  What are JWs saying about the Royal Commission?

  by LexIsFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am wondering if there are any pro-jw blogs/sites that any of you visit and whether or not jws are aware of what is going on in australia.

  also, what is there reaction to it?

  (i may already know the answer to that last question.

  My hope is that a Dateline or 60 Minutes or something will do a segement on it once more of the commission's work is completed.

  pray 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.. .

  i was raised a witness, baptized at 16, vacation pioneered, got married, etc.

  i was very much your typical witness and believed it was the truth until last summer.

  a very close relative of mine left the witnesses.

  Atacrossroads welcome to the forum.

  I was a baptized witness for decades and faded away..... My wife is still a witness and we remain married. We had a couple years of rocky relationship while one as finding out TTATT but nothing really really bad. We have kids so staying married, if the household is peaceful and supportive, was important to both of us. She told me early on in my research and eventual fade that she wouldn't leave me. However, I know she feels frustration and disappointment that I am not active any longer.

  Our communication is improving. I am working hard at not being dismissive or angry sounding when she mention the hall or witness stuff. I don't don't talk bad about the wts but the kids and I do holidays and birthdays and I have several disfellowshipped friends. She even goes out with my work friends with me sometimes and we have a nice time. Of course we did that when I was active too.

  I hope there is something helpful in my story. Feel free to PM me if you want.
