All the more reason zeb that law enforcement agencies / Governments should take more seriously that hiding offences of child sexual abuse in the guise of religion should not be tolerated and those that do should be prosecuted .

Idiotic Comment
by FedUpJW ini was just enjoying a you tube video clip of george carlin explaining euphemisms.
one of the ones he commented about is how people try to soften the fact someone is dead by saying, "they passed away.
" noo...they died!.

One thing we all have to use a euphemism for is the room we go to "ease nature" ( a NWT euphemism), there simply is no proper word for it ! The American "Bathroom" or "Restroom"
Down under in OZ I think we are a bit more to the point as in the Thunder Box or more plainly just the Shit House or more refined people might have called it the Out-house .

Preparing the sheeple for finally abandoning the significance of 1914
by under the radar inwe all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.
what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.
“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.

The justice minister also insists that elders within the Jehovah's Witnesses movement should report criminal acts. There are claims that the names of child abuse suspects are kept in a blue envelope that hasn't been shown to the justice department. Moreover, there are worries that child abusers have been tried by internal courts and that offences have been kept from the wider public. Mr Geens notes that negligence is a punishable act.
I`m sure we would all like to be kept informed of any future developments .
thanks for posting Zing
Belgian justice minister Koen Geens (Flemish Christian democrat) wants Jehovah’s Witnesses wishing to leave the organisation to receive help from the sects’ watchdog. The minister was speaking after VRT's Pano programme revealed widespread sexual abuse of children among the Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation.

Wiki On Watchtower's Unfullfilled Predictions
by Brokeback Watchtower inhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watch_tower_society_unfulfilled_predictions.
background[edit].
since its formation in the 1870s, the watch tower bible and tract society has claimed that god has chosen the organization from among the churches to fill a special role in the consummation of prophetic history.

Maybe if all of the men retained their beards Jehovah wouldn`t have abandoned them ,after all with the O.T. men it was a requirement to have a beard and it was never rescinded in the N.T. as they all had beards also.
( I`m not sure about the women ) but we wont go their.
C.T.Russell had a beard so he might have started off on the right foot appearance wise however he did have some wacky beliefs which Jesus in his right mind could never have condoned .
So that may explain Watchtowers unfulfilled predictions .

I remember vaguely about a construction of a JW HQ in the USA going back to either the 1960`s or 70`s when it was a query why such lavish furnishings were installed into this building ,and all I can recall was this grand staircase and I think Gold furnishings in the bathrooms etc.
And the Governing Body response was something like " Well look at what Christendom does for there false gods so what more should we do to honour the true God Jehovah "
I think there was a brochure about it at the time .maybe someone can remember it .
And it or they are a vast contrast to what KH`s looked like .

How about he or she is with the Angels now.
Or your dog or cat is in pet heaven now.
Or the kids fav .aunt or uncle who they finally twigged has died years earlier and are then told the newly deceased is with Aunt peggy or Uncle frank now .
However quite honestly I can`t see anything wrong with that ,its just another way of expressing the reality of whats happened ?
I`m talking from the point of believers in general here, I would never say Heaven ,Hell or Angels .myself.
I`m more straight forward .
I would probably say : the bastard or bitch is dead ,live with it and get on with your life.

jehovah will be turning in his grave.
Jehovah is Resting in Peace ! (Since Creation)
Those comments made me laugh.The rank & file JW`s are hauled over the coals if they have any dealings work- wise as your business or trade or even on a social level such as attending a wedding or funeral in a church of Christendoms.
Yet the Governing Body / Elders of JW`s have no trouble at all in selling off WT / KH `s property for $$$$$ to any of Christendoms Churches with no consequences for doing so.
Their stink of hypocrisy must reach to the high heavens or maybe even the depth of Hades .
