i have published a new article at watchtower corporal punishment, as a response to the testimony that geoff jackson gave at the royal commission.
it includes the relevant part of the transcript, along with a string of watchtower quotes to show that what he presented was not accurate, and that watchtower translates rod as a literal implement to hit children with.

Cognac - Hi Paul, Are you sending the RC this article?
Angus has read it. I am not sure that the RC is looking to legally pursue individuals, but I thought the information may help them identify that Watchtower does change its doctrine to be more secular under legal pressure.
Also having evidence of the GB dishonesty and contempt shown to the system should make sure the RC does not go soft on its condemnation of their practices and its recommendations for change.
does anyone remember this classic quote from a society publication??.
i remember it has been quoted many times, but i cant find the reference.. if this comment is to be taken literally, it condemns the organization anytime there has been a complete changes in teachings and doctrine!

Tornintwo - thank you for the kind comments. I would like to write more about the Royal Commission, but rarely get time were I can sit down, and get in the zone I need to be in to write. It takes me ages by the time I find all the quotes and cross check everything.
Sabin there are a number of Watchtower quotes presented in the article where it says "spanking" is ok, or to use a "rod". These are prior to the year 2000 though. That is the point of the article. Watchtower showed that they are willing to gradually amend their teachings despite what the Bible says, yet contradicted this to the RC when saying they cannot change their teaching on the Two Witness rule.
username The term the watchtower uses is 'theocratic warfare'.

2015, questions and answers!.
.. these are some of the questions we have received and the answers to those questions.. .. 1. what happened a few months back when atlantis had to disappear.. .. answer: it wasn't so much that atlantis had to disappear.
it was that atlantis had to take a break due to a serious family situation.
Thank you for the update. I have benefited greatly from Atlantis' work for over a decade, and more recently from files you have sent. It makes it so much more appreciated now I know some of the story behind the name. It is beautiful to know your hair is in memory of your mother.
I am so glad that you could carry on the work for your family. My son is 7 and intrigued by what I do on my site and is constantly asking questions about Jehovah's Witnesses. At this stage he wants to carry on my site when I no longer am able to.

none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.
just found out this morning.
i very seldom receive a call from my jw siblings, i mean seldom.
i can count them on my hand in past 10 years.
while we talk about mom a lot and i am in touch with her, i was very surprised when i received this call.
You are really not interested in returning to Jah, WT, KH? I answered if they will continue worshiping WT after October 31?
Great response. Every time a Jw says the end is about to come they need to be pulled up and asked "what will you do when it doesn't?" Make them put their money where their mouth is and commit to what they preach.
i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.
it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.
that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.
that is the truth-- that's really how i think now.
so why should i tell the truth?
just look at the person i've become.
If you boyfriend did not trust you when you were saying the truth, then it is a good indication that he is not an honest person.
I have changed a lot of my standards, but honesty is the one thing I have adamantly held to. My level of honesty shocks a lot of people, intrigues them, and results in forming great levels of trust.
It sounds to me that your view of honesty has been damaged by your boyfriend. Don't let that experience taint you.
