first off, i don't think that dude is going to show face.
he's most likely on a plane already.
if he shows it's bad pr and if he doesn't show it's bad pr.
I would like him to explain how the GB develops their interpretations of the scriptures and why the two witness rule is literal but the stoning is not.
I also think it would be important to this case to know how the GB determines how to adjust their rules - does the GB still vote? Is it still 2/3 majority rules?
How can the Royal Commission be certain that the entire GB understand the gravity of this situation and will revise their rules accordingly?
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.
I don't know you personally umbertoecho but I am so proud of you. Your posts have brought tears to my eyes.
If I was in your shoes I don't know that I could muster up the same courage and risk so much. You are a hero and so are the rest of the individuals who risk everything in telling their personal stories.
Bravo!!!!

last week we had the cos visit and i wanted to share my experiences with you.
some background info on me, i knowttatt and am fully awake, my wife also knows my doubts and read a few things on the internet but she is still 100% commited to the truth, saying everything on the apostate sites are lies.
so right now i am in just to keep the status quo.
Umertoecho, that's really underhanded for a wife to do. That would definitely damage my trust in my spouse. What I don't get is if she knows you say things she considers "apostate" or whatever, why does she need to record you, especially if you were being recorded while talking to two elders? Sorry to hear about your situation.
Nevaagain, still, to know TTATT and have to attend meetings, meetings for field service, CO lunches (two of them in one week!!!!) and all the rest would just kill me. I couldn't do it. I give you credit for doing whatever you have to do in your life to stay sane. Just be sure to care for yourself and make sure you are happy too. It's not always about everyone else, sometimes it's just about us.
i just found these vidoes on youtube, maybe you have seen them already, but i thought i would share.
these canadian kids for me are courageous and inspiring.
more excellent public examples of non vitrial apostate awakening.

like the title says....those of you who made it out with you husbands or wives.
you people are so lucky!!!.
lucky because your wife or husband isn't brain dead and can think and reason for themselves.
I am really sorry to hear about your situation goingthruthemotions. I know it doesn't help a lot but you're not alone. Even for those of us whos spouse didn't wake up but also isn't a complete WT drone have had our relationship changed and aren't the same. It's painful and it hurts to watch a relationship get damaged or completely crumble over religion.
Please hang in there and keep sharing your thoughts on the board because you're not alone. There are so many here that have lost so much - this can be a great place of sharing and healing.

Ok I think I need a whiskey and for the record I dated a lot of dub girls just like those back in my day and know of what I speak. Find yourself a moabite mama or canaanite cutie (bethel terms).
much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.
her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.
astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.
