according to my older brother, my mother now refuses to watch the news in case they mention this story.
funny, when the news exposed the catholic church she turned the volume up.. at least 20 former jehovah's witnesses are suing the group over historical sexual abuse they say they suffered.the group has a policy of not punishing alleged child sex abuse unless a second person, alongside the accuser, has witnessed it - or an abuser confesses.it says its elders "comply with child-abuse reporting laws even if there is only one witness", though, and always tell police if a child is in danger.but one former elder said it had been failing to involve the authorities.john viney, who says he was abused between the ages of nine and 13, by "a distant family member who was an active jehovah's witness", added children were still being abused and the religious organisation was "inadvertently" protecting their abusers.
Blaming the parents who have been groomed to trust “Jehovah” by the same people who wrote the policies that have historically protected abusers...🤢🤢🤢
Let’s not forget that Ted Jaracz has been proven to be involved in orchestrating the Pedo-database.
These people are sick.

after the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.
Just a bunch of old tools desperately holding to on to some semblance of relevance in their tiny sphere of influence.

hi guys...well watchtower gets wackier and wackier!.
so watchtower has hired the author of several books on satanism & self proclaimed 'vampire' society member(!
) vlad...i mean massimo introvigne to defend them against a report by two academics recommending the dutch govt investigate jws.
Well, I’m not sure if this is worse than hiring Monica Applewhite or not?? I’m not even shocked at this behavior on their part.
5 or so years ago when I had my existential crisis and learned TTATT, I was shocked at every turn. If you told me tomorrow that the Governing Body ride underground magnetic trains to meet with Reptilians and eat children it would not shock me.

just incredible imho.

The GB are idiots and they aren’t in charge anyway. I’m not sure who really owns them and I may never know, but they are definitely managed by some entity.
That article, although older, is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard and meant to discourage having a personality.
I knew this sister that was really attractive and talented. She got the side of her head cut very short and had this funky/hot hairstyle. 😛😛😛 It wasn’t 24 hours before she was counseled and beaten down by the idiot Elders, mostly fat white guys..

graceyou won’t find any in the new world translation!no no no.you only find “undeserved kindness.”(ask yourself why you don't deserve kindness.
?isn’t kindness basic decency?
?if you are one of jehovah’s witnesses you have a reason.jehovah’s witnesses are never on firm standing with their god.
PZ, you’re right, but the legalistic environment of JWism makes it clear that a Dub can never do enough, and they are constantly reminded of that. The Rank and File only benefit from the ransom by doing, doing, doing for the GB.
They are constant reminded of their sorry state and him much they owe to Jehhoober and his Chosen Ones, and that requires doing, doing, doing, lest the conditional love be withdrawn.

No one should be allowed to be cruel in the name of “religion”, and if the courts can shed a spotlight on abhorrent behavior then I’m all for it.
Even if the ruling is overturned it’s better to bring attention to the harmful behavior that these so-called “Christian” and “Charitable” organizations are causing while not paying taxes and hoping for the destruction of the Government.

Agreed. Try this simple test. Give your significant other a gift, and tell them that you love them.
Then make sure to explain that they don’t deserve it, and that you gave it to them because you are so wise and benevolent and you just love the effort they put forth.
Maybe someday, if they work hard enough, they will gain the privilege of the prospect of gaining your love in the truest sense.
Thats what JWs earn, not immortality, but the prospect of eternal life if they do enough for long enough and never make a mistake for all eternity.

if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.
”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.
they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.
@ Dio,
It’s crazy how the true FDS ( ahem... ) the most spiritually insightful men in all of human history are catching up to Bible Scholars.. 🙄

Agreed.
This is not a case of light getting brighter, or some type of clarification in understanding an existing doctrine more fully. These are complete opposite teachings which means that the “locusts” have zero prophetic significance as previously taught.
