your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!
i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.
revelation 17:4).and murderers, and fornicators (cf.
Personally I have got to the point in my life where I couldn't give two hoots what the goss is about me. I have lived A life of shame, hurt, violence, abuse, among'st other things all in the name of religion. Now I am out I am not about to worry what the sad weirdos who are not innocent themselves are saying about my departure!
When one points the finger, just remember, there are 3 pointing back...so so true!
well worth listening to if you have not already.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smerwqrw6no.
InformAnt and several others have done the same and all have hit a brick wall. If this is the true religion then surely they can stand up to this heat?!
Cowards!
the reality show "dating naked".
so the young lady said to the guy when they.
first met, wow must you look straight at my you know what.. are they running out of ideas for reality shows????.
since geoffrey jackson's appearance before the australian royal commission on friday there has for some been an expressed feeling of anticlimax.
it is as though he was given too much latitude to preach, to claim ignorance and to skirt questions.
more to the point, as much as i myself thought i would never have expected to say this, gj actually came across as likeable and - don't throttle me please!
I have to disagree in one observation. There were times where he did crumble. I an very astute at reading people due to watching my back during my time in this cult.
The cues are there, he may have had a silver tongue but his actions/body language gave him away. There was a certain amount of paranoia coming from him too. Due to him being revered as some sort of prophet, he will be used to people giving him full attention, hanging on every word he says. I noted twice Jackson Asking Stewart if Stewart could hear him, Stewart knew what he was doing, by not giving Jackson his full attention would have made Jackson very nervous indeed. The way Jackson asked was actually in quiet a panicky way!
i thought at the end, stewart made brilliant use of scripture (about establishing fornication or other sexually immoral practises) how, in such a clever way stewart used scripture to point out that some one could basically stake out someone's house to see if a person stayed over night be they homosexual or heterosexual............that on the basis of a sort of stakeout, the two witness rule was ambivalent yet it prevailed.
due to sufficient suspicion.. and therefore why did this "suspicion" not prevail with child sexual abuse.

straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.
it was one of the people who are working on it.
firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.
geoffrey jackson's unfailingly diplomatic responses during friday's royal commission hearings have undoubtedly limited damage to the reputation of the jw organization - but i could never again imagine the watchtower and awake!
magazines criticizing other religions over their responses to child sexual abuse within their parishes.
too close for comfort.
geoffrey jackson spent 20 minutes accepting the position that it is not scripturally prohibited for women to be used in the investigation process, although probably not the jc itself (he said he'd check the scriptures on that bit, but we can guess the outcome).. look out for the wives of elders jostling for and gaining these positions.
there will be no better opportunity for gossip mongers to raise their status in the congregation than being officially involved in the intimate private business of others in the congregation.. think of the power they will have in advising the elders on a jc if she thinks the victim is credible, with her opinion, bias and embellishments on the details.
i wouldn't fancy the chances of a victim who has previously fallen out with one of these 'helpers'.. whatever next, sisters handling microphones??!
The problem with having "mature sisters" only involved in allegations of sexual abuse would mean the watchtower would be admitting they have a problem in this area. Leading to the rank and file realising that the spiritual paradise is not actually that at all.
