  Thanks for the condolences friends, there is no way she could attend the funeral if she wanted to as the state of NSW separates them .

  I`m proud of my D.I.L. as she puts her own health on the line as a pharmacy assistant every day.

  Last week my D.I.L. did ring her father and spoke with him.

  The only other time they contacted my D.I.L. previously was to tell her, her grandmother whom she had a good relationship with had died .

  She has never been DF nor has her husband my son, ever been DF ,they just decided the religion was not for them hence the shunning .

  And they both could tell stories about her siblings leading double lives .

  These people have no natural affection and are just so cold blooded.

  As a JW i could never see me acting the same way they have.Words fail me .

  To be honest when this first conviction came down I didn`t see how on the evidence that was provided he could have been convicted the way he was .

  Their definetely was an element of doubt about the case he was tried on.

  However having said that I think and this is my own opinion he was convicted on what has been brought out how he was a friend of a known serial sex offender in the Catholic religion and he was in a position where he could move around priests that had a problem with abuse of children ,and he was in the thick of it in the Ballarat area where abuse was rife at the time ?

  It will be interesting to see if other accusations will now be levelled at cardinal Pell either civil or criminal now that this particular case is now closed for good.

  Evidence of WT bad intent - How they handled changing the meaning of "porneia"

  by AlainAlam in

  sorry, long post :) i'm considering evidence that at least at some point, the gb/watchtower had bad intentions.

  i would like to share the following: *** w74 11/15 p. 703 questions from readers ***do lewd practices on the part of a married person toward that one’s own mate constitute a scriptural basis for the offended mate to get a divorce?there are times when lewd practices within the marriage arrangement would provide a basis for a scriptural divorce.. based on this, some jw chose to divorce.

  but then:*** w83 3/15 p. 30 honor godly marriage!

  Is that why they never identify the author of any of their publications by name ? Their books or publications would now be rejected because so and so is no longer a JW or in fact has become an apostate ?

  Jehovah`s Witnesses have been living on the edge for the past 140 years forever looking at every negative thing going on in the world and saying to themselves this is it ,this is it ,this is it.

  Honestly have they ever been right about anything they have predicted in their books ?

  "Your Will Be done on Earth"?

  "Babylon The Great has Fallen" ?

  "Revelations Grand Climax " ?

  The short answer is no.

  Its a religion based on FEAR ,fear of the GT ,fear of Armageddon ,fear of displeasing Jehovah,and above all

  FEAR of not following the directions of the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses.

  mia was almost 8 and she was the sweetest dog who was my girlfriend’s constant companion.

  she had a wonderful disposition and was just a source of joy to everyone who would meet her.. she was brought to the vet on thursday and seemed to have digestive issues.

  the vet gave her medicine and said it would make her sleepy.

  Here in Australia I believe "not for profit organizations / charities " can apply for Govt. assistance .I would hate to think that the JW/WT religion applies and gets it ?

  But knowing what leeches and parasites they are I`m sure they will put their hand out.
