Jehovah's Witnesses Named and Shamed

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison calls out Jehovah's Witnesses for failing to join the redress scheme to help child abuse victims. JW's may be stripped of their Charitable Status. 22 October 2020

This is a wonderful 'Catch 22' situation for CCJW, whether they now join the redress scheme or lose their charitable status it all comes down to money. The calculators in Warwick must be overheating!

[artisallthat]

The Governing Body should proudly put this on their News Of The World section. I mean if you are going to claim persecution, proudly put all the info on there for all to see and applaud you...

Listen to this one my father was in World War II veteran a lot of mental problems when he came back as he had been shell-shocked and he spent a year in the hospital and my parents have 6 kids I'm the youngest we had no food to eat it was pitiful Jehovah's Witnesses were studying with us okay my mother had to call the Catholics and the nuns brought us food the Jehovah's Witnesses were there when the nuns brought us some food and he never asked us not one time if we needed anything those people have no charity whatsoever they just don't they do not care it's not like he couldn't afford it he work for General Motors not that I expected him to keep us but we had no food you know even as a World War II veteran you would think they'd want to give my dad some food nothing

Watchtower will fall and I cannot wait for that day.

They said that I had such a wonderful life as a JW and that I was only upset about the abuse after I left. So I would not have been upset about it if I stayed then? I left because of the abuse!

Watchtower are morally in contempt of the most high and mighty father. They have harmed his children. The father will make sure that they are punished for their atrocities.

If this happens they will let the rank and file know they lost their charitable status but they WILL NOT TELL THEM WHY. THEY WILL SAY THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT IS PERSECUTING THEM.

Well done Australia now for the UK to come next, but I wont hold me breath 😡

[ronslaughterandalice]

I don't know, I'm getting pretty old now but still hoping I live long enough to see the Tower crumble. They really are deviant and corrupt on so many levels.

[FirsteMann]

I'm guessing you won't find this on JW.BORG

[simonscott]

see, even as a kid I was smart. I showed up to a Boy's Brigade thing once, and got such a feeling of "ick" that I never went back.

Score one for young me.

[ariloves]

EXPOSED. LET THE EXODUS BEGIN. SAVE YOUR FAMILIES NOW.

[julespetyt]

"Offending organisations" is a strong statement

[roamiblu]

I've never seen so many people get so bent out of shape over Jehovah's Witnesses. What about the groups who "refuse" to join this Scheme? How does anyone feel about those groups? Or do you just have it out for the JWs?

Which people are preaching the good news of the kingdom around the world to all nations like Jesus christ Mathew 4:23, 24:14, 28:19-20, mark 13:10 ?

[oscarand]

We are not the Salvation Army. Our assignment is to preach the kingdom
of God. Nothing must distract us from that call to go forth and make disciples
of peoples of all the nations. Satan the Devil would like nothing more than to
waste our time by attending to things that are fruitless. Not that we have no
compassion for the children, their parents, and society as a whole, but there's
never going to be a relief from suffering no matter how hard everyone tries.
The best thing to do is to show the way to everlasting life in Jehovah's kingdom.
Christendom is wealthier than the J.W.'s organization. The Vatican could open
its vaults of treasures and share its riches with its Catholic flock around the
world. The rich clergy could do the same. Jesus provided for the multitude that
gathered to listen to him witness while feeding them fish and bread. Whoever
was not there, was not fed. He took care of his own followers. Christendom can
do the same. Granted it tries to care for their different religions but it's like trying
to push back the ocean with a pale. The government can help by reducing or
putting end to the manufacturing of weapons that kill other human beings. We are
helping by paying our taxes and cutting down on crime when people come to learn
the truth and devote their lives to serving and worshipping God in righteousness.
We work to help the economy and support the community we live in. But we will not
use our time in feeding people bodily just to satisfy their hunger for a day. We offer
spiritual food that makes for a wholesome life by putting their trust and faith in
Jehovah that he will always provide for us.
