from the shepard the flock book.
"discernment is needed in considering claims.
of rape, taking into consideration such factors as the.
Girl i knew was raped by a jw study. An elder was studying with him but he was only studying to try and get her to date him. He raped her she became pregnant and only reported it to the elders when it became clear she was going to have a baby. Girls do this for a multitude of reasons not reporting i mean, shame , embarrassment, hoping it will just all go away etc. if fact most victims don’t report their rape.
So what did the elders do? They kindly dfd her!

In reality like stated above its 52% empty capacity. When the halls were built they were built for more capacity then current members so yes the numbers are miss leading. But here is the deal we all know a huge percentage of the young ones leave and we also know the number of new ones joining is almost none existent, so with that said there’s no way their growing, no way in years!! Now add to that, that in the coming years a huge percentage of their member will die off and now we know where the cult will be.
i was appointed jan 1 1980 and back then it was a big deal to“qualify”.
i was the youngest elder appointed in the district!
i actually studied everything from the societies publications and listened to anything i was told to do.
The guy that said no brain is right that’s the key. You have to be a mindless drone!
there was a french language congregation this weekend in congo dr which had 44,000 in attendance and something like 730 baptized.
i'm not saying that is good or bad, just reporting the news..
Earnest, the branch that was closed was somewhere like in Zimbabwe not sure exact country.

They could be baptizing 10,000 people a week and it wouldn’t really mean anything because these people don’t have any money to help the Borg. Without money and the support of people with money the cult will die. They know this because even though they are getting great numbers in Southern Africa they closed down their branch in that area just a couple three years ago.
thier latest video they seemed to fix thier number issues and have made it look as though the borg only has about a half a million member now in the us.
also it looks as though the borg is watching because the borg has now made an adjustment on their website concerning their missing kh.

as my wife left for fs this morning (aka gossip and coffee time with her friends) she mentioned to me that one of the parts in the clam meeting this week was:.
to remind the 'faithful' that, "we are involved in a life saving work!".
so i just calmly mentioned to her that if he really wanted to, jehoober could save thousands of lives every day just by controlling the weather or providing just clean water or just a just a few loaves and fishes!.
Their life saving work is pathetic and if the Bible is gods attempt to help , what a joke! If you lived you kids and wanted to save their lives from an impending event would you tell them in code or in some convoluted story? Not me I would get straight to the point!!!!!!
TRUTH!
this article won’t change your mind - the facts on why facts alone can’t fight false beliefs.
brilliant article in the atlantic by julie beck discussing the phenomena of cognitive dissonance and how it affects religious and political beliefs.
it includes some interesting thoughts on how social media has magnified the problem.. spoiler - she is not optimistic about the possibility of successfully reasoning with members of religious cults.. the article also has a link to the 45 minute audio version.. link....
More proof that if there is a god he’s an ass if he’s going to judge then kill people for not doing a thing. This condition shows why people won’t change and it not necessarily their fault, thier brains are wired to fight change of beliefs.
one argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.
'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!
shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?
The whole thing is a joke!! I mean think about it, yes other cultures got circumcisied for possible health issues and maybe religion ie the Egyptians but who the hell else would care? And who goes around looking?
This is a Greek thing, I’m mean think about it the Greeks were all into nudity. The wrestled in the nude, played the Olympic Games in the nude and were so absences with the penis that big ones were thought of as animalistic, that’s why thier art pictures or sculptures always depicted the male with a small penis.
This is just more proof that the Bible was a Greek concoction.
