  What the G.B.of J.W.`s put in print for the rank &file can differ widely from what the G.B.of J.W`s put in print for the non "witness" public in general .

  What Jehovah`s Witnesses say they do for the public consumption and what they actually do in practice are two totally different things .

  The G.B. / WTB&TS /Jehovah`s Witnesses are masters of speaking out of both sides of their mouth at the same time.

  Another classic example is of how they claim to be champions of the family unit and marriage. In their magazines , JW.org broadcast etc ,

  Yet in practice they destroy marriages and the family unit ,the internet is full of examples of how they have destroyed family`s and that what is published on the internet is only a fraction of what is happening and not being reported on the internet .

  If banning religions and seizing properties worked, then there would have been zero witnesses in Germany post the Nazi regime.

  Would that have been such a bad thing ?

  In all this, I fear for the safety of the individual JW's in Russia.

  Nice sentiments Dw, however do you honestly think J.W.`s in Russia fear for your safety ? they see you and me as food for the birds to be slaughtered at Armageddon.

  I think it would be interesting if we could have a list of all the Countries where current sexual abuse within the Jehovah`s Witness organization is under investigation .

  Their seems to be a lot that I am aware of ,such as :

  Spain , The U.K. ,Netherlands , Australia , The U.S.A. that come to mind in the last few months .

  How many others are their ?

  Tis a pity they can`t all share the information they have .

  Did not the ARC identify over 1000 cases of child sexual abuse cases investigated by the Elders with their in-house judicial committees and not one of them was ever reported to the police or any child protection authorities ?

  This is a fact that cannot be disputed .over a period of what 40-50 years ?

  And remember their are three Elders on a Judicial Committee 3 times 1000 cases equals 3000 Elders who failed in their obligation to look after the most vulnerable of their flock the CHILDREN

  Shame on them .

  What is the situation with JWs in countries where cocain is produced

  by joe134cd in

  i was thinking what is the position taken where a community almost depends on cocain production to survive.

  where almost everyone is directly or indirectly involved in in it.

  what is the situation with witnesses who live in those areas.

  Haven`t the WTB&TS got investments that have ties to the tobacco industry ? I seem to remember something brought up in the past that prove they do ?

  "over a year ago, i volunteered to escort the remains of marines killed in iraq should the need arise.

  the military provides a uniformed escort for all casualties to ensure they are delivered safely to the next of kin and are treated with dignity and respect along the way.

  movie called Taking Chance.Thanks CoCo ,I will look out for it .

  I often wonder about the people who take their freedoms of today for granted would be if the Axis powers had won the war ,under those systems their is no way on earth we would be enjoying the freedoms we do enjoy today.

  We would do well to read the history books of the atrocities of the Nazis and the Japanese during and before WW2

  The Rape Of Nan KIng by the Japanese in China for example .

  I wonder also of the JW`s who gloss over all of the wars sanctioned by Jehovah in the old Testament and they never seem to imagine that their were many , thousands ? of deaths of Israelis Jehovah`s people under the Theocracy of Jehovah`s rule .

  The fact that their were deaths is brought out in the account of David who sent the husband of Bathsheba to the front line where he knew he would be killed .

  And thanks for the link jwleaks I think we will hear a lot more about this campaign in the future here in Australia.

  Will A Rapid Increase In Human Intelligence Lead To World Peace Between Governments

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. social

  7 years ago

  with the exponential grow in computer processing power and deep mind studies of intelligence and ai and the possibility that we can hook up our minds to this super intelligence(elon musk's solution) and that this super intelligence can explore what is,, without human bias and selfishness and come to better non violent solutions to the big problems facing humans and all things.

  i see a super intelligence if made in the best possible way would have to be without any built in bias obscures information and will be faulty.. i'm thinking that with great advancements in the fields of psychology, and science the human race will reap many benefits money may even become a thing of the past the way i see it.. being that we are humans capable of both good and bad this technology increase will mean some suffering from man's bad side it can't be helped but i do feel that man's evolution will move in a rather rapid exponential direction towards good by us coming to terms with recognizing our shadow(jung) and emptying it, this alone would stop a lot of warring and a much more sane relationship with other governments.

  the more shadow projections we take back the better we get along with people the less we take offence, i see it becoming common knowledge in the future and more psychological profiles of world leaders up for grabs with this increase in information acting as a teacher for the public to tone down violent tendencies of these leaders.
