The increased use of videos bodes ill for assemblies. No more wild cards, every word scripted and approved. Can probably go to internet and sign up as webinars or something so they can chart your attendance.

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.. .

I love how mr. Stewart has a way of asking questions that are not accusatory and still their answers can only make them look like asses. or, he can make an inarguable, factual comment that demonstrates how demonic the practices are. One other thing, he is actually subtly showing how they interpret scripture in a way that is NOT the logical or reasonable way and certainly not correct.
I love how MUCH he does not rush, I love his quiet self confident composed competence.
Good qualities in a man generally!

My moms already shunning me from an article on fb about religion response to child abuse. Other religions were picked on (her words) too, but jws led the article.
I think most jws are unable to hear such things so they think that if I or you just shut up, no one would notice what the org is up to.

Got rid of some things, I feel relieved
by Mandrake inwell after a long way out, and the divorce of my jw parents, and a long internal struggle, i'm finally living with my mother, openly said to her that i'm not a jw anymore, she's ok with that and getting more and more open-minded every day.
today i visited my self storage space wich i rented after the family split and got rid of all the jw related stuff, my mother only asked me to keep the insight the scriptures volumes... i felt very relieved after disposing those things, one by one, not feeling, i hope my mother is her way to wake up soon :) greetings from santiago, chile!
(you will see some magazines in spanish others in english because i was in the list for the english versions hahaha)

Feedback on RC from JW Friendly Site
by konceptual99 inthere 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.
by umbertoecho ini 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.

They know the RC is going to be an issue: August Broadcast talk with Tony
by leavingonthenextplane inthey 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.?
