  1. But you said exactly that way :)). And conclusion or answer why they (WTJWorg) fighting in wrong way is visible by your appendix: they are "just not equipped to handle such situations". You making better reasoning and have better wisdom than WTJWorg GB and Helpers. Thanks!
  2. Did he, Is he such person because he "became apostate" or because he is such personality/character from the beginning, from very time ago?
  3. Elders need to make clear to public and JW congregants: If you, as JW member, have problems of any sort that is not of doctrinal, theological issue, faith issue ..... go to secular authority and to secular courts. What JW members doing according to WT policy? They say: We have our elders who have Judicial Committees and they can handle all sort of our problems - spiritual and non spiritual. JW members making (enough) "sense" for argument presented.
  4. It seems how this have to be integrated in new revised edition of "Shepherd book". That will be helpful for elders and Judicial Commissions in making decisions what sort of "apostate" have to be dfd but what not to :)))
  5. Mr Asch in his court deposition said how "spiritual protection" is JW elders task, and how "physical protection" is task for secular government. Does that make any kind of sense to you? ;))) What is difference and connection between protection and responsibility? :))
  6. In same day you said how "to be inspired" is not possible today, but how this ex-JW person "has the spirit on her,...". And you go with claim how, to be inspired from spirit who is not good is possible today, but to be inspired from spirit who is good, was ended in apostle John days. It seems, according to this, how "self training" (similar terminology you used in one CSA topic) is only solution in spiritual battle against "not good spirit". :))
  7. Did WT magazines gave enough proper "train" to JW elders and JW members in 1980's ? If yes why JWORG have such massive problem inside Organization 30-40 years later? Are they actually fighting it the wrong way as all other ?! Articles about CSA in WT publications came from what source? From inside WTJWorg wisdom "guided by HS", or by "worldly" source or from mixed sources? Train yourself? WTJWorg trained themselves in this subject? But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. - Heb 5:14 Even with this advanced self training collective attitude G. Jackson publicly asked ARC The Hon Justice Peter McClellan, "tell us please how you want us to deal with CSA and we will." He, GB member asked "worldly person" for advice and direction and instruction to be incorporated in Australian legislative. But on other hand WTJWorg instructed all "self trained elders" to call Legal Department in Branch Office first and skip Secular Government legislative. :))
  8. Even JW members are not aware how own "faith" operate in many details. So your statement above is not fully "true" and adequate :))
  9. Why this is not enough for you, but you ask for more? :)) Act chapter 2 is enough for me to put your claim (and JW's claim) into question. It seems you don't believe in Act chapter 2 as answer for Last Days "inspiration". "Last Days" started, according to WTJWorg and JW members, in 1914. You defending JW Truth. Do you stand for their truth about 1914 as start point for "Last Days"? If you do, what is problem when Act chapters 2 said how God will "inspired" "all people" in "Last Days" (from 1914 on)? If 1914 is starting point to "Last Days", according to official doctrine in JW Church, how it is that JW Church denies Act 2:17 as part of "Last Days" fulfillment? You have problem, not with my reading Bible verses, but with your reading Bible verses and statement you made: there are NO inspired prophets that came forth after Apostle John ... and with Act chapter 2: In the last days, God says I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Do we living in "Last Days", as your JW friends claims? If you agree with your JW friends you will also say, "Yes". Now, you and your JW friends need to find consensus about Act 2 17. About what "Last Days" is about in this verse and when this "Last Days" started or will start? Am I missed the point?? :)) Or you? When you answer on first part of enigma than second part will be normal component, constituent part of "Last Days".
  10. Your words revealed how you have extra perception ability and/or how people who are elders and MS are of no good, according to your conclusions about them. Interesting! And what is your "position" in congregation? Rank and file members or something else? How you "dare" to talk against "older men"? :))) What example you giving to other JW members here?! :)))) Or, members just have leaders they deserve? :)) Please down vote me. I collect that.
  11. What "jump"? Deficit in Australasia Company is not evident? Do you know why they have deficit and why they sending millions of $ out of continent? Thanks! I will visit website. Allegations, reports or complaints of child sexual abuse by 1,006 members of the organisation, They have names also. Do you know their names? I think how two important victims was BCG and BCB, as overture to all after, was in ARC process. I am glad that Lara and Steven done the same.
  12. Copy paste one comment from You Tube: They obey the authorities?? Montana is a reporting state and they didn't report the abuse of Lexi Nuñez. They were sued and lost 35 million. They appealed the decision claiming they were not clergy and won. Pennsylvania is another mandatory reporting state. They did not report the abuse of Stephanie Fessler. They settled out of court. California is another reporting state. Gonzalo Campos was an elder who had abused children before in the Congregations. The Watchtower did not report to authorities and did not warn the Congregation. This appointed elder abused more children. They lost a 13.5M lawsuit and the court demanded that they turn in their database of pedophiles which the Watchtower refused!!
