  does anyone know the answer to this?

  has there ever been a successful lawsuit against the org?

  i've heard of many cases against them, but i'm curious to know if any have been successful.

  The documents were undoubtedly some "commandments" to perform a certain amount of preaching work, counsel on what type of cars to purchase, etc.

  Watchtower to pay for Silentlambs trip

  from silentlambs (bill bowen):.

  on thursday of this week world wide work money will again be spent to protect a pedophile.

  in addition it will also be spent to pay money to a disfellowshipped person in order to find a way to prevent them from assisting the court case of abuse survivors.

  not make some disgruntled Witness rich with our donations

  Your comment only reinforces the callous attitude of the Organization so often discussed on this board. Do you consider 17 molested children simply to be "disgruntled Witnesses"?

  Sex in the New Book "Learn from the Great Teacher"

  by AlanF in

  2. beliefs

  i just obtained a copy of one of the new releases from the summer jw district conventions, learn from the great teacher.

  this book is oriented towards children, and frankly, is a stereotypical piece of propaganda from the "faithful and discreet slave".

  in some ways the book is incredibly revealing, since it has to break down a number of ridiculous jw teachings into a form that even jw children can swallow, and when those teachings are put into simplest form their ridiculousness is evident to everyone but small children and stereotypically braindead jws.

  Ha, ha, Englishman. Here in the US, we use "fanny" to describe our buttocks. One of my friends is a schoolteacher who recently visited England and spoke to the elementary school class where one of her friends was teaching. She didn't understand why they started laughing and snickering when she said the plane flight was so long, her "fanny" went numb!!!!!

  Her friend had to fill her in on the meaning there...

  Afrothunder88, I have never been a Witness and I have had 34 birthday parties and guess what? No one has been killed or even hurt at one of them. You might want to tell them about this so they won't worry so much .

  Their rules are anywhere from just plain silly (birthdays) to downright murderous (blood). Don't blame your Dad or the people in the organization, though. It's not their fault, especially those who were raised in it. We just need to keep praying for them and trying to help them understand.

  Sorry!!!

  Witnessism's........

  i know some have posted similar topics like this, but i thought it might be kind of fun (for the new ones that are coming here in droves) and others, to give some examples of catch phrases etc, that are unique to the jw world.

  here's a few to start:.... "muster up boldness", "sound down into our hearts","satan's crafty acts", "paradisaic", "young ones"," discernment".....these are just a few of the more irritating.

  add yours if you'd like.. integ.

  If You Had A Choice!......

  okay, here's a question for everyone.

  if you had to choose between:

  living forever, but not allowed to have power, fame or fortune (please ignore the obvious contradiction) or...

  Uh... do you mean with dubs, live forever? I'd rather be dead... seriously. If no dubs, I'd take forever....

  Ditto. I'd rather be filthy rich and famous for 50 years and then die rather than live forever under the WTBTS/GB. This is a no-brainer.

  The first one I got was really disobedient (kinda like an apostate) and hard to train. But this new one is only 9-weeks and he is potty pad trained already. I couldn't believe it. I have to admit, though, I have lost more than one pair of shoes to these little sweeties.
