Anyone seen the movie “Spotlight”? About the Boston Globe’s uncovering scandal in the Catholic Church? Guess what?
Quotes from Trey's story:
“Blye Faust, one of the film’s producers, recently joined the board of The Center for Investigative Reporting, where I am executive board chairman. We’re thrilled to have someone with us who worked for seven years to bring the “Spotlight” story to the screen and so deeply gets the value of the journalism involved.”
“And on Feb. 20, CIR will release a new episode of “Reveal,” our national, weekly investigative public radio show and podcast, that picks up the Catholic Church abuse scandal where the “Spotlight” film ends. “
…. “ for the past year, CIR has been investigating sexual abuse of children in another closed society, the Jehovah’s Witnesses community, and that group’s attempts to silence the story.”
“This splash of sunlight already is helping people who are looking to change dark and corrosive practices. It’s one of many public service and social justice issues we pursue at any given time.”

Two Jehovah's Witnesses congregations abolished by courts - Russia
by OrphanCrow intwo jehovah's witnesses congregations abolished by courts.
today, 11 february 2016, an administrative lawsuit by the prosecutor of belgorod province for finding the local religious organization of jehovah's witnesses in the city of belgorod to be extremist and liquidated was granted by decision of the belgorod provincial court.
yesterday the provincial court issued a decision on the administrative lawsuit of the provincial prosecutor for liquidation of the local religious organizations of jehovah's witnesses in the city of stary oskol.. the above quote is from one of 5 articles at link.. the fourth article, doctors in court: "jehovah's witnesses died after refusing blood transfusions", gives a synopsis of the hearing in the belgorod provincial court on feb 8.. two doctors were summoned into court as witnesses in order to learn whether religious convictions have affected the state of health of jehovist patients and whether they could be the cause of the death of patients.

I like that!
"extremist and not in compliance with the requirements of the federal law "On freedom of conscience and religious associations"
Finally, it takes a Russian government to stand up to JW's and call an extremist an extremist!
The WT has taken away people's freedom of conscience, their families, their lives.... for way too long. Thank you Russia!

Lying.... I am going to go with lying. If the first sin was lying, and Satan got kicked out, & was "the father of the lie" ... Why is lying put up with?
Liars "will be cast into the sea"... So, why is it that GOD allows HIS representatives to lie & it's AOK with him"?
"Do not sit with men of lies." Hasta la vista baby!

Millie210... I think the part they are quoting is this:
Another thing, Abel could trust in God's promises. Adam and Eve told him (Abel) about God's promises when they were expelled from the Garden. Abel could see God's word had come true. Jehovah told Eve her labor pain would increase. (there was no period) Abel could see Jehovah's promise came true when Eve bore children.
I think what Lett was saying is:
Adam and Eve told Abel what God said to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Eve had many children.
Abel saw more and more brothers and sisters born...
He could see his mom cry out in pain....
He was able to witness the fact that what Jehovah said would happen to Eve came true... That Eve would have pain while having children.

Another 'cognitive whammy'.... "overlapping generations" right?
What is in Lett's talk?
They were facing the destruction of the entire Jewish system. Paul wrote to them and this was a period of relative peace. Only four years later the roman armies came and surrounded Jerusalem. That was the signal that Jesus said for the Jews to flee to the mountains. Jesus gave them that warning in 33 CE.
But here they were 28 years later and no Romans. Only four years later it was going to happen.
The GB compare Jesus day to our day. Peter heard Jesus tell about Jerusalem's destruciton, so it means there is an "overlapping", and that means it overlaps only with the GB, and that means it could last?? 120 years? What is reality? How long DID that time period last with Peter and the other apostles? REALLY? THEY did not have "overlapping" anything..
But here they were 28 years later and no Romans. Only four years later it was going to happen.

Cognitive dissonance... JWs are constantly made to accept two conflicting ideas at the same time. This has always bothered me... Same sentence, and two opposing ideas.
(2) Humility - Michael and Gabriel. On many occasions the angels could have given their names. Noah asked the angel what is your name. The good angel never gave his name.
Because of their humility they do not want the honor. They want it to go where it belongs to Jehovah.
That is a good example to us.
Maybe we are the ones that study with someone and they want to honor us. But like the angels we want to direct that glory to Jehovah to whom it belongs. Any time someone wants to praise us we want to give that glory to Jehovah
Wait, he just mentioned Michael and Gabriel??? So, are Michael and Gabriel not "good angels"?
Don’t give names? How about GB members? Their names? Isn't it always announced who they are, and "give a warm welcome to our dear brother from New York, Governing Body member....? Special pioneers who come from other countries to give convention talks are never just "Brother Soandso"....
I remember when I was young people saying "Ohhhh.... there is a governing body member here!" What about kids posing with GB members at Bethel????
I had a friend tell me with glee, "I sat in an actual chair that the wife of GB member "---" sat in!
(Luke 1:18-19) 18 And Zech·a·ri′ah said to the angel: “How am I to be sure of this? For I am aged and my wife is well along in years.” 19 In reply the angel said to him: “I am Ga′bri·el, who stands near before God, and I was sent forth to speak with you and declare the good news of these things to you.
(Daniel 8:16) 16 And I began to hear the voice of an earthling man in the midst of the U′lai, and he proceeded to call out and say: “Ga′bri·el, make that one there understand the thing seen.”
In the WT 2008 Library, Gabriel is mentioned 319 times in the WT, 136 times in books, 72 times in the AW, 34 times in the Insight book, 12 times in brochures and booklets, and 7 times in the Bible.
(Jude 8-9) . . .. 9 But when Mi′cha‧el the archangel had a difference with the Devil . . . (not just Michael.... but "archangel" Michael)
"Don't do it, but do it"
