Corney - I’m not sure about your comment/statement about “evil Mormon judges [who] want to make religion immune from scrutiny and liability” - an utterance that could hold you in Contempt of Court and facing the likelihood of a prison sentence were it a Supreme Court hearing in Australia - but I do appreciate the update.
Good description on IIED. I believe that the use of the scriptures, by a corporation, to bully people is a classic example.
today, marking the second anniversary of the australian national apology to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, the prime minister of australia has announce in federal parliament the intention to place sanctions against the jehovah’s witnesses in relation to child sexual abuse.. quote from prime minister:.
the royal commission [into institutional response to child sexual abuse], the [national] apology [to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse] and these yearly reports are about accountability: bringing the truth into the light ... we still have, reprehensibly, four institutions that have been named publicly and that have blatantly refused to join the redress scheme.

QUOTE FROM PRIME MINISTER:
The Royal Commission [into Institutional Response to Child Sexual Abuse], the [National] Apology [to Victims and Survivors of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse] and these yearly reports are about accountability: bringing the truth into the light ... We still have, reprehensibly, four institutions that have been named publicly and that have blatantly refused to join the redress scheme. They are Jehovah's Witnesses ... It's not acceptable. We're currently finalising the further sanctions, that I know are supported by the opposition, that the Commonwealth will place on institutions who continue to refuse to join the scheme, including withdrawal of their charitable status for these offending organisations.

Thank you.
'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?
you lost your job and you searched for another one.
finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.
Splane’s talk, just like Lett’s, was so nonsensical it would not surprise me if it had actually been written by Paul Gillies.
as someone who left in 1991 aged 21, one of my overriding memories of growing up in the watchtower was being able to "prove" the end times by referencing 1914.. major change in 95 then again after that.
if i'm being honest i could not even tell you now what the current teaching is.. for those who still attend the meetings, is it still openly spoken about?
i genuinely curious as i wonder if the teaching will be altogher dropped eventually, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is to stop speaking about it.
Good question on 1914.
According to the Watchtower Online Library the term or phrase “1914” has not appeared in their literature for over 5 years.
new light: overlapping slices of cheeze!.
now as jesus was departing from henning's wisconsin cheese cheese store and museum, his disciples approached to show him their shiny new delivery van.
in response he said to them: “do you not see all these things?
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
ts lett just repeated from this watchtower.

QUOTE from The Watchtower :
The “last days” contain their own unique grouping of marks, or events, forming a positive “fingerprint” that cannot belong to any other time period.
When the many factors are put together, we find that our generation, our day is the one that is identified in the Bible as the “last days.” In fact, in this year 1967 we are actually living in the final part of that time! This can be compared to, not just the last day of a week, but, rather, the last part of that last day.
we hear daily "a woman or color".
one person here mentioned that nikki haley (parents are from india) is a woman of color.. what defines "woman of color?
" is there some scan gun that they put point at your head and defines the pigmentation?.
While not dealing with the so-called ‘colour’ of people, it is worth considering the article “Are Black and White Colours?” by software developer, Adobe, which stated:
“Some consider white to be a colour, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a colour, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colours, they're shades.”
