  Court overturns $35 million sex abuse verdict against Jehovah's Witnesses

  shocking!.

  the montana supreme court has unanimously overturned the largest civil verdict against the jehovah's witnesses in u.s. history in a closely-watched case on the requirements of religious leaders to report suspected incidents of child sexual abuse.. the ruling, issued wednesday, erased a $35 million jury verdict to alexis “lexi” nunez, who was abused by a member of the thompson falls, mont, congregation.

  elders at the local kingdom hall knew of separate allegations against the man, but did not report those to law enforcement after relying on legal advice from headquarters that clergy in montana are not required to report allegations deemed by religious organizations to be “confidential.”.

  this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.

  somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.

  the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

  Australian Bethel propose building a media complex

  by Listener in

  there's a post on exjw reddit stating that the ibsa are planning on building a media operation at the sydney bethel.. the estimated cost is $10 million aud and this in spite of the fact that they still have not joined the redress scheme or attempted in any monetary way of assisting abused victims within the organization.. the link below includes detailed plans.

  they will be converting part of the current printery into a media complex.. they also propose to build a theme park in the form of a historical biblical site, including a man made mound and what one person suggests is a temple.. its not surprising that a bunch of old men in new york has dreamed all of this up - film sets in new york, england and now australia.

  they are bonkers but it's a novel way of getting money from their followers.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ernz3y/new_media_centre_at_the_australian_sydney_bethel/.compact.

  Outcast Doctrines

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a recent post about the watchtower’s claim that all animals were created as vegetarians, one commenter said that watchtower could no longer sustain this belief so they simply stopped talking about it.

  i began thinking about other wacky doctrines and statements by the borg that have faded away.

  i’ll offer two of them below, but the complete list must be longer than your arm.. 7000 year-long creative days: watchtower once taught that each of the creative days was 7,000 years in duration, hence the hype leading up to 1975. they believed that year marked 6,000 years since adam’s creation, and oh how nicely the 1,000-year reign would fit as the last piece of the puzzle, thus completing the final “day”.

  Is Heavenly Jerusalem made up of 144,000 and is it God's wife or Jesus Bride? MOTHER?

  by truthlover123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in 1957 society said real mother of christians is not an earthly organization, yet - later said gal 4:26 shows it is heavenly jerusalem but three times in revelation hj comes to earth to reside with mankind.. it is also called jerusalem above.. in isa 54:5,6 we are told ""thy maker is thy husband- he has called you as wife" (speaking of earthly jerusalem) and we are told in many scriptures that god will never forsake his wife - yet the society says it is all spiritual now.

  that jerusalem has been cast off.....then 1919, the new agenda for the society is that jehovahs wife?

  brought forth more children, making a new nation (anointed) who was delivered from babylon.

  i've only recently started using this programme.

  it does exactly what i need, but one thing i don't like about it is this:.

  when i type out more than one page, it displays them on the screen as side by side - instead of sequentially below each other.. can anyone tell me how to change the way the documents are displayed?.
