how do you say it where you are?
geehovah or jahovah?
If you've got a copy of the Watchtower Library on CD then go to the "Jehovah" entry in Volume 2, Insight in the Scriptures, and there in a little speaker icon like this...
Click on the speaker icon. The pronunciation of his name is different to everyday JW speak.
so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.
this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.
so today the gloves came off.
Great experience flipper. Gives me some ideas.
Hypothetically, I wonder what would happen in the same situation if the JW trolley preachers were actually approached by Candace Conti with the same information. However, Candace has been through enough and I would never want that from her.
[Edited to add]
I reckon that no members of the GB would ever man up to manning a trolley in a public place. They could never answer the questions, let alone the fear of being really filmed. Even the recent photo (see below) of Anthony Morris III and his wife going door-to-door "public preaching" was a set-up. Really a JW cameraman behind the door or a real householder. But that's the way it is in JW-land.

Adelaide Catholic
Archbishop Philip Wilson has been charged with concealing child sexual abuse.
The charges relate to Hunter region paedophile priest Jim Fletcher, who worked with the Archbishop in NSW in the 1970s.
Wilson announced in a statement he would take leave from his position after being notified of the charges filed against him by NSW Police.
NSW Police said its operation, Strike Force Lantle, launched in 2010, investigated allegations of concealment of serious offences related to child abuse by clergy "formerly and currently attached to the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese of the Catholic Church".
They alleged that Wilson, 64, concealed a serious offence.
He is due to appear in the Newcastle Local Court on April 30.
Wilson is a former Bishop of Wollongong, where he was known as a "healing bishop" for his handling of child-abuse scandals.
Wilson to 'vigorously defend innocence'
Wilson issued a statement acknowledging the charges filed against him by police.
"The suggestion appears to be that I failed to bring to the attention of police a conversation I am alleged to have had in 1976, when I was a junior priest, that a now deceased priest had abused a child," he said.
The statement said that the allegation was first brought to his attention last year and he "completely denied" it.
"I intend to vigorously defend my innocence through the judicial system and I have retained senior counsel, Mr Ian Temby AO, who will represent me in respect of it," Wilson said in a statement.
In the statement he referred to his participation at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in NSW and SA and said his evidence at the hearings was indicative of his efforts to "best-practice child protection measures".
"I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm my commitment to dealing proactively with the issue of child sexual abuse and the implementation of best-practice child protection measures which I have pioneered since becoming a bishop," he said.
Important day for Australia: child abuse victim
A victim of Fletcher, Peter Gogarty, said he felt overwhelming relief that a police investigation had resulted in charges against the Catholic Archbishop.
"I think it's a very, very important day for Australia, that we've now had someone in such a high position charged," Mr Gogarty said.
"I hasten to add, everyone in this country is entitled to the presumption of innocence, but...the fact that our legal system has decided to charge someone this senior is enormously significant."
Pat Feenan's son Daniel was abused by Fletcher and said it had been a "long and hard journey" for him.
"I'm just very proud of my son and I'm proud of all the victims who have had the courage to stand up," Ms Feenan said.
"The fight's not over, the journey's not over, I'll keep working to support victims."
there is a rumor going around that watchtower is on lockdown right now and the news media parked outside, circling like vultures every since the abc nightline report, is there anyone that can verify it true or not?.

reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?
i bet its very minimal.
naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.
It's quite possible trolley cart preaching will outlive the current generation of JW preachers.
It's also possible that trolley carts might evolve into Watchtower vending machines.
this is a repeat on cnn now.
john maclean a known child molester in the jw congregation.
he is still on the run.
Considering that the JW's knock on every door in the USA and Canada at least once every 4-6 months it's hard to believe they have never found him.
Of course if a JW had actually found McLean they would have reported it to the elders, who would have reported it to the branch office, who would have reported it to the Watchtower legal department, who would have reported it to ... well no one, as per the instructions of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses because there are no mandatory reporting laws for child sex offenders on the US Marshall's Most Wanted List.

i am working on a writing project.
just give me your opinion on this subject.
if you worked for your respective government and you were tasked with doomsday preparations, what would you decide to save for future generations?
You want creative writing on prepping for a doomsday event...
Step 1. Make for yourself a bunker out of wood of a resinous tree.
Engineering Notes for Bunker: Make compartments in the bunker, and cover it inside and outside with tar. Make it three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for the bunker, and complete it to the extent of a cubit upward. The entrance of the bunker should be in its side. Make the bunker with a lower story, a second story and a third story.
Step 2. Of every living creature of every sort of flesh, two of each, you will bring into the bunker to preserve them alive with you. Male and female they will be. Of the flying creatures according to their kinds and of the domestic animals according to their kinds, of all moving animals of the ground according to their kinds, two of each will go in there to you to preserve them alive.
Step 3. Stock the bunker with every sort of food that is eaten.
Step 4. Enter bunker.
Step 5. Ride out doomsday event. Usually forty days and forty nights.
over the years, i've come to notice that some of the friends will not touch the plate with the bread or the cup of wine ,when the emblems are being passed around.
i remember a row of 3 people told the brother to skip over them.
every year i have noticed this behavior.
i'm preparing for my exit after 4 years of de-programming myself from the cult (much help from here..thank you) been fading for as long as i can to keep decades of family and friends, but the moment the "real truth" is arriving soon.. i desire to make an intelligent defense for my actions and of course will never get to first base using any resource material that will shut down the process by my blind brothers and family members.. i have collected some resources on my own, but would appreciate help in the following.. 1) child abuse.
2) ngo un docs.
3) follow the money any public records of what the borg spends or invest our money on.
