so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.
this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.
so today the gloves came off.
Flipper, next time you do this, when it gets to the point they accuse you or the news release of being "apostate," ask them, "What does that mean?"
When they tell you, then you can say, "But this can't be 'apostate.' The journalists, attorneys and judges involved were never JWs!"

What DING said!
great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.
if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?
if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.
Interesting thought ...
i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.
even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.
a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.
All of us non-DF'd "apostates" should show up and partake just to drive them crazy!
Nah, just kidding!

i brought this up in a conversation after today's meeting.
the elder knowingly acknowledged the growing number and pointed out that of course, now we understand why this is so.
i gave my best blank stare and said "we do?
stillin: does anybody here have a clue what he was talking about?
Of course not, and neither does that elder.
He tried to use a nonsensical teaching to explain a discordant fact that flatly contradicts decades of JW "Old Light."
i am not sure if anyone else here heard this phrase.
i did from a circuit overseer when i was a servant many moons ago.
with my newly enlightened mind i finally understand what this means.
Brother so and so won't do what I/we tell him to do!
there's this elder in my hall.
in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.
he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.
He learned it from the GB members, probably fancies himself a kindred spirit. I mean, who wouldn't want to be like Ol' Rubberface, Stephen Lett!
...i mean scriptures.. .
wow, how did i miss this.. open up you examining the scriptures daily ( "daily text" ).
the booklet is about 80% watchtower comments.
Kairos: I'm convinced that witnesses do not understand the definition of evidence.
Sure they do.
It's when someone on the GB introduces a new doctrine with the word: evidently.
"He [Jesus] evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation." Watchtower 2010 April 15 p.10
"John Barr ... twice read the comment: "Jesus evidently meant that the lives of the anointed ones who were on hand when the sign began to be evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of the other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation." We do not know the exact length of "this generation," but it includes these two groups whose lives overlap. Even though the anointed vary in age, those in the two groups constituting the generation are contemporaries during the part of the last days. How comforting it is to know that the younger anointed contemporaries of those older anointed ones who discerned the sign when it became evident beginning in 1914 will not die off before the great tribulation starts!" Watchtower 2010 June 15 p.5
i am working on a writing project.
just give me your opinion on this subject.
if you worked for your respective government and you were tasked with doomsday preparations, what would you decide to save for future generations?
