pull it up on jw.org...that is what it says.
Which culture/countries are the WBT$ referring to?

"reports from various countries..." is all you're going to get from WT, Punkie. Just trust the GB...they would never lie, misquote, take out of context, cherry-pick, fabricate, embellish or otherwise mishandle the facts.

WT comments like these reveal how pathetic WT "training" is. With all the posturing JWs do- claiming to be the most spiritual, most moral, and having the greatest integrity to god, it takes so little to turn a JW to the 'wrong' course.
WT, in it's attempt to address problems that don't even exist and send up an alarm to be dramatic, what they are really revealing is that the foundation of a JWs "faith" is laughably fragile at best. WT doesn't even believe in JWs.
"on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, then president of the watch tower bible and tract society, boldly announced: the gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day.
how true his words proved to be!

I'm celebrating invisibly...
i have stumbled on a few youtube channels that are so funny and so thought provoking!.
one is a series by 'darkmatter 2525'.
the other is by ebolaworld called 'messed up bible stories'.
I discovered these a couple years ago. Very funny and all too true.
i now believe the bible is a book of history and myths.
the org and others still point to certain prophecys that lead them to believe, that god must have been involved.
how can we explain some of these?
Hey themaccauk/SCO/whatever other usernames you fly under right now....
Please invest in SpellCheck.
sunday's lesson is a doosy, it's very good advice for all jws with professional skills and abilities to avoid offering up their time for any period over a week, lest they might get lured in to a sexual relationship with another man, woman or animal or perhaps incest?.
why does the watchtower have problems with jws who have jobs that require long stays and travel?
keeps them off welfare and provides for their familes, they are control freaks!.
@SLO TS: Brother Wilson said he made a bad mistake by stopping at a Worldy Bar
As opposed to a WT Bar?
@ SLO TS:The Elders scheme to get him off without telling his wife
If he had elders willing to "get him off", why did he need to hire a hooker?
the society has improved their game.
i just got home from the regional assembly.
it was a well-choreographed, technically excellent affair.
He convinced me more than any other single person that this could not possibly be God's Visible Organization

Yeah, if it weren't for the intellectual soberness of Anthony "Human Hot Dog" Morris Cubed, and the maturity he brings to the GB, I might have doubts too...
jehovah's witness elder denies cover-up at church over 'massaging half-naked schoolgirls'jun 20, 2014 12:53by ciaran jonesdevoted churchgoer mark sewell rejected suggestions his seniority in the barry congregation meant allegations of child abuse would be "swept under the carpet".
mark sewella former jehovah's witness elder today denied massaging half-naked schoolgirls because he knew his church would "cover up" the allegations due to his position.. devoted churchgoer mark sewell rejected suggestions his seniority in the barry congregation meant allegations of child abuse would be "swept under the carpet".. the businessman, 53, denies 10 historic sex charges against girls and women in a period spanning more than eight years.. during cross-examination by prosecutor sarah waters it was put to the defendant that he "took the risk" of massaging topless schoolgirls because he believed his standing in the church would spare him from allegations of wrongdoing.. ms waters said: "what i'm suggesting, mr sewell, is that it was a cover-up and no-one was allowed to talk about it.".
greying sewell, wearing a navy suit over white shirt and patterned blue and yellow tie, told merthyr crown court: "not at all, no.".
@ Oubliette: Wait, I thought he just denied it! How could that the parents "always knew" and not "mind it being done" if it never happened?
.
I guess what he meant was, he denies the charges, but if he had massaged the girls, and if they were half-naked while being massaged, the parents would've been okay with it.
You see, he's so used to elders getting away with this kind of idiocy in the cong. without so much as an eyevrow being raised, he has no clue not everyone is as gullible as Jehovah's Witnesses.

these brothers must have developed the "gay habit" with bethel brothers, and their wives must have developed the "gay habit" with single pioneer sisters.
.
It's amazing they could even find the time to be gay, considering all the pedophilia and incest they're also committing. I guess time management is the key.
Since being gay is a "habit" (like smoking), isn't there like a patch they can wear....
heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.
they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.
the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!
Not much has changed since 1976:
*** yy chap. 5 p. 39 par. 10 Masturbation and Homosexuality ***
"Contrary to what many persons think, homosexuals are not born that way, but their homosexual behavior is learned."

LOL.
@ skeeter: "now gay is just a habit like eating too many Twinkies". Is that a pun?
.
Yes, and hiring prostitutes is just a habit like eating too many Ho Ho's.
