  "Jehovah may in our best interests allow time to pass before his response to our prayers becomes evident … Fulfilling all our requests right away would distort the proper relationship between us and him."

  Joel, Good background references can be found on this forum HERE.

  All posts are in order of when they were last posted, i.e. the most recent first. The posts go back 15 years, such as this one relating to Australia:

  A Wollongong judge yesterday launched a scathing attack on the Jehovah's Witness congregation at Balgownie, accusing elders of failing to report child sex abuse.

  Back in the Basement

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  looks like the faithful jws are back in the basement, the oct 15th wt has this image on page 9. but now the lights have been turned out!

  i guess the persecution is really kicking in if the electric company has shut off their electricity, or the jws are really, really paranoid that the government is gonna get them if they have the lights on!.

  only one guy is smart enough to use his tablet (far right), the rest of the jws are old school, using a lantern to read their bibles in the dark!

  The official Watchtower description of the picture is:

  In an area where their work is restricted, Jehovah’s Witnesses hold a meeting in a dark basement.

  Interesting the all encompassing breadth of ethnicity in the very small group of JW's. Such an ethnic mix of JW's, and the styling of clothing, rules out nearly all present countries "where their work is restricted" including Central Asia, much of the Middle East, parts of Asia and North Korea. However, the inclusion of an entire Asian ethnic family with children limits the potential country even further, if not their own country then a country that would accept an Asian ethnic family, not being migrant workers, where the work of JW's is also restricted to the point of meeting in a "dark basement". Further the Revised New World translation is only available in printed form in a limited number of languages (at present it isn't even available in German, not even online) thereby limiting the nationalities of those present even further.

  If I was to guess I would have to say the country is Borghistan.

  WT October 15, 2015 - Don't believe Apostate Lies

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the last article in this new wt, shows me that the organization is dealing with much information that is damaging them.

  i am sure that the many recent lawsuits are being noticed by the r&f.. here are some gems from that article, titled the naive person believes every word.

  we must be very selective about what we consider worthy of our attention.

  Interesting that the cover features an image of a field service group in Australia given that the Child Abuse Royal Commission announced this week that they will be investigating the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Australia in relation to the handling of child abuse.
  
  

  [Quote from WT] - "And what should you do if you find slanderous news about Jehovah’s organization on the Internet? Such material should be firmly rejected. Some feel that they must bring it to the attention of others to get their opinion, but all that does is propagate the malicious information. If we feel troubled about something we see on the Internet, we should ask Jehovah for wisdom and speak to mature brothers about it."

  
  "...remember that love is not unduly suspicious; nor is it naive or gullible. Above all, love refuses to believe malevolent insinuations about Jehovah’s organization or lies about our brothers that are circulated by people who are slaves to “the father of the lie,” Satan the Devil."

  Note the qualifiers 'slanderous', 'malicious', 'malevolent', 'lies'.

  2. child-abuse

  saw this in the paper today:.

  the jehovah's witnesses church in australia is the latest religious group to come to the attention of the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. the child sex abuse royal commission will hold a public hearing into controversial christian group the jehovah's witnesses, next month.. the inquiry, to be held in sydney, will hear from people who were allegedly sexually abused within the jehovah's witnesses church in australia.. it will examine how the jehovah's witnesses church and its company, the watchtower bible and tract society of australia, responded to claims of child sexual abuse within the organisation.. a victorian inquiry into how churches handle child sex abuse claims has previously taken submissions from former jehovah's witnesses who alleged instances of paedophilia, sexual assault, blackmail and death threats.. the organisation has 64,000 active "disciples" in australia but has also been described as a cult.. jehovah's witnesses believe their church is the one true religion and all others are wrong.

  they are among a number of religious groups which have been examined by the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse including the catholics, anglicans, australian christian churches and the salvation army.. the jehovah's witnesses australian headquarters has been contacted for comment about the inquiry which is scheduled to begin on july 27.. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/nsw/jehovahs-witnesses-to-appear-before-sex-abuse-royal-commission-20150622-ghue73.html.
