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 just saw that! I loved the way Eugene McClellan handled that. All the JWs want to do is change the subject and glorify themselves rather than admitting to how backwards their policies really are.

Hundreds of JW Child Molesters in Australia not Reported to Police- CNN News you tube

by flipper in

i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

i thought this report was very well done.

here's the link : http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/28/australia-jehovah-witness-sex-abuse-hannigan-lklv.cnn.

Thanks for posting this Flipper. I've been re-posting the video on various boards that ex-JWs and some of our local politicians can see. I'm so glad the Australians are doing this.

The Australian Royal Commission hearings on the JWs handling of child abuse begins here in the US later today. It will be streamed.

by AndersonsInfo in

the royal commission hearing starting on monday, july 27, 2015 - australian day and date - (and it could go on until august 7th depending on how many witnesses testify) regarding jehovah's witnesses handling of child abuse is supposed to be streamed.. it could be that the hearing will only be audio not video although we were informed it will be streamed.

we'll find out in a few hours.. i live in the central time zone of the us and right now here it is sunday, 3: 45 pm.

in sydney, australia, it is 15 hours ahead of us.

I hope that the actions of the Royal Commission will be an example to authorities here in the United States. After all it's an American religion!

According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

by flipper in

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

Excellent post Flipper. This is reckless and dangerous policy.

Injected Buddhist teachings into Watchtower Study today

by cappytan in

on the paragraph about meditation in today's study, i gave a comment about "meditating with a view towards mindfulness and awareness of the positive things in our lives.".

afterwards, about 8 people that i rarely talk to in the congregation came up and expressed how much they appreciated that point.. wanted to say, "thank the buddha.

" but didn't have the guts.

Good work Cappytan, I used to enjoy doing this kind of thing too. Bringing in things learned from self-help, psychology and the like is something I used to do to spruce up my comments and talks.

Im still young (19)....just reading Crisis of Conscious

by Blackfalcon98 in

hi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!

the thing that gets me now that im enlightened is how little the rank and file know about anything this organazation does!

everything is so secretive and covered up behind a curtain.

truthsetsonefree

It is so good that you're reading this now at 19. When I was 18 I questioned but the only thing I read was the Your Will Be Done On Earth book. That of course just convinced me that the organization was correct about things. Had I had CoC then things would have been different. Mind you it had just been written. But I was too naive to know how to get my hands on it.
