  All at no cost to the G.B. of Jehovah`s Witnesses at H.Q. USA. And this KH now belongs to J.W./H.Q./USA

  A number of years down the track J.W./H.Q. decides to sell said K.H. and where does the money go to ?H.Q. of JW /USA

  The poor suckers who spent their time and effort and money to build this hall are left with nothing and if they want another hall they have to do it all over again .

  And get screwed again if their so gullible.

  The Pope Urger`s Priests to Confess to Child Sex Offences

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  should he have also urged lay people in the catholic religion to do the same ?

  in the catholic church their does seem to be a prominence of clergy that have been engaged in this abuse .. i`m not sure that can be said of the jehovah`s witness religion ,my understanding is while this abuse does involve elders and ms to some degree ,the majority of cases occurs within the laity class ,the rank and file members of the congregations.. where the jw`s religion is responsible for a duty of care to its most vulnerable members ,the children.. could or would the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses ever make such an appeal to the elders ,m.s.

  or the rank & file of jw`s to turn themselves in if they have been guilty of sexual abuse against a child ?.

  Another Interesting conversation with my father today

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  dad - sister x had been visiting a lawyer as she is wanting to write her disfellowshipped daughter out of her will.

  apparently her lawyer told her that if she leaves the daughter just $1000 then she can’t contest the will because she has been given her inheritance.. joe - oh thats unfortunate for the daughter as sister x is worth many times that.

  no doubt despite been dfed she has still got to pay bills and survive.. dad - sister x isn’t happy about the life style her daughter is living.

  I`m not sure that I`ve got it right but is it another example of a JW trying to blackmail another back into the religion ?

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  It fascinates me how some people can speak multiple languages fluently. I have two grandsons who can speak Japanese and English and their only 9 and 7 years old.

  Shocking Example of JW Elder Corruption

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  let's play a game of believe it or not, shall we?

  i'll relate a story, and you decide whether you believe it or not.

  what would you think of an elder who told his daughter's fiance that he would kill him if he ever did anything to hurt his daughter?

  I have no problem believing it .I have witnessed shady dealings between brothers a number of times .

  JW`s are just human beings who have faults like all of mankind (women ) too.

  Google crimes committed by active Jehovah`s Witnesses and you will find they can commit every crime under the sun just like anybody else .

  I personally know of brothers who have been guilty of fraud ,sexual offence, mis-appropriation of KH funds. and a brother who who was found guilty of murdering his pregnant wife and served time in Jail.

  And sexual dalliances between married bros, and sisters .

  The JW religion A spiritual paradise ? I don`t think so.

  - another religion that is worth researching if your interested in finding similar religions is “ iglasea ni Christo” they are a Phillipines based religion that heavily borrowed from the JWs / LDS

  And I think they actually have more members world wide than Jehovah`s Witnesses do .

  And if that is truly the case then Jehovah is blessing them more than the JW`s

  Chaos at Gatwick Airport

  perhaps all major airports will eventually employ their own industrial sized drone, operated by a trained/authorised pilot who can track and pinpoint the nut-jobs who cause such disruption and possible catastrophe..

  It could simply be youths or teenagers who without thought of consequences are just being foolhardy and thoughtless of the consequences of their actions .

  I hope that`s all it is and the authorities learn how to deal with this in future .

  Maybe their needs to be more controls and restrictions on who can own and fly a drone..

  Simon that was beautiful , I loved that , that is paradise on earth now .
