Careful, when they find out your true feelings they might report you to the elders.

Would You Stop Buying A Product Because of Political Differences?

would you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?

conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?

would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?

tiki - I thought I would be the only one to comment here who absolutely abhors Martha, every time I see her items in Macy's,whether it's a towel or frying pan, I will definitely buy someone elses products. She will never get a dime from me.

Hitting the fan: CD epidemic at my Hall

by neat blue dog in

yesterday my congregation met for field service and the elder taking the lead did something not so smart: he brought up the child abuse situation and the recent news articles hitting local news across the country.

he said 'you can see that the persecution is really coming' and that we should be ready if someone complains about it at the door.

(funny how it's persecution when it's us and righteous judgment when it happens to the other churches.

LauraV

neatbluedog - what that brother did was brilliant, warned them about the sex abuse scandals and with the typical JW pompous attitude blamed it on persecution, they started looking it up right there and nobody went out in field service that day, perfect!! Not the outcome bother pompous thought he was going to get that morning!

Just remember these two words you used to described the Watchtower study, they also apply to all the meetings, if you ever feel that maybe you want to contact your study conductor - MIND NUMBING !!

Jehovah's Witnesses's cover up of Child Abuse subject of NBC News Special in Sacramento California.

by Balaamsass2 in

kudos to the members of this group whose tireless work got this in-depth news special into every living room within 60 miles of the california capitol.

every top cop, prosecutor, and lawmakers aid was exposed to the dark side of watchtower.

APieceofShitNameTate - You mention 60 Minutes, more than ten years ago, there was a story about the JWs on Dateline. I was hoping that would've brought all the things that they hide to front, but nothing happened, same with Leah Remini's show, thinking that the next day or so would be headlines of how the JWs mistreat and lie to their people, but nothing. I think Scientology and the Mormons get more press than the JWs

Well, at least this past week there have been stories about there sexual abuse that are coming, I see the post ahead of mines posted something from California news stations,I'm on the east coast in the New York area and our local station did a story about two former JWs that are now suing, so I guess this week must be file a suit agains the JWs if you were molested, that's a good thing !! I hope many more of those that were afraid to speak come forward too!

Can this be true: GB to court - NBC ??

by Festus in

is this a bad joke or "fake news"?.

nbc new york is claiming "attorneys are expected on monday to announce the filing of lawsuits in king's county supreme court against eight members of the governing body of the jehovah's witnesses for alleged child sexual abuse claims.".

eventhough i would enjoy to see this happen i am very suspiciouse concerning nbcs reliability with this case.. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/happening-today-nj-water-cosby-appeal-epstein-probe-536740491.html.

LauraV

as soon as i got home this evening I saw the local news on wnbc, a live report in front of bethel too, as long as the word is getting out that they're no different than any other religion that's alright with me, I hope people start viewing them as pedos like a lot are thinking about the Catholic church now

Do You Believe The News Media Is Trustworthy?

by minimus in

jw

recently a friend and i were having a conversation about the news media.

he is a democrat but he’s also a very reasonable person.

i’ve known him for many years.

LauraV

Well, at this point it depends on what news channel you follow, as "theonlyoneleft" says:

So many times things are just twisted to give us a different perspective of the real reality.

So, as everyone knows, if you watch FOX, guess who you're thoroughly satisfied with as current POTUS, if you watch MSNBC,guess who you can't wait to be replaced in 2020.

The picture below is in an article by David Mikkelson from Snopes published yesterday, the pic is from the El Paso shooters Twitter feed, so yeah, I'm kinda getting the feel that ol' 45 had just a wee bit of a part of what happened this weekend. Maybe someone else can post the whole article and pic, I'm not tech savvy at all, I'm surprised I actually was able to get the picture to actually come out here, so anyone, pls post the whole thing.
