NEW LAW Starting July 2012 in Qld Australia Preventing Door to Door Sales

by Hopscotch in

jw
friends

i just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.

this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.

the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .

If they continue to knock on doors..I wonder if taking any literature they offer and NOT contributing would discourage them from coming back. Maybe take the literature each time they come and say thank you and close the door..I bet after a while they would stop coming..hurt them in the pocketbook..

Course on the other hand I knew some that did this just so they could say they placed magazines..even if it cost them or they placed older magazines. The society comes out ahead no matter..as long as someone pays for the literature they are happy.

Snoozy..who knows that no law will stop them from coming to your door..

I tried to find some info on him but no go..sure would like to hear his story of why he left.. Yep..

She is writing a book..I wonder if she will include info on that.

Childish....

What would be accomplished? It would just strengthen the JW's belief that all apostates are idiots..give them a good laugh.

i have a friend, she has been my friend for over 20 years...in that 20 years i have seen her reasonably regularly.

i visit her, she visits me.. the thing that has started bugging me is this...... when i visit her it is normally in the daytime.

i stop in for a cuppa and a chat.

Have dinner earlier..later just have a light lunch type meal..or dessert..

They say it is better for you anyway to eat your heavier meal in the middle of the day and eat light in the evening..

If you continue to feed them you could say lightly "Next time we can have dinner at your house, I'll bring desert this time.."

16-year old high school senior raped & strangled inside Mexico Kingdom Hall

by Alfred in

for those who know some spanish.... .

a friend just forwarded me this (spanish) youtube video a few minutes ago... it's basically a tv news report about a rape/murder that occurred last august (2011) in mexico.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?nr=1&feature=endscreen&v=4fk4ngb9muk.

apparently, a 16-year old jw girl was lured into a kingdom hall (by someone who had the keys) and then raped and strangled to death.. the reporter starts off by saying that the police have strong leads, but i have not been able to find much more info about this on the internet.

How awful..I wonder if he was a registered pedophile by any chance..

I think they should change the two witness rule because now they have DNA..or is that considered a second witness?..

Also shouldn't God have forsaw that the world would be developing new things and the bible laws would be outdated eventaually? He should have had a disclaimer in the bible also.."This bible verse is subject to change.." Upon discovery of DNA this verse about the "Two witness rule" will be null and void..

Another JW nutjob strikes..how many more are left?

Regarding UK mandatory reporting of child abuse

by The Quiet One in

google criminal justice (withholding information on crimes against children and vulnerable adults) bill2011.. http://www.alanshatter.ie/?p=2559.

Snoozy

A witness girl I know in Australia told me that one of the elders read a letter to their congregation saying that they were to report any cases or suspect cases of child abuse to the proper authorities..no exceptions.

The thing I found interesting was that the elers daughter had been sexually abused in the same congregation..

I often wonder if the letter would have been read had it not been the elders daughter that was abused..

In case anyone is interested..the link to JW Facts on getting your records..

http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/experiences/personal-files-privacy-act-1988.php

Quote:"

There is a wealth of forms and corresponding documentation that are held in the files of both active and disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witnesses. Considering there are 7 million publishers and another 1 percent of Jehovah's Witnesses that are disfellowshipped every year (over 60,000), that is a lot of filing cabinets.

Why bother to go through all the effort and emotions to gain access to these files? To remove some of the mystique and prove that the Watchtower Society is not above the law. Though its leaders hide behind terms such as "directed by holy spirit" and "faithful and discreet slave" to dictate to and Lord it over glassy eyed followers, it is simply a legal, worldly corporation run by men. (End of Quote)"

ps..I couldn't have said it better.."simply a corporation run by men."

I wrote them and tried to get a copy of my disassociation leter from them..they refused. Said it was their private property now.

I am sure if I got a lawyer he could pursuade them to send me a copy..

But so not worth it.

Snoozy..going to read what JW facts has to say about it..
