I would have to ask if any of these stories told by the WT actually true ? They all start with ' A Christian man ' or ' A Christian woman ' , so very anonymous.

7HER HANDBAG TOLD HER TO STOP PREACHING
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/qzpj3kzgidi?si=x1xazpqmed1zq5h2.
ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.
forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!

Trump confirms, the Goal is to ABOLISH the IRS. No More Taxes for Citizens.
by liam intrump said in another speech, had the citizens never voted democrat, and rinos were more concern about the citizens than lining their own pockets, the government would of had enough money to buy every citizen a home, car, full paid college education, and all social security recipients would be receiving 100k a year.
the trillions of dollars that were stolen by democrats and rinos and given to other countries for transgender surgeries, wars in other countries, and other worthless stuff throughout the years, could have been invested in so many avenues, and american citizens would be the richest people in the entire world and the most innovative.
don’t ever vote democrat again.

Further Crisis looming for JW org re Safeguarding ?
by Phizzy inif you substitute j.w org for c of e this really hits home : (from bbc news site) :.
the church of england risks further crisis if it fails to adopt a sweeping new independent system to keep people safe, the former head of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse has said.
(prof. alexis jay).. "i think it's absolutely necessary because church safeguarding as it stands falls below the standards of secular organisations, and i do not think that can continue when it has also led to such serious weaknesses," she told the bbc..

This is part of a statement made by Marsha de Cordova in an interview about the vote . She is the MP for Battersea and the Second Church Estates Commissioner.
" The motion passed today did call for further work on the practical and legal implications necessary to implement Model 4 . I hope that work will be up with energy . I will be following these developments closely . "
Model 4 is the option to have all safeguarding independent.
So that option has not been completely rejected .

Announcement of Elijah's Coming
by ElijahisMe init is with profound humility and reverence that i share a message of great significance.
in the year 2001, my son and i witnessed the birth of the kingdom of god, experiencing spiritual battles that affirm our divine calling.
as prophesied in the scriptures, my son is the elijah to come, the forerunner to jesus' second coming.. living in the wilderness by his own choosing, my son embodies the spirit and mission of elijah, preparing the way for the lord.

I object to the phrase MAGAt Brit , those two words should never be put together. Brits are absolutely not MAGAts.
Also what's the Daily Mail got to do with it ? More like Fox News l would have thought .

Earnest, it may be that different Diocese do things a bit differently, however from the top down it has been made clear that safeguarding needs to be taken seriously.
Actually all this started well before the recent scandal . For many years DBS checks have been in place for anyone who may have access to children or vulnerable adults. Also those people have been required to take safeguarding courses which have to be kept up-to-date.
Last week our Vicaress Claire had to go on a safeguarding course dealing with domestic abuse. Not just for physical violence but mental abuse , which can be harder to spot . She described it as harrowing.
I don't know why the Synod voted how they did yesterday but l would like to know the reasons before commenting.
We ain't perfect , but I'm not sure that any measures can be implemented to stop abuse from ever happening. We are trying and obviously our response to victims needed to change drastically .

Mmmm as a member of the CofE l know that in recent years safeguarding has been taken very seriously.
We are all being made aware of abuse in all forms - sexual, financial, emotional. Domestic violence and elder abuse.
All churches have safeguarding officers and all members are encouraged to report anything that makes them feel uncomfortable .
As a member of the PCC l have had to have specific training about awareness of something being " not right "
There have been failures and in some cases even maybe a JW type of attitude of not bringing the church into disrepute . However lessons have been learnt

Miscarriage myths amongst JW
by Anony Mous inso i am having these discussions about children etc and there are witness ties and family history in these discussions.
i got the feeling having this discussion that they seemed to imply somehow it was ‘the parent’s fault’ for having a miscarriage.
whether it was domestic violence, or the mother did something wrong themselves.

Kerry , that seems a very sweeping statement. I think that society in general now understands that there are medical reasons for miscarriages. Also my religious friends, male and female , are not misogynistic. I feel sad that your experience with religion has given you such a negative impression.
