  Governing body deceiving members on purpose?

  by wwjdnwt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was born into this religion.

  i was a jw for well over 30 years.

  i did much research before i had internet, i compared bibles and prayed deeply to help me to know if this was the truth.

  Why are none of the 'Governing Body' being summoned to any of the abuse commissions?

  by GodZoo in

  i'm not sure if this has been covered but i'm wondering why none of the gb are being requested at or formally summoned to any of the australian abuse commissions or other investigations that are taking place around the world?

  they after all are the ones single handedly responsible for making and enforcing all the rules that are the sole cause of all these abuses and problems.. why are they just keeping their silent distance and leaving all the ill-equipped and sadly incompetent local elders exposed to take the full public blast, criticism and humiliation for all that is now being brought out in these investigations?

  how are they seemingly able to sit cosy in their ivory tower immune and unaccountable?.

  There is probably some corporate arrangement that covers them from responding directly. You may see the top Australian officials of the Australian branch being called in. I am not sure what it would take but for sure there is a way to get the GB there. It may just take an act of government or some sort of judicial proceeding in order to get them to show up.

  Did the Governing Body sucessfully fend off this bad news on thier TV Broadcast??

  remember there was a talk about not listening to "false stories" about sexual abuse from apostates on jw's fantasy station?

  did the governing body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?

  they must have had subpoenas giving them a heads up.

  Yeap, there is no doubt that some will never quit believing. Even today there are some Branch Davidians that still live in or near the compound in Waco

  This is getting more and more disgusting: "JW Abuse Victim Told to Bottle Her Tears"

  by cappytan in

  it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

  Yes, I've been thinking about it. I was not moving on it because I am making some progress with my wife and I did not want to ruin it.

  CNN, NBC and NPR do have it on their websites but not in their headlines news. If you do a Yahoo search today, or simply click on the #9 or #10 trend, you will see that the top 6 or 7 search results are about this news. Only after this does JW-DOT-ORG shows up in the search.

  So I have not reported a single hour of FS or family worship in over 8 months. Have not given a single comment in a meeting for over a year. A few weeks ago, my brother in law, who is an MS now, approached me. He wanted help with a WT presentation. You know, those were you pretend to be the JW and the other person pretends to be the householder. I was supposed to play the part of the JW. Being as naive as my BIL is, I did not really felt like he was trying to make me feel bad and besides, he caught me off guard and in front of the family so I could not say no. That was until last week I was given an assignment for the ministry school. I am supposed to do it along with my wife and oldest daughter. I am supposed to pretend I have a family study going on. This was given to me by one of the most arrogant elders in the congregation.

  I was wondering if there is "new light" on how to compel inactive ones by means of making them look like effing hypocrites in front of their families.

  That would not be a bad idea. The more the topic trends, the most likely that other news outlet will pick it up

  I would take all of them, unless someone has beat me to them. In such case I will take whatever you have left.
