  Experiences Of Speaking To Another Awake Witness Without Knowing It

  by freemindfade in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is interesting, i would love to hear of some experiences.

  i was speaking with someone offline about their talking to someone and coming to find out that person was waking up/awake too.

  the reason i find it interesting, is because it is such a fragile situation, a dance where the two people don't trust each other enough to just speak freely like they are afraid of being turned into the kgb.

  Had the experience with an old JW friend....they were trying to hint and wake me up. The more I could "take" of their questioning, the more they dished out...till we both knew each other was "awake" but knowing different things....different roads but close...if you know what I mean.

  Why does no one mention a rapist may threaten a victim with harm via force, weapon or other threat...?

  If they are so "advanced" (ahem) in this policy which GJ begs practically for mandatory Reporting laws ro circumvent these perpetrator-protecting JW policies, it begs the question, What other government commission can we call on to inquire about such arcane policies as blood, shunning, etc.

  Its really weird

  by SpunkedTeen in

  2. friends

  i tried testing my family by mentioning that a member of the gb was summoned to appear in front of the royal commission and i found it really weird how they reacted.they dismissed it saying its just satan attacking the 'truth' and i could not believe how ignorant they are.they all think that the organization did nothing wrong or even that jw's abuse their children.

  I Made the Literature Trolley Run Away Today - Twice

  i 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.

  If someone brought the subject of a Royal Commission investigation in the press, it would have made me look it up to prove whether it was true.... Brian may just do that to try to prove he is right...

  If anyone spproached me aggressively or angerly, it would make me defensive and I would not hear their points. Therefore, I suggest alway approaching others respectfully but with great questions....in a way that you really want answers. i love Angus Stewart's way of questioning....leads them to first expose their felings and lack of knowledge....then he goes for the quick hard questions they cannot hide from.

  Did you hear that!? His Honour is insisting that Jackson attend the Royal Commission

  by umbertoecho in

  i actually started clapping at that point, as his honour explained to the wt type creep sycophantic slithery lawyer that........" i understand that we all have issues to face in life and .....that is a part of life...........however it has become obvious that this man ....is in such a position to assist with this investigation.....".

  it boils down to the fact that stewart outright accused the latest witness of misleading the royal commission and this lead to some document searches which led his honour to conclude that they had been protecting mr jackson.

  this was a warm and fluffy moment folks.................brilliant stuff!!!!!

  Yes,caught it. I'm hooked. Taking notes also on how they are attcking practices regarding women. I was hoping they were going to bring out the Samuel Herd clip saying women's brains are smaller and thus not equipped for leadership,,,.or to that effect.

  Interesting that they appear not to trust that this trip is just about Jackson's father...asking for proof of father's condition. They seemed very suspicious; like he is using excuse to monitor and direct from sidelines.

  i also love how the judge ordered the JW attorney to get a draft of new policies/ practices, as discussed, to them no later than two weeks from today.

  Sounds like the JW case will be extended beyond two weeks....hopefully we will all get to see a GB on the stand, finally.

  firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.

  no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.

  it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.

  "That they are sending two commissioners over, actually flying them over is in itself amazing!. They told me they rent a space in one of the hotels in the city of Perth and will take me in the back way to make sure no one gets the chance to identify me or the others."

  First of all, I congratulate you on taking this progressive stand for yourself and for others. I do wonder that you mentioned others..... Are others from your area also coming forward? Are you arranging this or also know these victims or is the Commission putting this together?

  I feel emboldened by your stand. At the same time, I am sorry you have suffered to be in this position. Perhaps you can get assistance in pursuing financial reco urse. Might not be a bad idea and you may be able to find strngth to pursue it with support.
