much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.
her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.
astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.
I think applewhite is a person who is hired by organizations that have had cases of sexual abuse and that want to improve their image, apear like they are doing something to fight the issue.
Looks like she is hired for the image of the abusers and not to care for the victims.
damn those tricky state laws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmeg1omfumk 15:30 on.
annoying no?.

i was baptized then i was 15 years old and just entering high school.
i had been a perfect jw teenager through out my high school years, although i craved to be a little bit worldly.
when i graduated high school, i moved out and got a job working with my older non-jw brother.
Don't be sorry for it, they are not the true religion anyway, there is no one true organization. God deals with people individually, not with organizations.
how much do you want to bet that the organization has already started preparing articles for the watchtower magazines, convention talks, circuit overseers talks and letters to bodies of elders, to refute what is happening in australia?
.
right now the most important thing for the wt to do is protect their image that they are gods visible organization.especially in the u.s. and latin american countries.
I was thinking of this today ... they are probably preparing articles, maybe a small change of the doctrine and conclude that the tribulation is starting with an atack at the true religion ...
I hope this goes further and that their position as a charity org. is also questioned ...
They took the Name of the Lord in vain and they deceived a lot of people.
as more and more cases are winning payouts against the watchtower inc i wonder over the past five years for example what is the known financial figure that they have been hit with thus far?.
can anyonetell me?.
hi folks.
new here, and growing weary of finding an e-text version of one of the earlier releases of the new world translation.
i have searched high and low, and for some reason, it is as if it does not exist.. i'm catholic, but for research purposes and as a courtesy to jws, i've put the 1984 and the 2013 versions in a database format for e-sword (e-sword.net).
@ Pieta
I had no idea you can put the nwt in that program....
do you have to torrent link or name?
I downloaded e-sword a few weeks ago but did not learn how to use it, yet
today i feel deep sad memories in my brain.. visiting bookstudy with my parents, doing my best giving answers at 7 years old.. doing fieldservice every weekend and on an evening.. i could write so much story's about it.. we believed from our hart and listened to what the organisation told us.. it makes me sad, what a scam it became.. today i can't stand it.. i can cry about it.
.
gorby.
Don't feel sad. God is not in an organization. God is alive and we can have a personal relationship with Him. We do not need any other mediator but Jesus, no organization, no group of people, no one else.
my jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.
it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.
he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.
It is strictly forbitten for JW's to have sex without being married!
he is a fake, a gross sinner and a deceiver.
You should tell on him, he will do the same to other women.
paedophiles repeatedly promoted to positions of authority in jehovahs witness church royal commission told.
1 hour ago july 27, 2015 12:45pm.
counsel assisting the royal commission, angus stewart sc has told the royal commission that church elders could now face criminal charges.
They are so full of s#!t, pardon my french, but I feel sick when I hear / see phrases like:
‘embrace God’s Kingdom under Christ’ and to ‘love God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself’
who do they love? no one, just numbers and titles
they do not even believe Jesus will return visibly, they want to rule the world by themselves
listening to the first survivor testify to the australian royal commission really brought back some feelings i had put aside.. the feelings of guilt you feel for doing the right thing is extremely hard even when you know it's illogical it doesn't stop the abuse you do to yourself with these toxic thoughts of "dragging jehovah's name through the mud" i guess it doesn't help that you have the elders freaking out saying "reproach, reproach...this is bad!!
it took quite awhile for me to come to terms with how completely ridicules it is to think jehovah would want this hidden.
the truth is the religion wants it hidden and they are perfectly fine with destroying lives along the way!!
The only reason why I am sorry this happens is Jehovah's name.
They shouldn't have used His name for their organization. It only shows how puffed and full of themselves they were and are.
