Listener: Yes, the definition I posted was from a simple Google search and you conveniently chose to quote only part of it and that part which does not apply.
Lol! Yeah...trying to converse with RO is like chasing a greased pig, isn't it?

darkspliver: ...
Therefore it seems that the referral from the Royal Commission took place before the public hearings for Case 29/JWs as they where held in July 2016No. You need to check your dates, dakspliver. You are one year off.
The public hearings for Case 29 - the Jehovah's Witnesses - were held in July 2015

2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration
by darkspilver insteve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?
i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.
note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

sparrowdown: ... but even so surely gay men pose more of a threat to their male centric witness world.
Maybe we could just think about that for a minute, Sparrow... *thinkin'...thinkin'...*
Maybe, just maybe....that male centric witness world doesn't really have a problem with male homosexuals at all. Maybe it's just the lesbians that threaten the male centric witness world.

steve2: How would Emily have replied if she had been talking directly to her lesbian classmates? Funny that the demonstrations on this topic are always about JWs talking to others about homosexuality.
Funny that the demonstrations (and the earlier Sophie video) on this topic are always JW women/girls talking about lesbians.
Try flipping the genders. How would this demonstration play out if it was a nonJW boy saying the same thing to a JW boy...but about two of their male classmates?
It is so strange - the women/girls are not included in this year's sporty convention cover - just the men are encouraged to not give up, keep on running! The encouraging messages are directed towards males.
But, the girls are used as examples - they are the ones who "set the example".
This is the same as the recent emoji worksheet - aimed at girls. Girls telling girls how to behave.
But...no girls included in the real race! Nope...no girls running for Jehovah. Just girls talking about lesbians...at a convention of sporty jocks with clean haircuts and muscles.
It is sort of perverse, isn't it? Or at least...a bit weird?

pleaseresearch: When will Round 2 be for the Watchtower?
The public hearing will commence in the week beginning 6 March 2017 at the Royal Commission’s hearing rooms in Sydney.
Richard...you had said: "... the second case study is about the policy changes that the ARC has recommended and that if any have been implemented by Watchtower."
Richard...Can you please direct the readers to where you read that information? I cannot find it on the website you recommended...is this just your interpretation of events yet to occur or have you heard another rumor that has originated in the Towerland?

2. Factors that may have contributed to the occurrence of child sexual abuse at Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd institutions.
3. Factors that may have affected the institutional response of Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd to child sexual abuse.4. The responses of Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd to relevant case study report(s) and other Royal Commission reports.

flipper: I don't understand the hesitance on the other posters here in accepting this story. Thousands of JW's have died from not receiving life saving blood transfusions throughout the years. Why on earth would this Facebook poster be making this story up ? It sounds legitimate to me . Seems as if he is sincerely mournful over the loss of life of this dear lady.
Agreed.
Hundreds, thousands, and more...have died and not been documented in the "reliable" sources that the skeptics demand.
Just think about Eloise Dupuis - the young mother in Quebec who recently died after childbirth. The one and only reason that her death was documented in "reliable" sources was because her nonJW aunt made sure it was.
And then there was Mirlande Cadet. She died within days of Eloise but her death would have gone unnoticed except for all the attention that Eloise's death was getting. Mirlande would not have made it into the "reliable" sources except for Eloise's aunt starting the rumbles in the media and then a reporter getting alerted to the other "insignificant" blood death.
And how many more? How many each year?
That is what makes this story significant - it is one of the very few blood refusal deaths that do make it into the news...even if that news source isn't as reliable as most want it to be.
Guess what? I had an uncle die because of the blood ban. His death didn't make it into "reliable" news sources. But he still died.
I don't need "reliable" news sources to shout out that the WT has claimed another young life.
ANOTHER YOUNG WOMAN HAS DIED NEEDLESSLY

Apparently, William Tyndale was an early J-Dub?
by My Name is of No Consequence inmy wife and son were watching the january broadcast and one of the segments was about william tyndale.
william tyndale was a bible translator in the early 16th century.
i always knew that the org held men like tyndale, john hus and john wycliffe in high regard.
