I really don't see how the Watchtower can even say that they are protected under the clergy penitent privilege when in all their publications they say they DO NOT have a clergy class, and if a person made the mistake of saying clergy, regarding the elders, someone would quickly correct them about it.

Clergy Penitent Privilege
by lastmanstanding inthis privilege is not biblical.. neither is it supported is any jw teaching or publication.. the catholic church invented it, and its primary use is.... drum roll please.... to grant absolution.. do jehovah’s witness elders, who seek the same invented privilege, also grant absolution?.
if a jw elder hears “a sacred confession” then he must also grant absolution, absolving the sinner of his crimes.... er... sin..

When I was in high school, Algebra was semi required class; if a student brought a signed paper from a parent they wouldn't have to take the class. My parents didn't see the need for it and thought it was a waste of time. The only thing my dad ever said about Algebra was, "Pie are not square, pie are round." That was in my freshman year in school. Then when I was a junior, I wanted to take a computer programming class but missed out on it because I would have to first take two years of Algebra.
After I graduated I attempted to learn it, but it made absolutely no sense to me. Then when my youngest son had learned it, he attempted to show me the very beginner's part of it, but still, again it is completely foreign to me. Do I feel like I missed out on knowing this? I would say yes, I missed out on a whole lot of possibilities. I'm just happy that at least that my sons both understand this subject, and it is easy for them to understand. At least they they won't be missing out.

What’s Your Opinion of Adam Schiff?
by minimus ini’ve heard some people praise him for his zeal against president trump.
others have not been so praiseworthy toward the california congressman.. today he was so concerned that trump might be so emboldened now that he has won acquittal, that he suggests that trump might make a deal with russia and sell them the state of alaska.
😐.

My take on this person is that he is someone who can NOT be trusted with the words coming out of his mouth.

How Can Football (Soccer) Teams Allow Their Players to Participate in "Friendlies?"
by RubaDub ini could never understand how the best football (soccer) players are allowed to participate in these things called friendlies.
aren't the teams and owners afraid of losing their investments of 10's of millions of dollars (euros) to injury?
and it appears that teams just make up their own schedules.. in american football, there is no possible way a team would allow an extra game.

A long time ago I asked a similar question on why. I can't recall who told me this, but they said why this was done was because a very long time ago things would escalate between the teams, and the players would get into some pretty brutal fights. What this did was to shake things up a bit, and bring players of different teams together to play on the same team, to become a new team.

Maybe the end is near. When I say the end is near, methinks the Watchtower is talking about themselves. ;)

What I have said to JWs in the past, "Good riddance to bad rubbish, I'm glad that people don't associate me with such an awful organization." Now I can also add a bit about protectors of pedos to that phrase.

@stillin Yes I was a bit late, but to give credit it's due, on the day of my birth I didn't make my grand entrance into the world until 4:30 pm.
I actually had a pretty good birthday. We ended up doing our taxes and got a small refund.
