Jehovah’s Witnesses leaders have said publicly that they are proud of their child protection policies and that they do more to shield young members from harm than other religions. Despite mounting lawsuits and media reports, however, they have failed to acknowledge that the organization has hidden child abuse from secular authorities around the world for decades.

They haven’t expressed outrage over the abuse of their children. Or given indications that they’ll be changing their policies. Instead, they’ve made one thing clear: They want the press to go away.

Sherrie D'Souza was 46 when she was first allowed to sing the national anthem.

Naomi Mourra was 22 when she was first allowed to celebrate her own birthday.

Both were discouraged from voting in elections for many years.

The Sydney women spent decades of their life living in a bubble where they were told what to think, say and do and the consequences for disobedience were life altering.

Sherrie and Naomi were Jehovah's Witnesses.

According to the organisation, there are currently more than 70,000 Witnesses in Australia.

The sect is headed by an all-male governing body and elders adhere to policies laid out in a guidebook that's kept confidential from other followers.

The religion preaches that Armageddon will happen any day, wiping out the entire human race except for all Witnesses who will live forever in paradise.

The Pennsylvania attorney general's office reportedly is investigating whether the Jehovah's Witnesses repeatedly failed to report child sexual abuse allegations to authorities in what is believed to be the first wide-scale examination by a U.S. law enforcement agency.

The attorney general's office told USA TODAY it "cannot confirm or deny the existence of investigations."

But Mark O'Donnell, a former Jehovah's Witness who left the religion when he was 46, said the Pennsylvania attorney general's office interviewed him last summer at his home in Baltimore. Then he was subpoenaed to testify before a statewide investigating grand jury in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

O'Donnell provided USA TODAY a copy of his subpoena.

A Jehovah’s Witness congregation was responsible for the rape of a young woman because of the power male “elders” wielded over “sheep-like” members, the Court of Appeal ruled.

The victim had complained about Mark Sewell’s kissing and innuendo but was urged to show “compassion” by his father, who, like Sewell, was an elder at the church in south Wales.

On a Friday morning in August, one of the Jehovah’s Witnesses top leaders sat before an Australian government commission investigating whether the organization hid child sexual abuse from secular authorities.

That Geoffrey Jackson, one of the seven members of the religion’s Governing Body, was being grilled in public captivated a global community of former Witnesses that watched the live stream on their home computers.

During two weeks of hearings, Jackson and members of the organization’s top brass in Australia gave hours of sworn testimony, but at least one big question remained: Were any of them telling the truth?

In these last days a place will be where the Father will dwell on earth. Everyone who will remain will go there to hear the truth. All Religion will dissapear with their lies. Read Isaiah 2.

Last days. The people who drive societal advancement through scientific knowledge are planning for the future while you and your religious antagonists are preparing for the last days. I have been hearing about the last days since Moses wore short pants, yet here we are.
You criticize the Christians and point a finger at them while four point back at you. They have malaria while you have West Nile virus. Either way, all of you have been bitten by the mosquitoes of ignorance. Last days! What a joke. Your last day is the day you die, which is the first day of another new form of life. Every human could die tomorrow and the sun will rise like it has been doing for billions of years before some hairless apes created silly fables about the Last Days. Pull your god damn heads out of your asses.

The Father this, the Father that. Can any of you misogynistic genii conceive of the Mother or is your concept of god limited to what is written in a book? Of course, that is a rhetorical question.

Read Isaiah 2? Read from the Bible of the blood shedding liars created to deceive the chosen?

5For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace."

Christian lie:

Inductive reasoning: conclusion merely likely
Inductive reasoning begins with observations that are specific and limited in scope, and proceeds to a generalized conclusion that is likely, but not certain, in light of accumulated evidence. You could say that inductive reasoning moves from the specific to the general. Much scientific research is carried out by the inductive method: gathering evidence, seeking patterns, and forming a hypothesis or theory to explain what is seen.

