a while back i came across an article that provides an illustration of a student challenging his teacher.anyways article went on to say the teacher should allowed the student to prove its point.
any help would be appreciated..

The irony of this illustration in the JW world is that while a human can challenge jehovah (who the JWs teach cannot err) NO ONE can challenge the governing body (who the JWs teach can err).

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.

i have a friend who would like to write an article all about the failure of jwism to protect children.
what sites do you think i could direct them too without sending them down a rabbit hole of craziness??
i’m definitely sending them to trey bundy’s articles.
Start here for the Royal Commission:
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.

this was sent to me by a cooky uber-dub.
apparently it's making the rounds locally...it's typical lighthearted jw satire (that they think is great!!
smh :-/ ) .
Imagine the Convention Rooming Department
ROOMING OVERSEER: Name?
GUEST SPEAKER: King David.
ROOMING OVERSEER: You’ll be staying at 4440 Braeburn Rd, San Diego, CA 92116. We have a Cadillac waiting for you. Next?
GUEST SPEAKER: Daniel, the prophet of Jehovah.
ROOMING OVERSEER: You’ll be staying at 4440 Braeburn Rd, San Diego, CA 92116. We have a Cadillac waiting for you. Next?
GUEST SPEAKER: Jeremiah, also the prophet of Jehovah.

And so on...
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.
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”
