Cardinal George Pell convicted of sex abuse

by wozza in

he is the highest rank catholic to cop this in australia .

his case was suppressed for some time but now is public ,.

the news is just breaking on tv he has right of appeal still denying guilt.

And, watch the watchtower morons jump all over this to take the heat off their own issues.

It seems the catholic church and other institutions have had issues over the years.

I am friends with guys that were abused by Risdale et al and its sickening to see the results of that .

Vive la justice. No matter how and where.

Suicide Attempts

by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

does anyone know if the new elders' manual addresses attempted suicide?

in the previous manual, it was seen as a potential judicial matter, which is absolutely ridiculous.

have they changed it?

OK, I know this forum isn't exactly friends with JWSurvey, BUT...

blondie’s first thoughts wt study 2-24-2019 (young ones happy) december 2018, pages 19-23).

excellent general website: www.jwfacts.com .

bible translations www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible .

As always thank you blondie. You say it like it really is and that's what i like the most. Remove the veil and blow away the smoke screen to reveal the deception.

Bicycling, people here in Australia are dying often in cycle versus car and truck incidents.

Skating, some years ago one of my friends finished up crippled for life after a skating fall.

Skiing, Michael Schumacher anyone!? A bro locally broke leg and arm, won't work for 6 months.

Snorkelling? Sharks love fresh meat here in Oz. And what about harmless surfing at 6 am??

Thank you once again.

Regards

P.S. I share your concise references and thoughts with my pimi friends, has a great impact.

Aussies who enjoy AFL / Sports & JW Involvement. It also happen elsewhere ? Double standards ?

by smiddy3 in

it is well documented that the jw religion frowns on there members engaging in competitive sports to the extent they discourage school age children in the organization from being a part of competitive sports..gal.5:26. i have commented before on an afl payer in victoria who claims he is a jw who threatened to leave his club and pursue his religious convictions a year or two ago ,of course he didn`t and probably got an increase in his pay/salary.

good on him that`s business,and his business.. i now notice that he is sporting a well kept grown beard another thing that his professed religion frowns upon .i wonder if he still professes to be a jw or if he has left the religion.?.

to my knowledge he was never baptized even though he is in his mid twenties and married to a jw.sister.. jehovah`s witnesses encourage young teens to be baptized and suggest that a jw sister should not look to being yoked with a brother unless he is baptized certainly by the time he is twenty .. if alec rance still professes to be a jehovah`s witness and if he is not baptized while in his mid twenties and sporting a beard, he is not considered a jehovah`s witness by his fellow congregants until he gets baptized and gets rid of his beard.. if the above is correct does his claim to be a jehovah`s witness publicly warrant a disclaimer by the religion he professors because he doesn`t abide by the governing body /faithful & discreet slave class directives of his religion ?.

jonahstourguide

Yeah smiddy3.

I saw that pic in the Herald Sun yesterday. As I recall, he did state in an interview some time ago that he made the correct decision in choosing to stay in footy over the spiritual pursuits. And as you well know the gb do whatever they feel like doing, just as individual groups of elders do. If she, his wife, is a 'good' contributor then I'm sure no-one will bat an eyelid. I will ask my friends if they know what he's up to with jw dom.

Research Opportunity

by researchstudentsophie in

my name is sophie, and i am currently in the class ap research.

the aim of ap research is to have students enter into an academic conversation that exists about a specific topic or issue.

for my research project, i have chosen to evaluate the social stress levels, or sense of belonging, within members of the jehovah’s witnesses community, due to my personal background with the religion.. the following attachment will help me collect data for my research.

jonahstourguide

Hi Sophie.

I endorse your idea. However, I wonder which research you could quote to support the '16 times higher than the general population' claim. I do see a higher rate of mental delusion and other issues among the jws I know compared to non jws but quantified research would be good to view.

All the best with your project.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Ever Do Anything For Anyone But Themselves?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was thinking of how witnesses were always admonished to take care of their own before they should ever help a worldly neighbor.

i don’t think they ever do anything for the community unless it’s a benefit to them..

jonahstourguide

Well, for wot it's worth.

A prominent CO and SKE instructor based in Victoria and often NSW, is cruising around the Australian country side while his capable mother has been dumped in a nursing home because the other sibling (not in the religion) could no longer be with her as her own partner needed her full time attention. The super spiritual son convinced her to go into a nursing home. When he does rarely visit he tells her she is in the best nursing home in Melbourne. He had to keep his 'spiritual status' and his mother keeps trying to convince herself this is best for her and her son. PATHETIC.
