BBC Sunday Morning on Jehovah's Witnesses

by Newly Enlightened in

in august the jehovah’s witnesses will give evidence to the independent inquiry into child sex abuse.

submissions will also be heard from survivors who have criticised the church’s handling of abuse allegations.

their appearance comes as campaigners around the world are questioning why the religion is restructuring the organisation and selling off substantial amounts of property.

The Cry of Peace And Security

by jwfacts in

a bit late in coming, but i have a new article on the cry of peace and security at https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/peace-and-security.php.

this was prompted by trump using the term peace and security a few times in 2017 and 2018, and the excitement this generated amongst jehovah's witnesses.

i would love to see other quotes you like on this topic, or texts and experiences..

Paul, you wrote: “ When the United Nations recognised 1986 as an International Year of Peace, Watchtower cautiously aligned this with 1 Thess 5:3.”

The WT also hedged their spiritual bets on 1986 with the JWs only book ‘Worldwide Security Under the “prince of peace”’ and the ‘True Peace and Security-How Can You Find It?’ books released in 1986 just in case.

Fred Franz was the president of Watch Tower Pa.

The Motive of the Governing Body

by jwfacts in

i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

jwleaks

Great article Paul.

Suggested change:

“All the Governing Body appointed since 2000 were ~~raised~~ indoctrinated, some from early childhood onwards, to believe the end would be within their lifetime”
