Raw Footage of Australian Royal Commision
by Luther bertrand ini see alot of youtube channels that have footage of the hearing, however i can not find the original footage?
can anyone point me in the direction of where the original footage is?
i am working on a project and do not want to strip footage from someones channel or steal someones work in terms of editing it or downloading it and uploading it with changes.

Finally posting and I'm FRUSTRATED!!!
by stephanie61092 inokay, i'm about to engage in a major word vomit.
just giving you fair warning as your time may be better spent somewhere else.. so, i'm sitting on my lunch break, bawling my eyes out, and writing on this forum to people i don't know yet probably have a great deal in common with but at the same time, used to scare the daylights out of me.
for years, i would come across this forum and 'lurk' awhile if you will, or see things on youtube.

Hi:
Waking up is hard.
With family still in, it seems that there are no right choices.
You will go through a process, maybe similar to here:

For both you and your therapist.

I was ashamed
by Happeanna ini was once a person who believed in god destroying 7 billion people so a few people could live in paradise.. when the penny finally dropped and i realised what as a jehovah's witnesses i was really praying for , it made me feel sick.
what is attractive about a person that prays for this world to end .
i was ashamed to have been a witness deeply ashamed .

Thanks.
Checked those links - nada.
Only question left is that the original book in the links is 56 or 58 pages and the Amazon edition is 128 pages.

So, I posted this thread:
on another forum, and as well posted it here primarily to ask a question.
An astute redditor went to the beginning of the 2004 article -
The WT quote there is:
“WHEN religion is not encouraging strife it is acting as a drug which numbs the human conscience and fills the human brain with escapist fantasies. . . . [It] causes human beings to be narrow, superstitious, full of hatred and fear.” The former Methodist missionary who wrote that added: “These charges are true. There is bad and good religion.”—Start Your Own Religion.
The redditor posted that that book was written by Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary did write a book of that title
http://www.amazon.com/Start-Your-Religion-Timothy-Leary/dp/1579510736
I do not feel like shelling out $20. to verify if that quote is in the book or not, and the local library does not have a copy.
The statement that religion "is acting as a drug which numbs the human conscience and fills the human brain with escapist fantasies," certainly sounds like it would have come from his book.
However, the statement: "The former Methodist missionary who wrote that" does seem confusing, although there is the typical WT ... in the quote, which could break up what the Methodist missionary said, and what Timothy Leary himself wrote.
Any thoughts?
Of all people, did WT actually use a quote from Timothy Leary?

The reason that I asked is because of this quote from 2004 WT:
Yes, God himself is deeply offended by religion that ‘encourages strife, numbs the human conscience, fills the brain with escapist fantasies, and causes people to be narrow-minded, superstitious, and full of hatred and fear’!

Like I say all the time it's a criminal organization.
A criminal organization disguised as a religion.

Before he died she was nice enough to send him a watchtower subscription every year. She loved him that much.
Ahh, nothing like love in the WT world.
