13 some youths brought up by christian parents may not see the stark contrast between our current spiritual paradise and satans dark world.
some have even been tempted to see what life in the world is like.
but would you run in front of a moving car just to find out how painful and possibly fatal that could be?
13 Some youths brought up by Christian parents may not see the stark contrast between our current spiritual paradise and Satan’s dark world. Some have even been tempted to see what life in the world is like. But would you run in front of a moving car just to find out how painful —and possibly fatal— that could be? Of course not! "

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.
Thanks snare, this is big news.
Does anyone agree with me, that the timing of this news release is pretty bad for the org?
In the last 2 days there have been 3 articles published on Jehovahs Witnesses child abuse cover-ups, and between the roughly 800,000 circulation of the Sunday Times, and however many read The Guardian and Examiner.com , potentially hundreds of thousands of people have read about the organisations failure to protect children in the last two days..
Then maybe they hear this in the news and start talking...
(For anyone who missed the articles, see here for links to all of them):
here's an interesting quote from it:.
in a youtube video: jehovah's witnesses threatening children with death - lloyd evans tells the david pakman show that, scientology only has about 50,000 members, whereas the jehovah's witnesses organization has about 8 million.
its like a comedy show when you look into some of the beliefs of what scientologists adhere to.
Here's an interesting quote from it:
In a YouTube video: “Jehovah's Witnesses Threatening Children with Death” - Lloyd Evans tells the David Pakman Show that, “Scientology only has about 50,000 members, whereas the Jehovah's Witnesses organization has about 8 million. It’s like a comedy show when you look into some of the beliefs of what Scientologists adhere to. What we have with the Jehovah's Witnesses is rampant child abuse, rampant “shunning” similar to Scientology, but it’s far more widespread simply because there is far more Jehovah's Witnesses.”

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.
2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.
these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.
You're welcome. And for any lazy people, here is a direct link..
