No doubt an appeal court will greatly reduce the $1bn award down to multiple millions, but even so, the WTBTS will be shuddering to see how much decent, non-JW individuals detest child-rapists. Get ready to be whipped, "slave."

Georgia jury awards 1 BILLION DOLLARS after guard rapes 14 year old teen
by Esse quam videri inhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/georgia-jury-awards-dollar1-billion-after-guard-rapes-teen/ar-aaxi4l2?li=bbnbfcl.
the public is getting very upset at the abuse of children.
how would the society survive if hit with this kind of award for the conduct of pedophile members when evidence shows they were trying to silence the victim by threats to protect the watchtower's reputation.

by Tahoe inby david gambacorta, staff writer @dgambacorta | [email protected].
martin haugh rolled out of bed one morning earlier this month, shuffled into his kitchen, and turned on his coffee maker.
while the machine gurgled to life, he glanced at his phone.

All praise and credit to everyone involved in exposing the WTBTS's concealment of child-rapists - especially Barbara!

Struggling to Live a Lie
by Addison0998 init’s been very difficult, much more than i first anticipated to live a lie, (be pimo and a regular active member) i still live with my parents but i plan on moving out at the end of the year, so i really need to keep it together.
but i think people are starting to get suspicious that something is up.
i’ve stopped commenting, going on service all the time, talking at the door, and occasionally voicing something, such as a question that no one has a good answer for, that makes people think, but ahah, thinking is dangerous and wrong so that is suspicious of course.

Hmmmmm. I respectfully disagree with the suggestions to ask "awkward" questions. All that will do is get people to question you! Then prepare yourself for some real trouble from the local wolves.
If you need to fade quietly and painlessly - keep your mouth shut and continue to do less & less.
If you don't care, carry on asking those questions and stirring up minds. I did that in my last congregation (before I faded!) and received some very unpleasant treatment by the elders. JW's do not like having the "slave's" teachings being questioned - by someone who is clearly an independent thinker!
You have a PM.

Dutch government look for possibility to revoke JW charity status (=tax breaks) after JW refuse independent investigation re. abuse
by Anders Andersen inwell, the title says it all.
the dutch government will look into the possibility to revoke the charity status of jw after they refused to cooperate in the child abuse scandal.. the government urged the jw to start an independent investigation into the jw child abuse issues, and after some stalling the jw flatout refused.
unfortunately the government can't really force them.. the chance that the charity status is actually revoked is very small as there appears to be no legal basis to do so, but right now the government and house of representatives are very annoyed with jw.. and in the meantime the da will continue their investigation based on the victims officially reporting abuse to the police..

As JW's, we were always told (and bragged to non-JW's) that we will always "obey the superior authorities," unless it conflicted with God's laws - i.e. "pay Caesar's things to Caeser...."
The business corporations of the CCoJW's/WTBTS who masquerade as Bible-based organizations, unashamedly reveal their true colours whenever money is involved or at risk.
May their blatant contempt for governments and the judiciary continue, because the authorities are waking up to their arrogance - even if most JW's aren't!

Receiving so much hate recently....
by stuckinarut2 inwell, as you all know, my wife (unstuck) and i are not df or da.. we just stopped attending several years back after my "apostate" online activity was found by a nosey employee of ours while she was working in our office (long story if anyone wants to know - it would have to be another thread).
we never met with any elders - no congregation judicial activity occurred (as we would never consent to do so anyway).
so our policy has been to be the same kind, loving, normal people we have always been.

I totally feel for you Stuck, and every other faded/ex JW who feels pain when they are shunned by former friends and family members.
I genuinely believe that very many JW's are mentally ill-at-ease, not only with the cult lifestyle in general, but especially so with the oppressive changes enforced in recent years. As such, when a "fellow worker at the grindstone" unshackles the harness and abandons the pointless drudgery & strife and walks away, those still shackled experience seriously conflicting emotions - the inculcated hatred, but also envy of the one escaping.
The vast majority of blinded, non-thinking JW's deserve a chance to see. Those in the cult who are fully aware, deserve the plagues which are coming their way.

Thanks, ATLANTIS - LOL!!!
I just looked at that publication, and on page 5, Title Page/Publishers’ Page, it says this -
"NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Bible quotations and references are according to the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, the revised edition of 1971 C.E."
So in reality, the JW's present Bible should be called The Revised, Revised, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

Mr. Roboto, this is what you're thinking of -
bh p. 214 par. 3 Judgment Day—What Is It?
"Are these scrolls the record of people’s past deeds? No, the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died. How do we know that? The Bible says: “The one who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak."
So, people like Jack the Ripper who evaded capture & justice (and probably died of old age) have no need of the "ransom sacrifice," because their own death cleansed all their sins! Excellent dogma WTBTS!

One of my all-time favourite illustrations:
Bible Teach, chap. 16 p. 154 pars. 1,2, & 12 Take Your Stand for True Worship
1 Suppose you found out that your whole neighborhood has been contaminated. Someone has secretly been dumping poisonous waste in the area, and now the situation is life threatening. What would you do? No doubt, you would move away if you could. But after doing that, you would still face this serious question, ‘Have I been poisoned?’
2 A similar situation arises with regard to false religion. The Bible teaches that such worship is contaminated with unclean teachings........
12 Suppose you saw a piece of candy lying in the gutter. Would you pick up that candy and eat it? Of course not! That candy is unclean......To take a stand for true worship, we need to have a viewpoint like that of the prophet Isaiah, who told true worshippers: “Touch nothing unclean!”—Isaiah 52:11.
I will gladly provide any lurkers with various pieces of literature based "unclean candy" via PM if they wish to see if they have been "poisoned".
