Crooked Teeth
by Introvert 2 inwell 55 yo this summer times flies.. was in my late thirties when i started thinking about getting braces or some other treatment for my crowded teeth.
decided to put it off a few years later as 'the new system' ™ was right around the corner.
then went through a huge burn out depression and my teeth became a lesser priority.

I started using the invisalign transparent braces at 30 years of age. I wish I would have done it sooner. Treatment took a few years and a few thousand dollars, but it was totally worth it. I'm very pleased with the results.
The transparent braces are great for adults.

But the GB simply cannot go to jail because they cannot be charged with a crime someone else committed.
Thats like saying your boss can be thrown in jail because one of his employees robs a bank. It’s quite a silly thing to even entertain.
Did you read the comments right before yours?

No, I don’t run ANY webpage. My display name is merely a pseudonym, if that’s what you are trying to connect.
Oh ok, there is an individual affiliated with mentioned blog who happens to be named Bob as well. He also is a frequent poster on the JWTalk forums regarding the subject of this thread.

They are making assumptions about his character over at jwtalk, just from looking at his picture:

The Problems of Child Abuse
by Coded Logic ini think it's absolutely disgusting how the organisation has treated childhood victims of pedophilia and rape.
i think their "standards" of requiring two witnesses for belief is absurd.
i think how they try and quietly brush things under the rug in the back rooms of kingdom halls is completely despicable.

This was NOT consent:
You are right, it is not consent. There was no rape though. It should be properly labeled sexual misconduct or abuse or assault.

has now fully endorsed someone who dated and raped 15 year old girls
In all fairness, there are no allegations of rape against him from any 15 year old. Only one of the accusers claims it went beyond kissing to a point where he "guided her hand to touch him over his underwear", but upon complaining he took her home. She was 14 when the alleged incident took place. That would be a felony if true; however, there are legitimate questions regarding some of her claims. The other accusers claim he pursued them romantically while young (16-22 years of age), with no sexual encounters.
Also worth noting that the age of consent in Alabama is 16

No surprise if there's a bit of a spike this year in baptism/publisher numbers with all the political turmoil. The constant narrative in the news feeds right into JW's fears.

Please explain the Watchtower's "Ransom" for me
by Doug Mason inaccording to the watchtower:.
who received the ransom payment?.
why did the ransomer need to be paid?.
-

Sanchy
I'll take a stab at it. Here's how I understood JW Ransom nonsense:
Who received the Ransom payment?
Jehovah
Why did the Ransomer need to be paid?
Jehovah's perfect sense of justice required that only perfect blood can make up for Adam's sin.
Who was Jesus sacrificed to?
I guess Jehovah
Who was being held captive and by whom?
We humans were held captive by sin and thus death
Whom did the Ransomer release?
Released us from the slavery to sin
