Child Abuse must be getting out of hand if they're addressing it...
by thedepressedsoul ini'm referring to the video that was uploaded where they finally mentioned the child abuse issue.
we all kinda guessed that if they ever addressed it they'd blame it on the media and apostates.
well, looks like we were spot on.

Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video
by Richard_I ini just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

Well I wonder why Losche didn't want to testify to these lies in court. I think that would of been far more appropriate. -

I can't really understand why Wt had to play dumb ass with Katie kitten and not hand over their child safeguarding policies. I think if anything they could of benefited by being able to prove that they were been proactive in the matter and also handling it in an open and transparent way. -

A coming out story to my mother.
by JennyBoo inso i actually came out to my mother a few days ago.

Bali Nine
by smiddy intheir are two australian guys scheduled for execution in indonesia in the very near future for drug smuggling , they were the ring leaders of seven others involved.this happened a number of years ago when the australian authourities notified their indonesian counterparts that drugs were to be smuggled out of indonesia into australia by australian citizens .. some argue , why didn` t the australian authourities simply arrest these people on arrival in australia where no capital punishment is on the agenda .. by all accounts they have now been on death row for many years and have turned their lives around , being role models to other prisoners and changing their lives .. i personally have mixed feelings about all this and would like your input .. should these two be executed ?.
should they spend the rest of their life in an indonesian jail .
should they be given an alternative sentence .?.

I have visited Bali and drugs are pretty much freely available (well at least the lower end). On saying that however I like to think of cause and effect. It's very well known the position on drugs in Indonesia, and they took the risk fully knowing this. If you think of the thief who was hanging on the stake (sorry for my JWism. I can't help it) next to Jesus. Sure he to was sorry for what he had done and wanted to turn his life around that's why he asked Jesus to remember him in paradise. But this didn't elevate him from responsibility. He was found guilty under Roman law of a crime and death was the punishment. -

If the goal,is not to appear as a stark raving mad apostate. I would Suggest drawing parallels between the 2 above news articles and the video he asked you to watch. To be honest I have had quite good results with helping dubbies unknowingly to think about TTATT. 1stly they can read it with out closing their minds off as its a news article. 2ndly at face value it has nothing to do with the witnesses. It's not until you start digging beneath the surface that you realise that the issues facing the mormon church are exactly the same with the witnesses. Anyway good luck to you.

I remember many years ago having it leveled against me out in FS that we worship men. I remember proudly saying well I don't know how we could as I don't even know who they are. I must emphasise too, that I was proud of this fact. My my, how times have changed with the dieing of the old guard. -

For God So Loves the Western World...
by Tempest in a Teacup in...that only people from those countries can lead 'his organization'.. a few years ago, one conversation stopper people would often bring up to jws in my country is: 'you guys are an american religion'.
the standard answer we were formatted to give to shoot that down was that "god does not favor any nationality over others.
however some countries do possess some advantages needed for the advancement of the divine work.

I have heard a lot of the top jobs in the Bethels in these developing countries are also run by American imports. I know in 1 south east asian country the job is handled by an American. Probably because they don't trust the locals. -

What person/persons/group is behind the rebranding of Jehovahs Witnesses
by truthseeker inwith the jw rebranding program in full swing, who do you think is behind all this?
i'm not certain the governing body came up with these ideas.
at least not the old guard which died off around 2009.. given the fairly recent articles in the kingdom ministry and watchtower about the dangers of the internet and having the latest gadget, this rebranding effort can't have been in the works for much more than three years.. the makeover is slick...very slick...and very clever.

I believe GB.02 have to get more busy on the net. The battle ground isn't been fought on people's door steps it's been fought in cyber space. They have to free things up for the R&F allowing them to set up individual web sights. Encouraging preaching on net. There is just toooo much bad stuff out there and they need to drown it out. -

There are a number of things that stand out to me here. What you have to bear in mind is that although there is a lot of pressure for conformity there are also different levels of belief. Just as there are people who say they are catholic but have never stepped foot in a Catholic Church, and other Catholics who never miss mass. For instance were these fully fledged members, of perhaps interested people who attended the KH and used the TJ title Because this can make a hugh difference to what you can get away with. Hence everyone saying not to get baptized because that just takes everything to a whole new level. What makes me think your GF and in laws may be more loosely associated is. Firstly to have a wordly BF come and stay in there house would of been a massive no no if the farther had responsibility in the cong. Even the fact the daughter had a wordly BF would of been enough for elders visits. Well this never would of happened with JWisim in the USA.
