  If it follows the same line as the ARC into Institutionalised Child sexual Abuse it could very well be a good thing.

  Here`s hoping

  Ladies First

  i know a lady who says she feels demeaned if a man walks on the outside or opens a door for her or stands aside to let her pass.

  i just think it's good manners.

  being a gentleman has nothing to do with equality in my opinion..

  When i wrote that I was thinking of an experience where a woman using foul language abused a man for doing the polite thing and opening a door for her .

  I do respect women who are women that dont use fowl language when a man tries to do the right thing.

  I have heard of a woman who abused a man for doing just that being a gentleman.This is how political correctness has gone insane if that`s what it is.

  I am old school in that regard and I would do all of those things and more for a woman ,my father always wore a hat and when he greeted a woman he would always dip his lid as a respect to her.

  If a woman challenged me for doing the gentlemanly thing for her ,she would get a mouthful from me as to what sort of person she is.

  Will Lawyers Eventually Usurp Absolute Control Over The JW Religion ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have no trouble thinking this is a distinct possibility happening at some future date .more and more the g.b.members are relying on lawyers to get them out of tight spots that the g.b.

  and the fact that they need lawyers to get them out of.. gradually and by stealth with making little in-roads here and there in gaining some measure of control in modifying doctrines to keep the religion one step ahead of the law ,they eventually manipulate events whereby they can take full control over the religion and oust the remaining g.b.members as apostates or whatever and take full control over the jehovah`s witness empire for themselves .. what do you think ?.

  a possibility ?.

  Great comments everyone ,Publishing ? not so much anymore ,Real Estate and Legals seem to be more of the go nowadays .

  I should also make mention of the scams taking place involving KH `s ,building with volunteer labor ,owned and then sold by WT.....,congregations donating equivalent funds to the organization even after they have paid for there KH ? And their are a few more that I cant think of at the top of my head at the moment

  And branding their religion with the blue logo JW.ORG to get all of the answers to your simple thought provoking questions that the average JW cant answer .

  NWT Being the Most Accurate

  by VIII in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was going through my old files and came upon an email between some family that i was privy to.

  it is about the nwt bible and alex trebek asking what is the most accurate bible, etc.

  i am copying and pasting this (for nathan natas...) so he will have so fun data to carry with him with that jw bible as he goes door-to-door.

  I have said it before and I will say it again. The kingdom Interlinear of The New Testament printed by the WTB&TS a word for word Translation of the Greek into English does not contain the four Hebrew letters called the Tetragrammaton or any four Greek letters denoting GOD`s name in that publication .

  They have added to the scripture which is taboo by inserting that name Jehovah in the marginal columns .

  They invite the public to come along to there meetings to see these videos which is not always at a convenient time for everyone ,and when we,this site and others like it , offer a service to show anybody who is interested enough to view it ,they have a hissy fit ,shut down the sites and threaten legal action for breach of copyright laws.?

  My mind boggles.

  I have to share these scriptures They all are speaking about Jesus.

  by niknak in

  2. bible

  he is the image of the invisible god,m the firstborn of all creation;n16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,owhether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities.

  all other things have been created through himp and for him.17 also, he is before all other things,q and by means of him all other things were made to exist, .

  the scriptures above are in nwt bible and are found in colossians 1:15-17. now take note of the following scriptures found in john 1:1-5.

  Welcome to the forum niknak , look forward to hearing more from you and your experiences with the JW`s .

  Have a look at the KI published by the WTB&TS John 1:1 in the word for word translation does it say, a god ?

  And what scripture in the New Testament explicitly states that Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah ? None

  On the other hand about twenty scriptures explicitly state that Christians should be witnesses of Jesus .

  Glad to have you on board niknak.

  on may 6th, 2019 watch tower attorney paul polidoro faced off against anonymous reddit user darkspilver, represented by eff, the electronic frontier foundation.. link to youtube video with audio from may 6th hearing:.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wzopjmzfco&feature=youtu.be.

  polidoro, noted for his appearance in the supreme court case of watchtower versus stratton ohio, now represents watch tower of pennsylvania in their efforts to flush out the inside leak sources of documents, videos and images.. these documents and other sensitive information have been leaked to the public and reposted by dozens of individuals since 2017. watch tower is deeply concerned about the internal moles leaking this information, since much of it has been used by whistleblowers to reveal watch tower's private internal policies and procedures.. included in the leaks are publisher id and records management materials which reveal the extent of jehovah's witness data collection and management prodedures, including the destruction of documents.. jehovah's witnesses have come under intense scrutiny for their failure to report child abuse across the globe, not only in mandatory reporting states, but in every location where clergy members are not required to report.. the dangerous policies of the jehovah's witness organization have resulted in a significant movement among current and former members to expose the organization and force transparency.. current members with high-level access to watch tower documents have risked expulsion and legal recourse for their efforts.. the electronic frontier foundation's attorney alex moss represented the unidentified darkspilver redditor in defense of the motion to quash watch tower's subpoena to unmask his identity.. listen closely as both sides make their case, and the judge seeks to understand the issues involved.. freedom of speech versus alleged copyright infringement- you be the judge.

  If Jehovah`s Witnesses have the "TRUTH" why are they trying to punish someone through the law courts that they themselves often state are beholden to Satan the Devil as the GOD of this System of things ,who just passes on what they have either written in their publications or stated over JW.Org programs .

  Jehovah`s Witnesses have been prolific in publishing material about themselves and what they believe by various means for many decades.

  What is it now they want to hide from the general public .?

  JW`s claim to be Bible students have they not read ! ....1 Cor.6 :1-8 ?
