  Excellent!

  @21 minutes in he starts speaking about JW's.

  @34.25 minutes in quoting from the Bodies of Elder letter dated 1 Nov 2016: (Relating to Kingdom Halls) Break-ins, thefts, incidents of arson or other vandalism should be promptly reported to the local authorities.

  When they talk about child sexual abuse, WT says they will never change their 2 person rule. If two people didn't see it, there is nothing to report. If the abuser does happen to apologize, the wronged party must accept this and then go home with their abuser... It is all swept under the rug.

  But property damage to a BUILDING, should be promptly reported!

  A little child, who's innocence is lost, who has been damaged and hurt, deflowered, paralized in fear, doesn't know who to trust, finally speaks up to be told, you must have at least 2 witnesses to this event or it didn't happen and the child is accused of being a liar.

  This video's closing remark is: You know there's something wrong when a group that claims divinity, can't even demonstrate humanity.

  ... they've accepted me!

  finance is already sorted - they're waiting for me to give them my new student number so that they can start paying me.

  just need to formally accept bristol's offer and sort out accommodation.. accommodation should be ok - i've been told priority is given to new students, plus i'm enrolling onto a program for a real degree as a postgraduate - i won't be studying gender studies or some crap like that.

  a california court fined only $2,000 to the wt for not releasing records of 775 sex abuse cases?

  they should have made the fine 20 million +.

  OMG hahaha

  Imagine. The WT's dreaded CATHOLICS, reporting in their own newspaper, La Croix International, "The World's Premier Independent Catholic Daily" date line August 1, 2018 written by their International staff for the USA, truth about Jehovah's Witnesses and their cover up of child sexual abuse.

  And the dishonest JW.Borg aka WT, the ones that blasted Brooklyn with their sign, Read the Bible daily, are no different than any other religion.

  Hypocrites. BUT, The Catholic International daily newspaper, is at least REPORTING this horrid way WT handles perperators and children. Dismiss and deny, deny, deny and then WT continues to beg for MONEY to cover their sorry asses with their on going payouts for their covered up child abuse cases. All the while, JW.Borg aka WT, claims innocence, never happened, all of Satan's lies. JW.Borg aka WT... Who is LYING here??? NOT the Catholics but Jehovah's Witnesses are!!! And who is head of Jehovah's Witnesses??? The GOVERNING BODY. Liars, fakes and cheats! The GB does not care about children. Never has. They don't care about the lying way they coerce the adults into DONATING their hard earned cash to pay for WT's sex abuse cover ups.

  WT aka Governing Body you are disgusting filth, hiding in your upstate New York compound, paid for by who? More donations to keep you feeling like intitled elitist's??? Narcissists to the core. Only care about yourselves and your supposed "spot less" image.

  Well WT aka Governing Body, the Catholics are reporting on you! Under WT aka GB's rules, shouldn't all of the Governing Body, Legal department, all Circuit Overseers, and who ever else is involved in this sex abuse cover ups... wouldn't that be ALL ELDERS???... should all be disfellowshipped for lying, cheating and obtaining donations under false pretences. They are not building kingdom Halls. They are selling them off!

  Watchtower Corporation Hacked By It's Own IT Department

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  it's hard for me to think that the watchtower it department must be fully aware of wt duplicity as in they are experts in using the internet and are fully aware of what the internet is saying about their boss.. so why not hack them and make more public their utter bullshit in a humanitarian concern expressed by what ever powers he has to reduce guilt.. as the reputation of the watchtower goes south and more dirt is revealed the more likely it is for those in position of trust like watchtower it department to be forced into a very precarious position of helping a bunch of frauds and so why should it be of any surprise that some type of corrective vengeance is planed by many members of the it..

  The WT lawyers get paid. They know NOT to sign a vow of poverty.

  The WT IT specialists? Does anyone know any personally?

  What perks do they receive? Are they going to IT exotic seminars on WT's dime? Are they getting an extra degree paid for by WT?

  Besides being WT elders, what prestiage do they receive that they would want to stay loyal to WT?

  Terry, So very sorry for your loss.

  I used to like a lot of people, most everybody in fact. I was a people person, caring and interested.

  Several weeks ago, I decided my old friends are not going to show up here on this site.

  For obituaries, I did them by the whole country by only using one key word in the search. I used Jehovah. Never less than one hundred deceased members of US KHalls show up when I did a weekly search.

  Some people I have yearned to talk to, to see once again, to hug but the fickle way life really is, I have decided, I most likely will only hear of them when I read of their demise from their obituary.

  How many ways can I say I hate you WT for your controlling, stupid rules. Your man made up religion that messes with human beings lives.

  WT you are shameful.

  Do you know how the "work" is in Frankfurt?

  Maybe 20 years ago there was a small street in that city that had numerous kingdom halls built next to each other.

  One of the posters on this forum wrote a story and posted it several years ago.

  It was a tantalizing read. It was entitled "The Opal Ring".

  The ending was a real possibility.

  It was dealing with the OP's premise of what happens to donated jewelry.

  When you get your results back and see you are related to someone with only 6.2 cM, centimorgans, it is not futile.

  If your Line is long, you can find them.

  I am on a FB closed Family website and there is a know it all that says, something that small is dismissive. His Line must be short. We are not a DNA match. My Line is from Oyster Bay, NY and his is not.

  I have helped 2 DNA cousins who we matched at the 6.2cM level.

  It was of interest to me that I had a 4th great grandmother 1748-1820 who was granted a divorce from her bigamist husband Uriah in 1798. He was a big landowner in two different states where he had kept two different wives and children. He was only charged $500.00 and granted a divorce. He lived and died 1740-1817, so I am glad she outlived him.

  @Virgochik,

  The 2 different families I mention is because they are all DEAD.

  #1. Had a beautiful home in Huntington Beach, Calif. Sold it and moved North to pioneer until... "this old system of things came to an end... ". The husband ended up dying with dementia. His wife died of cancer. Both had Jdub funerals but lived their last years in poverty.

  #2. He was an engineer and made good money. They lived in Claremont, close to Pomona. They "heeded the call... " sold and moved North to Redding, Calif out to a mountainous acreage. He told me at their 50th wedding anniversary, that The Society told the ones way back when to ... flee to the mountains for safety, so they did. Sitting their in a grand hall with all old family and friends, John sat in a poop filled diaper because his wife Mildred was having such a good time visiting with everyone, she forgot to take him out and check. Shortly afterwards, he was diagnosed with dementia.
