When I typed in Jehovah`s witnesses ,the first 3 were Jw.org then Wikepedia and next was this site and after that the next 5 were anti JW sites all on the first page.

Jehovah`s Witnesses / Governing Body Claim To Abhor Child Sexual Abuse Within Their Congregations /Members who are victims.?
by smiddy3 inso my question to them is why have they continually failed to report incidents of child sexual abuse of child members in their congregations to the appropriate authorities ,either police or child protection agency`s, when they are holding judicial committees into these allegations in their congregations when they occur or even some time after ?.
they have consistently failed to do so.. and this failure to do so is not confined to one country ,it is a pattern that is repeated worldwide ,in one country after another country .
(worldwide where they operate in ).

Thankfully the ARC into Institutions Of child sex abuse has brought this to the fore.
The results of which are to be handed down on December the 14TH I believe.In Australia.
I just hope this ARC is not just going to be a paper tiger.
{ Remember this does not just focus on JW `s it encompasses all Institutions with children}

Bullshit ,maybe just a jw urban legend .Their is no way this woman was a JW ,she was deeply involved in politics and power for herself and a former mistress of Robert Mugabe while she was married to another man before she became Mugabes wife.

Mnangagwa was an old crony of Mugabe and implicit in his crimes ,all of Mugabe`s mates still hold office so I don`t see anything is really going to change in Zimbabwe and when the people realise that then what will happen .?
For any peace and stability to to be on the horizon all of Mugabe`s crony`s need to be replaced with a fresh brood.
Sadly I can`t see that happening in the near/foreseeable future.

Jesus Christ The Founding source of Christianity [ Peace, Love,Family ,forgiveness and turn the other Cheek teaching ]
by smiddy3 inthat is the popular view of jesus christ as the prince of peace and the protector of children.. you don`t hear very much about the flip side of jesus teachings that contradict those teachings do you.. matt.10:34-37 .
"34 .do not think i came to put peace upon the earth,i came to put not peace but a sword 35..for i came to cause division with a man against his father and a daughter against her mother and a young wife against her mother in law 36.,indeed a man`s enemies will be persons of his own household.
37. he that has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than me is not worthy of me.".

{Conversely it also means a man against his mother and his daughter against her father and a young man against his father in law.}

Is it just me or am I being paranoid in thinking there seems to be an influx of trolls joining lately ?
Could it be a conspiracy of the Borg for some reason or other ?
Just asking.

Or is thanksgiving a massive animal sacrifice ritual?
Well just suppose that it is , though I don`t believe so personally, however it pales into insignificance with the massive animal sacrifice rituals that Jehovah God imposed on his chosen people .
1kings 8:62-64 "twenty two thousand cattle ,and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep that the King and all the sons of Israel might inaugurate the house of Jehovah .
Jehovah created these animals and has no qualms about offering them up as sacrifices.
Cain and Abel`s sacrifice to Jehovah Gen.4:3-6 Cain was a cultivator of the ground,whereas Abel brought the firstling`s of his flock even their fatty pieces,
Who got Jehovah`s favour ? Why Abel of course because he slaughtered one of Jehovah`s creations whereas Cain was found in disfavour because he offered up the first fruits of the ground.
I think Jehovah God got it arse about ,what do you think ?

Do we need spirituality or religion to be good socially responsible people ?
by Finkelstein inreligion is declining in many countries around the world and hardly exists in some countries.. it would fair to say that scientifically acquired knowledge has taken a bite of religious practice over the years.
the premising suggestion that there is a god looking at everything mankind does or should do is vanishing out the human consciousness.. should we emulate the social directives written in ancient manuscripts established by those ancients for their civilization ?
is it possible that mankind can control and guide itself now with all the acquired knowledge we have attained, toward the ending betterment of humanity ?

Many JW people and more likely other religious people have an inbred fear that if you leave religion you will automatically fall into immorality .And it`s not something that is easily dispensed with or shaken off.
My wife was a bit apprehensive at first thinking the worst.However as the years passed that fear went out the door
After 56 years of marriage at a KH and left the religion about 25 years ago after 33 years of active service no such fear exists anymore.

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

In the 1960`s I was taught that Jehovah didn`t create all of these Galaxy`s for nothing probably/possibly he plans to eventually populate planets in these Galaxy`s with those who have proved themselves faithful here on earth and the whole universe would be filled with humans praising Jehovah
I`m not sure if it was ever in print anywhere though ? anybody remember anything like this ? pre 1960`s ?
