  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  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.

  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.

  I know this sounds cruel but why didn't Jehovah protect them? Isn't that what they always say is supposed to happen? I mean why would Jehovah allow this?

  My condolences to you Jim. I met Marilyn on a trip we took when I went to Florida some years back. She was a wonderful person.

  2. bible

  this was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!

  will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.

  this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.

  The Information control, pressure to give all resources to them (some caveats do apply on that), incomplete dsclosure of entry requirements up front to name a few.
