  an older man and wife - ray and mary - got chatting to me today.

  they were tourists admiring local wildlife.

  i gave them a few tips on where to go to see some interesting things and it wasn't long before they were telling me about how awful the world is "nowadays" and paradise yadda yadda.

  ... the situation was as bad in every country where there was no mandatory reporting ...
  

  Fact Check: As Justice McLellan schooled the WTBTS reps, several states in Australia DID have mandatory reporting laws in place during the last 65 years, and STILL not one of those 1,006 known abusers were reported to the secular authorities. Not one.

  The scope of this failure to do what is right is epic beyond description.

  As one journalist covering the case reported--and I'm paraphrasing--the WTBTS has the worst record of dealing with pedophiles among their ranks of any religion.

  I believe she described their approach to victims of sexual abuse as "medieval."

  I told him that we are living in the greatest time in all of human history. He literally laughed out loud. Then Mary did too.

  The average JW is an ignorant fool
  

  So I asked him to tell me which decade in all of history he would prefer to be born in. He was stuck so he changed the subject. I asked the question again. Repeat cycle 4 times. He admitted he has no idea about history.

  the GB are only humans and they make mistakes

  Yeah, you can say the same thing about the Pope and all the Bishops in the Catholic Church.

  Message to all JWs everywhere: Get the fuckin' clue! You're in a man-made religion just like all the others. Maybe better than some, but definitely worse than most.

  He claims their "actions" do not match the written instructions. But of course he cannot prove they DO what he says the DO.

  Q: Is there any reason to believe they do anything other than what the written instructions direct?

  A: NO

  Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)

  this happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.

  they say that this is direction from the "branch office".

  i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

  Curiously, the expansion and building always seems to be going on somewhere else!

  Why could that be?

  OK, everyone, let's review ....

  So the one that's going to heaven to judge everyone gets judged by those that he's going to judge later.

  No wonder this religion is so fucked up and everyone is so judgmental!
