infection, the problem will not go away.

in other words, virtually all of us may be infected before a vaccine is delivered, thereby putting all of the at-risk elderly citizens in the uk in a really perilous position.

TheWonderofYou

Either herd immunity or vaccinating all people in the long run

To avoid a second peak in the winter, Vallance said the U.K. would suppress the virus “but not get rid of it completely,” while focusing on protecting vulnerable groups, such as the elderly. In the meantime, other people would get sick. But since the virus causes milder illness in younger age groups, most would recover and subsequently be immune to the virus. This “herd immunity” would reduce transmission in the event of a winter resurgence. On skynews Vallance said that “probably about 60 percent” of people would need to be infected to achieve herd immunity.
