Sauerkraut: Why did they let him hide behind the bible so much? I'm somewhat disappointed it turns out to be a bible discussion.

Probably because the WTS claims that the policies of the JWs are scripturally based.

I thought that the Commission experts handled the Biblical debates very well. Jackson's ONLY defense and source of reference was the silver sword and both Stewart and McClelland didn't shy away from pointing out Jackson's inconsistencies for his twisted Bible interpretations. I don't think that Jackson did very well in his role as a "guardian of doctrine".

mgmelkat: I'd like to see where they have apologised and for what??

Oh. That was in a letter once - they said "We are so sorry for all those people who died because we siad they couldn't have a blood trnasfusion. We are sorry for all those babies and children who have died."

Oh...they never really said that, did they? I must apologize. I am sorry...my mistake.

Dumplin: Who else thinks Jackson might be Alfred Hitchcock's illegitimate son?

Aack! Alfred Hitchcock could be Jackson's daddy? So what about Jackson's "brother", Pope Francis?

Ah...the sanctity of the family...

Sparrow: ...The bethel elves do, whoever they are.

Well, they might have their "little helpers" but I think it is time for some of my crow friends to hear about what this JW pope had to say about women and children.

I have a list and I am checking it twice...gonna see who is naughty or nice...I have some work to do. The crows are going to hear about this.

"We are a spiritual group of men who act as guardians of our doctrine."

"Thank you for that question!!"

"God's spirit motivates us."

"Thank you for that question!!"

"We are not an organization of lawyers." ...haha! No shit, Sherlock. (or was that "lizards"?...I am pretty sure he said "lawyers")

"The judges at the gates of Israel were only men..."

"Thank you for that question!!"

"We are not like other churches where they just go to church and then don't talk to each other..." !!!!????

"Thank you for that question!!! Your Honor..."

"I hope to be able to ask Jesus himself that question sometime in the future!"

Oh my...I better stop for now...

But, Sparrow, I must say, thank you for asking that question. :)

*to add -

I forgot two of my favorites.

"We don't run a spy network"

"We don't run a police state."

"Thank you for that question..."

Ya dummy, Jackson...nobody asked you that question...

Jackson's apology was over the top. Ugh.

The best response to that display is this:

"Show me the money."

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.

James: "I have met people who have walked away and there is no problem"

Well, he is half right.

The problem often only occurs once that bad person wants to return. Then they have to face a Judicial Hearing to get back in...and they could be disfellowshipped at that point. And have to sit in the back row for a year or so...whatever those oh so wise elders decide.

And, I too, know people who have faced "no problems". My father for one. And my older brother. Both inactive - faded. But never a problem.

My mother was disfellowshipped for "unChristian like behavior". She worked in a bar. Two elders went in the bar and watched her at work. My sister was put on probation by the elders for a year after she was raped.

Yup, Sparrow, you right!

And I got sick of hearing about his sick and ailing father. FFS. Ya got the resurrection hope, doncha?

Suck it up, Buttercup.*

Death is a part of life. The victims are living breathing people who are suffering, too.

*I don't mean you, Sparrow! I am talking about Pope Geoff!

GB member Geoffrey Jackson is lying!

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

OrphanCrow

berryjerry: he was also about 40% sincere.

Sorry, but I disagree. Jackson is a consumate liar and a bad actor who thinks he is the star on stage. He knows his lines but has no human compassion. He is a jerk.
