here is another jackson's misleading answer, from the transcript of august 14 :.
25 q. do you accept corporal punishment?
29 a. not not personally, no, and not as an organisation 30 we don't encourage it.
Jackson was talking out of his ass for most if not all of that interview.
Speaking anecdotally (if that counts) every hall I have ever attended and also working in mothers and babies at assemblies I have witnessed the spanking of children, regularly.
Every born-in I have ever known has admitted to also being spanked as a child.
It happens. We all know it happens. The GB knows it happens.
at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.
apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.
this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.
You're welcome Miss Lisa.
You always make me think, so thank YOU.
Games we shall call: How to survive the RC without fantasizing about blowing your brains out, oh this takes me back!!
Try this. Roll up tiny bits of torn up paper and see how many you can place on the head of the person in front of you before they shake their head. It helps if they have big hair.

NY44M - the sisters wearing a t-shirt that shows a map of the convention grounds would solve that problem.

"The GB are going to circumcise themselves..."
Get the tweezers and magnifying glasses ready.
That can't be it the title says it's something big.

today at the wt study one of the new songs was used.
how has this been going in other congs - at my hall about two thirds had it on either tablets or phones with lyrics on or printed out, rest just stood looking blank.
singing very poor.
They may as well just drop the music and chant the words in a monotone .
"For the greater good......all hail the GB.....tight pants are gay....die apostates die....."
i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.
all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).
they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.
ok we all say stupid things (probably on a daily basis in my case) but my mother (a jw) was told by another member that she doesn't have a conscience because anyone who smiles as much as she does simply can't have a conscience.
i bet you can guess the person who said it to her has a face like a wet weekend.. i guess the reasoning is: if you had a conscience you wouldn't have much to smile about because you'd be overwhelmed with guilt and worry.
what a load of old bollox that cult is eh?.
That's a new one on me. Whatever happened to the JW mantra of "Jehovah's happy people?"
When I was going if you weren't consistently all happy-happy joy-joy you were from Satan.
