The Problems of Child Abuse
by Coded Logic ini think it's absolutely disgusting how the organisation has treated childhood victims of pedophilia and rape.
i think their "standards" of requiring two witnesses for belief is absurd.
i think how they try and quietly brush things under the rug in the back rooms of kingdom halls is completely despicable.

It is not the wt, or the Republican party, it is the Olympic organisations, democratic Parties, Catholic and non Catholic Churches, Show me one organisation that is not affected by this.
When this storm is over, at least where it can reach, it will be a better world for children. lessons learned standards changed.

How do cultural norms impact Witnesses throughout the world?
by optimisticskeptic inan easy example is beards.
i hear they're not unusual in places like europe, even on appointed brothers.
it also seems like they're becoming more accepted in more liberal parts of the states.

Attendents sit at the best seats
by Quarterback inwell it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.
last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.
it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.

I think they chose to pick on the hapless attendants so as to not offend the contributing members, who are really behind the arena real estate grabbing rush, paving the best seats with old literature, placed there by trained athletes not later than 8.01 am.
May be all, after reading about the attendants, will consider how selfish it is and dishonoring, to be so greedy in reserving choice seats. hours in advance, leaving the disadvantaged to pick up the degs.

Attractive Sisters: what are you lurkers thinking right now?
by pomo6780 indear lurkers, you won't be disappointed by this topic.
when i was in the org, there was a strict dress code.
no woman was attractive, and when i was a young witness child i was conditioned to believe every woman in the world must be ugly.

porno 6780: It is stupid to lust and go after married woman. man! but
The subtlety of the wt is , that it really is, in away, a delayed strip club. It is a giveaway for ladies to go to a beach, and reveal all in a bikini, or sleep with men before marriage!
The wt - imposed subtlety is, that you see the well adorned, but minimal - exposure package first, and only gradually, until the denouement* before the climax on the wedding night is the trip really over. (for a moment).-----* from the french word "nu"= naked
Woman get a special jolt in their first sexual experience. The blood - stained displayers of the wedding bed sheets are old fashioned, but not stupid. They have bet on a stable marriage with a bonded woman. Pimps get such a hold on their "stable" because they trap these young ladies into dependancy as virgins. The police often can not free these victims of human trafficking because they are, from day one, so emotionally bonded to their keepers.
Wt moral enforcement, stable of attractive, protected prospective mates, is their greatest attraction.
It is better to travel than to arrive!
ps: By all means go to a Spanish congregation, or Tagalog , look at the really vivacious beauties, and the family, mother, to get the whole picture.

by darkspilver inlooks like the wt are even reducing the video content nowadays...... no jw tv monthly broadcast for december 2017 - instead it is replaced with the 'gilead graduation part 1' programme.
issues with translation - apparently replacing the monthly broadcast with the hour long 'spiritual' part of the graduation means that the wt are able to translate it into more languages than before.. plus more.....

JW Lawyers and Heavyweights lying in court.
by freddo inin a recent canadian case i've seen (on line video in threads on here) the wt lawyer says that disfellowshipping isn't actual shunning but only a cutting off of spiritual association.
but what case is it and is there a transcript available on line?.
any other "good" examples from the point of view that it proves wt speak out of both sides of their mouths?.

faithnomore, You may have a point, because if recall right, the lawyer said: JWs, do not shun, he was not saying wt policy allows shunning.

You may PRETEND to care - in reality you are SELFISH!
by wannabefree inthat;s what my wife (and all jw's) gets to hear about us at the kingdom hall today, (hmmmm, i wonder if she'll raise her hand to answer this one) ... .
watchtower study ... today, apostates and others who create divisions in the congregation use “smooth talk and flattering speech.” (romans 16:17, 18) they may pretend to care about others, but in reality, they are selfish.. (the watchtower - study edition (simplified version) 10/17 page 4 paragraph 7).

selfish? # 10, apostates are selfish because they did not wait, like the apostles, plugging ahead without understanding.

Today's Watchtower did have some nice bits in it but hang on...
by Isambard Crater in...in the section where it said unselfishly loving people don't draw attention to themselves but do things anonymously, the thought came to me about why at the conventions do they announce "and now a talk from brother x who has served as an elder and pioneer for twenty years"?
some say it's encouraging but i have never felt that way..

# 16 On the seat saving stampede, at 8am, they gingerly sidestepped the big issue of the gold rush mentality of the new World crowd, and celebrated the few unselfish attendants that are content with just one isle seat and don't pave the front with old wts&As for the whole congregation.

punkofnice: I'm surprised they didn't ask for money in the middle of it.
they did, subtly. Paragraph 9. Ananias & Sapphira: dont just give a little, but give all, and shut up about it. You dedicated all ( the old song: "--take my silver and my gold--" ) you are a hypocrite if you do not fulfill that melodic vow. wow!
