must the testimony of two witnesses of child abuse be them witnessing the abuse as it happens (seeing or hear it), or can it be two witnesses of strong circumstantial evidence as described on the back page of the july study edition watchtower?.
if the two witnesses must have actually witnessed the abuse take place, how would that work in the two scenarios below?.
scenario 1.. pioneer johnny has been privately counseled by the elders in the past not to be so “touchy” with kids in the hall, always given them big hugs and the like.
Or he may get no reproof at all as in the case of Lot who the bible says is a righteous man. 2Pet.2:7
Lot had incest with not one but two of his daughters that he had sex with on 2 occasions .gen.19:31-38
Its alright for some ,its not what you know but who you know apparently.
pattern of excuses.
example #1. blame the bible !.

Thanks for bumping this thread
“best life ever” is displayed at watchtower farms, near pine bush.
the jehovah’s witnesses' maze is a work of devotional art, and not intended for exploration like the pagan ones made for hudson valley tourists every halloween.

The post is in the social / humour section LOL
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
Their are just so many truths in these memes ,keep them coming , I luv em .
i'm a member on jw talk (until now at least) and have been regularly checking up on their thread regarding the annual meeting.
there hasn't been a great deal to report on except for this recent post that has been made.
i may get outed but that's no loss.
When the news media make reports about child sexual abuse in the JW religion its fake news/apostate lies ,.
Yet when the same news media makes reports about the so called persecution of their religion its taken seriously as absolute gospel truth.
My mind boggles.
from bbc news "five jw's from the kirov region detained with about $ 7,500 accused of funding and organizing meetings....they found literature...and two hand granades and a landmine".
the russians are such idiots planting evidence....and quarrelling with the neutral and sheepish jw land...and of course inflamating their persecution complex.
.
when did you guys start to doubt your faith in god?'.
what made you doubt your faith in god?.
thanks !.
A situation came up in my life where I manipulated a body of Elders in making a judicial decision against a brother who I believed was being treated unfairly .
So then I started to really examine what the Bible actually said and it eventually became obvious that it was no more the word of God than the book of Mormon or the Koran or the Talmud.
I`m now an Atheist
what is watchtowers position on the identity of the king of the north?
Agreed jwdoctrine I couldn`t find any reference to Russia in that publication to being the King of the North .
To my knowledge they haven`t identified anyone as the king of the north since the publication of "Your Will Be Done On Earth" that identified the USSR as the king of the north which has long since been disbanded .
Would you care to clarify sir82 ?
this manipulative new caleb and sophia video has got me so angry!!.
the level of cultiness has just gone to a whole new level!.
https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/make-jehovah-god-happy/.
Jehovah`s Witnesses will never ever become a mainstream religious organization they will forever be a small insignificant Cult religion until they are no more .
Any normal person watching these types of videos directed at children would be appalled at the content and inference made .
i’m happy to say that, yet as always with the wts there is a price to be paid.
i’ll explain how this is working out.there’s a new development in the family that’s making the final break possible, and sadly is where the penalty for leaving is going to happen.
only one person of all the jw family history is left that could start a fifth, he’s my nephew.
Jesus the prince of peace Isa.9:6,7. didn`t come to bring peace on the Earth but to cause division in one`s household.Matt.10:34-37.
He said he knows his parents will not speak with him once they know his position even if he isn’t disfellowshipped or disassociates himself.
Let`s put the blame where the blame originates from.
I wish all the best for your nephew in the tough times ahead for him and hope he has the courage to forge ahead with his convictions.
It takes guts to do that at a young age.
