Don't be so hard on yourself. The truth hurts. You weren't rude you were truthful.
They should be able to deal with this, if they can't then they shouldn't start conversations with strangers about child abuse, or religion or morals .......

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

Did you mean " ritual abuse" or ongoing abuse?
I would advise obtaining legal advise if you think you have evidence that warrants it.

I Made the Literature Trolley Run Away Today - Twice
by cofty ini popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.
it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.
here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.

Maybe in the future the trolleys will be behind bullet proof glass. Like a tollbooth. -

Geoffrey Jackson. Seems he will be compelled to front up.
by umbertoecho inpray for brother jackson of the governing body!.
in todays news from australia it appears that, despite his previous declination to appear when invited, justice mcclellan from the australian royal commission on child sex abuse will officially summon brother geoffrey jackson to the stand after all.. ..... the commission was due to conclude its hearings into the jehovahs witnesses on wednesday but justice mcclellan said he will now call geoffrey jackson, a senior member of the churchs governing body in new york who is currently in australia, to appear next week.. .

Pleading the fifth for the other elders that appeared seemed to take the form of "I can't recall" and "that's not my department." -

Riddle me this applewhite expert if what?
by poopie innow here is my question.

this is mind boggling.

Their only consistency is inconsistency.
I now wonder if that is by design rather than accident, because the inconsistencies do seem to serve a purpose. They keep the people confused, and keeping them confused keeps them disoriented so they are never quite sure which way is up.
"Is it so?" They ask.
Confused people are easier to control.

The Australian Royal Commission will NOT do a damn thing to the WT!
by Calebs Airplane inthe rothschild family will not allow the aussies to take any significant action against their religious wing (mormons, jws, adventists, etc.).
the worst outcome for the borg will be a relatively small fine and a deadline to change their rules.
that is all..

Desperate times desperate measures and all that.
The WT's rulebook will become the WT's suggestion book.

The small spotlight on JWs this commission is shedding will move on just like all news does.
There is already a firm foundation in place built by the hardwork of all the great apostates over the last 40 yrs.
The likes of Ray Franz, Barbara Anderson, John Cedars, Paul Grundy and our own dear Simon and Angharad,
this momentum will continue to build slowly, but continue it will.
No fat lady singing yet.
