So does that mean that in the 200s AD it was widely acknowledged that Christ died on a cross ? Hmmm

As a never been a JW , Anglican , Trinity believing wrong ' un l would say no He won't. However that probably doesn't help does it ?
I agree with what's been said about research, but - please read a variety of stuff , for and against Christianity . You won't get a balanced view just reading one side of the argument a la Watchtower mode .
I suppose that the nearest l can get to wrapping my head around how the teaching lingers is thinking about a child who's Mom always said " it's bad luck to step on the cracks in the pavement " . You grow up and KNOW that it can't be right but still feel uncomfortable when you do it .
Keep searching until you find where you feel at home .

A truly absurd situation is brewing ...
by LoveUniHateExams inyes, it's related to the world cup in qatar next year.. a recent un report has detailed some serious abuse of migrant workers by qatari authorities - we're talking some serious issues here:.
- a caste system with migrant workers treated differently on the basis of ethnicity.
- non-payment of wages.

Return to Kingdom Hall Meetings - Letter to Elder Bodies?
by JWTom ina couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.

can anyone confirm?.

Blues , yes cases are rising but because most of the population has been double jabbed the hospitalisation and death rate are going down . Most people are just ill for a while then are ok .
As l and others have said churches of all other denominations have re-opened here in the UK . I don't see why Kingdom Halls can't .

As asp59 said most , if not all , churches are open and have been for a good few months now . There are probably people who are nervous about attending in person but my church has a pretty much pre-covid attendance.

25 million
by road to nowhere inwife tells me the latest video mentions the wt has spent $25 million on covid relief.
the "food pantry" was all local, and is almost non existent.
the government food was mostly inedible on the rare occasions it came.

I've not seen any evidence of JWs doing anything to help during covid lockdown in the uk .
Lots of churches have permanent food banks and many let their buildings be used for vaccination centres .

Sexual abuse of children by French Catholic clergy,
by MacHislopp inihave received from aeuropean friend the following:.
pope francis on wednesday expressed his personal shame and that of the church at the sexual abuse of children by french catholic clergy, after the scale of the problem was laid bare in a devastating report.. i wish to express to the victims my sadness and pain for the trauma they have suffered," he said during his weekly audience at the vatican.. "and also my shame, our shame, my shame for the inability of the church for too long to put them at the centre of its concerns.. "i pray and we all pray together -- to you lord the glory, to us the shame.
this is the time for shame.".

I'm confused
" no one is required to reveal the truth to those who do not have the right to know it "
That was stated by the Catholic Church ?
It sounds exactly like JW wording.
