the following is a conversation i had with my pimi father regarding a news segment on tv dealing with csa.
joe: that’s terrible the incidences of csa happening in the community.
dad: yes it is.
Well Satan is in control of this world,
How does that coincide with what Romans ch.13 say about the superiour authorities of this world and how this is God`s arrangement and to take a stand against this arrangement is to take a stance against God.?
what the hell are you trying to say?
there.........i'm finally getting this off my chest.
i see so many posts where instead of spelling the words, the poster uses letter abbreviations.
I`ll try to remember that carla not just for you but others also..
OK happy dad ,WTHAYTTS = ( what the hell are you trying to say ) yes ? and i`m an 81 year old fogey too,but OK point taken .
has anyone heard this?
ive been told multiple ex jws have confirmed it but no one seems to kow their names so im still skeptical..
Book em Danno

They made an announcement a while back telling brothers NOT to send letters to the branch expecting them to send them forward to brothers in prison, because there is “no provision for this”.
But there are no brothers or sisters in prison ,because if they were true Jehovah`s witnesses ,they would not be in prison , that`s why there are no Catholics in prison today.
they never get disgruntled and leave, they never abuse children, they never sleep around or steal.
because if they were a true jehovah's witness they wouldn't do that, and if they do something wasn't right with them to begin with.
anybody else heard this "logic"?
That`s why there are no Catholics in prisons because if they were true Catholics they wouldn`t be in prison,right ?
see https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/06/16/poll-atheists-overwhelmingly-oppose-the-death-penalty-most-christians-favor-it/ .
i am an atheist and i disapprove of the death penalty.
i remember michael dukakis, when he was a usa presidential candidate, saying i he was opposed to the death penalty - even for rapists and murderers.
Serial killers ,rapists who murder their victims ,paedophiles who kill kids ,etc,etc.
i`m in favour of the death penalty for these people who commit these crimes.
However I do see a need for alternative solutions for jailing non violent ,petty crimes committed by one timers ,whereby habitual criminals still need to serve time in jail.
1. when individuals leave the organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that god is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work.
when people leave another christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.. 2. when a christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie.
when a jehovah's witness lies, he is proving his loyalty to jehovah and fulfilling his sacred obligation to engage in spiritual warfare.. 3. during times of rapid growth the organization claims this is evidence of gods approval as he "speeds it up in his own time".
Or ...speaking with a forked tongue ....speaking out of both sides of their mouth .

There is no reason for the media to mention their religion .It is not normal practice for the media to mention the religion of anyone who commits a crime isn`t that so ?
The fact that a long time member of this board verifys they are JW`s is good enough for me.
i live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.
What happened to the "Ark of Salvation" Jehovah`s protection for the faithful in troubling times ?
What is this with "Go Bags" anyway ? Where are they going to go ? If the GT is going to happen all at once around the world ?
