  in south korea, draft resisters still go to prison.

  but now it’s a job.. a court ruled that conscientious objectors must be allowed to serve their country in other ways.

  There is some great words of wisdom for you to follow Scarlett _Martin given to you on this forum if you just take the time to absorb it all in without rushing in and doing something foolish like tossing yourself .That doesn`t solve anything and just adds grief to all those you never knew, who loved you.

  Believe me, it may sound like a clique , however its true that "time does heal everything" so do that give it time , and use the WT `s tact of using "Theocratic warfare" and use it against them to your advantage .

  Biden Voter Fraud Admission

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  he's either admitting that they are relying on voter fraud, or he's a decrepit senile old fart who's unfit to be president.. which is it?.

  did he also just claim that they committed fraud to get obama elected?

  what a joke.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma8a2g6ttp0.

  That`s very interesting about Covington Terry ,thanks for posting about him.

  He was certainly one of the most influential figures in the " History of Jehovah`s Witnesses " also.

  Would the person who hit the dislike button please stand up ? .........SERIOUSLY !

  Terry, Thank you for posting your experience and sharing it with us as it really shows what the WT/JW religion needlesly put so many young men / boys through in those years.

  Then changing their policy years later ,and I`ll bet you never got an apology or any compensation at all for what you and the many other young men / boys were put through.

  SHAME ON THEM

  Prime Minister of Australia announces intention to revoke Jehovah’s Witnesses charity status

  today, marking the second anniversary of the australian national apology to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, the prime minister of australia has announce in federal parliament the intention to place sanctions against the jehovah’s witnesses in relation to child sexual abuse.. quote from prime minister:.

  the royal commission [into institutional response to child sexual abuse], the [national] apology [to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse] and these yearly reports are about accountability: bringing the truth into the light ... we still have, reprehensibly, four institutions that have been named publicly and that have blatantly refused to join the redress scheme.

  they are jehovah's witnesses ... it's not acceptable.

  Jehovah`s witnesses have backed themselves into a corner now ,if they back down now and give in to the demands of the Government they will lose face among the R&F.

  If they stick to their guns and keep refusing to join the redress scheme they will be penalized by losing there charitable status and their tax exemptions.

  And public opinion will be aware of bad publicity that will hurt the organization

  Thanks barbara and Joe for this info.I `ll look forward to see how this plays out in a court of law .But i won`t hold my breath because the law can be an ass at times.

  However it is good publicity for Belgium`s to know what goes on in WT /JW religion.A good anti-witness.
