jw-struggle is under attack by the elite team of hacking pioneers, code name facade!
their mission is to rid the organization of the "undesireable class" of people!.
facade was used during the great rebellion of 1977-1981 by eliminating any free-thinking christians.

"shepherd the flock" book - page 38 - chapter 3 par.20 ........ (talking about disqualifying servants and elders) 20. if the sin occurred before he was appointed as an elder or a ministerial servant, the elders will need to take into consideration the fact that he should have mentioned this possible impediment to his being qualified when elders interviewed him just prior to announcing his appointment.
moreover, the nature of the sin may reflect greatly on his qualifications to serve.
for example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for many years.-w97 1/1 pp.
If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong, but in the Shepherding the Flock book have some referenced articles in those paragraphs that discussed child abuse of a sexual nature? If this is so, it would seem that the child abuse talked about in this part of the STF elders book was not talking about spanking too hard.

fyi just saw her latest youtube vid.

I agree with De Wandelaar,.
IF your goal is to help other JWs get out and you realize that a lurking Jw is teetering on edge of being able to see these videos, WHY in the world would you constantly slam them from visiting your videos?
I know that she is repsponding to some goofy comments on her blogs, but would not taking a caring approach to answering these comments with logical reasons as to why THEY are making these replies as there is the "confirmation bias' theory etc,..
I say come back with them in a educational stance to possibly help someone. I do realize that there are some of the Jws that will never get out and will continually be there making stupid comments, but there are also some that are doubting and the last thing that they need to see is something like this.
I commented awhile back asking why in the world would a youtube channel EVER state that the viewer, if a Jw, should not be here watching this and it is against the rules of the Gb.

an example on how the wt gets things out of proportion.
this is all we know about dinah's "friends" from the bible: .
"and dinah the daughter of leah, which she bare unto jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land" (ge 34:1).. wt conclusion: .
I could never understand why Dinah would go over to another tribed to get raped. There were laws about being raped within the Jweish system of things, right? So does that not mean that since there were laws about rape that it must have been more than a infrequent experience.

i'm tired of hearing people grovel before their "benevolent" creator.. recently i was listening to a jw relative express regrets over their rebellious life-style when they were young.
then came that phrase:.
"i'm so greatful for jehovah's undeserved kindness and that he can accept me with my sinful past.".
Im just waiting for somone to tell me,...
"You don't deserve,... Jehovahs,.. Undeserved kindness!!" Me " Uh,,,, could you please say that one more time again as I had a hard time following that the first time"

it seems the finland branch has taken over the work from estonia, latvia and lithuania (see http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/offices/finland/).
Trouble is, when the heart and brain are all that's left, they can't function any more, either.
Wonderful thought isn't it?

so there is a rumor going around about 1914 and its possible demise!.
i cant help but think of the many and i say many divorces (not to make light of the matter) that jw families have had to deal with among their ranks over the years.. however, knowing how long the wtbts and 1914 have been together and the thought of mother (wtbts) doing away with her man (1914) after nearly 100 years of marriage is truly heart breaking for some.
many old-timers probably still think of the old days when they were like any other happy couple; inseparable, always holding hands, romantic and the like.
I can understand the need to just let 1914 drift away but with the recent 2010 change of the definition of the word "generation" being over lapping how does this not keep 1914 ever present as this is the starting point of the 1st generation that will over lap with the 2nd generation.

there can be no dual fulfillement of matthew 24 as claimed by the wt.
because jesus said to those standing infront of him "then there will be great tribulation not seen since the worlds beginning until now and would never be seen again".
part of the signs that those who were standing in fornt of him would see in their lifetime.

it was the national headquarters for the jehovah's witnesses for 30 years.. but the 7.5ha wattle downs property has now been sold to elim church and could soon house a new christian college.. jehovah's witness minister george gray says advances in technology mean the property is no longer needed for running the church's new zealand and south pacific activities which will now be administered from australia.. elim church bought the property for its growing south auckland congregation and volunteers helped transform the site in just a matter of days.. pastor boyd ratnaraja says the congregation moved in on a sunday straight after morning services at their much smaller weymouth rd premises.. "they have done a superb job of setting up," he says.. the church will hold services for its 450-strong congregation at its new home as well as running counselling sessions and operating an op shop and a weekly soup kitchen.. "we believe in reaching out to the community.
we want this to be a centre of hope.
"They wanted us to have it and they said it had nothing to do with us offering the highest price."
