  One of our elders told us that those at bethell were getting Go Bags for the big A day. So of course we should (at the time) think about doing the same. The discussion went so far as to cover where the best MRE deals could be found, and he was serious.

  Several years ago this was even mentioned at some meetings, as it is no laughing matter to someone who is chemically sensitive. Perfumes, colognes and after shave scents can cause a sufferer to have massive migraines and become nauseous almost instantly.

  The idea that you have to smell like a chemically-created scent is kinda weird anyway, when you stop and think about it.

  I got up yesterday morning (Saturday) and enjoyed the watchtower work

  2. experiences

  reaching the fire watchtower on top of wayah bald overlooking the smokey mountains can be a difficult hike from nantahala lake up the bartram and appalachian trails where they straddle each other passing through this area.

  the most enjoyable watchtower work i've ever participated in.. the views from the tower are spectacular.. .

  looking across nantahala forest to the smoky mountains, described poetically as the most elevated peak; from whence i beheld with rapture and astonishment, a sublimely awful scene of power and magnificence, a world of mountains piled upon mountains.

  LIARS!

  A Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesman issued a statement to the Mail stating Richard Davenport was never a Jehovah’s Witness and denying any suggestion of a cover up over the abuse. UH, RICHARD WAS AN UNBAPTIZED TEEN AND EVEN THOUGH HIS DADDY BECAME AN ELDER AND THE FAMILY WAS WELL-KNOWN TO BE JW, AND LOUISE, WELL YES SHE DID TELL US ABOUT IT BUT WE DENY AUTHORITY/KNOWLEDGE/RESPONSIBILITY. BESIDES, WE GAVE HER SOME MAGAZINES.
  

  It stated: “Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse, a crime that sadly occurs in all sectors of society. The safety of our children is of the utmost importance. REALLY WE DON'T CARE BUT WE DO SAY THAT WE ABHOR IT WHEN OTHER RELIGIONS GET CAUGHT SO WE CAN TELL EVERYONE HOW EVIL THEY ARE, AND SO WE MUST BE G*D'S ORGANIZATION AND YOU MUST OBEY US.
  

  “For decades, our journals The Watchtower and Awake!, as well as our website jw.org, have featured articles for both Jehovah’s Witnesses and the general public on how to protect children from abuse. WE PRINTED A FEW ARTICLES TO COVER OUR A$$E$ BY CLAIMING THAT WE CARE, BUT ACTUALLY WE ONLY CARE ABOUT PUBLICITY THAT SHOWS THAT WE DON'T CARE AT ALL AND WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP UP THE APPEARANCE TO OUR MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL LINK TO G*D.
  

  “Jehovah’s Witnesses do not separate children from their parents. We do not have any programmes, such as Sunday Schools, youth groups, or day care centres, in which we take custody of children from their parents. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES SEPARATE CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS EVERY TIME A CHILD OF ANY AGE CHOOSES TO DISAGREE WITH THE RIDICULOUS TEACHINGS OF THE WTS, IT'S CALLED SHUNNING AND IT'S ALIVE AND WELL IN EVERY CONGREGATION.
  

  “We believe that loving and protective parents are the best deterrent to child abuse. Thus, we continue to educate parents and provide them with valuable tools to help them educate and protect their children. YES, WE KNEW ABOUT THE ABUSE BUT REALLY IT'S THE PARENTS' FAULT, SEE, WE GAVE THEM MAGAZINES THAT SAID UH...SOMETHING...SOMETHING...BLAH...BLAH...BLAH...
  

  “We have no paid clergy. Congregation elders comply with child-abuse reporting laws. They provide abuse victims and their families with spiritual comfort from the Bible. WE ARE NOT REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE ELDERS AS WE DON'T PAY THEM (SEE, WE KEEP ALL THE FUNDS FOR OURSELVES). AND IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC LAWS THAT FORCE US TO REPORT, WELL THEN YES, WE'LL TELL THEM TO DO THAT BUT ONLY IF WE ARE FORCED TO DO IT. (DAMN LAWS.)
  

