in norway, the ombudsman of children s welfare intervened and a lot of fuss were made when it was made clear that jws endorsed corporal punishment in their publications even though it was banned by law.

it was even mentioned in the national news.

the coordinator was even interviewed on tv and the day after it was proven from the wt indexes that he had been lying.... i remember it was very embarrassing.

ok, first off, please don't shoot the messenger here.

the dateline show on jws hiding pedophiles was one of several "defining moments" in my process of questioning "the truth".

it disgusted me.

when we by it, it was a blessing from jehova, now it was to bigg and to expensive, as i understand it the gb gave decide this, our country was to small to have so bigg and expensive establishment.. .

third witness & scholar,.

i am sure that given your sneering remarks in recent months you know that many, though not all, who post to this board are agnostic / atheists or have 'lost their faith' in the bible.

i am inviting you to present a defence of the bible in order to strengthen the resolve of the many jw's who read this board anonomously.
