on 30th january 2019, the rt hon jeremy hunt mp (foreign & commonwealth office) launched an independent review into the persecution of christians world wide to be chaired by philip mountstephen - bushop of truro.

in his address to the audience, jeremeyhunt stated... .

"... freedom of worship is a fundamental human right... freedom of worship is the invisible line between open societies and closed societies.. where freedom of worship is hampered or prevented, then usually that’s a sign of lots of other things going wrong, and we wanted to make sure that the uk is doing everything to champion the values that we all believe in.".

on board his trip home from eire - the pope gave a 45 min on board press conference (26 aug 2018)..... "... the pope also highlighted the need for parents of gay children to have a dialogue with their offspring and not condemn them.

'your question is clear: what would i say to a father who sees that his son or daughter has that tendency?

i would say first to pray, don’t condemn, dialogue, understand, make space for them.

i no longer attend jw meetings.

All Body of Elders in the UK – A Warning!

1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
shortly after rising this morning (monday 20th november 2017), i checked the news on the bbc’s teletext service.

in the uk (page 1010) the following had top billing…... “jehovah’s witnesses ‘covered up’ abuse”.

“children who were sexually abused by jehovah’s witnesses were allegedly told by the organization not to report it.. victims from across the uk told the bbc they were routinely abused and that the religion’s own rules protected perpetrators.. one child abuse lawyer believes there could be thousands of victims across the country who have not come forward.. the organization said it did not ‘shield’ abusers and any suggestion of a cover-up was ‘absolutely false’.”.
