  I wouldn`t be at all surprised if that was the case Petra ,their are a few Televangelists that do alright and they would start with a core base to build on as the R&F will swallow anything the GB says.

  I don't want to be a Jehovah's Witness anymore, but I'm scared of losing my family- Story On Australia's ABC

  by fulltimestudent in

  the abc is a government owned media group, and today's web-page included this story:.

  its formatted as answers to specific questions, and in response to the question, "why did you stop believing" comes a story we hear much too often.. the special thing about the story this time is that likely millions of australian will read her story.. https://www.abc.net.au/life/i-dont-want-to-be-a-jehovahs-witness-anymore-or-lose-my-family/11885098.

  the article also reminds us that australians are giving up on religion in increasing numbers.. quote: "it seems australians are increasingly giving up on god — or at least religion.. on the last census in 2016, nearly a third of australians (30 per cent) reported they had 'no religion' — the highest number of people ever to do so, and up 11 per cent on 2006.".

  on 14 november 2018, australian-based barristers david bennett ac, qc and james gibson presented to watchtower australia and the jehovah’s witnesses organisation their commissioned review and opinion on the findings and recommendations of the royal commission into the institutional responses to child sexual abuse as it related to jehovah’s witnesses.. .

  the review entitled “review of the commission’s investigation into jehovah’s witnesses and its ensuing reports” was divided into four parts, as follows:.

  part one considered the history and powers of royal commissions in general.. .

  David Bennet also defended Scientology and was instrumental in getting them recognised as a bona fide religion.

  Is it fair and reasonable to dismiss his legal opinion just because it was commissioned by Watchtower?

  Yes ,is it fair and reasonable to dismiss his legal opinion just because it was commissioned by Scientology ?

  Where is it written?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some time ago i came across this quote claiming to be from a watchtower publication;.

  1953 –“bible chronology also fixes the time for christ's second presence and the assuming of his right to rule as at 1914; this date was published in the watchtower as early as 1879, 35 years before 1914.” (tscp 3).

  this is of course misleading, for while the date was indeed published in watchtowers from the very beginning, christ’s second presence and his becoming king were not assigned to that year until many years after (1933 and 1922 respectively, to be precise)..

  The Watchtower /Governing Body /Jehovah`s Witnesses are notorious for re-writing their own history .

  In other words lying about their past statements.

  And to quote their own words that they apply to others and in this case applys to them John 8:44

  "You are from your father the devil......He did not stand fast in the truth,because truth is not in him.when he speaks the lie he speaks according to his own disposition because he is a liar and the father of the lie.

  And when JW/G.B.W.T. lie about their past history they show who their God really is.

  I know there is a North Pole and a South Pole ,because I have been told there is in school. I havent been there to either Pole so I can`t verify it.

  I`m a skeptic now because I used to believe everything in the WT until I found out it was all lies .

  Welcome to the forum R1001 , your poem was bloody long but I got to the end ,and there was a lot to commend it ,a few home truths and it certainly had a message in it.

  Tell us a little about yourself (without divulging too much that would identify you ) Do you see yourself as a poet ?

  or is it just a hobby ? are you a teenager ? What has been your experiences with the JW`s and what do you hope to acheive by joining this forum ? Their is a wealth of valuable information on here about the JW religion that is not available at a KH so feel free to ask anything you want .

  And as I said welcome R1001

  And the Jehovah`s Witness religion here in Australia has still not signed up to the Redress Scheme and there is no indication they plan to do so in the near future.

  I was made aware of this today from the Govt.site.
