  Have the Elders ever been instructed by their bethel to call the police for abuse?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. child-abuse

  right now, there are a lot of talks on this topic in quebec and, at the mid week meeting, they are reading the letter sent in 2002 where it states that the elders will call the authorities if the law forces them to.

  the strange thing is, it looks like even when there are laws to that effect, jws seem to believe that it does not apply to them.

  for instance, i know that they do not report anything in quebec, even if it is the law!

  They Offered Their Son Willingly—To Bethelite Brothers

  they offered themselves willingly—in new yorkricky, a construction project manager in hawaii, was invited to serve as a commuter bethelite to assist with the warwick project.

  his wife, kendra, wanted him to accept the invitation.

  however, they had a legitimate concern: the welfare of their 11-year-old son, jacob.

  It's truly amazing what some people on this forum find to complain about. What a ridiculous thread and comments.

  3 years to build 54 halls? And spin that as progress? Wow

  Their manner of speaking is totally unnatural. Creeps me out. I'd rather watch actual robots.

  Interesting that property damage should be promptly reported to the police in contrast with child abuse reporting policy.

  Pale says he's separated from his wife and also calls her his ex. I thought that meant he's still married?? Married with a girlfriend?? Doesn't seem OK to me if that is the situation.

  "did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers that stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become maturbators later on?".

  what sick fu... writing this article thought the the average person did this to keep kids quiet..

  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur? Redux

  by shadow in

  i am posting a second topic on this subject since the first one became overrun by snakes.. cofty posted a link to a published paper discussing this topic and referred to the information in it as "facts".

  here is my summary of that paper along with comments on it.. one of the opening statements says that:.

  two frequently debated aspects of hominin evolution are the development of upright bipedal stance and reduction in body hair.. so for those who believe this is a stupid topic, it is a subject of interest to many stupid people including the authors of the paper referred to by cofty.
