So why did they hire a female "expert" to speak on their behalf at the ARC?

According to them female expert is an oxymoron.

😉Or maybe a foxy moron!

i actually have had dealings with rod and found him to be a very reasonable and "non-robotic" man in the past.. i know it should not surprise me, but i was disappointed to hear his lies and half-truths.. they know their stuff and are not easily led, but he tried to lead the royal commission to believe that 2 people could be involved in investigating a claim - which is wrong.. his lack of memory on what parts of the judicial process are biblical - hello - none are.

there are no scriptures that backup the use of 3 men, a body of elders, cutting people off from family and friends, restrictions, etc.. he also lied about the gb being involved in policy creation and changes.. his statement that in all cases, elders are told to inform parents that they can go to the authorities and get the full support of the congregation is not verifiable.

You said it yourself "you found him to be very reasonable."

Maybe because you weren't asking him questions about how the WT handles child abuse.

These guys suffer from multiple personality disorder.

Or maybe that is "becoming all things to all people."

Rodney Spinks' Performance

by maksutov in

it seems like there has not been as much discussion here about the rc testimony on day 6 (4th august) as there has been about previous days.

i was quite surprised by rodney spinks' testimony, which was a marked contrast to the bungling and inarticulate testimony of the elders that appeared before him.

spinks seemed reasonably co-operative, and a lot more willing to concede points than anyone else has been.

Yes, his repeatedly reminding the Commision that "we've already gone over this" was pompous to the extreme.

You could tell this whole being expected to answer questions thingy that these worldly birdfood people have set up

was completely getting on his tits.

RC: an emotional trigger?

by sparrowdown in

jw
friends

is this rc triggering any painful memories for anyone else?

.

for me, it's stirring up all the emotions of what it felt like dealing with assholes like this.

I find myself viewing more of this RC than I intended to, but it is proving to be valuable for the purpose of finally washing that cult right out of my hair.

I didn't think I had that many emotions left to purge over them, turns out that cults are the same as a high quality moisturizing shampoo ie "it really does get in."

Let's see what the lying bastards are going to say today.
