  Thanks Divid for the interesting read. You have to hand it to the Catholics "they admits it

  violated the principle of religious freedom for it's own members", something JW's have

  no clue about.

  Can A religion violate that principle of religious freedom with it's own members?

  Religious freedom which says that no one is to use force on another human being in matters of

  of conscience, in matters religious. We know some extremist religious group dictate to their members

  on matters of dress, what to eat, health (pray will heal all), and can't leave it.

  Have anyone ever heard of a court case where someone claimed their religious freedom was violated

  by their own religious organization?

  In other words when we speak about religious freedom we are talking about a certain religious group, but

  what about it's members. What is missing , "MY Conscience" something that will not fly in JW world.

  Gods Laws vs Principles: We have God's laws but principles are guidelines we can refer to in

  order to make wise decisions with our own conscience.

  I hope this makes sense.

  WBTS goes to Court of Appeal (Charity Commission investigation)

  by Mephis in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  after a number of high profile cases where both children and survivors clearly weren't adequately protected, the charity commission here in the uk launched an investigation into the wbts as a whole here in britain.

  the main concerns are around the child safeguarding policies being inadequate.

  wbts have fought every step of the way so far.. wbts have been to the high court, who told them to complain to the proper tribunal.. wbts have been to the proper tribunal, who told them that too darn right there were suitable grounds for the charity commission to want to investigate their inability to protect children.. and now the wbts have gone back to the court of appeal to demand that the charity commission inquiry be halted.. i hope the court of appeal tells them that, yes, they too need to have proper safeguarding measures for children and to get on with co-operating with the investigation.. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/charity-commission-defends-its-investigation-into-jehovahs-witness-charity-in-the-court-of-appeal.

  Question: I seem to remember a Kingdom song that said, "we must watch how we talk,

  watch how we walk" something like that. True????

  i've seen this twice now within a month.

  a car group hanging out at a gas station.

  one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.

  In my area L.A Calif we have the largest homeless population, why not

  spend time with those folks. Give them some words of encouragement, that is

  where they should focus their time, you can walk for blocks downtown L.A. and

  see folks living on the street. The bible said Jesus preached to the needy not someone

  who drove up a golden chariot, (car today).

  I'm sure they reason let the government take care of the homeless , I pay my taxes.
