  Feedback on RC from JW Friendly Site

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there has been some comment on the latest rc proceedings on that well know jw friendly site.. one set of posts has been particularly interesting as the poster related their own experience as an abuse victim when they were a child in the congregation.

  this of course took courage and the poster deserves no criticism at all for this.

  he is, however, still very supportive of the organisation.. this is his latest post:.

  If I could still get pregnant, my next boy would be named Angus Stewart S_____. Seriously and sincerely. I'd get IVF if I wasn't too flipping old! He is my hero.

  I could adopt. . .

  Yesterday I posted a topic with personal details of one of the RC staff.

  i posted a topic with personal contact information on it.

  such stupidity and i do deeply apologise to the person and the commission.. it has been taken down thank fully.. this morning i came skulking out of my cave, and with trepidation started the computer and checked my emails.............. there was a lovely compassionate email from the staff at rc telling me not to be too upset at what i had done.

  they said they understood and it was important that i not get too distressed at the error.. then they said they were thankful for all the support and gratitude being shown to them from various parties and other places.

  So, the men that we have seen responding like human beings to these things have a whole staff of real human beings? Wow. What an example that those "worldly" people set!

  They know the RC is going to be an issue: August Broadcast talk with Tony

  by leavingonthenextplane in

  they are told that persecution is coming and that all will see it.. they are told that there will be lies in the media about us.. they even give the old brother king interview about brothers being jailed.

  the last sentence tony the tiger damn near screams at the camera to stay faithful you integrity keepers... he knows your fathers and husbands may be going to jail.

  this talk is all about damage control.. .

  Is he insinuating that all brothers are abusers or guilty of covering it up?

  Not much in the way of actual persecution is going on, so it tells me there may be a legal reason right now why many will go to jail. What's really going on in all those elder meetings?

  Maybe jackson is going to lob some bombshells. God I would go to the kingdom hall in a dress to watch the congregations reaction. That's a looooong vacation from bethel! Isn't that how Franz started? A l.o.a.?

  JW EXPERT WITNESS FLOORED BY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY LAWYER

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  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.

  The WT was counting on the inquiry being filled with people who are as ill-educated and informed about their religion as Applewhite and other experts who testify for them. They were counting on this to be some po-dunk little inquiry that had no bearing in the real world and which would be blinded by their smoke and mirrors (and their own theory that other religions are worse, so theirs should be applauded)

  Think how many judges and juries have been given the WT version over the years and buy into it without too many questions. Always with the pretty outside impression of nice people spreading the gospel. . . how could anyone blame them when bad people infiltrate? But that was the entire purpose of the inquiry with EVERY group(case study)-to find the real issues in this and correct them. They aren't picking on the WT, they are trying to get to the truth and I think they are smart cookies. This is not about the govt picking on them, the prosecutor picking on them. This is a REAL look at how things work. No one is getting into trouble. Yet:) There will be new laws as a result of this RC and it will be directed to all organizations-not just religious (so much for that all religions will be persecuted bit they like to holler about).

  Applewhite is just the kind of beaurocratic silliness that helps them-the ones who look at written things and no NOTHING of the underlying structure and culture. The RC guy-(who I might form a fan club for) did his homework. He isn't busy trying to look like a super efficient fast talking Perry Mason. He is thoughtful, listening and respondiing with a thorough background in the entire topic. He is my new hero.

  The WT and its minions have gotten away with so much for so long that they don't even bother trying anymore. This testimony is a testament to that.

  Do you feel vindicated by the exposure of the WT Society in Australia? It seems like a feeding frenzy on here! I love it. You?

  are you pleased with the exposure of the society in australia?

  do you feel personally vindicated by it?

  do you think it gives you credibility with others now that all the things you said were going on, actually are documented?

  Sofialose, I am sure that some investigative reporter at the local Hispanic community paper would like something meaty. . .in the US, a lot of the publicized cases had Hispanic congregations or defendants involved. Put a bug in someone's ear.

  Vindicated but the scope and harm is very real and substantiated in a way that even personal experience didn't prepare me for. It's very sad to see grown men so delusional about the harm they've inflicted.

  WT Lawyer trying to force His Honour to allow Miss Apple to garner more info showing how good WT is

  by umbertoecho in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  hello to all who are watching.

  his honour is being tested by wt lawyer in the last thirty minutes of day 4. the lawyer wants to bring in updates on the societies handling of child molestation cases.. his honour tells the lawyer that if he "lawyer" wants a contest between who is better than who....forget it.. his honour is slightly pissed off as wt lawyer just won't back down and insists that this evidence is very important and........"progressive" ( i think ) his honour then continues to tell nice wt jerk type lawyer, that if he thinks this will dispel all that happened to past victims..........think again.. i rough summary but fairly accurate people......god, that wt lawyer is a hateful lying, scheming son of a bitch........

  I think when your best argument is that your shit is slightly less stinky than the next guy's shit when comparing certain volatile organic compounds, then you've already lost.
