A Question For Bill Bowen
by anid1 inhi, i just have a quick question.
on another board a girl stepped forward and said that her story will be airing on dateline.
she said that you had uncovered her story of her husband abusing someone and it being hid by the wt.. now, i can't go into all the details because it would make this post very long but i just have a feeling this is a jehovah's witness trying to make this look like a farce because her story changes like you wouldn't believe.

by dubla inyou know made this satement on another thread concerning the child abuse issue:.

Why say Jehovah anymore?
by Bang inthe wtbts uses the word 'jehovah' to lord it over people.
it's great that they picked on a made up name - it's a gift horse in the mouth for you to be so at liberty to drop it.
(i love sayings, you know, a gift , horse / pride, and from their own mouth?)..

MUST CLERGY REPORT ABUSE IN YOUR STATE?
by outnfree inin another thread, dungbeetle had the great idea that we should become activists at least in our own states (if not in all the states which do not require reporting) for mandatory clergy child abuse reporting.. watchtower has said that the elders will be ordered to report abuse in a clergy-mandated-reporting state.
so why don't we do this...someone put up a list of all the remaining states that do not have this rule, and we start working on the legislators of those states to implement this rule or some version of it, and to close the loopholes and strengthen any existing rules.
it will solve one problem that i can see.

I've been studying.........
by bchapp ini have been studying with the jw's for several years.
they have been pressuring me to become one of them, but something seems to be holding me back, instinct maybe?
i agree a lot of their teaching are good, and i'm sure are the truth but here are a few of the things that bother me: jw's use the scripture hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the gathering of yourselves together...... to justify their meetings.
