The Australian: Women to 'Never Rule' in Jehovah's church
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/latest-news/women-to-never-rule-in-jehovahs-church/story-fn3dxiwe-1227470092202.

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.

What is hypocritical about the Watchtower is that they pick and choose whatever scriptures they want. Yes, women can't have teaching positions but they can comment in the meetings even though the Apostle Paul said that he would not allow a woman to speak in church.
34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. - 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 New International Version

It's obvious they would make and justify exceptions to their rule when they deem it necessary. As we all know, we cannot expect consistency from the Watchtower. -

COLLINS, you previously made a request for the Watchtower library. I didn't realize that you wanted it without having to load the CD. So, not quite understanding the nature of your request, I sent you an email offering to mail it to you but you never answered back to correct me as to the nature of your request. A little politeness would be nice. -

Geoffrey Jackson. Seems he will be compelled to front up.
by umbertoecho inpray for brother jackson of the governing body!.
in todays news from australia it appears that, despite his previous declination to appear when invited, justice mcclellan from the australian royal commission on child sex abuse will officially summon brother geoffrey jackson to the stand after all.. ..... the commission was due to conclude its hearings into the jehovahs witnesses on wednesday but justice mcclellan said he will now call geoffrey jackson, a senior member of the churchs governing body in new york who is currently in australia, to appear next week.. .

cognac:
"If he's sincere, loving and humane in his actions, I would think he couldn't help but be honest in the way he takes the stand. Maybe this would wake him and countless others, because of his sincere nature and the fact that the RC won't let them get away with anything."
Are you hoping that Geoffrey Jackson is another Raymond Franz? I doubt that he would have lasted long in the organization if he were.

Why I have renounced Atheism and become a believer again
by cantleave ini have always said that if a god showed itself i would follow the evidence and renounce my atheism.
i have now seen enough to start believing again, i am so happy, i feel a inner contentment, when he connected with me i really knew it was him.
if you are not a believer you will not understand this, but trust me, look at the evidence, open your heart to him, let him in and your life will change for the better.

- that the 99.99% of jw have not been told about "theocratic warfare" doctrine .
I disagree on that one. I knew about "Theocratic Tact", as it was then called, and I'm sure that many JWs knew/know about it in spite of the fact that many of them are ignorant about most of their religion.

That was dumb. Growing a beard will make you stand out even more.
