“Vengeance is mine”, says Jehovah. “I will repay.”I had an idea that came to mind. What if Anonymous (a collective of internet hackers) was hired to hack into the Watchtower database to see those on the registry? It would be illegal but it might provide some useful information.
This is true. If one of us did hire a group of skilled hackers, likely our conscience would bother us constantly. Also, it would likely stumble those in the Org & probably be less receptive to the those being part of the regathering when the end comes.“Vengeance is mine”, says Jehovah. “I will repay.”
I certainly would agree with you in sentiment PJ, and I would certainly welcome such an “act of disobedience” as they thoroughly deserve a reply to their evil in covering over their crimes. However, I do not think that we could better what Jehovah already has in mind for them.
“consistently explaining that the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses does not and never has taken children, young people or vulnerable adults into care"This article is loaded with inaccuracies. First of all, we all have to agree that anyone calling Jehovah's witnesses a 'church' isn't playing with a full deck.
It takes some doing to get past the editorial spin, but only after that do we get to an actual quote from Brother Pecipajkovski-
"Church spokesperson Tom Pecipajkovski said the Jehovah's Witnesses had cooperated since 2019 with the commission, "consistently explaining that the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses does not and never has taken children, young people or vulnerable adults into care".
"Therefore, the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses does not fall within the scope of this inquiry.
"Despite repeated requests, the commission has failed to present valid reasons as to why it disagrees" so they had gone to the High Court, said Pecipajkovski in a statement today.
Yes, but….wouldn’t it be fun!!This is true. If one of us did hire a group of skilled hackers, likely our conscience would bother us constantly. Also, it would likely stumble those in the Org & probably be less receptive to the those being part of the regathering when the end comes.
He got the boot. Ever since the thread pertaining to Flat Earth.“consistently explaining that the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses does not and never has taken children, young people or vulnerable adults into care"
Seems the JW spokesman is trying to spin what “care” means almost like he’s inferring that since there are no official WT sponsored Sunday school/day care programs or senior/special needs centers associated with the Kingdom Halls there is therefore no special oversight or moral/legal responsibility to these groups by local elders.
Very nicely said."Into care' is a relative term. NO CHURCH takes anyone "into their care" if you are going to take the interpretation as one of an actual caregiver where someone comes into your home and is responsible for you legally. It's semantics.
But WT KNOWS that all of Jehovah's sheep are charged as being "under their care" spiritually and they know that. They are also charged with protecting the flock and keeping it clean and upholding God's law. It's the same semantics that they are playing out in court by saying about their shunning policy: "we never said you can't talk to them" or whatever exact wording they used, it was designed to be misleading because any JW would say that it's blatantly false.
It was like Gerrit Loesch's testimony and Geoffrey Jackson's where they said that they are not under the authority of WT and never have been and they don't set policy for WT. WTBS is a legal entity that the GB divulged itself from about 20 years ago. It's legal semantics. WTBS has never set spiritual policy for the organization, only the GB has. WTBS only handles the legal and financial side of things.
The real question is: What does Jehovah God, the God of TRUTH, think about their deliberate obscuring of the truth? That is the true question. Forget what imperfect men think.
