  We haven't been to a meeting or JW event in several years. We have been following the RC closely. It is fascinating! For those still attending, is anyone talking at the meetings, field service car groups or other JW events about what is going on in Australia? Just curious. Is this big to the JW's or are they not aware of the issues? We are in the U.S.

  during yesterday's rc proceedings (wednesday 5th august 2015), one of the victim's lawyers questioned mr vincent toole, the jw organization's legal counsel for the australian branch office.

  she asked him why at least two of the jw elders who gave evidence last week refused to swear on the bible.

  mr toole appear puzzled by her question and said he did not know.

  Try contacting the Watchtower with a question and getting a response?

  Thank you for your support and interest, and for the information.

  a jehovah's witness official says the church's stance to never let women hold decision-making roles compares to muslim and aboriginal people adhering to their own ancient beliefs.

  I have worked and associated with women that could run circles (intelligence/financially) around these "men."

  This cult treats women as second class citizens. I could tell this pissed the commission off. This cult is not fooling the RC, they see right through it.

  They know the RC is going to be an issue: August Broadcast talk with Tony

  by leavingonthenextplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they are told that persecution is coming and that all will see it.. they are told that there will be lies in the media about us.. they even give the old brother king interview about brothers being jailed.

  the last sentence tony the tiger damn near screams at the camera to stay faithful you integrity keepers... he knows your fathers and husbands may be going to jail.

  this talk is all about damage control.. .

  "Funny how he mentions that no matter what they do people will always point things out."

  It's funny how that works...you abuse people and people always point it out. Hmm!

  Hey Tony...people are pissed. You opened your BIG MOUTH during the Zone meeting (and you continue to run your mouth). The GB is getting exactly what they deserve.
