  Of course its too early to blow your trumpet in victory as he could and will very likely appeal the decision of the court and it could drag on for years if it eventually went before the High Court of Australia which is a possibility.

  Having said that it still is a significant victory that could/should open the way for many other cases to be found in favour of victims of Child sexual abuse where Clergy/Priests/Elders have failed to report such abuse and covered it up in their respective institutions to be charged and convicted as this Archbishop Wilson no less a senior member of the Roman Catholic Church of Australia. was.

  I think we would all like to see the Elders of the Jehovah`s Witnesses face the same charges given that their were over 1000 Judicial cases by Elders of Child Sexual abuse that were never reported to Law Enforcement`s /Police or Child Welfare Authorities and was in effect covered up by the religion.

  LTPF you have nailed it like a "hole in one" and it all flies in the face of the statement of C.T.Russell`s words to the effect that

  ,"We will never ask or beg for money if the voluntary contributions dry up then we will know that God has said it is enough and our work is done"

  The "Time machine" genre belongs in the Si-Fi box and the imagination of people who make up excellent books and movies on the subject and I hope that`s where it stays.

  Imagine some good meaning well intentioned J.W.sending you back to a time when you were an active J.W over and over and over again until you saw the light again and rejoined

  In Search of An Analogy

  i hope this finds all of you well.

  i'm also hoping some of you might be able to help me with a particular type of de-witnessing strategy that i'm trying to develop more in my own discussions with active family members.

  it seems to me that analogy and metaphor plays a prominent role in the society's teaching (critical thought killing) techniques.

  by Finkelstein in

  2. beliefs

  historians of ancient history along with bible scholars have found from where the ancient hebrews acquired their god yhwh .. el was the all powerful god of the canaanites which the hebrews converted mostly to a monotheist style of worship for themselves.. apparently their were ancient civilizations that predated the canaanites as well .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnpaoappiqm.

  And according to the "Aid Book" published by Jehovah`s Witnesses they admit that the name Jehovah is not an accurate translation of his name but it is the most popular/common name in use in the world .( Satan`s world mind you ) ?

  And who in this world would be the people most likely to be using a name of God ? Why Christendom of course whether they be preachers Clergy Bible Scholars ,Biblical researchers etc.

  ,However they, in the world that are using that name Jehovah all belong in one form or another to Christendoms religions who Jehovah`s Witnesses have branded as apostates .? of the Christian faith.

  So how is it that Jehovah`s Witnesses adopt for God a name that is invented and sanctioned by Apostate Christendom in the thirteenth Century namely Jehovah ?

  Maybe the journalist should have asked what is it that Jehovah`s witnesses provide at these conventions that is any different from what any other christian religion offers ?

  Jehovah`s Witnesses are mainly made up of ex members of other Christian religions that have been poached away by Jehovah`s Witnesses ,very few join from non Christian religions how is it you don`t seem to appeal to non Christian religions ?

  Christendoms Religions have spent thousands of years making converts to Christianity and Jehovah`s Witnesses come along this past 100 years or so and steal them away to an old time worship of Jehovah that was exclusive to the Jews and not Jesus that the scriptures say" every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground" and " that God gave him (Jesus) a name that is above every other name" ( which includes Jehovah)

  As for the obese guy "practice what you preach man " or is it a case of do what I say and not what I do .

  Just saying.

  2. child-abuse

  one of our case studies examined the responses of the jehovah’s witness organisation to allegations of child sexual abuse.

  we also held an institutional review hearing to provide an opportunity for the jehovah’s witness organisation to inform us of its current policies and procedures in relation to child protection and child safe standards, including responding to allegations of child sexual abuse.. as of 31 may 2017, of the 4,029 survivors who told us during private sessions about child sexual abuse in religious institutions, 70 survivors told us about abuse in the jehovah’s witnesses.

  of the victims we heard about, 80.0 per cent were female.

  The reason I have posted this is it is on public record for all to see and it should also prove to lurkers and nay sayer`s and deniers that this inquiry was real and not made up lies by disgruntled ex Jehovah`s witnesses or apostates .

  As the J.W / Religious Organization has tried to dismiss it as .

  And hopefully it will also show our friends and Jehovah`s Witnesses throughout the earth how real this government inquiry was .

  Of course Jehovah`s Witnesses were not the only organization that came under this scrutiny ,but we are concerned here and now about Jehovah`s Witnesses .

  The case studies involving Jehovah`s Witnesses were case study 29 and case study 59
