  so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

  so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

  Take a look again at your first post. It was full of untruth. Sure Heidenau happened. But believing everything in the press like you do is stupid, utterly stupid.

  Again look at what you said, look at what you said, and compare that with the facts, no massive riots in the cities, no massive anti-refugee protests. Like I said earlier Ferguson does not mean the whole of the USA is on fire or rioting does it. And what Sofia Lose mentioned, those nations were destabilized by the USA and Europe has to deal with the mess. But in saying that I have a tremendous amount of respect for the American people, just your foreign policy sucks. So all you Americans do not take offense.

  Seizing anything is basically against the German constitution, unless there is a very good reason. Using underused facilites like containers, gymnasiums that are publicly owned to house these unfortunate people is certainly not the same. Buildings that are privately owned but not being used, are only used with permission and the owners are financially compensated, again not the same as seizing. To say there are wide spread anti-refugee riots is real bullshit, there are very few anti-refugee gatherings almost all are non-violent. To say there is wide-spread rioting in Germany is like saying there was rioting throughtout the USA due to what happened in Ferguson.

  The fact is Kaik is twisting facts and using lies, just like the JW GB.

  In Germany it is going so far, that the government will size private properties that are not used by the owners to house the refugees. The craziest country there is Germany and France. In Germany it is going so far, that the government will size private properties that are not used by the owners to house the refugees. There are widespread anti-refugee riots in Germany, but censorship is...

  Where the f*** did you get this shit from.
  I read your first post on this, and you are talking a load of bollocks, I live in Germany, have done for that past 30 years, what you portray is far from the truth... Liar.

  A Judicial experience.

  by John Aquila in

  2. experiences

  when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

  the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

  the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.

  how much money do you think the watchtower will have to dish out for this scandal in australia?

  Well I hope the amount they have to payout is sufficient for them to have to put pressure on the R&F to donate more, this will cause more to see the cult for what it is.

  But I do fully agree with Blondie, no amount of money can compensate for the damage done.

  the cognitive dissonance amongst jws has never been more obvious to me then what i just experience in the last 5 min.

  long story short i had a phone conversation w/my mom about some things and i mentioned to her to look up what has been going on with their beloved organization in australia.

  brother geoffrey jackson of the holy governing body was caught lying numerous times about several subjects including disassociations & shunning.

  "This Brother Jackson you speak of is probably not an active JW."

  This maybe true. Have you seen his Field Service report?

  For the 3 years leading up to my leaving, I voted no to almost every resolution, which lead to a Gestapo style interrogation by 2 elders. I stuck my gound, my reason for saying no every time was that fact that these resolutions were pounced on the congregation, and nobody was given any real time to think about these things and ask serious questions.

  I did talk with some of the congregation about my stand, and almost every person said they were afraid of the elders if they voted no.
