  What kind of errors in the Bible?

  by TheWonderofYou in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.

  most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.

  a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].

  How many Atheist organizations or irreligious organizations have been accused of the covering up child abuse?

  by jwleaks in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i don't know of any but would like some references if anyone does.

  of course not all atheists or irreligious people need to belong to an organization.. studies on the demographics of atheism have concluded that self-identified atheists comprise anywhere from 2% to 8% of the world's population, whereas irreligious individuals represent a further 10% to 20%.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/demographics_of_atheism.

  Phizzy - What would it prove if you could find an Atheist/irreligious Organization that had covered up Child Abuse ?
  Of course , I do not think you have phrased the Thread Title well.
  There are very few, if any Atheist Organizations, or Organizations that totally exclude the religious.
  What exactly are you trying to get at ?
  What is the point of this Thread ?

  Phizzy, the information is being collected, including any feedback they can get, for someone who plans to present it to the Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission. The subject of the thread title is "atheist organizations" and "irreligious organizations". The key points in the title is "have been accused of the covering up" of child abuse.

  disposable hero of hypocrisy - Sorry for the big paste, but this is from Wikipedia...

  disposable - Thanks for the Wiki link. I would imagine it is a safe bet that none of these organizations would have policies that come anywhere near the JW's in relation to the handling of child molestation within their group, let alone the "two witness" rule.

  cofty - What is an "atheist organisation"?

  cofty - The OP was something that I was asked recently. My guess was that an "atheist organisation" would have at least be registered under a law as a legal entity and at the least have an Articles of Association.

  ruby456 - thanks for the UN cover up link. I have just gone through the Wikileaks documents.

  CalebInFloroda - children generally do not join atheist organizations

  CalebInFloroda - good point.

  nicolaou - I myself have found the question challenging the more I go into it which is why I included by "atheist" and "irreligious" in the title and op. Of course child abuse would not stop if there was no religion but the vast majority occurs within religion, with the abuser claiming religious affiliation. All points aside, it's not the abuser that was the subject but rather the propensity of the organization to cover up.

  Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

  organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

  and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

  sir82 - Old timers like ... Barry ... at least were dignified and gave the appearance of competence.

  Lloyd Barry was a fraud and a sinner against the holy spirit, in the same manner that Geoffrey Jackson is a fraud and a sinner against the holy spirit. Both commenced taking the emblems for the Lord's Evening Meal on Nisan 13 and not Nisan 14 and therefore appointed themselves as holy ones and saints.

  GB Spirit directed writing - October 2015 Awake

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the awake oct 2015 is now up on jw org.. one article talks about young adults returning to their parents home and tries to give them some advice.. one of the highlighted comments are these magical words.

  <<remember, more important than what you do is becoming proficient at what you do.>>.

  i don't see how it's more important to become more proficient in that window washing job than working towards a more interesting and better paying job.
