  If they had written to the U.S. headquarters asking about doctrine, they would have received a much more comprehensive and personal response.

  Advice on Waiting for Jehovah

  hi guys, .

  in discussions with a current jw, they told me that have big concerns with regards to the 607 bce date, but they are waiting on jehovah for refining.

  any suggestions on questions to pose to them based on their feedback?.

  Lot's of examples where a faithful person did not 'wait on Jehovah' but did the right thing.

  Look at the kings and judges, Moses, Daniel, Jehu, Jael, Jesus.
  All these did what they knew to be right because they were faithful and jealous for God.

  Examples of those who did wait expectantly while doing the wrong thing includes the pharisees.

  "Wait on Jehovah" is nothing more than a cowardly excuse to justify inaction.
  If you know something is wrong than you have a personal responsibility.

  For a great resource on 587BCE vs 607BCE see this video series.
  Lot's of short clips dealing with one aspect at a time.

  Hi mulder_scully, nice mash-up!

  One of the elders emotively stated he felt sickened by what he heard, but then went on to say he can't remember what he heard, just that he remembers being sickened by it.

  I think the court room rolled their eyes at that point.

  No credibility.

  Questions for current and former elders re giving evidence

  by Mickey mouse in

  supposing you were called to give evidence by an inquiry.

  how would you answer?

  are you concerned that you may end up being called to give evidence for past involvement in judicial committees to future inquiries?

  There is no process Mephis.

  None of my BoE have any clue whatsoever about the legal side of the charity. Becoming an elder is purely about the WT organisation.

  The one legal thing they do each year is hold an AGM and announce some figures to the congregation. Because our income is so low we don't even have to report our financials to the Charity Commission.

  'Jehovah is using the Royal commission'??.. Ok, let's work with that.

  by defender of truth in

  what do you think of the following line of reasoning for helping a jw start to think about what they are admitting.. (essentially, the organisations way of handling child abuse has been wrong, harm has been caused, god is now putting it right.).

  reply:.

  "i appreciate your honesty, in admitting that child abuse has not been handled in the right way in the past.

  I will be asking "If Satan's system had not intervened to correct and improve the WT's procedures, how many more abuse victims would be made to suffer? How many more abusers would have gone unreported to the police?"

  It would even be good to have an RC camera point at a screen where GJ is appearing.

  I've never been on any abuse cases, children or otherwise. The only ones I've been on involved consenting adults.

  I'd not put myself in opposition to the law but give a full account of everything they asked. This isn't a recent stance, it is something I would always have done.

  1. watchtower

  1. will jw.org implement all / some of the recommended changes?.

  2. will jw.org proudly refuse citing that they will "obey god as ruler rather than men"?.

  3. will news about the rc goes viral, and how will the world at large respond?.
