World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

by Slidin Fast in

the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

Haa ! To quote a very wise GB member, Mr Lett, "...There is more money going out than there is coming in..." Can't say the guy doesn't know what he's talking about !

I am really grateful that I "stumbled" on this thread ! Thanks to the poster !!

That Applewhite woman has no care or concern for the the victims of JW abuses. This is clearly manifested in her responses to questions posed to her from the 50-54 minute mark in the video.

She sees her clients merely as "cash cows" and she contributes nothing to improving their child-protection measures. I suppose that is more than an oversight. I would say that is how she keeps herself relevant to her clients whom she has to return, now and then, to fix the same problem at different times, in different locations !But she gets her comeuppance in part 1 of the video, from 1:20:00 through to 1:23:56, when she is clobbered by the prosecution for messing about with a WTBS that she knows little or nothing about !

Quote or Misquote?.. Here are the full quotes from the June 1st 2015 Watchtower- How Science Affects Your Life

by defender of truth in

quote from 1 june 2015 watchtower:.

scoobydont

@ NELIM : " I think the first two aren't misquotes? WT article says that some scientists think that if God existed, he would have been found. Which is what the quotes say..."

Really ?! I would say that the second quote, though not an outright misquote is definitely intended to misinform and mislead the followers of WTS. You and I well know that WTS publish these half truths in the knowledge that faithful J-dubs would never bother to research the quotes !

by TerryWalstrom in

watchtower governing body leadership directly impacts 7 million members earth wide.

california court guts child abuse ruling against jehovahs witnesses.

topics: religion / religion and government .

As long as the wider society, including the courts, has it's head up its backside, the WTS will continue to get away with their despicable acts, in the full knowledge that nobody gives a rat's whisker what they do to their members and just how destructive they can be. This charade of hair-splitting between what's legal and moral, hosted and encouraged by the US legal system without due regards to the measurable damages that the WTS inflicts, is simply ludicrous and clearly highlights an area where the government has failed in its primary duty of protecting the citizenry. Please let no one take this as an attack on the US or its legal system as I am sure the US has uncountable things to boast and about, and rightly so. Unfortunately, this apparent lapse in the Conti case is not one that the US can boast about.

Is this the government's way of saying that anyone joining any religious group is basically out there on their own and does so at their own peril ?! Of course, that was a dumb a question since the government has zero interest in religion and cares even less what happens to anyone involved in religion especially those fringe ones such as the WTS.

The American law, as I understand it, allows the creepy WTS to snake its way under the bar on the grounds that spiritual matters are not justiciable in American courts...even when the effects of membership are evident and quantifiable ?! I am begging any law expert to help me out on this !

I live in the UK and would agree with anyone that it is far from being a perfect society, but this Conti case is one that could have left the WTS wondering what hit it if the case had been heard in a UK court !

Latest on Otuo v Jonathan David Morely & Watchtower Bible and Tract Society + Otuo v Watchtower Bible & Tract Society

by Adwoa Kromo in

forum

a month ago someone inquired about where the case against watchtower in otuo v watchtower was at currently.

firstly the claimant has brought two separate claims against the watchtower .

case 1 relates to a suit in slander premised on the words , "frank otuo is no longer a jehovah witness".

The Watchtower Organisation is hurting and bleeding but has, so far, restricted its "theocratic warfare" to court rooms and newspaper pages. However, I worry that, in the long term, as the hurt continues from litigations against the society, it might adopt a mafia-style hit which would see to it that litigants in complex and costly suits against the WTBS either disappear mysteriously or have a "nice" little accident to put them out of the way.

Yes, I know it sounds far-fetched, but would the WTBS stand by and watch its very own demise, occasioned by an inevitable rash of litigations from former members ?!

This organisation already has a track record for fighting dirty. It remains a religious organisation only in name. How much of a leap is it from their current moral (or immoral) position to where I fear they could be heading in the future ?
