  Conspiracy Theory ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  we are all aware here that the wt/jw org is trying its hardest to wriggle out of paying rightful compensation in the form of damages to victims of abuse who bring a claim.. they must be worried about future claims too, not just from decades ago, but from the present, as they have not made any effort as yet to truly protect the vulnerable.. here is my question :.

  as they now direct the congregations through the organization known as "the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" and as in each country this organization is headed and run by a few mendicants with no assets, do you think in future the big jw/wt corporations will deny all responsibility for abuse, by saying the very poor "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses", which owns no property/real estate and has no cash or other assets, is alone responsible ????

  hence no pay out ?.

  'Clergy' and 'Ordained Ministers'

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  what i can't seem reconcile are the concepts of 'clergy' and 'ordained minister'.. the wts has consistently won legal battles, specifically in cases involving military exemption, by making the claim that each and every baptized jw is an 'ordained minister'.

  and, they bolstered this label with the assertion that 'we do not have a clergy class'.

  so, why is that different now in the sex abuse trials that happening right now?

  Bible Students Are NOW CONSIDERED JEHOVAHS WITNESSES

  by Blackfalcon98 in

  2. friends

  oh my, while attending one of the boasting sessions.....an elder made reference to recent changes in watchtower terminology.

  of these changes, he mentioned that bible students are now considered to be jehovah's witnesses!

  this shocked me, so i was wondering have anyone else heard of this new change?

  i'm about half-way through the novel "watch how we walk," written in 2013 by a born-in, jennifer lovegrove.. absolutely worthwhile read.. does this paragraph sum up jw-land?.

  "i was paranoid again, like i had been back home, as though someone was scrutinizing and judging me.

  although i was alone, it reminded me of being at the kingdom hall.
