I've seen victims write/call/email Bethel, to many people at Bethel, to the legal department, the service department, the GB, without any response. And these things all within the past couple of years, since the so-called "new light" 🧐🤔

thank God for new light -'4. In all cases, victims and their parents have the right to report an accusation of child abuse to the authorities. Therefore, victims, their parents, or anyone else who reports such an accusation to the elders are clearly informed by the elders that they have the right to report the matter to the authorities. Elders do not criticize anyone who chooses to make such a report.—Galatians 6:5.' -

'The plaintiff's claims against Apana and the church were resolved through a confidential settlement, but she then proceeded to trial on her damages claims against Apana.'
"other elders discouraged the plaintiff from reporting the sexual abuse to police'...
After this, church elders continued to dissuade the plaintiff's family from reporting the sexual abuse, telling them to "move on."
https://news.yahoo.com/abuse-victim-makaha-church-elder-160200476.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A spokesperson with the Jehovah's Witnesses issued the following statement to KITV4 about the settlement:
“Out of respect for the privacy of all involved, we do not comment on the specific allegations involving victims of abuse. However, we note that the judgment was against Mr. Apana, the person who perpetrated the abuse. Jehovah's Witnesses condemn the repugnant actions of anyone who victimizes children. Further, elders in our faith comply with reporting laws and do not discourage victims or their families from reporting abuse to the police.”
'elders do not discourage victims or their families from reporting abuse to the police.' - it wasn't always that way, that's only recent!

Visitors always looked at the charts to compare with their own cong.
Circuit Overseers always did that, at the 1st meeting, comparing the cong. hours with the average of our circuit.
Then one year, someone at Bethel read the Bible and understood it.
Galatians6:4 But let each one examine his own actions, and then he will have cause for rejoicing in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other person. 5 For each one will carry his own load.'The Bible condemns “stirring up competition.”—Galatians 5:26. -

Didn't scream to me at the Service meeting, but was fascinated and intrigued at the same time of all those attention getting numbers. Was 4 or 5 around 1960 and remember saying to myself, 'Wow, this is a business.'

- See WHO isn't all Evil
- The World Health Organization has finally gotten around to declaring the popular artificial sweetener aspartame a potential carcinogen
- The ruling comes from sources with WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), who said aspartame will be listed as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” in July 2023
Top Sweetener Officially Declared a Carcinogen

It should also be considered that the amount of chemicals that are present in our diet is not taken into account and that it can cause toxic synergies over time. We have clear evidence that food has to be as natural as possible,...Stress coupled with artificial sweeteners can potentiate changes in the gut microbiota and lining, as well as further increase gut inflammation' - See WHO isn't all Evil

Highlights of article:
'One elder warned Brooks that if she contacted police, she would bring “reproach” on Jehovah’s name, according to a lawsuit that she filed in June in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court against the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, the Witnesses’ leadership.'
“We bought a shredder,” one York elder told others, according the lawsuit, “and headquarters has told us to shred.”
Brooks’ lawsuit accuses Witness elders of destroying many of the records of her case — and of ignoring Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Law, which requires leaders of churches or religious organizations to report suspected child abuse to authorities.
Brooks, who is now 35, wants the organization’s leaders to face accountability.
Fritz said Brooks is trying to spur changes within the organization “to protect all children from sexual abuse that festers in the secrecy that the organization encourages.”
“A lot of these elders don’t even realize what they’re doing is wrong,” Brooks said. “I would like the people involved to get to the point where they understand, ‘Holy crap, what did we do?’ and come to terms with that.”

'Child sexual abuse in particular is a twisted act of evil.'
It's such a 'twisted act of evil' we keep quiet and warn no one.
'The Jehovah’s Witnesses U.S. branch emailed a statement saying it was not permitted to comment on specific grand jury investigations but added,
“The news of someone being sexually abused, whether a child or an adult, sickens us.
Child sexual abuse in particular is a twisted act of evil.
That is why, for decades, Jehovah’s Witnesses have gone to great lengths to educate and warn parents through our publications, meetings, and website about how to protect their children in a variety of circumstances.
We also are quick to support and offer pastoral care to those affected, while working to ensure that unrepentant perpetrators are removed from the congregation. Anyone who has been victimized has the full support of the congregation to report the matter to the authorities.”

Poor metabolic health increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
by was a new boy init’s all a big fat lie.
more precisely a big low-fat, high-carbohydrate lie.. 'it took dr. paul marik 12 weeks to prove that conventional wisdom about dieting is a lie, and that was just to himself.
he lost 35 pounds, and cured himself of type 2 diabetes.
