i was bored to death this sunday, and suddenly i remembered that it could be worse if having to attend the public meeting on a sunday, even worse, not being assigned to the sound department, accomodating, being the mic guy, or reading the wt at the platform... then i realized that i hated just "attending" and sitting at meetings, those "privileges" were the only thing i enjoyed and made my last months inside bearable.... did you enjoy these assignments?
I remember when i must have been getting over this JW thing that i ducked out of a Convention to watch an AFL ,Grand Final from half time onwards at the nearest pub to the convention ,this was at lang Park ,QLD, in the early 1990`s ?
Australian Rule, s Football AFL
For some reason they did this a lot in the early days putting a convention on at the same time as a major sporting event in Melbourne Australia.
dress up for the show.
... and now please be seated.
proudly presenting your 2020 convention program.. ... and, thank god, for the ff button on my player.
can this religion get any crazier ?
the watchtower—study edition | august 2020 .
study article 33. the resurrection reveals god’s love, wisdom, and patience.
8 for a number of reasons, we can assume that those greeting resurrected individuals will be able to recognize their loved ones.
The Bible says " the wages of sin is death " Rom.6:23 , So death takes away the Adamic sin that humans inherited from Adam and Eves disobedience which resulted in imperfection for the rest of the human race.
So once you die, you are no longer a sinner or imperfect ,and once you are resurrected by God Jehovah /Christ Jesus ? You are without sin or imperfection.?
So you shouldn`t die again and if you do what for ?
There are a couple of accounts in the Bible of a resurrection taking place ,are they still with us today ? No.
Modern science in medicine has brought back many from the dead these past 50 or more years in hospitals ,have they died again ? yes ,why ?
Well to me the answer is obvious.
You draw your own conclusion .
on bbc radio this morning there was a 20 minute piece on jws and the child abuse cover up.
i am already receiving reaction to it from a number of sources.
it occurred to me - if you were giving ordinary members of the public a steer on how to deal with wt publishers what would you advise?.
I was told that making God's name know was Jesus showing people what Jehovah was really like.
Jesus view of God / YHWH was at odds with the way the Old Testament portrayed YHWH/ God if i`m not mistaken .
Doesn`t his actions in the Old Testament speak louder than words of Jesus in the New testament ?
the amazing exoneration of info sekta in swiss court has finally reinforced the proper way to exit an abusive cult.. never write a letter of disassociation.
- no need to invoke shepherding or judicial action from elders.
make a written, dated statement of your free-will choice to have abandoned the jw religion - secure this document with a friend -a trusted friend (not the jw kind).
Is a baptism into the Jehovah`s witness religion valid from a christian standpoint ,as they do not baptise "in the name of the father the Son and the Holy spirit " Matt.:28:19.?
court confirms: severe criticism of jehovah's witnesses is justified!.

I love that statement when confronted with the crimes committed by JW`s " well if they committed those crimes they were not really Jehovah`s Witnesses "
By that same logic there are no Catholics behind bars in gaols because if they were really catholics they wouldn`t commit those crimes .
my mother became a witness right after i was born.
1951. i was indoctrinated from that time forward for 50 yrs.
during that time i did not hear anything about the 2 witness rule as applied to child molestation.
I was a JW for 32 years since 1960 and I have always understood the 2 witness rule applied to any and all wrongdoing
And in WT speak child molestation as far as I can remember was never viewed as a crime but as a sin.
And as far as the world was concerned no sins (crimes) were ever committed in Gods true organization.

I wish this press release / article could be spread around the world and taken up by other media outlets.
to those who are familiar with the watchtower crime syndicate it comes as no surprise that the borg has bluntly refused to participate in the australian government arrangement for organisations found responsible for the abuse of innocent victims of sexual assault to be compensated for the abuse inflicted as determined by a royal commission.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-01/government-names-shames-institutions-not-part-of-redress-scheme/12406850.
if you are an active, or in anyway associated with this group of low life pieces of worthless shit, you should be also named and shamed.. cheeses.
now even more a hater of these grubs.
Their was supposed to be a meeting with the powers that be today the 8th of July about what further measures and actions are to be taken against the institutions that have not signed up to the redress scheme .
And to date 6:30 pm I have not heard anything relating to this meeting taking place or what outcome if any has been achievied ,will update when something surfaces.
i have a friend who would like to write an article all about the failure of jwism to protect children.
what sites do you think i could direct them too without sending them down a rabbit hole of craziness??
i’m definitely sending them to trey bundy’s articles.
Case Study 29 ,and case study 54 apply to Jehovah`s witnesses of the ARC into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse .
