here is how that person described it:.

"the video about "bad association" was really weird.

Shocking development from Australian Royal Commission

by Esse quam videri in

it is reported that elder kevin bowditch was so upset at the grilling he received at the arc that he has traveled to austin, texas to prepare for any future encounters with angus stewart.. we see from various stages of the interrogation his increasing anguish.

he is reported as saying in private, '.. that's never going to happen again.

i think i was hung up and left out to dry by the governing body.

I'm in Austin, TX. I'll pick him up from the airport and give him a place to stay... provided he is willing to do a YouTube interview on what exactly happened at the RC. THEN we can conference call Brooklyn!

Today's WT glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and therefore immortality

by purrpurr in

in today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.

also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.

Did you hear Stewart use the bible to prove an incredibly good point to Jackson!!

by umbertoecho in

i thought at the end, stewart made brilliant use of scripture (about establishing fornication or other sexually immoral practises) how, in such a clever way stewart used scripture to point out that some one could basically stake out someone's house to see if a person stayed over night be they homosexual or heterosexual............that on the basis of a sort of stakeout, the two witness rule was ambivalent yet it prevailed.

due to sufficient suspicion.. and therefore why did this "suspicion" not prevail with child sexual abuse.

Judges 4:4,5

4 Now Debʹo·rah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapʹpi·doth, was judging Israel at that time. 5 She used to sit under Debʹo·rah’s palm tree between Raʹmah and Bethʹel in the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im; the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.

Jackson was wrong that there is no Biblical president for Women to be part of Investigation & Judicial Committees.

Need the hardest evidence possible that humans have lived for more than 6000 years

by ILoveTTATT2 in

since coming out of the witnesses, i have gone through a transformation in thought and in mind.

i started with the usual: i thought that jesus was god.

then i investigated more about the bible and thought that the bible was not true, given the many contradictions, failed prophecies, etc.. then i investigated evolution and read lots and now i accept evolution and natural selection as things that are true.. now, i need to make my dad rethink everything.
