Jehovah's Witnesses and Jimmy Swaggart

by Lady Lee in

a website i had not seen before tells the story and provides the scans of the court case.

http://www.bibletopics.com/biblestudy/84.htm .

more of the scans are on page 2 so click the link at the bottom of the page.

I think this should be bumped for newbies .

If your not familiar with Jimmy Swaggart and his TV/Radio Evangelism he has built a Dynasty of a Religious Empire since beginning full time Evangelism only since 1955 that reaches out all over the USA New Zealand and Australia .

Look up his achievements ( Empire Building) on the internet you will have to admit it`s impressive in the short time he has been operating.

So why would the WTB&TS become a "Friend Of The Court" in a court case against Jimmy Swaggart defending his position ?

Wasn`t / isn`t he a part of "Babylon The Great" false religion ?

Australian States & Territories Fail to Sign Up on a Redress Scheme For Victims of Child Sexual Abuse.

by smiddy3 in

at a recent coag {,council of australian governments} meeting the subject/issue of states & territories to sign up for a national redress scheme to compensate victims of institutional abuse sexual and otherwise fell on deaf ears.. not one state or territory agreed to sign up .

not one.. i am sure the victims of child sexual abuse within various institutions not only the jehovah`s witnesses victims would be very disheartened to learn that.individual states and territories of government within australia do not support a national redress scheme to compensate victims of child sexual abuse .. the south australian govt.

to my understanding is they will never do so .

Joshua 10:13

by UnshackleTheChains in

who's right....man or god?.

think about it!.

I don`t see how it could be interpreted to mean it`s referring to an eclipse when it`s indicating the sun was about midday and didn`t set for a whole day .

To me that says the sun was visible in the sky for 18 hours and not the usual 12 hours.

The scripture also says the moon was visible in the daylight hours also which happens and it also remained motionless in the sky

.What the Bible writer didn`t appreciate Is that the sun does not revolve around the earth and for it to apparently stand still the earth would have had to stop rotating on it` axis which would have been catastrophic for all life on earth.

It just couldn`t happen

An elder with only one testicle

by stillin in

i happen to be one of very few people who know of this condition that the man has.

he had an accident several years ago with some power equipment.

leviticus 21:20 commands that no man present the bread at the temple with damaged testicles... so?.

I knew a few sisters over the years that stood up to the Elders in their respective congregations over personal issues .

I guess they had balls that the Elders didn`t.

{ Well if women can have beards in heaven I can`t see why they can`t have balls on earth }

Thanks for that clarification shepherdless .

In earlier reports the JW`s had objections to joining the redress scheme also ,I wonder how that`s going.

In that ABC regional radio station report it also said that the Catholic Church supported the redress scheme proposed by the Government.And at least they have come out with public apologies .

Not so the Jehovah Witness Organization

Congregation`s deny such a problem even exists and blame it on apostate lies

$5.5 Million to be transferred to World Wide Work from Assembly Hall fund

by Sour Grapes in

a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.

it was sold a couple of years ago.

we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

Shouldn`t this sort of information be forwarded on to leah Rehmini ? who is supposed to be looking at doing an expose on the Jehovah Witness religion ?

I hope somebody does this i`m pc illiterate

Isn`t this the type of information she could use ?

Also the loans to Kingdom halls that were cancelled out loans that may have had a few years to go that were then cancelled by the organization only to introduce a voluntary contribution that matched what you were paying on your loan but now you were committed to paying that same amount forever ?

If that`s not a scam then what is ?
