Welcome everyone!

what can i add?
this says it all.. elder on stand is mute till prompted.. .
i guess i could encourage you to watch to the end and a guest commentary, lol..
I think this line of questioning is actually making Bowditch think. I get the impression it never crossed his mind that he should try to keep non-JW children safe. I think it has now.
And Beth-Hell will hang all these Australian elders out to dry.
i haven't married anyone in over a decade but i was the officiant for a wedding this past weekend.
this australian investigation is astounding to watch.. the elders clearly don't see child abuse as criminal, if a jw confessed to murder, the police would immediately be called.
yet child rape is a spiritual issue..... ridiculous.. this is what happens when 7 window cleaners lead a bunch of dangerously loyal, ignorant middle aged men ...... in managing 7 million people..
I am embarrassed to say that my grandfather brought this crap into our family, that my parents bought into this BS, and raised their kids in it. The good news is none of us kids accepted it. Some of my family members on my Mom's side are JWs. I wonder if they even know about this stuff being that they are in Canada.
This crap really pisses me off. I hope they get nailed to the wall. But they will use it as persecution because, after all, they are a cult.
i've thought and said too much to ever gain jehovahs forgiveness and love if i want to be a christian again.
i made a topic on my unforgivable sin and blaspemy of the holy spirit.. i feel saddness everyday having no relationship with god, no religion and fear of the afterlife.
even when i was kid i feared death and the end of the world.
rebel8, you are wonderful.
so today a friend recommended that i ask the witnesses about the news in australia.
i am in mexico, in a city called mazatlan.. two weeks ago i talked with some jw's on the cart about the septuagint and the different bible versions.
so we had had a decently amicable conversation back then (i have never admitted i was a jw).. so today i saw them again, same place, same time.
JWs are liars under the guise of 'Theocratic Warfare'. Their number one goal is to protect Jehovah and not let his name be dragged through the mud. The one elder from Candace's hearings said that the elders are not there as physical protectors but spiritual ones. Well, dickhead, if your physical well being is compromised, so is your spiritual well being. They are interconnected.
The cult mind set is strong with many JWs. With others, they know there are issues and things like this only help to awaken them further and assist with them drumming up enough courage to leave.
If god is real, why does he allow this crap to go on? Answer, there is no god. It's all men and their BS Patriarchy. And they can shove it up their a$$es!
steve2 initiated a discussion on how our former loving brothers and sisters are behaving, while engaging in the 'trolley work.
' (link: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/93590001/within-one-minute-jw-trolley-directs-me-jw-org ).
my own observations are the same as the posters report on steve2's thread.
The trolleys do remove the distasteful experience for the JWs of having a door slammed in their face or other negative interaction with a worldly though. This really leaves the onus up to the 'heathen' to come get the life saving message, removing the responsibility from the JWs for actively trying to save lives.
I suspect when results of very few to no publications being placed by these apathy carts/trolleys makes its way to Beth-Hell, some 'nu lite' or other instructions from the GB will be forthcoming.

i see satan is at it again....a human tooth found in france is dated as being 560,000 years old...obvious nonsense since humans have only been on this planet 6,000 years ago...how will people ever find "the troof" if he keeps doing this?.
http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jul/28/french-archaeologist-finds-tooth-dating-560000-years-tautavel?.
i actually kept track of all the evidence there is for the 6,000 years nonsense when i started my fade years ago but quickly gave up...far too much of it..
i think it would.
instantly.
in fact, i hope one day soon that we somehow encounter extraterrestrial life because i think there would be a wholesale rejection of the bible and any/all religious institutions.
Last week, the Kepler mission discovered another Earth-like planet, Kepler 452b, which is being deemed "Earth's bigger, older cousin" located about 1,400 light years from Earth in the habitable zone of a star similar to ours (aka a yellow dwarf). This brings the total number of confirmed planets to 1,030. Last year was Kepler 186f, 490 light years from Earth and very close in size to our planet in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star/sun. See the Kepler 452b briefing here:
Kepler 452b Briefing Materials
We now know that Earth-like planets located in the 'habitable zone' of stars do exist. The Earth is not a unique planet. We don't know yet if any of these harbour life but at least we know there is more than 1 Class-M planet in the universe so it is very possible there is or was life on these planets. I wish I could be alive when they find out. THAT would be so exciting.
