  Abuse Problem Greater with the JW's?

  by Kismet in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am interested in hearing comments from you regarding whether you feel the child abuse problem is greater within the jw 'religion' moreso than other religions or identifiable groups.. i know some have made the comment that it is and others say there is no difference.

  on what do you basis your belief either way.

  is it strictly that the environment is conducive to pedophiles co-existing with the cong or based on empirical data?.

  Should I continue to support Bill Bowen?

  by Gamaliel in

  to whom it may concern, .

  i have contributed financially to the cause of silentlambs.org and have, to a smaller extent, even promoted the website.

  it is difficult enough to fathom the depth of hurt heaped on humankind, but impossible for me to understand how such suffering can be compounded with injustice, as i read experiences on silentlambs.org.

  1975 recording "Stay Alive 'til '75"

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this real audio recording of a district overseer in 1968 is one of the most disturbing things i came accross in my surfing.

  it perfectly demonstrates the misleading nature of the "we never said 1975" statement.

  while perhaps technically true, see if this talk doesn't make any loyal jw rethink what was really said about 1975.. download real audio if you don't already have it to listen to this talk.

  Precisely when in 1914 did the GT end???

  by JCole in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been asking this question since studying the babylon the great book back in the '60s.

  maybe i'm thickskulled, but simply restating that it ended in october or tishri doesn't explain away my reasons for asking the question.

  i'm only looking for answers about the date in 1914, and i'm not looking for the typical apostate replies that the year is wrong.. i question october/tishri being the end of the gentile times, and thus the start of jesus' reign, for the following reasons:.
