  Interesting that the Catholic Commission set up to address this matter was made up a balance of men and women.

  JW Policy Regarding "Marking" From The Nov 2016 WT

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws will deny that local needs parts are often just a way to mark those in the congregation who are deemed to be "bad association" or who don't fall in line with the elders viewpoints.

  now, for the first time in a long time the wt discusses their marking policy and how it works in the nov study wt:.

  recall paul’s counsel regarding disorderly ones in the congregation.

  The key point and who the article is actually addressed to . . .

  "If you are aware of the situation described in the talk, will you take care to avoid socializing with such an individual?"

  So what about members of the congregation who are not "aware of the situation" and therefore will continue to socialize with such an individual?

  Once again the Watchtower decides not to inform those in the congregation who need to know.

  How Jehovah's Witnesses leaders hide child abuse secrets at all costs

  By Trey Bundy

  Reveal News

  December 10, 2016

  The leadership of the Jehovah’s Witnesses has boldly defied court orders to turn over the names and whereabouts of alleged child sexual abusers across the United States.

  Since 2014, courts have slapped the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ parent corporation – the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York – with multimillion-dollar judgments and sanctions for violating orders to hand over secret documents.

  The documents could serve as a road map to what are likely thousands of alleged child abusers living freely in communities across the country, who still could be abusing kids. The files include the names of known and suspected perpetrators, the locations of their congregations and descriptions of their alleged crimes.

  “I’ve been practicing law for 37 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” said attorney Irwin Zalkin, who represents victims of sexual abuse by Jehovah’s Witnesses. “They do everything to protect the reputation of the organization over the safety of children" . . .

  Wriggling Like A Worm On A Hook???

  just been reading this week's study article for the jws:.

  imagine that an experienced guide is leading you on a tour of a wondrous and beautiful city.

  the city is new to you and to those with you, so you hang on to the guide’s every word.

  Unfortunately if you want to leave the tour early the guards in the watchtower release the shepherds.

  Note how Vincent, a lawyer, describes that the pointlessness of life includes providing for one's children:

  Vincent, a lawyer, says: “A good secular career can provide a measure of satisfaction. However, I have found that much more is needed to gain happiness and contentment. Before becoming aware of the Bible’s teaching on the subject, I recall being struck by the sheer pointlessness of life—being born, growing up, getting married, working at a job to provide what is needed materially to raise one’s children, training them to follow the exact same life cycle, and finally getting old and dying.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, the bible is a fascinating book of fairy tales, so we move on..e. zolfagharifard, some guy states "humans will be very different creatures in just 1000 years from now due to climate change,artificial intelligence and genetic mutations are all set to transform our bodies in drastic ways.

  a mixture of biology and machine on the inside.

  this is only 1000 years from now, what the hell will humans look like in 100000 years????

  JWs, or JMs as they will then be known as, will still be here in a 100K years and in a million years. According to their December 756,896 CE issue of the e-zine The Worldtower, published by WorldTower Real Estate and Tax Haven Society, of which I have an advanced leaked copy, it says:

  "Evidently, when Elder-electus Tony Morris XXXIII re-wrote the holy passages in 20,036 he discovered that by adding zeros, which in ancient English carried no value, to the thousand year reign of his primus godfather, Anthony Morris III, it overlapped into a myriad-of-myriads of years. Yes, Jehovah's Morrisses rejoice and look forward to the return of Tony and his rulership from the Asgardia tax haven in the heavens."

  boy was i wrong!

  "...warm welcome . . . loving conern . . . kindness . . . warmly greeting them . . . help others feel at home."

  Qualities that JWs show, but are these qualities coming from the heart or coming from the pages of the Watchtower magazine?

  The articles mentions that the Watchtower have pulled in from three real estate sales deals:

  $65 million

  $340 million

  $375 million

  That is a total of $780 million
