about time..... "teachers, councillors and social workers in england and wales who fail to protect children could face up to five years in jail under new proposals.. the new measures, being unveiled by the prime minister, would see the crime of "wilful neglect" extended to cover children's social care and education.. there would also be unlimited fines for individuals and organisations shown to have let children down.".

when they so cleverly predicted to us all that the world would turn against them, something that has not happened despite over a 100 years of taunting power and opposing religious figures, now it is likely to begin, they failed to mention that it would be due to rampant paedophilia in 'gods earthly organisation'.what a wholesome enviroment to grow up in and raise a child.. we have heard it said many times here that the jw's won't last as they are so entrenched in trends, so opposite to modern human progress, culture and society, they stand out as more extremist and inhumane by the year, mocked regularly in the media now.
The legislators in the uk must be held to account by the democratic will of the people to whom they are bound to provide justice and security.
If they do not include religious organisations in the latest proposal they will be failing in their duty of legal protection for the innocent and conviction of the guilty.....Who would disagree.
Religious or organisational rules which conflict with the democratic law of the land inc' sharia should be exposed and dealt with severely.
i am perpetually challenged by the fact that most jws are completely duped by the propaganda pumped out relentlessly by the borg.
even intelligent ones; they unwittingly grovel to the gb decisions and follow the party line.
they do this for a number of reasons..
Possibly we'll have to wait for neuroscience to come up with the evidential answer, it's all to do with our brains. There is somehow a need to rely on something out with our own workings to take the burden of what's perceived to be the unknown. Many many people succumb to their own idea of a comfort zone , and because they are so convinced will seek to convince others, and so it goes on and on. This process seems to allow for delusion to the point where very intelligent people can be so ingrained that the utterly ridiculous and craziest of notions will be believed as truth to keep them in their comfort zone.
The frustration is, that if you are fortunate enough to escape the madness trying to understand why others don't see it is utterly perplexing.
it took a few years but i finally decided to join yesterday.
my background, born-in, still go to meetings for family reasons, i am inactive however.
if you were to ask when i first woke up i would say 2010 with the overlapping generation garbage.
Welcome...yeah I had the overlapping gen' discussion with two trolley/ cart older jws , they had no biblical support for this and could only say its further enlightenment?!!
Best wishes on your journey out of the bullsh....t
i'm new here but not new to researching and questioning the jw beliefs.
i have quite a story.... one that's been haunting me for awhile... but first, i'd like to hear what people have to say about this topic question, please.. -gigi.
Put another way...if it is the ' truth ' you would have certainty as opposed to hope which is a desire or expectation that something is true ( as in a hope for the future ) what you certainly have is your life which you should live in the present, not withstanding having goals and ambitions.
Those who always live in hope of an outcome in the future are not really taking charge of the present imo.
Best wishes.
for those of you familiar with ayn rand and her ideas on morality, rationality and reason, what is your opinion of those ideas?.
i'm talking about her actual ideas, not the ideals that libertarianism has adopted and, in some cases, perverted.
do you think she's a charlatan?

when i understood, jws are wrong in some vital areas [eg.
woman being viewed secondary, refusal to greet those differing with them ....], but right in other vital areas [such as their teaching that human rule is doomed, and will be replaced by gods rule], i began a diligent search for the right organization.
my search ended with brahmakumaris.
Abiather..
Are you still putting your faith in an organization? If so other human brain conjurers are leading you. If you are happy with that arrangement you must be a person who requires someone else to do your thinking for you.
end of the worldhow and whenexplained scientifically!.
problem with humans is that they dont learn from mistakes.
their greed has already spoiled air and water, and brought global warming which would ultimately sink most of the inhabited earth!.

Abiather..." good sense prevailed over the king "..No good sense would have been to deal with the other creatures which ate the crop so that his subjects would benefit from the crop. By returning the sparrows he risks famine for his subjects..outcome?...sparrows survive humans starve! Is that gods nature?

Re the sparrows....The kings mistake was not understanding the principles of food chain, had he consulted the farmers their observation may have educated him. That he brought the sparrows back only only reestablished the status quo.
His acknowledgement of god is really two fold on the one hand ..his balance of nature is correct. On the other..I'll just have to put up with the returned sparrows eating the wheat ,caterpillars and locusts! Result... his subjects had little wheat. Silly king relying on god me thinks.
