  JW Sister: raped, pregnant what does she do?, abortion or adoption?

  by Olivia Wilde in

  this question came out frequently from a situation known to some of us who knew of 2 cases.... if a single or married sister gets rapped by stranger or incest, a pregnancy results, she is not allowed to have an abortion but neither is she allowed to give it up for adoption?...i always question why not up for adoption?...

  no you will be blood guilty because the child won't be raised in the "truth"... hmmmmm does anyone heard of that?

  is it a matter of consciousness?

  In the case of an ectopic pregnancy an abortion is acceptable by the b0rg otherwise the mother dies...that might have a bearing on this topic but I've never heard or seen actual b0rg policy on this.

  First post I’ve seen where a Circuit Overseer is trying to denigrate the Royal Commission. Are these new instructions from WT?

  Is the OP in Australia? Seems they might instruct CO's to do a talk about it but not sure it they would in other countries.

  Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

  by The Rebel in

  2. friends

  i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.

  that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

  there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

  I used to feel pity that they are 100% full on in that they are held captive to the concept that they are God's Chosen ones...but then that was wiped out when Mr G.Jackson of the GB said in Australia that he hopes to ask Jesus soon a few question.

  They live in their own little bubble...

  It must be a concern of all the information that is now been leaked

  by joe134cd in

  i have put up previous posts about this in the past, but i just thought that it was worth mentioning again.

  it has to be of concern to them with how quickly information is getting leaked.

  hell it even surprises at just how slowly information spreads by offical means.

  I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to release letters that were not true but in a rue to catch bethelites or elders who leak out...

  Printing Company to Video Production Company - Insider Information

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.

  however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

  we all have come to the conclusion that printed material from the wt is going way of the dinosaur.

  My Opinions on whats going on in WT land - Insider Information

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off, i'd like to state that i currently have "privileges" in the congregation and volunteer at bethel on and off throughout the year.

  that's as much information as i will currently give about myself.. starting off, i think something big is coming in the form of lawsuits and bad pr.

  they seem to be batting down the hatches in preparation for something the last few years and even more so the last few months.

  Interesting comments that Bethel are all bumbling fools who can't manage a project or their finances.

  I find this strange, I worked in Bethel in the UK for a few years and went over to NY and if anything they were more prudent and project managed every little thing to make sure nothing is wasted including time and especially money.

  So how they have gone from being that to this is very strange in my opinion...I'll also add they have sold a billion dollars worth of property in the last ten years...the cost of Warwick and UK Bethel combined is not even 200 million so just how the money has dried up I don't get.

  I don't think they are in trouble in the immediate future, I work in a publishing firm and all round the world publishing firms are cutting costs and looking at expenditure to try and survive in a digital age.

  The WT are doing no different to all other publishing companies so in my opinion they will not fail or go bankrupt in the next year, they are actually thinking about their long term survival as a publishing company by cutting costs now.

  It may seem sudden to us exjws but we are seeing the same thing in publishing firms where they "panic" and start to make drastic changes.

  Just my two cents...

  If they do start to struggle and get lawsuits beyond what they can handle nothing would give me more joy!

  Reasons for leak and building stop story

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have some feeling about the am2015 leak and the recent building stop story going arround.. it wouldn't surprise me that the information is a calculated leak.. - jw's are informal informed about the changes and adopt them informal.. - the building stop influences the concience of jw's for donating more money.. at the other hand, maybe there has occured a financial disaster for example they invested bilions in volkswagen.. gorby.
