let me explain :.
after the creation account of the bible, tribes of people and nations began to form and spread around the land.. god first chose noah and his family to protect them as he destroys all others in the flood.. and he ticks off everyone in babel ?
and then he favours abraham and his descendants as the nation of israel culminating in the jewish lineage to jesus the son of god.. he has never had any dealings with any other people`s or nation isn`t that some form of favouritism ?
I have to admire your faith and conviction Sea Breeze , but I just can`t beleive because someone is so sure of their faith and conviction ,then it must be true.
Because life has taught us that time and time again faith and beleif is no sure guarantee that what you beleive is true.
Have a good day.
anyone who works with children and does not report child sexual abuse should be prosecuted, the final report of a huge, seven-year inquiry has recommended.. this could be huge for elders in the uk.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63318342.
I should note that the recommendation regarding 'mandated reporters' would not include Jehovah's Witnesses as they are neither a regulated activity in relation to children, nor in a position of trust (as defined by the Sexual Offences Act 2003).
Hasn`t that been the loophole the JW religion has used in the past and gotten away with it ?
And that loophole needs to be closed .

I agree ,and these types of articles from the media in my opinion should be copied and pasted on social media to as wide an audience as can be reached because it`s not just JW children who are at risk from these predators but it could also include children from the wider community.
The wider general public should be informed and aware of the potential dangers that the Jehovah`s Witnesses religion could have on their children because of the policy`s they have of not reporting Known cases by members in their own religion to the appropiate authorities.

a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).
My niece has shunned her mother and sisters and my family for many years now because we left the religion.
That`s her choice and her loss.
i was googling the subject and came across this story.
i just had an incredible phone conversation with a long-time jw who has strong "q-anon" "sovereign citizen" beliefs.
the wife(first gen) says she is not surprised.
I`m an Aussie and I had to look up QAnon on the net to find out what it actually means ?
I had never heard of it defore.
a lot of false teaching darkens our doors today, especially with watchtower teachings, calvinism and lordship salvation.. latest video below explores the verse john 3:16 and shows forth the truths which christ preached to nicodemus.
the jws also spread fear amongst their followers stating that if the leave the org, then jehovah will strike them down at armageddon.
this video covers this same fear.. feel free to watch below..

The short answer is no ,I do not.
The American Government ordered the dropping of an Atomic Bomb on two civillian cities ,Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
And not on the armed forces of Japan who were responsible for carrying out the war.
I`m really not sure of why the question ?
well judging from past prophetic pronouncements....go figure.
"surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of god that the lord jesus is present and has been since 1874;…" watchtower 1924 jan 1 p.5).
"the prophecy of the bible, fully supported by the physical facts in fulfillment thereof, shows that the second coming of christ dates from the fall of the year 1914.
I am thankful for that false prophecy because it got me THINKING!
Mum ,reminds me of a quote :
"If everyone is thinking alike ,then somebody isn`t thinking.

has this question ever been raised before by jehovah`s witnesses?
and what`s the significance, if any ?.
BluesBrother ,so was YHWH wrong in creating Adam and producing Jesus with a foreskin in the first place ?
Stupid me , I have two sons while in the struth , my first born was un circumcised and my second son who was born 6 years later was circumcised when in my religiousness thought it must have been the thing to do .