  “The victim and his or her parents have the absolute right to report the matter to the governmental authorities. BUT WE KNOW MOST OF THEM WON'T BECAUSE WE'VE CONVINCED THEM THAT WILL MAKE G*D SAD AND MAKE HIM LOOK BAD. AND OH, YES, THEY WILL LOSE ALL THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY BECAUSE WE WILL SHUN THEM FOR MAKING G*D SAD.
  

  “Congregation elders do not shield abusers from the authorities or from the consequences of their actions. WE ONLY DEMAND THAT THE VICTIMS NOT TELL ANYONE ELSE, BECAUSE THEN MEMBERS WOULD START TO REALIZE WE ARE JUST AS BAD AS ALL OTHER RELIGIONS, AND WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW THAT WE ALLOW CHILD RAPISTS TO SIT AMONG THEM AT MEETINGS AND TAKE THEIR LITTLE KIDS OUT IN SERVICE IN A CAR GROUP WITHOUT THE PARENTS. BUT WE DON'T USE SHIELDS, THOSE ARE ONLY FOR THE DRAMAS WE USED TO DO. (YES, PUT THAT IN THERE TO DISTRACT THEM. TELL THEM ABOUT OUR BIBBLE DRAMAS.)
  

  “Anyone who commits the sin of child abuse faces expulsion from the congregation. If such a person is serving in a position of responsibility, he is removed. SEE, IF WE CALL IT SIN THEN WE CAN TELL OUR MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE JURISDICTION AND IT'S A RELIGIOUS THING, NOT A POLICE THING. AND CHILD RAPISTS MAY BE SANCTIONED IN SOME WAY BUT WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE NOT "EXPELLED" OR "REMOVED", WHY THEY MIGHT BE SITTING NEXT TO YOUR LITTLE SUSIE OR STEVIE AT THE MEETING RIGHT NOW.
  

  “Any suggestion that Jehovah’s Witnesses cover up child abuse is absolutely false. We are committed to doing all we can to prevent child abuse and to provide spiritual comfort to any who have suffered from this terrible sin and crime.” OH, LOOK, WE USED THE WORD "CRIME" SO YOU CAN'T SAY WE DON'T RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS. WE WON'T LIFE A FINGER TO COMFORT CHILD VICTIMS OR THEIR FAMILIES, THOUGH, JUST SMILE AND WAVE, BOYS, SMILE AND WAVE. (IT TRULY IS AMAZING THAT PEOPLE BUY INTO OUR BULL$SHIT, ISN'T IT?)

  Deaf Aotearoa flooded with complaints about Jehovah's Witness church

  deaf aotearoa flooded with complaints about jehovah's witness churchkashka tunstalllast updated 15:22, october 6 2015deaf aotearoa has asked the jehovah's witness church to respond to claims of a deaf information database.new zealand's deaf community is fed up with unsolicited house calls, claiming the jehovah's witness church is targeting deaf households.deaf aotearoa has received multiple complaints from around the country and says church members visited certain homes because they were aware a deaf person lived there.

  the organisation released a statement on monday, saying it was looking into the possibility the church holds a database listing the details of members of the deaf community.jehovah witness spokesman rod spinks said there was no such database and deaf people were not being targeted.the deaf aotearoa statement was posted on the group's facebook page, and received a flood of comments from frustrated people.one woman said a group of jehovah's witnesses had come to her house and asked "for the deaf person who lives here.

  " she said they refused to explain how they had her details and didn't visit her neighbours.another said church members had turned up at her work and asked for her by name.hamilton man royce flynn said he had been visited six times over the last nine months, despite repeatedly saying he was uninterested in the house calls.he said the church members were always able to sign and also brought deaf people along, which lead him to believe he was being singled out.flynn said contacted local police, who told him it was a privacy issue and referred him on to the office of the privacy commissioner.he said he had been been in contact with local labour member of parliament sue moroney.deaf aotearoa acting chief executive jill dean said complaints about the church were a recurring issue.

  Saying that the deaf are not targeted? More bold-faced LIES. How do these guys sleep at night?

  Hmmm. I think it's quite sporting, actually. Would probably be the most action those cart attendants ever get!
