  Are Witnesses Allowed to Read Bible by itself

  by Brighid in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been away from the boards so long that i had to create a new account but recent events have brought me back - i've missed this place!

  anyway, i heard a former witness being interviewed the other day that said the witnesses were now being highly discouraged to read the bible by itself (without wt literature) on their own.

  this seems over the top even for the witnesses.

  In addition to blondies quotations here are some newer ones:

  *** w81 2/15 p. 17 Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible? ***
  

  A HUMAN CHANNEL
  From such experiences it can be seen that Jehovah God caused the Bible to be written in such a way that one needs to come in touch with His human channel before one can fully and accurately understand it. True, we need the help of God’s holy spirit, but its help also comes to us primarily by association with the channel Jehovah God sees fit to use.—1 Cor. 2:6-10.

  *** w90 12/1 p. 19 par. 13 How Can We Respond Unselfishly to God’s Love? ***
  Let us face the fact that no matter how much Bible reading we have done, we would never have learned the truth on our own. We would not have discovered the truth regarding Jehovah, his purposes and attributes, the meaning and importance of his name, the Kingdom, Jesus’ ransom, the difference between God’s organization and Satan’s, nor why God has permitted wickedness.

  I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.

  by joe134cd in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.

  i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.

  so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.

  Apologize to this two?

  Never. Rather, they cite:

  *** w79 3/1 p. 24 par. 15 To Whom Shall We Go but Jesus Christ? ***
  For those who truly love God’s law there is no stumbling block.—Ps. 119:165.

  Letters to Congregations and Elders

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  several years ago i was given a link to a pdf download of a compilation file that included all letters from the borg to elders and congregations from - i think - 1980 through 2011. does anybody have an updated version, or can point me to a source for letters from 2012 to the present?

  i would prefer a single document but even a site that has them all one by one would be ok. thanks!

  anyone know who this monty baker is?

  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  I loved when they went through the article with the model on what turns someone into a pedophile.......

  The Report: "Conceptualising the prevention of child sexual abuse"

  The Model: "Finkelhor’s Four Preconditions Model" - starting on page 30

  Dr Applewhite and Conti's case

  by Viva la Vida in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is from conti's appeal veredict:.

  monica applewhite, a clinical social worker and an expert on child sexual abuse, testified for defendants that watchtowers policy against disclosing private information .

  very closely mirror[ed] the codes of ethics of the national association of social workers and the american counseling association.

  This is from Conti's appeal veredict:
  .....Appelwhite opined that its best means of protecting children was to educate parents about child sexual abuse, and it exceeded the standard of care for such education in the 1990’s.

  Today she tried to go the same way - also the JW lawyer in the end.

  BUT the commission made clear, that it's not a competition and not a question, who was better. The point is, what is wrong in the JW procedure and what has to be changed.
