Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents
by Simon injudge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

How will BREXIT affect Watchtower's interpretation of Daniel's prophecies?
by truthseeker innow that the uk has voted to leave the eu i wonder how this will impact watchtower's thinking about the end times prophecies in daniel and revelation?.
will trump win the presidency, and if so, will he and whoever is in charge of the uk form a new anglo-american power?
what about the ten kings ruling in the time of the end?.

If An Organization Really Believed It Had the Truth...
by xjwsrock in....it would not be scared of critics.
actually they would naturally take an offensive stance, wouldn't they?
they would welcome debate... even encourage it.

President of the USA, FDR once said something like "We have nothing to fear but fear itself!"
The wt/gb version of this statement is: "We have nothing to fear but truth (and history) itself!"

Watchtower and Brexit
by jwleaks inso britain is leaving the european union (eu).. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its european activities to the control of watchtower britain and the ibsa primarily because of britain's membership with the eu.. further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, european association of jehovah's christisn witnesses, based in brussels, is administered by watchtower britain and its officers.
.
expect major changes in the structure of watchtower..

"It's the feet of clay in Daniel's drug induced vision,"
Your comment reminded me that just a few years ago at the DC that subject of the 'feet of clay' was changed yet again!
OMG when will the brothers get it that the wt changes interpretations so often that it's laughable.
just sayhing!

When the dam wall busts.
by stuckinarut2 insome (especially witnesses) may wonder what brings us to places like this?.
why is it that we have chosen to step away from the society that we once viewed as "the truth", despite the consequences for doing so?.
well for any visitors to this site, or any other "apostate" sites, the answer is simple really:.

I'd venture to say that we are all here because:
"We would rather have questions that can't be answered-- than answers that can't be questioned!"

Whenever I see the "trolley witnesses" I usually stand back and snap a few pictures of them doing things that are not "putting the kingdom first"--you know, chatting and ignoring the public, drinking coffee-tea, texting or talking on the phone, or watching the latest video to 'catch up on the latest trues from jehober'. I like to show the pictures to my wife for her comments. I know it pisses her off, but she's beginning to see how 'trolley witnessing' is a waste of time and an embarrassment!

If it's in the Hebrew scriptures, it's part of Jewish mythology. All ancient society's have their mythology so why would the Jews be any different?
like 'stuckinarut2' said 'it must be real if it's in the bible' cause jehober would not let anything unreal be part of his word- don't ya' know?

"New Heavens & New Earth" (Why The Need For New Heavens?)
by NoMoreHustle ini have been thinking about this phrase lately "new heavens & new earth".
the new earth piece i guess i can see that one...... (still not really sure about that one) .
but why the need for "new heavens"?

"A new heavens and a new earth" probably sounded very poetic to the bible writer in his time, so he wrote it down and it's still there!

My life has ended (be careful what you wish for part 2)
by nevaagain innoone and nothing can really prepare you for the burning pain you feel when your spouse leaves you after 8 years of marriage.
from one day to another, all your dreams, hopes and plans are shattered.. i still have so many questions which will remain unanswered in eternity.. the thread i made a few weeks ago, is part of this story.
after learning about ttatt my plans involved to wake up my wife as well and exit the truth.

You are still being held captive by the jw way of thinking about marriage. "Marriage is forever, no matter what"--thinking! I had a similar experience 10 years into our marriage and we had 2 children at the time. We also married young--19 and 18.
When a woman (or a man) develop romantic interests outside the marriage, there is not much one can do about it. It's not necessarily you, it's the situation. Being young and vital often leads to extra marital relationships. As I look back now, it was my ego that was damaged the most, thinking that I was such a stud. lol....
Anyway, she came back (I also enjoyed a few flings myself during her absence) and we will be celebrating our 50th next year. You never know!
