Watchtower dissolves congregations?
by TheStar ini have heard this from jws many times.
they say that when the whole congregation is corrupt it is clearly noticable that jehovah's spirit is not with them.
eventually if the whole congregation is corrupt the gb dissolves the whole congregation.. jws say this as if it were from personal experience.

"Worldly" view of Dateline
by DevonMcBride inall of the non-jw's that i know were shocked to hear that the jw's consider worldly people to be part of satan's world.
most non-jw's only know that the jw's are holy rollers who go door to door trying to convert.
they really don't know much more about them and to learn this was a bit of an education.. devon

Jehovah has a Bad Day
by TexSham inwhen the crime of child molestation occurs within the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, organizational policies punish the victim and protect the accuser.
jehovahs witnesses require a victim of molestation to produce two credible witnesses to support his/her claim, when, in fact, rarely is there ever more than one witness to this type of crime.. in light of recent allegations against the catholic church, individual elders, in charge of administering the organization at the local, or congregation level, have been admonished in a recent organizational letter to contact their regional headquarters legal department upon becoming aware of evidence of child abuse, rather than contacting the local authorities.. the witnesses stress in their door-to-door work how different their religion is from all the others, on the pretext that they are right, and everyone else is wrong.
how will local "elders" accused of child molestation react?

JWs' Letter to Dateline
by jschwehm ini just got a copy of the society's letter to dateline as to why they would not agree to an on-camera interview.. they said that since dateline told them that most of the people that they were interviewing considered themselves active jws, that for the headquarters to make a statement that it would make it appear as though "brother" was speaking out against "brother".
and that a nationally televised program was not the appropriate forum for them to work out their differences.
(this is interesting since the pandelos and barb have been dfed, haven't they?).
