  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the first of many lawsuits?.

  (edited).

  november 09, 2015. wilmington, delaware the attorney general's office is suing elders of the sussex county congregation for not reporting an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.. state law requires any person, agency, organization or entity who knows or in good faith suspects that a child is being abused or neglected to call a 24-hour hotline.

  Disgusted By Today's WT Study 12/6/15

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  no, not because of the message of deluding yourself into seeing the hand of god working in mundane wt activities.

  that is to be expected from this org.

  what really bothered me was the quote in paragraph one.

  § 9 clearly states:

  ...we too can see his hand because we perceive his qualities and actions with “the eyes of [our] heart.”...

  Source: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2015761

  In german it reads:

  ... seine Persönlichkeit und seine Taten uns vertrauter werden, dann können auch wir seine Hand mit den Augen unseres Herzens sehen.

  So it is not about seeing God's hand in the reality
  

  At least in the german version that is clearly

  ? Video from making of (Haiyan Video) ?

  by fastJehu in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many people think that there is little connection between what they are doing and what god is doing.

  in fact, some believe that god has little interest in what is happening to humans.

  after super typhoon haiyan wreaked destruction on the central philippines in november 2013, the mayor of one large city said: god must have been somewhere else.. source: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2015761.

  This ist the WT for today.
  

  Question: Some weeks ago there was a video on jw org or tv jw org - showing the "making of" about this video: http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/help-community/video-philippines-typhoon-haiyan-survivors/
  

  But today I can't find this video again. Is the "making of video" not longer on there website?

  Or I'm to blind to find?

  Funny grammar error in German Watchtower

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.

  in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.

  the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

  A German here says it reads okay.

  
  

  I also stumbled over this sentence - and I had to smile.

  One would be able to express this sentence unequivocally.

  But a faithful german JW knows of course exactly, what the GB wants to express.

  Ironic Day Text from Mon., Nov. 23/15 about helping others....

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we've had a few threads these past couple days about how the wt does not take care of its own, how there's no love in the congregations, how they do no charitable works (supposedly because they don't want to produce "rice christians"), and how they believe that in these last days, the literature is the most important thing people need today, this wonderful life-saving spiritual food.... right?

  well, take a look at this recent day text:.

  - from examining the scriptures daily - monday, november 23, 2015 - .

  Keep Your Motives Pure: What motivates you to persevere in the foreign-language field? Likely it is your love for Jehovah and for people.

  .... and definitely not the search for a spouse ...

  .... and in no case the desire for a warmer climate ...

  .... and in no case the wish, to have an easygoing search-work in the foreign-language field ...

  The only phone call you get from an elder is inquiring about a ''field service'' report. Just mechanical, canned , repetitive, it's just exactly how they can make one feel too, ''cold, rigid and blue''. LOL!!

  WRONG. There are some more phonecalls from elders.
  
  Call from elder: "hello brother fastJehu, could you please pick up the older sister "loyal" and drive her in your car to the meeting?"
  
  Call from elder in the fieldservice-group: "hello brother fastJehu, this week we have to clean up the kigndom hall and "we" will do it at 12 o clock on saturday after fieldservice."

  2. bible

  i know it's dumb to think it would make sense.

  i've been telling myself to lay low because everytime i ask a question now my husband says i have a negative attitude and i sound like an apostate.

  hmmm wonder why.

  ... because everytime I ask a question now my husband says I have a negative attitude and I sound like an apostate. Hmmm wonder why...

  Wonder why? The answer is easy: Like all other JWs - your husband has no answers to your legitimate questions/arguments. And so he attacks (like all other JWs - including my parents) the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, rather than attacking the argument directly. It's called "argumentum ad hominem".

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

  Pioneerbot
  ... I asked my husband that and he said of course he's our Father because he made us...

  WHO is "us"? The hole mankind - or only the JWs? The WT-article clearly means only the JWs. But the first subheadline "Jehovah is our loving provider" shows clearly, that all arguments fits for the hole mankind.

  § 16 states:

  Yet, none of our brothers and sisters lost their life in that case, even though many of them lost all their belongings and their livelihood. When asked how they were faring, everyone, with a broad smile, answered: “All is well, thanks to Jehovah!” They felt God’s love for them.

  
  

  The WT says NOT, Jehovas in his love protected them. They ONLY FELT God's love for them. But this feeling have the members of other religions also.

  
  
  All my JW life I learned, today Jehovah is not intervening. And then for example Anthony Morris speaks about Jehovahs intervening - Jehovah protected chickens from disease (from a brother, who went to a convention) and the audience gives him applause. At the end he says: "we're not saying what Jehovah did or did not do." Yes, he is telling what Jehovah did - by just telling the story. No wonder there was hesitation before the applause. Like your husband - they smelled - there is something wrong (it was cognitive dissonance). But a brave JW has no questions - if the GB is talking (or writing a WT).

  I'm slow with this stuff. Must be because my brain is 10% smaller.

  Definitely not. Every thinking person is slow with this stuff.

  Must be - because this stuff makes no sense.
