  Other thoughts: the two witnesses idea

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whether the two witnesses to two separate incidences is new or old, it is still a very stupid policy.

  let us suppose a child was raped and their parents took the matter to police.

  further suppose that the police said, that they couldn't investigate because there had not been any other complaints against the rapist.

  they can interpret the two witness scripture any way they want to, just look at what they did to "generation".

  the reason they interpret it as they do, is because it is an "excuse" to keep the cases out of court, and away from the media.

  it's the media that that can make people aware that they are not a clean organization, not god's organization.

  for many of us, the internet is old news.

  when i first met my husband in 1995, we were using the internet for his job search.a friend racked up $494 in monthly charges out of my checking account back in the days before aol was unlimited.

  (yes, they paid me back) strange, but true.. since that time, i have seen many things.

  hi fat cat,

  hidden adgenda?......hmmmm..........ya... but only to accomplish their goal of looking like they are god's organization.

  become suspicious without paranoia?....... lets see, for alot of non members, it was after the date line show.

  for the ex jws, ....... like me, //// i saw enough, first hand, to know that the gov body is devious....... and they always, ALWAYS, cover their tracks....... i've even heard about elders sitting outside of an exmembers house, in a car, video taping them.
  but the exmember video taped them, sitting in a car, hahahaha,,,,,,, and they were arrested.

  precious was heatbroken...... she was never the same.

  it's been around ten years now, ...... and in the last few years, my nieghbor didn't have much time for precious anymore.
  so she started hanging around me, over here most of the time.

  i buried her just now,...... in my backyard, where she laid down and died.

  i hate death,...... it brings back memories of what 2 young beautiful people wanted....... love happiness......pets.

  goodbye precious......... i learned alot from you..... i wish i would have given you more love.

  Two Witnesses to WHAT !!!

  by jst2laws in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i have asked this question on another thread but want to bring it to everyone's attention.

  the wt society is trying to make it look as if they have always handled molestation aggressively and that very little change has been required, only 'strengthening' their policy over the years.

  two witnesses to separate incidents of the same kind of wrongdoing.

  the sweeping of it under the rug, doesn't iniciate with the elders,..... they are "advised" from the gov body to do it.
  an inexperienced elder would likely call the police.
  but their "rule" of "report all cases to the headquarters"......is what keeps the gov body on top of it all,,,,,,,,,, everytime a little girls is molested, because of written instructions from the gov body, the elders call headquarters........and the gov body invisibly take over...... instucting it all to be swept under the carpet for fear the media will get a hold of it.

  then the little girl is handed back over to the molester parent.

  hi lisa, i agree!
  and furthermore......... the gov body moniters boards like this.... it helps them prepare the articles that counteract the arguments that exmembers are using against them.

  ******* they would like to know about the really bad cases of elder abuse and rape and molestation,,,,,,,, so they can contact the elders involved and help them destroy the evidence.

  they don't want to hear about it in court, when it's to late to destroy the evidence in the case.

  thought i'd share some of my experiences with you all!.

  sister x, was somewhat of an enigma in the congregation, certainly a 'one-off'!

  allegedly she suffered from an 'illness' that incapacitated her at strangely convenient times!

  Thank you for the support

  by Erica in

  2. friends

  i can't find the words that would express how grateful i am for all the support, not only for all of you to back me on the dateline show but for my trial as well.

  i don't think i would have had the courage to go through the trauma if it wasn't for all your prayers and encouragement.

  dateline was a huge help for many and i know this because i have recieved quite a few calls, one from a current jdub who wants out for the safety of his 16 month old baby, i was so excited that he lifted the veil and saw it for the pure truth that it was.

  ericka, the cross was good!!!!
  non members who saw the show will come to the conclusion that you were a christian,....... and when jws focus on the cross and talk down about it, the general public will be appolled!!!!
  (as if the cross was the focus).....

  same with the long hair, if jws side against him because of his hair, in favor of a known pedohpile rapist, the gen public will be appolled!!!

  the show wasn't aimed at helping jws, it was aimed at the gen public, where the most results would be achieved.

  because of the publicity of the written poicy, some teenage girls who are being raped will go to the police, and yes, they will get disfellowshipped for "something" by the elders, but they will be "out" of the cult, and out of the reach of the rapist.......that's good.

  as far as little 5 yr old girls go, who are being made to @#$% daddy, every day, ....... "you don't have 2 witnesses"......go home with daddy now......... and the heat will be turned up because of all the publicity, so, daddy is going to be exra mad, and scared...... he might even want to get rid of the evidence. (the 5 yr old girl)

  gosh!......and we loved her soooo much!!!....... she was abducted!!!!
  i hope the police can find her!!!!!

  why do they sell kingdoom halls?

  because they are paid off, and they get "free labor" to build another one, a bigger one, worth way more money..... and while they are building it, they get alot of attention, and donations.

  if you got fee labor to build another house, wouldn't you sell yours, and and triple your investment?

  it's a business.
