in the most recent circuit assembly there was a lot about porn and warning against porn.
even warning against looking at swim wear adverts!
so i was wondering, is porn really such an issue in the wt?.
Is porn really such an issue in the wt?
Yes. The use of porn, maybe not so much. Porn itself, definitely. In a "religion" that practices segregation of men and women every chance they get, and is one of the most sexually repressed, sexually obsessed "religions" I have ever known it has to be an issue. The governing body and the rest of the honchos are always finding "solutions" to problems that do not exist!
i just talked with a pioneer who came back from school and she said that at the end there was emphasis put on two things.. 1: stay loyal to the governing body and their teachings.. 2: beware of propaganda.
they said that in wartime the enemy will use propaganda to break the spirit of or confuse the troops.
they said the same things is happening now, so reject negative reports about the organization.. this pioneer (who is fully pimi btw and enthusiastic about it) said she asked her cotboe about if we really have that problem here.
I think the GB need to take on a bit of ownership for the situation they are in, and address the issues in an open and transparent manner.
Yeeaahhh....That'll NEVER happen!
how in the hell would it ever work?
everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.
how would you choose somebody?
Or is everybody going to look and think exactly alike too?
They will look, act, talk, and think exactly as they are told by those "princes" who hear the word of ToMoIII whispering in their ear. Or else it will be POOF another man done gone.
this was announced a couple of weeks ago on the clam.
you can now donate to any congregation, the worldwide work, and assemblies online.
further they have implemented recurring payments "because the hard part about donating is remembering to donate," they actually said that!
If they d'fed you and start shunning you will they terminate your recurring payments?
Not only "No", but "HELL NO!"
How soon before spirituality is measured by the size of your donation?
It already is. I personally know a guy who was guilty of tax fraud, embezzlement, cheating on his wife, drunkenness, lying, and unemployment fraud, who was appointed as an eldurr because he used a large amount of the embezzled monies as "contributions" to the congregation. It didn't hurt that he employed all the elder body either.

At some point will individual elders be held responsible?

A spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York said, "We will NEVER change the 'two witness' rule!"
And of course when the rapist lies to cover over his CRIME, and the victims story does not match the LIE then we all know NOTHING will be done!
what can i do when elders want to poke their nose in?.
they want to have another chat with me and my wife, but we dont want to, it just gets us down..
As others have said on this and many other similar posts...you DON'T have to talk to them!
If the repeated, "It is personal and private issues.." does not shut them down then ask them "What part of NO do you not understand? The "N" or the "O"?
Remember, just like cops who are practiced liars do whatever it takes to entrap you, the elders CAN and WILL use anything you say to trap you into a JC situation. It's how they feed their ego!
what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.
and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.
but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.
I noticed that Splane when he was attempting to splane things kept using the phrases like, we just don't know-for the sake of argument- and suppose. I don't know about others but I sure as the sun coming up n the East will not base any amount of belief in a argument based on supposition and we just don't know!
it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.
tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.
under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.
they will be selling pardons before you know it.
In a sense they already do that. As I was told by a Hoppity Spit appointed eldurr, "don't get married, just hire a hooker and then after you have had sex with her tell the elders you are sorry and write a big check to the congregation!"
That jerk bought his way into the eldurr club after numerous affairs, drunken bouts and car crashes, embezzlement, and fraud. But hey, he gave a lot to the congregation so it was all good!

That must be "fake news"...remember one of the g.b. said those are just Satanic lies from "apostates". LOL
