  Phone call straight after the Royal Commission

  by umbertoecho in

  straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.

  it was one of the people who are working on it.

  firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.

  umbertoecho, would it be possible to suggest to the commission that they have an ex jw advisor present at the hearings to bring up Watchtower articles that contradict the testimony being given by people like GJ? The BS Jackson gave about it's being presumptuous that the GB considers itself to be God's sole representative on Earth would have been easy to expose using the Watchtower articles.

  Would this be any use to the Royal Commission?

  i believe this shows how the org.

  doesn't want to be held accountable to secular legal authorities.. in the 1991 green elders handbook (used between 1991 and 2010) there is a blank page (page 143) and at one elders school we were instructed to write six expressions that "should not be used on s77 + s79 forms (df and da forms)".. 1) anything alluding to or naming one of the society's legal advisers.. 2) any mention of the legal desk.. 3) any comments referring to direction from the society.. 4) any comments mentioning anyone other than the committee itself as a possible influence in the decision reached.. 5) any comment that might suggest someone with a critical eye that the committee did not reach its decision on its own but instead somehow yielded to the influence of an outside party.. 6) any comments indicating the elders mishandled the case or committed any error in the investigation or the judicial committee process.. i have in my possession two elders handbooks with these exact words written in each in different handwriting.

  "What I'm hoping for is another few days of just grilling Jackson they way they did the other guys."

  Vidiot, At the end of Jackson's testimony the judge excused him from his summons. That should mean that he's no longer going to testify. Too bad.

  It's too bad that Stewart did not have one of us at his side to call up Watchtower articles contradicting Jackson's lies. The one where Jackson said that it would be presumptuous for the GB to believe that they are God's sole channel of communication was the biggest whopper of them all.

  New Congregation Position Soon? ELDERESS?

  i just listened to most of geoffrey jackson's royal commission testimony and i have to say i really enjoyed the multiple times he had to state he would get back to them and would research their questions.. the royal commission was asking if policy could be changed to have women serve on a committee to decide the case and then that bodies decision be brought to the elders to decide whether to show mercy or to disfellowship and individual.

  three times the judge had to ask mr. jackson to answer his question.. it was amazing how jackson could not find a scripture to show his honor that women were prohibited to serve as elders.

  he could only support that men are appointed as elders.. hmm... i've never been a member of the governing body with all their years of so called spiritual training, but even i remember deborah the prophetess, when the judge asked jackson if women could serve as a judge.. i was so hoping that the judge or mr. stewart would refer to deborah.

  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!.

  SimonSays, happy to see you again our dear archenemy.

  Just remember this, nothing your false prophet organization said would happen has happened and nothing that it now says will happen in the future is actually going to happen. Remember that when you're on your death bed looking back on a wasted life.

  Jackson said that they don't have a "Spy network" to keep an eye on the person. Unless it's 2 AM with two elders keeping surveillance on their house to see if anyone of the opposite sex comes in.

  I'm a little confused. Are JCs in Australia made up of only 2 elders instead of 3 like the U.S.?

  Read Judges 4 & 5 where you find this:

  4 Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. 5 She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. 6 She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. 7 I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’” Judges 4:4-7 New International Version
