  Lawyers release survey on alleged Jehovah's Witness child abuse

  by Tahoe in

  2. child-abuse

  a team of lawyers has released the results of its survey on alleged child abuse by members of the jehovah's witnesses religious group in japan.. the team held a news conference in tokyo on monday.

  it provides legal support to former members of the group as well as to children of its members.. the lawyers conducted the survey, following the publishing of the health and welfare ministry guidelines last year about child abuse related to parents' religious beliefs.

  a total of 560 people responded.. the survey shows 81 percent of the respondents said they had cards indicating they desired to refuse blood transfusions.. the ministry's guidelines state that parents' refusal of medical treatments for children on religious grounds amounts to neglect --- a form of abuse.. the lawyers said investigations are necessary to find how many people died from refusing blood transfusions, and how many of them were children.. the survey also shows 92 percent of the respondents experienced whipping, 96 percent were banned from school activities, and 93 percent were forced to limit their human relations.. the lawyers said many of the children experienced physical and mental abuse, which afterward led to problems such as loneliness, sense of alienation and a lack of self-esteem.

  how many remember when the wts changed their policy on alternative service; changed it to alternative civilian service so jw men could choose it because it was not supervised by the military.

  shows how the wts quibbles with words to advance a "new teaching.

  " flag salute, voting, civilian service p. 212. civilian service.

  I was the recipient of this harsh policy and it cost me an extra year of my life.The Watchtower enforced this policy overnight on jws who where already serving an alternative sentence, they routinely disfellowshipped the ones who didn't want to extent their imprisonment by an extra year and made our life a living hell, as if it wasn't already one.Who said that this is not a loving organisation? You can watch my story on this subject bellow.

  Noah + new understanding

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so they mentioned noah couldn’t have preached to all the population back before the flood.

  do you think they might start using common sense regarding not being able to get every animal type on the ark from the whole world?.

  maybe the poor sloth from south america didn’t have to crawl all the way?

  All this non sense backtracking on Noah's day people coming back in ressurection and who are we to judge is for the birds What they really are doing is backtracking from a judgement witnessing that they proclaimed for decades and now that things are heating up around the world, assembly halls are being bombed they see they are neither ready or suited for the task at hand. Therefore, they want their members too pipe down and preach a message of peace right up to the day of Armageddon.Cowards!

  Jesus and Thomas twin theory?

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in light of the recent attack on indian jws i did some research about christianity in india and found out that india has a long history of christian influence, and not, like many of us probably believed, brought by the british, rather india has had christians for 2000 years.. matter of fact, they may be similar length and claim to the ‘original’ christians only equal by the roman (european), syrian (middle eastern) and ethiopian (african) christians.

  the story goes that judas thomas (aka doubting thomas or dydimus) (literally translated: dydimus = twin (greek) and tomas = twin (aramaic)), the twin brother of jesus travelled to india and did some miracles along the way, started the church there, hence deification of thomas is common there.. i found some articles written by eg.

  bart ehrman supporting this theory, personally not that much of a fan, but i know many interested in jw exegesis as he supports various fringe theories including wtbts claim to the name jehovah.. the claims of jesus’ twin brother seem to be supported by the original writings, including the gospel as we know it in the west (almost every canonical gospel writer alludes to the twin), but also various other non-canonical writings and at least 3 complete gospels claimed to be by thomas himself (although the oldest writings stem from the first, second and third century respectively).

  Jesus didn't have a twin brother, please stop reading gnostic non sense and concentrate in actual Church history
