  a couple of months ago, i reported on my congregation being disolved and merged with another.. on sept 1, cong b merged with cong a using the same hall, thereafter using cong a's meeting times.

  also nearby cong c moved into the hall using cong b's meeting times and cong c's kh is being put up for sale.. i've since been to both sunday meetings and both midweek meetings.

  at all, the parking lot is totally full, cars have to park around the corner and on the street.

  Oh, we are splitting at the seams, we had better pass the hat among the brothers and build a new hall to take up the great increase.

  since june 2016 i have kept a journal of my encounters with jehovah's witnesses at my door or in my street.

  i'm a a nosey bastard and a bit of a home body when i'm not at work so i don't miss much of who comes past my home or knocks at the door.. will and dill.. they came to my door on a wednesday morning around 10:30am mid june 2016, i was on afternoon shift and had been reading bart ehrman "misquoting jesus".. what follows is the conversation as best i could recount after they left;.

  of the two young gentlemen, dillon, the younger in appearance introduced will and himself, he then proceeded to present me with a brochure about world conditions supposedly getting worse.. me: i could stand at the door nodding in agreement if you like?

  Compensation claims against Jehovah’s Witnesses could be jeopardised: lawyer

  https://www.crikey.com.au/2019/09/12/compensation-claims-jehovahs-witnesses/.

  dr judy courtin explains to inq why the destruction of documents could have huge ramifications for victims inside the jehovah’s witnesses.. an order by the jehovah’s witnesses in australia to destroy confidential records could undermine a child abuse compensation claim currently being prepared for the supreme court of victoria.

  a lawyer representing the victim says she was shocked to learn that the christian body had ordered confidential documents, including notes taken by elders investigating child sexual abuse, to be destroyed.

  Yes Smiddy it is a serious offense, the sort of very desperate measure taken by an organisation or government, when you know your post is going to be over run by the enemy and you are about to be done.

  victorian parliament has passed laws making it mandatory for priests to report child abuse, including when it is revealed to them during confession.. a bill introduced by the state labor government passed the upper house on tuesday after last week getting a green light from the legislative assembly, with opposition support.. "today we've made victoria a safer place for children.

  the special treatment for churches has ended and child abuse must be reported," child protection minister luke donnellan said in a statement....

  Every year, on the anniversary of Nine-Eleven ...

  “get out of here—this is my father’s funeral; you don’t belong here; you are a liar!”.

  the woman’s face reflected terrible pain—the worst pain possible, to the point of breakdown.

  a thousand unanswered questions washed from her eyes by the flow of many tears.

  18 years down the track and there has been honest inquiry into the motive of the offenders.

  Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

  i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

  it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

  Last Man - I have never seen such a high concentration of fragile people who are propped up by a condemned support structure. I will be interesting to watch.

  LHG - there will be no rainbow after this storm, only carnage and destruction, I'm really concerned that if this whole collection of bad ideas puts it's paws in the air, it could be just too much for many of the devotees.
