God's word explained by the 'faithful and discreet slave'
by Esse quam videri in"however, we cannot hope to acquire a good relationship with jehovah if we ignore those whom jesus has appointed to care for his belongings.
without the assistance of the faithful and discreet slave, we would neither understand the full import of what we read in gods word nor know how to apply it.

CANDACE CONTI - MIXED EMOTIONS
by The Searcher inwhatever the outcome of the appeal, i fear that most of us are going to be very disappointed.. a) obviously if the org wins.. b) if the org loses, they will put their plan 'b' into action - damage limitation - which will iinvolve confidentiality agreements being signed by pending/future victims, thereby settling the majority of cases out of court, and winning in several ways;.
there are probably other benefits, but these are the principal ones, and for these reasons i reckon the floodgates will never be allowed to be opened!!!
they've seen how other establishments have responded to their pedophile cases, and have picked up some good tips on how to minimise the effects.

gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!

What would happen if both parents of a baptised child were to be disfellowshipped?
by Esse quam videri inwe hear of children as young as eight being baptized.
the governing body have tried making twelve year olds feel guilty about not being baptized.
being as the society has encouraged [pushed] young ones to be baptized, it apparently has taken a 'keen interest' in the spiritual health and eternal welfare of the child.

deliberate deception by org
by Magnum inthere is ample evidence of the jw organizations being deceptive (for example, misusing quotes in publications such as the trinity brochure and the creation book), but a few years ago i noticed one glaring example of deception that is worth noting..
part #4 for the theocratic ministry school for the week of july 21, 2008 was how can false prophets be identified?
the material was the reasoning book beginning on page 132 (there was a similar service meeting part the week of 8-26-13)..
