What's Worse than a Pedophile? A Elder Who Tells Newspapers JWs Hide them?
by BucketShopBill inin jw "practices", is a active pedophile worse than a elder who called the police and exposed a watchtower cover-up?
i wrote how some pedophiles have bought lavish gifts, throw elder parties, and bring out their best worldy gifts to win the hearts of the congregations shepherds.
sadly to report, a large portion of the jw elders are not educated leaving them to rely on the watchtower's written materials to decide what is "right and wrong", instead of using the bible or mankind's laws.. .

Blondie, so true. When have the wt leaders and elders ever been truly concerned about women and children, the pedophile's victims?
Having been in the midst of pedophile activity (from the victim's and family's side), the most noticeable activity has been the elders' extreme lack of caring and lack of love shown to victims and families.
In jw-land, pedophiles have freedom while their victims are not allowed to speak out.
Jw elders should be sickened and ashamed of themselves for supporting these crimes.

I'm still wondering which people literally "kneel, kiss and pray" to rock bands and money.
Idol worship can, and usually does, involve worshipping something by giving it undue reverence and a prominent place in one's life. Certainly the zeal with which the jws are personally promoting the blue box symbol qualifies as a form of idol worship or idolatry.
jws were not even supposed to wear watchtower symbols or Jah-jewelry showing the Tetragrammaton but now there's been a huge flip-flop and this symbol is being promoted like something created by Madison Ave, which it probably is. Jws are NOT preaching the good news of gods kingdom but are promoting a website.
Were Jesus still be in it, he'd be turning in his grave.

Here are a few more excerpts/quotes from the first episode:
When someone is shunned, you don't even take anything out of their hand. They're unclean.
It's the disobedient people who leave the amish church. When we lose obedience, we lose the church. Amen.

Jeannette, if you live in a house the best thing to do is put boric acid all along the foundation of the house and doorways. If you have a basement, treat the windowsills. Be careful that your pets don't ingest it, if you have any. But it works!

They don't really want "evil" ones to return, they want to frighten everyone else not to leave.
In their minds --- spiritual death. Akin to being stoned.

WTS one step closer to "1984" - JW literature rewritten in online versions
by sir82 inlikely everyone here is familar with the novel "1984" - "he who controls the past, controls the future.
he who controls the present, controls the past".. take a look at wol.jw.org, insight book, topic "faithful and discreet slave".. current online wording: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001485.
jesus trained the apostles for the role they would have after pentecost 33 c.e.

I unexpectedly find myself sad that I tossed all the old books....I soooo wish I had them now to use as proof of rewrites. The one above is just one of many.

Religion is nothing more than the biggest power tool man has invented. If men didn't feel the need to be in control of others and wield power over them, we would not have seen organized religion.
People have a natural inclination to appreciate nature and the elements, but when it goes too extremes even that becomes "my sun god is better than yours".
The desire to have inordinate power is the problem, and religion is the easiest way to gain that power.
If there was no religion, it would just be some other power tool.

Said from the platform: "You are not surviving Armaggedon if you are spiritually weak"
by Daniel1555 intoday i was at the meeting (i go there about once a month now).
in the service meeting they had a part where they interviewed the secretary of the congregation.. so one question was: "why are the service reports so important?".
our secretary explained that the reports are important, because the elders can see, who is spiritually weak.

Apog...here's the point:
IF jws are, as they call themselves, "Christians", then they will demonstrate their spirituality by following And Acting Like Jesus the christ.
Jesus never said to turn in reports but to share your joyful stories together. Spirituality is NOT measured by numbers on a report. It is measured by the Love you show for fellow humans.
Remember: this is a cult technique used by a cult to control people. Time reports are not a reflection of spiritual activity---they are a measure of cult activity and show one's obedience to cult doctrine.
It is unkind to beat people who are being abused, why are you defending the cult? Perhaps you should start a different thread on your subject.
