for those who haven't come across furuli before , he is a 77 year old norwegian professor and is ( or was ) one of the few "scholarly" jws used by the society and used as a source on various matters ( especially 607 bce ).. however recently he has fallen out with the gb and has published an interesting book - like many recent scholarly apologists , he seems to be going down the road of disagreeing with the authority of the gb but still holding that the jws is the one true religion.

kind of "lions led by donkeys".

whether this view will continue is anyones guess.

According to Jonas (aka Goatlike Personality) Rolf has been disfellowshipped for apostasy. Oh, no! Lol

Another shocking JW Abuse case, with Legal Commentary

by Phizzy in

"16 april 2020 | comment | article by alan collins.

jehovah’s witness elder sentenced to nine years in prison for sexual abuse.

jehovah’s witness elder, clifford whiteley, has been sentenced to nine years in prison at the birmingham crown court for sexual abuse offences he committed against a child member of the congregation over ten years ago.. mr whiteley initially denied the offences to the police, despite the fact that he had admitted his guilt during an internal investigation of the jehovah’s witnesses.. during court proceedings, mr whiteley’s defence counsel, sharon bailey, stated that the jehovah’s witnesses refused to disclose the details of his confession to the police.

Cofty, you are right, changes will only be made if individual elders are sentenced to prison. Soon, no one will want to be an elder only to be thrown under the bus by the “organization.” This cult will then truly be done. 🙏

as delmar said in oh brother where art thou "not the livestock!".

8,500,000,00 on the planet and 8,500,000 jehovah;s witnesses.

My moms answer (as a JW) would be “Narrow is the road that leads to salvation..”.

Seattle "autonomous zone"

by mikeflood in

it's wrong that thing in seattle where protesters established an ' autonomous zone ' .

police shouldn't have police - free zones.. the left is taking some risks here....russian revolution implemented more than a hundred years ago the so called soviets or "councils of workmen's and soldier's deputies".

what are they gonna do when 'autonomous zones ' pop elsewhere?.

Biahi

I’m a leftist, but this is wrong, support good police doing their jobs. In addition, my United States needs national health care for all citizens.

CO'S "encouraging" letter to circuit

by nowwhat? in

the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.

disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.

he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.

God, I hated door to door.

JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California

by NikL in

jw
friends

so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.

50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".

unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

Biahi

This was on reddit, the federal government has a program to get food from farmers direct to people, some of which would have gone to schools, etc, which are closed now. Witnesses picked up on it, and are obtaining it, and delivering it only to JWs, telling them it’s a gift from “Jehovah “.

Beards in the WT: Africa too

by neat blue dog in

as many know, african languages have for decades been given their own alternate cover with black people.

their cover for the 2020 wt#3 also includes a bearded man.

this can not be a coincidence.

Biahi

I never knew that African watchtowers had different covers. Learn something new every day, I guess. Yes, it seems like they may be getting “new light” on beards. What a joke.
