the programme is at 10.30 gmt and is a channel 4 dispatches special about child abuse in a religious community.
i think this is concerned with a case within the jewish religious community here.. i think we all in the u.k, and anyone else who can access it, should watch it , and then perhaps many of us can e-mail the programmes makers and highlight the jw problem.
the jewish religious community is probably only about twice the size of the u.k jw's, about 266, 000 identified as jewish in a religious sense in the 2001 census.
So far they have secretly filmed a senior rabbi tell an abuse victim that he must not, under any circumstances, talk to the police.
In his words "we are dealing with it".
Another rabbi who is appalled by this covering up has explained that to go to the police will result in the rest of the community persecuting you.
It's revealing that the rabbis are conducting their own internal investigation into the abuser who incidently is now working in a school.

i've always thought about this but have never received an answer on how the wbts explaiend the phenomenon.... to my understanding, every member of the wbts had the heavenly hope...however, by 2 classes were created...the heavenly, and earthly hope.... does anyone know the number of jw's as of that famous assembly of 1935 where the earthly hope was revealed and imposed?.
what is the wbts explanation for the thousands of jw's who had heavenly hope now all of a sudden have the earthly hope?.
this leads me to one conclusion...how dare this or any other organization determine what your hope or believe should be...shame on them.

help, i am looking for any and all wts quotes on doctors being used by satan when recommending blood.. .
Again, not the best...
*** w88 5/1 pp. 17-20 pars. 8-19 A People Walking in Jesus’ Footsteps ***
8 Antonietta lives in Italy. About eight years ago she was very sick, and her blood count was so low that doctors insisted that transfusions were needed to save her life. She refused and was opposed by both doctors and relatives. Even her two little boys pleaded: “Mama, if you really love us, take the blood.” But Antonietta was determined to remain faithful, and happily she did not die.
19 As the above experiences demonstrate, the spiritual blessings enjoyed by God’s people are often accompanied by tangible benefits. For example, by abstaining from smoking, by living moral lives, and by respecting the sanctity of blood, they may avoid falling victim to certain diseases. Or because of living in harmony with the truth, they may benefit in an economic, social, or domestic way. Any such tangible benefits are viewed as a blessing from Jehovah, and they prove the practicalness of Jehovah’s laws. But the possibility of gaining such practical advantages is not in itself the main reason for obeying God’s laws. True Christians obey Jehovah because they love him, because he deserves their worship, and because doing his will is the only right thing. (1 John 5:2, 3; Revelation 4:11) It is Satan who contends that people serve God solely for selfish benefits.—See Job 1:9-11; 2:4, 5.

Not briliant but here's one.

Have a Right View of God’s Mercy
THE doctor was kind and very concerned. According to his best judgment, his patient desperately needed an operation in order to save her life. When she hesitated and raised the matter of blood transfusions, he was surprised. When she explained that for religious reasons she could not consent to an operation that involved a blood transfusion, he was thunderstruck. He racked his brains for a way to help her. Finally, he thought he had found one. He said: “You know, if you don’t accept a blood transfusion, you’ll die. You don’t want that, do you?”
“Of course not,” said his patient.
“But, seemingly, if you accept one, you will go against your religious beliefs, which are also important to you. Well, here is my suggestion. Why not accept a blood transfusion and thus save your life. Then confess to God that you have sinned, and repent. In that way, you’ll be restored in your religion also.”
The well-meaning doctor thought he had found the perfect answer. He was aware that his patient believed in a merciful God. Surely, this was a proper occasion to take advantage of God’s mercy! But was his suggestion as reasonable as it sounded?

The apostle Peter wrote: “In this fact you are greatly rejoicing, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been grieved by various trials, in order that the tested quality of your faith, of much greater value than gold that perishes despite its being proved by fire, may be found a cause for praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 1:6, 7) Because we are imperfect and living in the midst of Satan’s world, we will constantly be faced with tests and temptations.
regarding the governing bodys new light relative to matthew 24:45-47, anointedjw.org recently said the following:.
this new light certainly poses a problem for the governing body.
perhaps this is another reason why they have not yet published a sober and scriptural xplanation of this new light.
AnnOMaly has it right - I didn't explain it well.
To add to AnnOMaly's post:
in 1919 Jesus appoints a FDS to feed the household.
Still future, Jesus inspects the FDS. If they have been faithful etc, Jesus appoints the FDS over all his belongings.

Plus, we're not meant to call it the 'society' anymore.
Latest letter from HQ says we should refer to it as the 'organisation'.

writing and speaking is all about communication.. if we are casually engaged the level of precision vanishes.
simple ideas=simplified language.. but, as we attempt to convey accuracy, specificity and numerical precision--what then?
without a clear standard is proper communication headed for extinction?.
I'm in favour of correct spelling.
Try to google (or do a web site search) for something, and if it's spelled incorrectly you will never find it.
The rules Terry mentions are simple, primary school stuff.
There's a difference between spelling badly because you're lazy, and spelling badly because you're uneducated.
Get an education and spell correctly, or stay happy knowing that the internet doesn't work as well for your poor search terms as it does for those who can spell.
