I wanted to give an update on my niece

by Tameria2001 in

friends

about a month ago i had mentioned my niece who's jw parents kicked her out.

i let her know that she is welcome to my home if she wanted to come.

well, i found out through another relative that her jw parents (my sister) learned that i was more than happy to take in their daughter.

You shamed her Tameria good for you .I wonder how long she will be welcomed at their home.? You may very well have that opportunity to make that offer to her again or maybe she will feel that she could be more comfortable at your home than at her parents in a few weeks time.

I just had a quick browse on your first post about this and apparently she just doesn`t want to be a JW anymore and who could blame her ? So obviously they will be putting pressure on her to get back to meetings etc,and you will start believing again so on and so on.

So don`t be surprised if she does take your kind offer up and if she does try not to be the meat in the sandwich and let her find out abut TTATT with maybe just a few helpful hints along the way from you.

I hope everything works out fine for both you and your niece.

JWs closer to Islam than to Christianity.

by Lost in the fog in

ok, so i know that the following article is from a roman catholic church blogger, but i thought that his ratios and comparisons were very well set out, if anyone else is interested.

I find it interesting that the JW`s adopted the same Bible books as inspired as the Catholics and only excluded what the Catholics describe as Deuterocanonicals or Apocrypha ,the same as the Protestant religions.

And not all Christian religions have the same number of books in their Bible .

I want to try something new, any ideas?

by Tameria2001 in

normally when jws come to my door, i very quickly tell them i'm not interested in the jws.

and for about a year or so they don't come until that time passes.

well, they came by today, but this time i decided to not tell them to go away but had a nice conversation with the two that were at my door.

What about asking them to show you one scripture in the New Testament where Christians are instructed to witness about a God named Jehovah ?.....Just one (1 )

or

Where in the New Testament that explicitly states that Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah`s Kingdom ?

And in each of those cases where the actual word Jehovah occurs ?

The word/name Jehovah does not appear anywhere in their Kingdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Scriptures.

The word for word translation of the Greek into English.

The Children Act - New arrival on Netflix

by WinstonSmith in

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6040662/.

as her marriage crumbles, a judge must decide a case involving a teenage boy who is refusing a blood transfusion on religious principle.. i saw the trailer for this a long time ago and its subject matter immediately got me interested.

it has just been added the netflix catalogue here in australia and i am looking forward to finally watching it.. please, if you've seen it, no spoilers!.

I enjoyed the movie as a whole if you know what i mean ,I think its a big ask for film makers to really know what its like to be indoctrinated over many years as a Jehovah`s Witness and portray it how we ex JW`s would like it to be portrayed.

But I think they did a good job overall.

"Apostasy" was another good one .

"Worlds apart" another good one

If you haven`t seen them do yourself a favour.

Elders Know of Serial Killer & Told to Keep Quiet

by Sea Breeze in

.

smiddy3

road to nowhere ,

Didn`t you mean to say a murderer gets a resurrection and a pot smoker gets Armageddon ?

Anyhow ,shouldn`t law enforcement agencies ,police etc. be made aware of this letter of the G.B. of J.W.`s to the elders ,as this obviously applies all around the world .?

Maybe even Current Affairs / Foreign Correspondent TV programs could make good use of a letter like this for one of there TV programs. ?

I wonder if Angus Stewart & Justice Mclellan of the Investigation into Institutionalised Child Sexual Abuse Enquirey in Australia were aware of this letter and whether it would have made a difference in their findings about the religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses.?

For those of you who've watched the Witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that...

by My Name is of No Consequence in

for those of you who've watched the witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that the org was forced to make their database of abusers available to the courts.

if this database is as detailed and meticulous as it is claimed, how in the world could the org (in its present form) survive that?

assuming they don't go bankrupt after all of the new abuse claims, would they go underground, shut down the kingdom halls, stop the preaching?

smiddy3

Wasn`t there a judge somewhere that gave a court order for JW`s to release this data base & face an x amount of $ fine every week or so if they didn`t do so ? And that it is still in force ?

And the files that were handed over to Zalkins law firm from JW`s ,why cant he release these files to the judge that has imposed the fines on WT/JW`s if they refused to do so ?

Why cant Zalkin hand these files over to the Judge that requests them ?

What am I missing here ? it just seems like such a ridiculous situation to be happening.?

'The Witnesses,' Premiering Feb. 8 On Oxygen

by Tahoe in

jw
friends

not sure if this was posted before as i could not find it.. .

the two-night investigative special follows the stories of four former jehovah’s witnesses, as they recount details of the sexual abuse they endured during their time within the organization.

oxygen, the destination for high-quality crime programming, debuts “the witnesses” on saturday, february 8 at 7pm et/pt and sunday, february 9 at 7pm et/pt.

I`m not sure who I got part 2 from but whoever it was thank you ,it should be an eye opener for anybody who sits on the fence or doubts the extent WT/JW will go to avoid scrutiny or put someone from the G.B. on line to defend their faith.

They just fail to show up and defend themselves and this is Governing Body members I`m talking about who have the best possible chance to defend the faith on National Television and they wont show their faces.

Yet they expect the rank & file to go D2D and defend the faith ?

Where is the Leadership example ?
