"[jehovah's witnesses] have some ... very well-designed articles telling parents how to teach their children to deal with the molestation situation .
and in ways so that the child will feel secure about coming home and reporting it."dr.
rodney stark, professor of sociology.
they do encourage the children to report child molesting......it's true.....
the problem is that they are encouraged to report it to unqualified elders, too,,,,,,who then either mentally molest them again, or cover it up, to protect their pedophile friends.......and then punish the victims if they won't go along with it.
so they "can" produce literature that tells children to report abuse.
that's not the issue.........the gov body is very good at side-stepping the issues.
i see 1.16 million witnesses world-wide.
the number of remnant will still be around 8000. the generation that saw 1914 will all be dead.
food shortages will just about be ending and the society will use the "earthquakes" logic to explain this.
here that fred?.......you are destined to be on the gov body!!!
see that???........alot of people here recognize that you have all the qualities to be a highly respected member of the gov body.
you better start practicing making up "new lies".......errr,,,, i mean new light.
i borrowed another tape recording from my mothers church.. in this sermon the pastor described how the jews were obsessed with their temple.
so much so that they really started worshipping the temple itself.
one obsession was how clean the temple had to stay.
hi happy man!!!
are you still an elder in jw congregation?......or have you figured out that claiming to be god's mouthpiece carries the death penalty?.....deut 18;20

hi blind fool,
i don't believe the jw organization ever was god's temple........so that's why i think anyone who trys to clean it out won't have much success.....i personally would love to shut down the whole religion,,,,,,but i don't believe god would help me, it would just be my own doing.
i have not been on the site for awhile.
i have been really busy with school and work.
but now things are calmed down a bit, and i am back... so hi again to everyone i missed, and also to anyone new.
hi college girl,
why don't you give a nice talk, because that's important information.....you should be careful who you associate with!
just outline the principals of finding good friends, never mentioning jws.........if it's clear, some of the young ones who aren't completely brainwashed will think about it, and possibly realize that most of their jw friends are bad association.........
i must say that as a neutral scientific observer of this site--it seems that things are kind of one-sided here.
i thought this was a board with both devout jws and ex-jws on it.
on further reflection it appears that this medium of communication should probably be called ex-jw.com.
hi eutapro,
we have open minds,......that's why we left the jw cult.
their "truth" does not stand up to scrutiny........jws are welcome to show us how we are wrong, but if you read any jw comments, you will see that they cannot defend their believes without telling lies.
do you call it "one sided" if a professional fighter knocks out his apponent in the first round?.......should it be a tie?
subterfuge is not alway lying as we show yesterday.
sometime subterfuge more like cunnning or adroitness.
the bible give example of subterfuge that not lying.
so, you agree, you have re-defined "two prophets"?
hmmmmmmm, .........and you have re-defined all the miricles that they do too, right hilda?????

gee hilda,.......the gov body invented a new meaning for "2 prophets"?
and they are "only prophets" in the sense of proclaiming the truth???
HAHAHAHAHAHAH.........>>>>>>>>>HAHAHAHAHA<<<<<<<<<HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
and when the truth they proclaim is found to be lies,,,,1799, 1874, 1878, 1914, 1925, 1975.........they aren't liable to duet 18:20, cause they aren't really prophets?
but they must be obeyed, because they are god's mouthpiece, his prophets??????.........but they aren't really prophets, like the bible says?????
you are so funny, hilda.......

hi hilda,
how is claiming to be god's mouthpiece not a lie?
the gov body claims to be the two prophets in the 11 chapter of rev.
that carries the death penalty in the bible. (deut 18:20)
but when anyone mentions their numerous failed predictions, all of a sudden, they claim not to be inspired or prophets.
but when talking about doctrines,,,,,,,they claim theirs must be obeyed, cause they are god's mouth piece..........how nice!!!!!
lets's see now,.........i guess they don't believe duet 18:20.
rev, it's grand climax at hand!....page 166
i love the pictures of fire comming down from heaven!!!!!
hi guys.. this is a post where it's gonna be like a diary entry for me.
this will help me get out some things.
those who have been in the chat room recently with me know what's going on.. last night was so hard for me.
hi katie,
seems like you rely on others to much.........maybe you should try understanding yourself better.......and you would feel more secure, and what others do to you won't be as traumatic to you.
