  How many lawsuits?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  could this be a "wake up trigger" question to a nosy elder?.

  "how many pedophile lawsuits are the wts legal team currently defending?".

  how would/could they answer?why should the answer be secret?.

  Still looking for some idea of the trouble WT is facing.

  Could it be more than 100 world wide?
  That would seem low to me.

  Can someone please call "Legal" and get a straight answer?

  I listened to the introduction first.
  I detected the voice of someone that was forced to do this.

  Total lack of interest and sincerity.

  This guy is broken. Listen to him.
  Something BIG is coming. He sounds defeated.

  Where is his jovial, arrogant, judgmental and insulting talk now?

  Avalanche of lawsuits, i'm thinking.

  And no money to pay the settlements. So sad...

  I played live music at an outdoor, community 4th of July celebration today.

  I'm sure this is big "no-no", but I must confess, brothers ( gag ). I stood and sang along with the "Star Spangled Banner". Even shed a "secret tear". ( Idolatry? )

  Must say, it felt much better than tormenting poor unsuspecting householders with unwanted commentary on how "God's Kingdom" is so much better than the USA...

  thinking of leaving the jws for good is frightening.engaging a quality fade is nerve racking!there can be horrible consequences that can leave one shunned.even the most careful fade can be undone by many means and loved ones.. one must weigh the consequences of leaving with true freedom.yes, that kind.

  where you always make the decisions in your own life.. no need to be reckless and wild to destruction.

  be like almost everyone else in society that enjoys life to the full and looks out for their fellow.look around you at happy, friendly people in your community.

  Yes, that kind. Where YOU always make the decisions in YOUR own life.
  

  No need to be reckless and wild to destruction.

  Look around you at happy, friendly people in your community.
  So many potential friends to meet if you are interested.

  None of us chose where we were born, our sex, race, etc.
  For many of us, JW life was no exception.

  The REAL LIFE.
  It's right in front of us all.

  It will only be what you make of it or allow to develop.
  Don't get stuck without control of all aspects of your one and only life.

  I'd love to hear from survivors that went through Gehenna® to get out of the ORG and only wish they had acted sooner. Getting out is tough.

  Being free is worth any cost. ( Que 4th of July, fireworks and the Star Spangled Banner )

  JW's copied Mormons?

  2. beliefs

  i've been doing a lot of research about mind control, cults etc which led me to look into the world and beliefs of mormons.

  the similarities between jw's and mormons are staggering!

  it's almost a carbon copy which only a few differences.. did the jw's set out to copy them i wonder?

  I wouldn't be surprised if the same group runs several cults.

  every second our watch ticks, thats frequency of our current time.

  the frequency will hit our reality every 1 second.. same method for rainbow frequency.. this is where i need your scientists.

  need confirmation of change on fact of time.. and this... is truth of jehovah.... under sugar water, blue light will appear on left side.. under salt water, red light will appear on right side.. this concept is same for our heart.

  Has appointment of MS and Elder been changed?

  by Simon Templar in

  are there any changes to the new procedure?

  it seems to me that the co doesn't ask the candidate questions any longer.

  they just decide who they will appoint and announce it at the next weekly meeting.

  Before I was appointed, about 10 years ago, they just asked me in an awkward fashion if I was engaged in sin?

  They we're prepared to appoint me, so why would they doubt me if I said I was "free from the practice of sin".

  Of course, just about everyone is...

  I had volunteered to help with a new assembly hall.

  We were on the one of the first crews. Installing erosion control on the project perimeter.
  Summer, hot climate and dusty. 1000s of yards from public street view in an unincorporated part of the county.

  When the other volunteers came to pick me up, they said if I didn't change into long pants I could not come along. ( Uber Dubs fresh back from some missionary assignment in Sierra Leone ) I was wearing the white painter's shorts that I wear *everyday* as a contractor. ( later an article came out in the WT with a picture of a construction volunteer in the same style of shorts... I showed them )

  I was stupid and changed into long pants. I let them regulate my personal freedom.
  Why didn't I recognized the cult control?
