a woman is suing a local congregation ("kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses, roy, utah, an unincorporated association"), individual elders and watchtower ny after, she claims, a judicial committee forced her to listen an audio recording of her own rape.
the trial court summarized the facts as alleged by the plaintiff as follows:.
at the time of the judicial committee, plaintiff was fifteen years old.
When the law allows religion to get away with these types of crime`s simply because of "Religion" then I believe the law is an ASS ,
There is a saying never to discuss religion or politics with your friends . Touchy subjects.
If the first Amendment protects religious freedom maybe it should have also included political freedom.
just saying.
yesterday i learned that helen reddie had passed away at 78 years old.two of her hits that she was famous for are "iam woman" and "angie baby" .
"i am woman" was taken up as the national anthem of the femminist`s movement.. i think she had a lovely voice and was a swell gal.. r.i.p.
helen reddy.
In the many tributes to her , I find it encouraging that both females and males were empowered by her song "I Am Woman" and to a lesser degree " Angie baby"

has anyone seen the 2017 movie apostasy?
set in britain, the story is about a family, a single mom and her two daughters, who are jehovah's witnesses.
i'm not going to give away too much of the plot, but holy moly!
in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.
i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .
what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.
Funny how Jehovah had cordial relationships with Satan for thousands of years where Satan could come and go as he pleased standing before GOD and discussing where he has been. Job 1:6 - 12
Jesus Christ certainly had good fellowship with Satan also spending 4o days & nights with him in the wilderness and as the scripture shows Satan was going to spend time with him at another time. Matt.4: 1-10
As for being a friend of the world didn`t Jehovah God set up that arrangement himself ? Rom.13: 1-7
the truth that leads to eternal life at a church rummage sale.
1968 printing and a 74 printing of god's eternal purpose now triumphing for mens good.
i know the truth book has some things in it that are a bit damning.
The "truth That Leads To Everlasting Life " along with a couple of other WT publications such as "From Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained " made it into The Guiness Book Of Records.Many years ago.
Because of suckers like me who went out and either sold them or gave them away to potential converts.
has anyone read: boyer, when time shall be no more.
prophecy belief in modern american culture?.
although it was written in 1994, it sounds interesting, and i would like to know what others think of it.. https://www.amazon.com.au/when-time-shall-be-more/dp/0674951298 (i reckon there is a spelling error in amazon's summary, where godas should read as god's).. thanks, doug.
I just looked it up Petra and I could only borrow it for 1 hour ,which I passed on.
you know you're a jehovah's witness when.... being offered a scholarship to a good university is considered a bad thing.. when you see a house you like you claim it for after your god kills the owner.. you recieve spiritual guidence from a bus driver and a window washer.. you're engaged to a person you only met 3 months ago.. your widowed mother is marrying a man she met at the convention who she's known for 2 weeks.. there's jehovah's witnesses meeting in your house on a saturday morning to talk about going out knocking on doors on a saturday morning.. a lie in on a weekend happens about twice a year.. you dont talk to your own parents/children because they have a different opinion about a magazine.. you're not quite sure what you're supposed to believe anymore.. when someone criticizes your a magazine you feel like you're being attacked.. your 3yo son owns a suit.. if you're not married by the age of 30 you're considered to be gay or something wrong with you.. (for girls) if you havent married the first or second person you've dated you're considered promiscuous or something wrong with you.. you get your scientific knowledge from a magazine written by people who've never been to college and have never actually read the source they claim to be citing.. you get excited if there's a storm or natural disaster.. you get excited when there's a terrorist attack.. you get excited when there's a pandemic.. your version of tinder is the lunch break at a convention.. your girlfriend dresses like her grandmother.. your grandparents, despite being in the same religion as you, died believing totally a different belief system..
When you get screwed over by a JW business man because ,business is business .
And I have heard that a number of times from brothers in various congregations.
Sad but true.
i've been waiting for someone to post this and i've haven't seen it yet, perhaps i overlooked it since i don't visit that often.. but here is the link to the discussion.
in it you will find letters and links to this new light.
whether it's true or not, please verify.. as of .
If I remember correctly the rank and file are not members of the organization they are only volunteers of their own choosing so the organization is not responsible for their actions.
But the fact that they are baptised into the organization ,doesn`t that make them members ?
