  WBTS goes to Court of Appeal (Charity Commission investigation)

  by Mephis in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  after a number of high profile cases where both children and survivors clearly weren't adequately protected, the charity commission here in the uk launched an investigation into the wbts as a whole here in britain.

  the main concerns are around the child safeguarding policies being inadequate.

  wbts have fought every step of the way so far.. wbts have been to the high court, who told them to complain to the proper tribunal.. wbts have been to the proper tribunal, who told them that too darn right there were suitable grounds for the charity commission to want to investigate their inability to protect children.. and now the wbts have gone back to the court of appeal to demand that the charity commission inquiry be halted.. i hope the court of appeal tells them that, yes, they too need to have proper safeguarding measures for children and to get on with co-operating with the investigation.. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/charity-commission-defends-its-investigation-into-jehovahs-witness-charity-in-the-court-of-appeal.

  i got baptized later in life.

  i was around 21, i had left and went out into the world should of listen to my gut back then, but instead i disowned myself and came back into the fold.

  before i could get baptized, the elder who studied with me said i needed to get rid of everything that was contaminated by this world: music, books & clothing,everything.

  A Pentecostal schoolmate gave me a NIV version of the Bible. Since Pentecostals were viewed as likely demonized, my father burned it.

  dear brothers:.

  we are pleased to inform you that a new series of short videos will be produced to emphasize the acceleration of the worldwide work of jehovah’s witnesses.

  Again, I see Isaiah 60:22 applied to the "acceleration of the worldwide work" rather than in former times the increases in average publishers. Busy work may be increasing, but it doesn't yield any results of people coming in.

  jehovah's witness door to door pamphlets are actually alright.

  and their religion isn't that bad either.

  This is what is misleading about cults: outsider doctrine vs insider doctrine.

  Outsider doctrine is very benign by nature. People are easily seduced by it.

  I agree with one comment which told the writer to go back to journalism school!

  Who am I? - How to find the well lived life after undue influence

  by Luther bertrand in

  2. medical

  i was added fairly recently to the aawa network (thank you richard e. kelly ) and have been a lurker/fader for many years.

  the ex-jw community, from a far, has offered me so many ways to help go through my own thinking while awakening and working through my own crisis of conscience.

  however, i do have a critique of our community.
