Jehovah's Witnesses The touchstone of offense
A Swiss court ruled on known allegations against Jehovah's Witnesses, from ostracizing renegades to the two-witness rule regarding sexual abuse. That could also raise doubts about German case law

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.

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 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.
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.

what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.
- economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.
- politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.

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".
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.
as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

Its going public. Although the hearings are not yet closed??? Dare them. This will speeeed up the Rally for the cults. Attoneys of JW ate just bunkering and preparing for more heavy hailstones.
the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa) is holding a public hearing in the child protection in religious organisations and settings investigation for the next two weeks.
the provisional timetable for the first week was released today: https://www.iicsa.org.uk/key-documents/17795/view/2020-03-12-cpiros-public-hearing-week-one-timetable.pdf .
five witnesses will testify on the jw issue next thursday, 19 march:.

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