Nobody at work knows what JWs believe
by Athanasius inrecently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".

Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents
by Simon injudge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

Unfortunately thats only about 1.5 million per year. The watchtower could just ingnore the court for years.

The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"
by Leolaia infinally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.
we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.
apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

The thing I have noticed is the few times the Romans are depicted as crucifying someone it's on a tree not a stake or a cross. The cross in my opinion is nothing more then a symbol . Jesus being nothing more then another savior God. This cross symbol was taken from Egypt just like so many other Christian teachings. Sun God worship.

No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!
by purrpurr init seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!
the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?
there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

They probably thinking they can make the pound valuable again and the EU going to crash anyway destroying Germany . That was probably the plan all along. Germany had to agree to the EU in order to get east Germany back. Now they'll be left holding the welfare bag . Germany needs to run from the EU too asap!

I don't know if your a bible believer or not but destroying the validity of the bible is easier then destroying a JW faith in thier cult. Do this and the faith come tumbling down. But at her age that may do more harm then good and she may later hate you.

I know a baptized JW young person that has complex regional pain syndrome. It's one of the most painful conditions known to mankind. Normal people want to kill them selves when the pain gets to about the lower 30's of the new pain scale that goes up to 50 . These people feel pain as high has 48-50 . These people can loose all thier senses , black out , have sensory overload etc. Think or yourselves being dipped in to acid and that's just one example of the pain they experience. Truly like living in hell, yet where again is jehovah in all this. Gods a prick!

List of "pagan" things JW's allow
by problemaddict 2 inwhat i'm looking for specifically is things that are "pagan" in the sense they predate christianity (or i guess judiasm to cover the ole mosaic code), that jw's allow or do.
the ones that come to mind are below.. rings - rings seem to originate in egypt.
for wedding ceremonies it became a symbol of "ownership" in rome.. pinatas - looks like possibly it originated in china as a part of the new year and a request for luck, and catholics later turned it into a beating of temptation type thing.. anything else?.
