  I wonder what angle the RC will take with him.

  The worst that can happen is that GJ gets cornered and accepts that he'll review the procedures.

  in the 1969 kit the society used a book by bible scholar justus lipsius as source material for their upright stake "stauros" doctrine of the death of christ.

  they used an image of a man hung on an upright stake with no crossbeam attached to it.

  then they placed a caption under it saying that the illustration came from lipsius.

  OK, now a serious question.

  Mt 27:38 says "Then two robbers were put on stakes alongside him, one on his right and one on his left"

  Picture that scene in your mind. How would it look?

  Now read John 19:32-33 "The soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and those of the other man who was on a stake alongside him. But on coming to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs."

  Question. If Jesus was in the middle, why does it say the two other wrongdoers were alongside each other, and that the soldiers 'came' to Jesus last?

  The society is obsessed with numbers. Numbers mean things.

  Got less than 10 hours ministry? Spiritually weak.

  Got 20 million attending the memorial? Proves it's Gods organisation.

  2% increase per year? The small one is becoming a nation.

  So how about this one: A quarter of the earth's population say Jesus died on a cross? The stake teaching is false.

  This logic is unassailable, the conclusions irrefutable. Maybe 😀

  I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.

  wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.

  i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.

  so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.

  After their hype and predictions about 1975 were proven false, the WT demonstrated their humility by blaming the ordinary witnesses for getting it wrong.

  After the WT printed that receiving an organ transplant was cannibalism, they later corrected the faithful by reprimanding 'some who feel that taking some one else's organ into their own body was cannibalistic'.

  The org is never wrong. Whatever the Ministry of Truth says today is right, and it was never any other way.
  They have no humility, no shame, no modesty. They are above receiving counsel from anyone within or outside their organisation.

  They have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge and now decide for themselves what is good and bad.

  G.Jackson did the monthly broadcast in Nov 2014 and again in June 2015.

  Let's see how well he does on TV, live and without an auto-cue.

  kookie How the JW trolls and apologists are answering all this is to give information on other religions and their problems and society in general,

  There is nothing else they can do but this.

  In the face of being found culpable with no excuses, the only thing they can say is "look over there instead".

  Instructions To Elders Re: Pursuing Higher Education

  underlining is mine.. march 6, 2012 letter.

  pursue divine education:some of our brothers are pursuing higher education, feeling that they can acquire a measure of financial security.

  as you are aware, the educational system varies from country to country.

  "acquiring a measure of financial security" is easy to do when you have 7 million followers being coerced, non stop, for more and more money. It also helps that you can turf congregations out of their kingdom halls when you need to sell a few buildings.

  Let's see the WT become self sufficient instead of sponging off it's poor members.

  kookie hope you don't mind Splash if I c/p your reply saves me typing.

  Feel free. Be aware that I only quickly counted the figures in the pdf, not put them into a spreadsheet, so the figures may be out by one or two.

  Angus Stewart discredited that '300' figure.
  The WT merely scanned their files for the word "police" and conveniently assumed the police had been involved each time that word was found.

  Angus said that the word "police" may have been used in a sentence such as "police were not informed", but the WT counted this as an incident where the police were informed, simply because the word 'police' was used.

  If any were reported to the police, then the WT's own records (linked to in the OP) show that this was not done by the JW's in any single instance.

  This is a perfect example of Theocratic Warfare being used. Another term for Deception.
