  AUSTRALIA: Religion start selling real estate assets to pay compensation to child abuse victims following Child Abuse Royal Commission

  by jwleaks in

  paying for the sins of their church.

  australians are becoming less religious so congregations are getting smaller.

  that means there are fewer parishioners to contribute money.. ..."they're simply looking at the dollars they can reap from the sale of this wonderful old building and i simply don't feel that i should be spending my weekends keeping the view clear," mr thomas said.. ...the royal commission into child sexual abuse exposed widespread paedophilia within religion and concluded that its leaders were at times weak, ineffectual, and even complicit.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-30/paying-for-the-sins-of-their-church/9586602.

  Of course that wouldn`t be the same reason why the JW religion is selling off so much Real Estate now would it ?

  Thank your lucky stars that you have found the TTATT when you have .It has probably saved you many more years of misery and heartache.

  It has also stolen my parents and my sister from me. However, it has not stolen all happiness from my life.

  we can only hope that that these bonds can be restored though it is not up to you to do so the onus is upon them to do so since they are the ones that do the shunning.

  At the instigation of the Governing Body Members

  Doesn`t the Scriptures state "Do not put your trust in Knoble`s in whom no salvation belongs ?

  Ps 146 :3 and by extension the Governing Body who have set themselves up as your spiritual Gurus on their say so and their say so only.?

  red flags should go up here especially when they say words to the effect "even if you don`t agree with our direction you obediently go along with it anyway " ?

  Excuse me ? you will blindly follow some direction from someone you don`t personally know because he has a label given by some other people you don`t personally know and you willingly put your life and the life of your family into the hands of these strangers ?

  You Know You're in the Wrong Religion When....

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. beliefs

  just thought a review the following material many have contributed to might be helpful .

  you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....

  "do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in 1919?"2.

  When you are told by the G.B. that have to witness to, for, and about Jehovah God and the Christian Greek Scriptures say no such thing ? Look up their K.I. Translation of The Christian Greek Scriptures .

  Christians are continuously told to witness about Jesus ,for Jesus and about Jesus ,over 30 times , their is not one scripture in the Christian Greek Scriptures that says Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah , not one.

  Why would the New Testament / Christian Greek Scriptures state that the name Jesus is to be held above every other name in heaven on earth or under the earth. ? and not Jehovah ?

  Phil.2.9-11

  Christians are to be witnesses of Jesus Christ not Jehovah.

  How old's the human race?

  hi does anyone know any good articles or videos about how old mankind and the earth are and carbon dating?

  .

  i've just started looking into it but there seems to be a lot of conflicting ideas over accuracy so i'm unsure what to think.

  The bible teaches us that the human race is approximately 6,000 years old.

  I`m not sure that is really true , I think the interpretations some Christian religions give to Bible verses would like their members to believe that ,but that is not what the Bible actually says,

  or is / does it ?

  New Store called Best Life Gifts

  by Franklin30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed a recent post where it was suggested the store was taken over by hostile means!.

  the person who posted it pretended to have knowledge of why the store changed names but clearly was operating with an agenda!

  one filled with lies, misinformation and deceit!.

  Most Jehovah`s Witnesses are gullible with or about anything to do with this religion and sadly their are many in the religion who are opportunists who will take advantage of the gullible in the religion for their own profit and will exploit them .

  Sad but true.

  Jehovah`s witnesses are blind to the fact that the name/word "Jehovah" does not occur once ,not once in the Christian Greek text that Jehovah`s Witnesses base their New world Translation on for the new Testament.

  Neither Jesus ,the Apostles ,nor any of the disciples or any body else ever uttered the name/word Jehovah in the Christian Greek Scriptures /New Testament.

  And not once in the Christian Greek Scriptures are Christians admonished to witness to,for or about Jehovah ,not once.

  However their are over 30 times Christians are to bear witness to,for and about Jesus Christ .

  "Who Really Is Jesus Christ" ? that is a special talk ? You have to be kidding me after 2000 years that subject has been thrashed to death .

  And they can`t come up with anything more original ? SHHEEESSSHHH

  They really do need to get a new script writer because this one is way past his use by date .
