It is getting harder to sit through these meetings. If only time machines were real.... Lets just say I would have a good use or 2 with it. Keep your head up my friend.

Has anyone actually read the study wt for sun nov 2nd????!!!
by stuckinarut2 ino m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).
if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!
so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?

I am JW.ORG
by LogCon infamous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!
it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.

Why don't parents of an abused child go straight to police, why go to an elder first??
by FeelingFree ini hope i don't come across as judgemental but having read a lot on the current child abuse cases and the different threads on here, i am left wondering why on earth a parent of an abuse victim would go to an elder with the problem first and not straight to police?.
as a parent myself i know that if anything like that happend to my child (this applies to when i was still an active jw as well as now) i would not hesitate in going to the authorities as soon as i found out, it wouldn't of crossed mine or my husbands mind to go to an elder.
maybe after we had reported it but definitely never as the first port of call.

These cases need national attention. JWs need to know that millions of their donated dollars will be going to sex abuse settlements. Not to mention the millions that have already been shelled out in out of court settlements. They also need to see the lack of holy spirit on the GB's actions. They need to put themselves in the shoes of these parents and ask themselves, what would I do?

their beliefs and practice's don't tally- tonights book study
by purrpurr intonights book study in part is about jesus throwing out the merchants and money lenders in the temple... how do they manage to tally that up with asking for funds for all their various projects?
it seems hardly a meeting goes by without some kind of money plea?
don't they realise that they are doing the same thing that jesus got so angry about and threw out of the temple?

So true island man. I had the same exact thought yesterday. Same thing with how they define "uncleanness" They make up so many rules on what is uncleanness, when does it cross the line into gross uncleanness, when does it become greedy etc.. and add on many rules to define this. What about oral sex within marriage? How is that not a pharasaical man made rule? What about the prohibition on civilian alternative service? They had to make up rules about what was neutral and what was not.
They talk about how we do not have laws but we have principles. Arent principles supposed to be up to an individual to decide how to apply them? If a religious body determines exactly how principles should be applied, and makes rules based on principles, how is that any different than being under man made law again??

Their attitude of not wanting to bring "reproach" has actually backfired. If they had encouraged the parents to go to the police, there would be no lawsuits.
