2015 November 20, BOE!

2015, november 20, boe.

.. re: magazine issue dates (see attachment).

This letter to all BOE makes it apparent to me that these guys in New York clearly do not have enough to do. Please place the magazines with corresponding issues according to their numbers of the month basically. It just amazes me that they will send out a letter to every single elder in the U.S for such a detail as this, petty really, but not lift a finger to help be proactive or even reactive in during the Australian Royal Commission. I remember 90% of all of the ones questioned by the Commission said they didn't do their homework in preparing it, including listening or reading the testimony of the victims. But hell yeah, we'll send out letters of this nature!

ATT: WARNING

by EJ257 in

please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

LevelThePlayingField

EJ257, Welcome to this board. Oh, don't worry, you haven't worried the least of us. 95% of us here have heard this till the cows have come home many times over. You sound like a 1967 Awake magazine. I do agree with one of the things you said. There are hot spots that's for sure, no one will disagree with you on that. And hot spots will come and go. And I think that's the whole point. If you were dong this for longer than 5 years you would have seen that. I've been seeing this for 40 years.

But this site is open to anyone. And your opinions count as well. And again welcome. And please share more.

450,000 UK child abuse cases in 2yrs

by GodZoo in

my lawd... filthy britain.. as many as 450,000 children are thought to have been abused in england in the two years up to march 2014, according to a major new report.. some 50,000 cases of sexual abuse were recorded by police and local authorities during this period, but the office of the childrens commissioner (occ) believes this is a major underestimate.. a study by the occ found that around 85 percent of sexually abused young people are not receiving help and treatment.https://www.rt.com/uk/323321-child-abuse-rise-family/.

No doubt some of the are from JW homes. Some of them will have the courage to speak up.

Singapore slashes publication bans, but not for Jehovah's Witnesses

Strait-laced Singapore has slashed the number of publications it bans to 17 from a previous 257, allowing some communist and adult topics, but kept a prohibition on Jehovah's Witnesses publications.

Newly permitted books include "Fanny Hill", a British novel published in 1748 said to be the first erotic novel in English, and "The Long March", a Chinese communist history.

A number of the de-gazetted publications were out of print or were permissible under today's content standards, the Media Development Authority said in an emailed statement explaining the changes.

Adult magazines such as Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler remain banned, as are publications by the Jehovah's Witnesses Church produced by its Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society and the International Bible Students Association.

The church's publications sit in the banned list alongside "hardcore pornographic publications" that "depict female models in sexually suggestive poses and their genitals", the government agency said.

Singapore deregistered the Jehovah’s Witnesses and banned its publications in 1972 because the church objects to serving National Service in the military or singing national anthems.

By Their Own Words

by OneFingerSalute in

the internet is a great tool as we all know.

i found this quote from the early book millions now living will never die to be very interesting as it seems to be the exact opposite of what jdubya's practice.

just another example of the double-speak they engage in.

LevelThePlayingField

Well, well. Isn't that a truth of all truths. "Error doesn't like to be investigated".

Now who do we know doesn't like to be investigated? Maybe the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.? Yeah, maybe them. All all the other incorporations that they go under. And maybe we should just bring this right down to the local level why don't we while we're at it shall we? Yes, I think that we should. Yes, let's see. Who else doesn't like questions? Maybe the local body of elders? Yes, that's an affirmative.

Maybe OUTLAW could have some fun with this topic.

I remember about 10 years ago doing Google searches on Jehovah's Witnesses and all you would ever get is obituaries and conventions times, that's it. And now... oh boy, now, you get the whole thing. Pedo cases, law suits, the truth. The WT has no where to run and hide any more. Thanks to good 'ole Google.

Something nice, non-jw

by FadeToBlack in

i was out with my 4 dogs last night around 10:30 under a bright moon.

it was frosty (-4 c).

i heard some noise in the field behind my house (my backyard is a national forest).

LevelThePlayingField

Thanks for sharing. I was waiting for the..."and the two JW's showed up" part, but there was none, and you know what, that was kinda nice. I pictured your scene, the two moose and all. Thanks man.

Charitable Planning to Benefit Kingdom Service Worldwide (cp-E)

by wifibandit in

.

i've re-scanned this publication.

pdf here.. the older pdf that was online was of poor quality..

LevelThePlayingField

Thanks wifibandit for opening my eyes even more because after I scanned thru this 32 page brochure it dawned on me... they labored on with this, yes labor on with 32 pages of information on how to give them money. But when it comes to how to help victims of child abuse, the elders get one, yes ONE paragraph in the Shepherding book on how to help them.

So, thank you again wifibandit. This site has always helped me with TTATT. Always helped me to see that Jehovah's Witnesses do not have the true religion after all. Jesus said, the truth shall set you free. And free I am.
