in case you're not aware of my last two threads:.
the situation that arose in that my mother has been having secret access to my daughter and refusing to tell me how she is: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5012900121935872/am-overreacting-here.
the build up to my solicitors visit: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6284953638666240/solicitors-appontment-tomorrow-advice-appreciated.
I agree with ingocnito's comment.
Well done PE!
We are with you through all of this.
Maintain your Dignity, Poise and Grace, and it will show through to your daughter that you are the mild and reasonable one.
After all, this is all about HER, and HER welfare.
Much love buddy!
i heard a sly and the family stone song a little while ago and out of curiosity, looked up larry graham....the innovator of the slappin and plunkin bass.
he became a jw about 1975 and was the influence for prince becoming a jw.
on his official web page is the list of his tour dates this year.
The GB know that if they condemn anything about these famous JWs, then they will get such backlash from the media and perhaps even legal penalties...
Can he still ask for money from the grave??
question: if a jw married lady is accused of adultery and a judicial committee is formed to investigate the matter, is the lady's jw husband also invited to attend as the possibly injured party?.
Oh wow Morpheus!
That is indeed some ordeal. So glad you and the rest of the JC had decided to NOT ask for specifics. That shows that you afforded her dignity.
However it seems that she was under the impression that she was obliged to "spill the beans" to such a committee. That shows the overwhelming abuse of power that the culture of the "truth" has over people... So Sad.
when god's kingdom rules the earth, elders will be put in law enforcement capacity.
during the end of the thousand year reign when satan is let loose, the cop pulls this guy over.. "i have reason to believe you're driving under the influence of masturbation.
show me your hands.".
"STEP AWAY FROM THE PILLOW SIR!"
you are under attack!
and your chief enemy, satan, is using a very dangerous weapon against you.
propaganda!
Yes, the irony is disturbing!
They are guilty of that VERY thing!
The hypocrisy is so infuriating!
As has already been quoted, the Society themselves published a famous quote:
"Education teaches one HOW to think, Propaganda TELLS one WHAT to think"
If only JWs were smart enough to see how manipulated they have been. They feel that the society is the only required source of information....so they deny themselves the opportunity to REALLY think.
hi friends one and all i just thought i would let you know it`s our 57th wedding anniversary today .
and we are setting off this morning for 3 nights in eden nsw i think it has more to offer than the one in genesis.. with a bit { or a lot } of luck we will make our fortune .

Congrats guys!
As a fellow NSW resident, I can attest to the fact Eden is a beautiful place!
Just make sure that you don't allow your wife to eat from the fruit tree in the middle of the garden! And if she does, don't eat it yourself! 😉

child abuse & jw was held.

Bring it on!
The society can no longer sit arrogantly !
Seems like the chickens have come home to roost!

ToMo3 would be having a hard time focusing...and would need a pillow after watching that!
in the recently leaked bethel training videos, both speakers state that inappropriate flirting really amounts to lying, as if a person is misrepresenting either his interest or availability to another person romantically.. we are reminded that the bible is very plain in its expressions on lying such as proverbs 12:22 which states it is detestable to god.
so with the example given here, we must have a very high standard in separating what is truthful from what is not.. with that being the case, it shocks me that bethel would produce a video presented to all in attendance at the 2017 regional convention regarding the early 1970's, essentially rewriting history as to what actually happened.. is misrepresenting your past and misleading millions of followers not a much more extreme case of lying from those who claim to reject any form of lying no matter how small, such as flirting?
would anyone like to add more examples to this thread?.
Great thread!
Yes, as Vanderhoven said above, the lies said during the Australian Royal Commission were mind-blowing!
I know many of the brothers who were on the stand from Bethel, and their lies really stood out! Especially the lie said by Vincent Toole "I've never heard of the term 'Theocratic Warfare'"! HE gave a freaking talk on that very subject when I was in Bethel at the same time as him!
The irony is that he thinks he was using "theocratic warfare" to deny the existence of 'theocratic warfare"! I bet he and his cohorts laughed their asses off back at Bethel thinking they were so clever!
