    Hello all; my jaw dropped monday at the bookstudy. At the book study on monday, the only meeting i can stomach anymore, a statement was made that made my blood boil. In asking the question "How does God protect us?" Sister elder answered this way: "Well, one of the ways is like that abuse case that was filed in the (Twin) Cities, or wherever, (sic) it turns out it was thrown out because all the charges were false, or whatever. So Jehovah protected us from that." I kid you not; this is actually what she said, verbatim. She not only had never read ANY of the actual articles about Heidi or Amber, because she didn't trust the lying, Satanic media, she did not know that the judge found that ALL of what was alleged in the suit was found true; the only negative is that they found that the Society was not to blame because they bought the lies from the WTS lawyers. Thought you might like to know what is STILL going through the congregations: complete disbelief of legitimate newspaper and television reporting, and refusal to even READ them. To top it off, they are attributing their ignorance to being God's protection. FYI. P

    What you relate is not something surprising. "Religion is the opium of the people." That new system is like opium to many jws. They cling to the notion that the world causes all of their problems and that armegeddon and the new system will solve all of their problems. Yep, any day now, they will win the biggest lottery ever. So many of them want to have their ears tickled.

    Then there are those who are like us who take note and let doubts begin to grow.

    We had a similar situation at a WT study. Except is was about Ground Zero. Apparently a brother had wanted to go to Gilead or something but he also needed ot get a job. He went on some job interviews and was hired by an employer at the Twin Towers, before accepting the position, it turned out that he was also accepted for Gilead (or one of the WT schools). Anyway, when he asked his new potential employer if he could be hired after this ministry school thing the employer said "no". So this brother made a decision to go to the school instead of taking the job.

    Now over the year, this story got translated as "God protected this brother because he chose spiritual things over physical things." A sister gave this answer at the hall to a similar question and I about wanted to puuuuuuuke. In essence, what she was saying is that God allowed the death of the other 14 brothers and sisters that day because they chose to support their families? The WT conductor did not even correct the sister..

    You see, this is how all those unscriptual teachings get translated through the hall. Because sister so in so said it it must be true. It gets spread through each congregation by visitors. Over time this is how pepperoni was blood, beards were bad, dresses only, etc etc. I knew I had a responsibility to approach the sister and did and I also approached an elder because I felt that it was his responibility to correct any misconception that was be born that day through his talks . You may want to do this for Sister Elder. Otherwise the other poor sheep that follow her will perpetuate the LIE.

    That is absolutly disgusting! What is sad (imo) is that some child will hear this kind of statement and not keep their guard up- because "this just doesn't happen at the KH". Makes me want to scream!!!!!!!!!

    I heard several sisters make similar comments at book studies and watchtower studies around the time there was a sexual abuse case in the courts here. All of them were elders wives.

    Sickening!
