Washington Post in US: Jehovah's Witnesses Face Child Sex Abuse Investigation in Australia

by cultBgone in

it's finally hit mainstream media in the us!

let's hope some savvy investigative journalists see a pulitzer for opening up this story to cover the us and worldwide cases.. jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/.

everyone who is able should hurry up and post comments on their website as the pro-jw forces have rallied and are trying to squash this as libel.

Royal Commission National Redress Scheme. Average of $65,000 per victim, not including psychological fees and admin costs.

by Lemonp in

the royal commission published it's redress report today.

it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.

all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.

We can all do a bit to ensure that the report does "get out there" - Many did the same with the ARC hearings. I mailed it directly to the branch comm. members of the local Bethel - until after the 3rd or 4th mailing the replies started coming back from the main IT centre etc as 'unable to deliver' etc - But at least one or two were seen..

You have friends, contacts, colleagues and also your local district "free to the door" newspaper. FB / Twitter etc etc

New hominid Species Discovered in South Africa

by cofty in

homo naledi has been added to our family tree but exactly where, is still to be discovered.

read more here.... over 1500 fossils making up 15 separate individuals have been discovered in a cave near johannesburg.

here are a few highlights of it's anatomy.... the skull was globular, like a member of our genus but the brain was small and primitive.

Looks very Primate to me ..................................but hell what do I know ....I only live in Africa ! Had an African edumacation !

Actually the way the Paleontologists ...Peleon ...Pealeontol......whatever ....wax on about how they were found in a section of the cave which "proves" that they were conducting burial rituals at that time and so on and so on is akin to JW. Org making up shite about doctrine !

Sorry - I am not convinced one bit/

New light from GB member David Splane!

by Island Man in

in the latest jw broadcast splane is quoted as saying:.

"suppose there was a man who died 10 minutes before joseph was born.

would he be part of joseph's generation?

AFRIKANMAN

"Suppose there was a man who died 10 minutes before Joseph was born. Would he be part of Joseph's generation? No. Because he had never lived at the same time as Joseph, he was not a contemporary of Joseph's. Now suppose there was a little baby who was born 10 minutes after Joseph died. Would the baby be part of Joseph's generation? Again, no. Because the baby would not have lived at the same time as Joseph." - JW Broadcast 9/2015, 00:04:00+

One Baby dying does not negate the fact that at or around that time period other babies were born - who then constitute the "Generation" of babies born at that time ! Trying to narrow down the meaning of generation to Days hours and minutes is what Splane is trying to splane ....................I think ? Can u splane it any better ? Narrowing the analogy to one dead baby has caused Splane to blow smoke up his Rear end - He thus negates his own argument. ..................lawdy I am off to study economics instead !!
