You've heard of, "My country, right or wrong." Well, I think there are Witnesses out there who think, my religion right or wrong down deep in there hearts, pedophiles and all.

Mandatory Reporting Laws in Canada - Child Abuse
by OrphanCrow inthe issue of whether or not the elders have a duty to report is clear cut in canada.
this will make it impossible for the wts to wriggle out of the wrongs that have been exposed in quebec recently.
the elders in those situations have received their instructions from the wts lawyers and they have been advised wrongly.. for several years (can't remember when this was made law...years back), it has been mandatory for everyone in canada to report suspected cases of child abuse, which, naturally, include the sexual abuse of minors.

Very good post. Thank you for your research. I wish, as was Doc said, it was mandatory here in the US as well. But now come to think of it, if they don't readily report in Canada even though there is mandatory reporting, then I would bet the pattern would follow in the US as well.
So much for what Jackson said at the ARC about how it would solve that problem of whether to report or not. Hmm.

Australian Jehovah's Witnesses are ignorant of the Australian Royal Commission
by stuckinarut2 inmany here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.
sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.
those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

After all the news articles through out the last year and the TV coverage, it's still all just lies? Then what about when the media says good things about JW's, then of course it must be the truth?
But you know you are right, they are really brain washed and this is a really good example of it. So much for witnesses saying their eyes are open.

Unbelievable, yet believable because WT is behind it. I have been noticing that they have a phobia against Jesus. JW's just don't like to give much credit to him and Lord knows they will never and I repeat never praise him.

How many times jehovah is said in a prayer
by Normalfulla inso there was this particular elder in my hall who when giving a prayer would say "jehovah" waaaay to much it was ridiculous, we ended up having a count every time he gave prayer, most of the time it was 15-18 but once he topped 20, if u say it out loud 20 times you'll see how weird it is, like when do you ever in a conversation say someone's name that many times in 2 or so minutes,!

Unlike what it really says in the Bible, how we are suppose to be thankful to Jesus, but you'll never heard a JW ever say that in prayer.

More bad news for the Organisation in Australia
by no-zombie init appears the the commonwealth government is bringing in a national compensation scheme for victims of institutional child sexual abuse with individuals able to claim up to $150,000 each.
it's clear that the australian government will not be able to fund this program without serious money from the offending churches.
so it's bad news for the organization today.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-04/government-announces-redress-for-abuse-victims/7996092.

Very nice article. They will leave the doors open on this scheme they said for 10 years. I like this a lot.

JW's and the forgotten Jesus
by LevelThePlayingField inso as i have been waking up more and more over the past 3 years...i keep telling myself i'm fully awake and then i wake up more, but that's a different thread.
but anyway, i've noticed a lot lately that the wt does not mention jesus or christ very much in their literature and neither to jw's in their conversations.
they mainly talk about jehovah.

So as I have been waking up more and more over the past 3 years...I keep telling myself I'm fully awake and then I wake up more, but that's a different thread. But anyway, I've noticed a lot lately that the WT does not mention Jesus or Christ very much in their literature and neither to JW's in their conversations. They mainly talk about Jehovah. And when Jesus or Christ is mentioned, a lot of times it's a quote from the Bible.
So I got to thinking. I wonder just how many titles of videos on JW.org are there with the word "Jesus" or the word "Christ" in it. So I went on line and here's what I found.
66 videos in the Children section and zero on Jesus
54 in Teenagers, zero about Jesus
26 in Family and you guessed it, zero about JC
112 Programs & Events, zero for JC
86 Our Activities, notta for JC once again
44 Our Meeting & Ministry and 2 videos mentioning Jesus. "Why Would Jesus Die" & "Remember Jesus' Death"
78 Our Organization, zip for Jesus Christ
58 The Bible, zero again
8 videos under "Bible Teachings" and one video about Jesus. But it's the same video as above. "Why Did Jesus Die"
38 in the Movies, zero for JC
54 Music, none for JC
116 Interviews & Experiences, nope, still none for JC
And in our new song book:
Songs (3 songs out of 151)
Song#13 Christ Our Model
Song#14 Praising Earth's New King (because they pump up JC heavily)
Song#120 Imitate Christ's Mildness
Obviously, with only 2 videos out of hundreds on jw.org that talk about Jesus and 3 songs out of 151, the JW's don't think much about Jesus.
Your thoughts?

by Crazyguy inthere continues to be more and more rumors of more halls being sold off some even taking the first offer.
the borg trying to get thier bond money back from the court in san diego asap and there's been elders meetings about this consolidation.

Everytime I turn around I hear thing like this. At the annual meeting all they did was release a new song book. And then they announced pretty much strongly at the meeting if you want one to download it. When I go back to the literature counter, well, there really isn't anything there. I asked the lit servant for a Trinity brochure cause I wanted to looked up the misquotes in it and he searched around for it and I noticed that there's hardly any literature in the place.
If you think about, when's the last time you can ever remember the offer of the month being a book? It's been a long time. Like years.

Coming to a Kingdom Hall near you
by FatFreek 2005 inputting it simply, kingdom halls are no longer the property of a local group of the folks that paid for and constructed it.
the lender, the watchtower society, now says that once a mortgage is satisfied, that congregation must then declare a resolution which says it will continue to make payments, usually equal to the amount they were paying on the mortgage.
and they must do so indefinitely.

And unfortunately my friend, you just spoke the truth with what you said just here. That's how it really roles in the Watchtower world, might as well call it the real world cause that's who's in it. Sad but true.