Conclusions reached by the inductive method are not logical necessities; no amount of inductive evidence guarantees the conclusion. This is because there is no way to know that all the possible evidence has been gathered, and that there exists no further bit of unobserved evidence that might invalidate my hypothesis. Thus, while the newspapers might report the conclusions of scientific research as absolutes, scientific literature itself uses more cautious language, the language of inductively reached, probable conclusions:

What we have seen is the ability of these cells to feed the blood vessels of tumors and to heal the blood vessels surrounding wounds. The findings suggest that these adult stem cells may be an ideal source of cells for clinical therapy. For example, we can envision the use of these stem cells for therapies against cancer tumors [...].1

Christianity: One of the most thoroughly depraved religious ideologies the world has ever known.

Mythology: Stolen
Theology: Morally Depraved
Leaders: Avaricious, unscrupulous, utterly corrupt
Followers: Gullible, ignorant, self-righteous
History: Theft, misery, bloodshed

Results: Slave/Master relationships, Human Exploitation, Economic Exploitation, Degeneracy

A proper tragicomedy!

The most ironic part of it is that they don't understand the allegories. Even the ones who claim to "understand" and are devoid of "belief" don't understand the allegories. Atheists and some theists also have literal interpretations of the allegories and it follows that atheists find the stories absurd. To make matters worse, the few who understand the allegories but who are in positions of power in Christian or Judaic institutions will not explain the allegories because that will be tantamount to killing the goose that has been laying golden eggs for centuries.

-Pindar

I am almost certain that the principals of the Catholic Church (the MOTHER church of all you Christians) have asked themselves the above question multiple times over the centuries and their answer is always "why kill the sheep when you can continue fleecing the flock.

When you understand the allegories, they won't be able to sell you the cure for a disease that doesn't exist and you might even view them as the epitome of immorality.

The Bible is not overrated nor underrated. It’s a collection of impressive literature composed by some of the finest minds of those times.

Vespasian, the new emperor, having been raised unexpectedly from a low estate, wanted something which might clothe him with divine majesty and authority. This, likewise, was now added. A poor man who was blind, and another who was lame, came both together before him, when he was seated on the tribunal, imploring him to heal them, and saying that they were admonished in a dream by the god Serapis to seek his aid, who assured them that he would restore sight to the one by anointing his eyes with his spittle, and give strength to the leg of the other, if he vouchsafed but to touch it with his heel. At first he could scarcely believe that the thing would any how succeed, and therefore hesitated to venture on making the experiment. At length, however, by the advice of his friends, he made the attempt publicly, in the presence of the assembled multitudes, and it was crowned with success in both cases.

It is a cultural record, no serious historian looks at the Bible and considers it a proper record of historical facts. The other sources are varied, some from Egypt some from Persia, the more famous ones are the Egyptian Steeles.

To buttress your point. The New Testament is a Jewish interpretation of ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian ideas from a Greek perspective.

U think there will ever be a black pope

No. Unless they lose their cloak of authority and the people see through their cascade of lies. In that situation, they may be compelled to appeal to gullible black folks and retain some power by appointing a black pope.
The vicar of their god on earth has to look like their god and a melanin rich person can’t be the vicar of a melanin deficient god.
What does their god look like? Take a look at their Sistine chapel and the proliferation of European images as biblical characters.

Another reason is their delusion of white supremacy. The European elite’s economic subjugation and colonization of various peoples had “moral” support of the Catholic Church, which encouraged the European powers to pillage and enslave the world. The slave isn’t going to be master. You can’t accept your master’s religion and your own implied inferiority, then expect to rise to the top of the pyramid.

What is wrong with that?

Just make sure you apply the same scrutiny to your beliefs. You may not worship a dead Jew but you do worship a Jewish illusion.
When you reach “enlightenment”, you’ll stop asserting that the Jewish god commanded anything because you will realize the nature of the fiction.
