  has anyone ever seen a statement in one the wts publications saying that a limited nuclear exchange could start the great tribulation?

  i seem to remember that from my childhood days at the book study.

  raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near

  Wasn't Deliverance about some dubba dub hillbillies and their desire for forced sex acts?....

  JWs Kids Need Their Own Rumspringa

  by Valis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i didn't see the show on hbo, but i read an article in the newspaper about the mormon custom of rumspringa.

  basically its a period before amish youth/teens devote themselves to the religion.

  apparently some return because they can't live without the support mechanism they have always lived around, some end up going to college, and some go totally crazy...it was funny..the pic in the paper showed a group of young amish women gettin tore up from the floor up...another amish youth was shown smoking a cig...and the elders apparently approve of this behavior before they commit to the ultra boring life of the average amish dolt.

  NEW JW POLICY POSTED!!!

  by amac in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i don't know if anyone has posted on this already but there is a new press release at http://www.jw-media.org/releases/default.htm?content=bg_molestation.htm that defines the current jw policy and i believe it has taken a step in the right direction!.

  although they have not literally changed it to require reporting to the authorities in all states, they have finally put into print the following: "additionally, the victim may wish to report the matter to the authorities, and it is his or her absolute right to do so.".

  i am glad to see, straight from the wt, acknowledgement that the adults involved have every right to go to the police.

  amac, lets assume the elders don't go to the cops, the pedophile repents and doesn't get kicked...do the elders report to the congo that they have a pedophile in their midst? HELL NO! How would you like to be the parent of JW kids and realize that your children may come into contact with such a sicko three times a week or more? The conversation shouldn't be just about contacting the law or even that the dubs make insignificant press releases. After leaving my grandmother and the entire family destitute, the pedophile/abuser/wife beater moved around to different congos, started several new families and abused them too, AND held positions of responsibility. You see its saying one thing and doing nothing that is the real issue. JWs have no centralized means of keeping track of the shitheels that molest children/abuse women and are allowed to stay in. Why? Because in order to do that the WT would have to admit there was a serious problem and take real action to safeguard the entire flock.

One wonders what would happen if the JWs did the same thing......there wouldn't be anyone left!!! *L*

  many people in these forums claim they are uninterested in rumors.

  a claim that can easily become hypocritical.

  nevertheless, these people demand strictly the facts!

  FACT: That corn dog could have bumped his old thread instead of creating a new one just to get someone else to bump it for him...

  Sorry Fark...maybe one other relevant fact? Please?

  Uh the term "right to go to the authorities" is ambiguous at best. It is also every brother and sister's 'right" to get disfellowshipped, chastised, looked down upon, disassociated, slandered, gossiped about, etc...they left that part out.

  to all those who watched the dateline episode regarding the handling of child molestation incidents by the jehovahs witnesses:.

  your television is now demonized as it received signals from satan himself.

  you must get rid of it immediately.

  Else, can you get my Subaru to call out jehovahs name over and over again? It isn't going to pass the new inspection and tends to act up. If it isn't the 100,000+ ,miles it must be demonic influence.I tried praying over it.."OHGOD! PLEASE JUST LET ME MAKE IT HOME ON THREE TIRES!!!"....I've tried reasoning from the scriptures, it never answers me, except the leaking....its very contrarian..I turn on the AC and all I get is hot, I turn on the heat and the vent opens to the cold 70 mph wind...You may be my only hope Elsewhere of the Obiwan Kanobi class...
