by AndersonsInfo in

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/child-in-jehovahs-witness-court-bid-20130217-2elcg.htmlchild in jehovah's witness court bid.

february 18, 2013barney zwartza traralgon child has clubbed his pocket money together with three others, paying $69.70 to launch a private criminal prosecution against the jehovah's witnesses.. the child, 11, who is due to give evidence on monday at the state inquiry into how the churches handled child sex abuse, wanted to force the church to comply with working with children laws.

after four hearings, to which church leaders did not send a representative, the church began complying and the office of public prosecutions intervened to discontinue the case.. the inquiry will also hear from anti-jehovah's witness campaigner steven unthank, a former member of the church who says he and his family were ostracised and persecuted after he tried to tackle child abuse.. his submission alleges the church and its incorporated body, the watchtower society, covered up criminal child abuse, including rape, sexual assault, death threats, blackmail and assault, across four states by ordained ministers and officers of the church.. advertisementthe victorian and civil administrative tribunal will hear a religious vilification complaint against the church by mr unthank in may, after the church said people who left the church, as he had, were ''mentally diseased''.. and the victorian health services commissioner is investigating a complaint by another former gippsland church member that a jehovah's witness chaplain was found alone without permission with a naked toddler in a room at latrobe regional hospital.. the child appearing today, who cannot be named, has asked the inquiry to determine whether the church's failure to get working with children checks between july 2008 and december 2011 amounted to criminal child abuse of all 6160 jehovah's witness children in victoria.. he asks why the government and police let the church ''get away with'' non-compliance, and whether the state will help file a class action against the church.. the submission suggests the 2000 jehovah's witnesses who worked with children were committing criminal offences each week.

i was wondering how a baptised jw see wordly people?

i mean what do they think of people who arent jw ?

do they think we will die forever and that we are controlled by satan?

Tik... you're probably right... although my English is pretty good, I grew up in Spanish congos so I'm not familiar with some of the terms used in English congos...

The term: To disfellowship in spanish congregations...

by suavojr in

in the english congregations they used to announce that brother x has been disfellowshipped.

but in the spanish congregations the announcement was made using the word expulsado (spanish)= expel in english.

when i look up the word disfellowship, this is what i found:.

Calebs Airplane

I was told by an elder many years ago that expulsado is used (instead of excomunicar) because is sounds more forceful and has more impact...

clubbing could result in censorship.

clubbing with non-JWs could result in disfellowshipping (if caught).

standing in for atlantis.

1st they illustrate the newly elevated "divine" status of the GB 2.0 on page 29 of the April 15, 2013 Watchtower (where they deliberately exclude all of the "anointed" that are part of the FDS)

Then they remind everyone in the NEW Memorial Talk Outline 2.0 that only a few need apply for the Heavenly Hope...

If this doesn't drop the number or partakers, nothing will...

Armageddon will just have to wait...
