J.W`s Taking the Oath To Tell The Truth on The Bible / Affirmation
by smiddy3 inhow outdated is the compulsion of people before the law courts of the land to take an oath on the bible to /swear on the bible to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me god.or its equivalent affirmation.?.
and even if you do claim to believe in god but feel giving information to those who don`t deserve it then withholding such information is justified as theocratic warfare deliberately misleading those seeking such information.. if you don`t believe in a god ,you can lie all you like .. and in the case of geoffrey jackson at the a.r.c.
into institutions of child sexual abuse ,he had no problem misleading ,another word for lying to the a.r.c.

Page 3, par. 2 - "...a 19th century visitor cried out, “Oh, what a paradise!”
(Companion & Useful Guide to the Beauties of Scotland, by The Hon. Sarah Murray of Kensington. Published 1799)
Since the writer's book was published in 1799, I would make that the 18th century.
Page 4, par. 7, 8 - "God said that he would multiply Abraham’s offspring [seed] “like the grains of sand on the seashore.” And Jehovah made this meaningful promise: “By means of your offspring [seed] all nations of the earth will obtain a blessing for themselves because you have listened to my voice.” (Gen. 22:17,18)
8 There is no indication in the Bible that Abraham thought that humans would get a final reward in a heavenly paradise."
But what about the alleged 144,000???????
(Galatians 3:29) "Moreover, if YOU belong to Christ, [Christians] YOU are really Abraham’s seed, heirs with reference to a promise."
Page 8 QFR - "logically, suggests, can refer to, It seems, It is possible, likely refers to."
The org's writing committee is probably, or possibly correct. Or maybe just potentially right in what they say. Whatever, it must be the truth!
Page 10, par. 1 - "[God] wants you to show honor on a human level, such as to government officials."
You mean like when a judge orders you to produce documents, or you'll have to pay a $4000 per day fine?
Page 13, par. 15 - "The two could seek Bible-based help from congregation elders. While the elders avoid taking sides, they could offer Scriptural advice."
Could????? There's no "could" about it. The elders will demand to be involved if they get to hear of any JW's who are having marital difficulties.
Page 19, par.1 - "Teachers, guidance counselors, or others may have encouraged you to pursue higher education and a lucrative career. Jehovah, however, advises you to take a different course."
Yup, I remember God saying something in the 10 commandments about the Israelites having to avoid higher education.
Page 19, par. 2 - "[God] knows what lies ahead for the present world and he knows how soon its end will come."
Yup, but does the "slave" know? No? Didn't think so!
Page 21, par. 8 - "Soon, every part of Satan's world will come crashing down."
There's that word again - "soon."
Page 21, par. 10 - "you quickly recognize each other’s “language” - the “pure language” of truth."
You quickly recognize each other's unquestioning conformity to WTBTS dogma!
Box on Page 27 - "Some practical goals."
A list of "practical goals" to serve the org's needs - not advice on how to provide for your day-day needs.

SIMPLIFIED VERSION of the letter:
TO ALL BODIES OF ELDER-SHEARERS IN BRITAIN
Local Needs Item for September 3 2018
Dear Co-Conspirators:
Since it has now been over 6 weeks since we last shoved the cult's begging bowl in your faces, the powers-that-be in the Warwick, N.Y. compound felt it was now time to impose yet another method to enrich the "slave's" parasitic lifestyle.
Please note that the local needs part in the midweek meeting for September 3, 2018, should be dedicated to begging the congregation's sheep to adopt a new system of fleecing online.
Please be assured of our warm, conditional Christian love and best wishes.
Your brothers-in-ripping off,
Service Department, Pharisaic House, Beth-Hell,
Long-goneLondon. -

Excellently handled.

I'll bet he was agitated by that for the rest of the day!

Eldub BIL, and Df'ed Kid's!!!!
by DwainBowman inmy super fine eldub bil, has a son that's been df'ed for a long time.
last month he deeded off 1/4 of an acre of land in the back of his pasture, bought a small local built used tiny house, and got it all set up, for his son to live in.
to everyone of the jw's in this area really look up to him and his stand on having nothing to do with his df'ed kid's or grandkids.

Wonderful to hear of another "shepherd" who doesn't obey the laws of the Pharisees in Warwick!
Pity about his hypocrisy though.

Do Any JW's Still Use/Trust the Reasoning Book?
by The Fall Guy inunder the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.
"the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.
will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?

JW's will need sunglasses for all the new light since then!

A Question About Elders Knowing About Child Molesters
by new boy insupposedly the society sent a letter out on march 14, 1997 to all elders contained an instruction that inadvertently admitted they had a big problem: “the body of elders should give the society a report on anyone serving or who formerly served in a society-appointed position in your congregation who is known to have been guilty of child molestation in the past.” .
can anyone here confirm/or not that this was a real letter that was sent to elders?.

"....situations in which it is established by a congregation judicial committee that an adult brother or sister has been guilty of sexually abusing a young child..."
Why a young child? Children are children in the eyes of the law!
Yup, involving the authorities who don't rely on two eyewitnesses is a bad idea. Elders are to be trusted when informed of a paedophile attack.
