what warnings are the cult giving the "sheeple?".
in the study article on page 20 - "are you heeding the warnings?
", jw's are threatened what their fate will be if they don't support the elite, "anointed" jw's, the 33 degree aka, the self-appointed gibbering body - they will be toast very soon:.

'many survivors of clergy sexual abuse have never received an apology or any acknowledgement of the harm they suffered.
but at the may 3, 2024, meeting of the general conference of the worldwide united methodist church in charlotte, north carolina, the following resolution of apology to all survivors and their families was approved.. .
“the united methodist church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the church to outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct.
Have any measures been put in place now at grass roots level to help prevent abuse of any kind , not just sexual abuse?
I know that other denominations now have taken this issue very seriously and things like bullying in the church or even spousal abuse are also looked at .
Making apologies and acknowledging mistakes is a start but lessons need learning and every effort made to prevent these things happening.
I get CofE updates regularly and this was part of the latest

Maybe l could learn something. Who knows l could be wrong , l do believe in miracles lol .
I get that it's sometimes better to agree to disagree and move on . Done that a few times .

the watchtower characterizes christians not affiliated with the watchtower corporation as vomit eaters and filthy whores: .
“how well they pictured the spiritual drunkards of christendom at the present time!
besides actual wine and intoxicating liquors, there are other things to intoxicate the priests and preachers in christendom so as to induce drowsiness in them, to make them reel, to confuse things before their religious vision, to induce them to belch out the vomit of spiritually filthy things” - w59 3/1 pp.
Yes l know NOW that there is an Australian Tamworth.
I organise a local Fete and joined a " local " fb group to advertise it . After asking if anyone would like a stall a nice lady kindly pointed out that it was a bit far to travel for an afternoon.

I never give down votes. This is the only forum where l have seen the option to down vote .
If someone does give me a down vote l do wonder who it was and why . I would rather that the person tells me why they disagree.