  13. I am not here to defend her or your opinions and statements. I don't know is she inspired or not. But i can comment your comment about her. For example Act chapter 2 is interesting for this subject. The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. explanation about this is given in next verses: These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. Writer of Act book said two interesting information: 1) Year 33 AD is LAST DAYS period 2) "ALL PEOPLE" (young, old, men, woman) and "MY SERVANTS" will be inspired by HS Does people today living also in "LAST DAYS" ?? Do we have more than one "LAST DAYS" period/s? "Overlapping Last days"?? :)) "new light" What is difference between? Who are "ALL PEOPLE" and who are "MY SERVANTS"? Is this people in the same religion or are they various people around the globe? WTJWorg GB making strong claim how it is impossible to be inspired by HS today, because that was only unique for 1st century Congregation. On other hand GB Stephen Lett claims how we today living in Last days ("the final part of last days", "the final part of final part of the last days")))))). - short video of his famous statement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrges_TxOzQ It is obvious how all of them "evangelize"something . And they make testimony for Jesus. At the "end of the day" Jesus is, according to Bible, the one who is in capacity to say: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - Matt 7 Well SM, are you really ready to take Jesus role and make judgement about her evangelizing, anointing and to conclude she is or she is not inspired ?? :)))
  14. About: She is of mainstream Christianity though, an Evangelist,*** Author Profile: The author was born in Kosovo (ex Jugoslawia) but grew up and went to school in Germany. She is by profession a nurse but called by God as an evangelist. She´s blessed with two brothers and two sisters. At the age of 11 years she came in touch with Jehovas Witnesses and started already preaching the “Gospel“ at the age of 13 in her school and everywhere she went. She was known for her faith and stood her ground. This hasn´t changed. Now she´s preaching the living Christ and gave her life to him in 2016. Book Summary: The purpose of this book is for Jehovah’s Witnesses and ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses to find their way out of the Watchtower Organization. The author seeks to help them to get to know the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ and to receive Him. The author speaks not only based on self experience with the Watchtower Organization, but has studied a great deal and performed considerable research to ensure that the reader is well informed. It is also written as information to the body of Christ, to be sensitive of what the Spirit of God has to say. The author is giving deep prophetic insight and revelation concerning this man made religion and cult that is holding people in bondage. The unction is given to the body of Christ to know all things and to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given (1.Joh 2:20, Mattw. 13:11). Therefore it is the duty of the body of Christ to pray for this bound people, and for every captive group in any cult, religion or organization. The author is a living testimony that the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. This book is best experienced with a bible in hand, to reference as you go. https://www.xulonpress.com/bookstore/bookdetail.php?PB_ISBN=9781631291043 Definition of evangelist - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evangelist 1: often capitalized : a writer of any of the four Gospels 2: a person who evangelizes specifically : a Protestant minister or layman who preaches at special services 3: an enthusiastic advocate an evangelist for physical fitness How her's preaching Christ made her to be "MAINSTREAM" Christian?
  15. The issue here is the accusation from News Corp itsef ..................No, not for me. and the whole Redress situation ............ That is of interest for VICTIMS firstly i suppose, and for me as observer and former member who is disgusted, appealed and horrified to learn that I belonged to an organization that treats (in past and present) its members and children and other various age victims that way !!!
  16. No, i was not. I can't. Money is in question :))) who care about article wrote by some "leftist or rightist or centrist" :)))
  17. Article alone is of not such interest to me after insight in financial documents. Article giving idea about where and why money is going. Speculative idea or not, that is what we can accept or not. Official Financial report/document giving picture of massive money income in one Branch Office (Australia) and how almost same massive amount of money was used for Donations and Overseas Aid. WT Society speaking about transparency of own activity. It would be useful to know who received Donations and Overseas Aid. Some Third World JW entities? Perhaps. For building KH and other facilities for primary benefit of WT Legal Entities and for members to be gathered under "roof" for meetings .... but in same time to giving own donations as loan repayment for real estates that stay in WT property. How is possible that millions $ DEFICIT is result of Spirit Guided Organization and Spirit Guided Elders ? :)))
  18. GB manage over/WITH "all of Jesus' belongings" is very negligent. :))) Making deficit is not faithful nor discrete. Perhaps that is why "Jesus" aka/in fact WT study edition magazine removed Them from 1919 appointment. Allegedly ! :))
  19. That would be a bit difficult and unrealistic since they don't usually walk around with a big "I'm an apostate" label on their forehead! "Apostates" and "Dissidents" or what ever other name-etiquette, people would give people that are on different/opposite side of them, live in every cell of society. In family, in work place, in village and town ...etc. To "ban" all that, would mean that you want to put yourself in position above everything and everyone, even God. If you belong to Christian faith (for example, JW member), one Bible verse act against your request. That is: ... so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Imagine God who would ban sun and rain towards apostates :)))) ... or towards apostates you labeled as apostate by your measures.
