  August 2020 - Five Years Post RC - What Will JW.org Be Like?

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  1. will jw.org implement all / some of the recommended changes?.

  2. will jw.org proudly refuse citing that they will "obey god as ruler rather than men"?.

  3. will news about the rc goes viral, and how will the world at large respond?.

  I think it needs to become a meme as you mentioned of priests and choir boys.

  When it's on saturday night live, or other shows like the tonight show it's over for them.

  "And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

  i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

  so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

  We are not thinking folks. What is the best way to get JW's to check out the events in Australia.

  by James Mixon in

  tell our jw family members, door knockers, and stand sitters that you were very impressed.

  by the branch overseer and other elders in australia, they gave a fine witness.. so what will happen, they will tell their friends the brothers in australia gave a fine.

  witness.

  I was thinking we should all call khs Wednesday and Thursday night right before the meeting by region using blocked numbers. I suggest starting at 7. We are likely to get a ms or elder prepping for the meeting.

  Briefly mention Jacksons defense of "our faith" in front of the australian royal commission on Friday. I think we leave what it is about out of it. Give the specific time and link and hang up.

  I know for me I almost left with the dateline airing.

  Quality Thinking - Warning: Long Post Ahead

  by Viviane in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently, several threads have had some debate about logic, evidence, critical thinking and skepticism.

  i wanted to write a post discussing those things, hopefully to clarify what those things are, why they are important and how to use those tools.

  first, logic, at its core, is simply a method for how to reason validly, how to draw conclusions based on a premise.

  Royal Commission and blood transfusion refusal for children?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder if the royal commission has examined the practice of jws being led to refuse blood transfusion for children when medically necessary to save life or preserve health in relation to the question of child abuse.

  i've not heard anything about this brought up.

  is the rc concerned solely with life altering abuse only in the form of sexual molestation, or is it looking at how the organization deals with all life altering forms of abuse jw children are exposed to the result of watchtower teaching and society?

  I wonder if I should reach out. I almost lost my son due to my backward thinking. I was an elder when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Had it not been for the courts my beautiful son would not be here. It is likely I wouldn't be either.

  I just told a jw in front of a donut shop in my new neighborhood that she was committing emotional blackmail. I think that is what we should call it - blackmail. The damage is both ways especially when family is inflicting it. When a parent commits this heinous act I believe the emotional scars become evident in all of the auto immune diseases so common amongst jws.

  Why I believe in God. Why I don't believe in God.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi i am delighted to be apart of the community.. having left the witnesses one of my first challenges was my believe in god.

  naturally.. i have concluded that i am alive and conscious.

  now my intuition tells me god exists, but my analytical thinking tells me god does not exist.

  People respond abusively to believers like you Perry. It is because of your asinigne statements like all people believe in God. Believers that are like you are no different than the jws that stick there head in the sand or have their apologetic responses at the ready.

  Faith is the antonym of fact. Belief requires one to stop critical thinking and is extremely dangerous.

  Contacted by Royal Commission today

  by umbertoecho in

  firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.

  no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.

  it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.

  Thank you for this post. You are one courageous person. Most survivors like yourself are the humblest people I have come across. I know you are not in this for money but for justice. With that said you need every penny you can get as that is the only justice the creeps at the top get. I hope you get compensated as you deserve that and more.

  sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.

  i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.

  he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.

  The only reason I could think of not sending is if the royal commission has a surprise subpoena. Which I seriously doubt. I imagine these things take months to put together. Even if it jeopardized there subpoena I still think it's worth it. The news coverage of a jw leader dodging the press would be priceless.

  I also wonder of Jackson could be the next Ray Franz. I admit that I don't know him well but he seems to be a genuine true believer. Not one that puts on a show like Lett or Morris.

  For those of you "not baptised" and too afraid to front the RC. WT is hoping you won't come forward.

  by umbertoecho in

  hello to those following what is going in australia with our royal commission.. i want to let all those abused, neglected, shunned and blamed that i understand why you may not front the rc.

  the wtbts is hoping you will consider yourself an invalid complainant, because you are not or were not.....baptised.

  if you were abused at a young age and you told on your dad or the bad man that did it.......you would have been taken aside by the overseer and read scriptures about lying and being immoral; even if you didn't know what that word meant.

  These wt apologists are disgusting. It doesn't matter what there leaders do or say. If I believed in hell I would say you should all burn in it.

  The only consolation I have is that for you apologists to say or defend the things you do means you already live in a special kind of hell. That of your f'd up minds.
