  "Guardians of the doctrines"

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't help thinking that there is something essentially wrong with gj's new description of the role of the gibbering biddies as guardians of the doctrines..

  guardians immediately take on a role of authority, (dont ever forget who is in charge!

  ) guardians outside of the legal sense of adoptive parent has another resonance, it sounds like the inhuman bullies in some dystopian novel about oppressive religious politics.

  Well they couldn't call themselves guardians of the bible because that has survived for centuries without their help.

  These idiots need a check up from the neck up!!

  regarding Jacksons testimony.

  has anyone here re-watched that last day?

  the part where justice mcclellan is asking mr jackson if he feels that this royal commission is a sincere effort to make some good changes in policy...?.

  and does mr jackson feel it would be worth it to put a collective effort, along with other organizations to compensate or find means of redress, for the victims of child sexual abuse?.

  They hide behind religion. They would not be allowed to run a business like this.

  I find the whole "we can get away with anything in the name of religion" thing so infuriating.

  I'm sure that most people do too, this RC has highlighted major flaws in this religion.

  I believe pandoras box has well and truly been opened.

  You would think that if it was all legit they would provide a breakdown of the costs, electricity etc.

  The fact that they do not makes it very sus indeed.

  James- yes I noticed that too. He was looking quite defeated and tired by the end.

  He made the 6 O'clock news though, complete with soundbite. Mother must be so proud.
