How many times has so many of us had these sentiments / views over the years and we have still had the time to eat the fruitage and no such prophecy by the WT/JW religion has ever come to fruition .?

We, the American people, paid for that report. We should and need to see the full report.

I think that is the only way to go to put an end to all of the bickering .,or will it ?

be ****** assemblies

by road to nowhere in

someone may have already noted this.

the current assemblies are be strong, be bold.

how about be fooled, be misled, be bullied.

Be vulnerable

Be naive

Be susceptible to BS

Be as a child who will believe anything an Elder (parent) tells them.

Be a victim of Faith that can lead you astray on so many levels .

And above all

Believe in a GOD who is going to solve all mankinds problems once and for all.

The Atlantic Magazine: A Secret Database of Child Abuse

i haven't seen reference to this article on the forum, so would like to post a link to an article that was published by the atlantic on 22 march 2019.. .

https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2019/03/the-secret-jehovahs-witness-database-of-child-molesters/584311/.

only factual matter that i could correct is the number of gb members at the time of the australian royal commission - i'm pretty sure it was 7 at that time..

Any form of the media that exposes the Jehovah`s Witness excuse for a religion is OK by me .

The more people that see and read these accounts the less people that will be sucked into their propaganda..

And i think overall it was a great article .Well presented and not sensationalist.

Kudos to the journalist Douglas Quenqua for writing a well balanced summary of the JW religion .

Has anybody from other parts of the world seen this show ? the USA ? for example .

Isn`t expansion seen as a sign of growth ?

How about selling off a lot of your assets KH`s as a sign of "your in trouble "?

Britain's Sharia Courts Look Strangely Familiar

by Sea Breeze in

.

up to 85 of these sharia law courts operate in britain.

creepy!.

smiddy3

2 guys and a gal deciding a female Muslims fate ,well at least that`s better than 3 guys deciding the fate of a female Jehovah`s Witness fate .

At least they have the semblance of impartiality .

But haven`t the Catholics and the Protestants had their own laws and judgement`s ,consequences etc,apart from the secular law of the land for Centuries ? That they have imposed on society ?

Whole Study Article on Commenting at Meetings

by JW_Rogue in

i guess less people are commenting now.

last week's whole wt study was dedicating to the issue of commenting.

people were literally making comments about how to comment, it was very meta (not that most there would get that), anyway the main reason that wt gave to explain away people's lack of commenting?

smiddy3

You missed out on the middle finger salute .

back to topic ,its a sure way of indoctrination though isn`t it ,read the paragraph ,lead with the loaded question pertaining to the paragraph and accept the answer that`s in the paragraph as correct.
