New Geoffrey Jackson statement on Royal Commission's webpage!!!!!!!!!!!!

check his signature... it looks kind of childish/feminine (at least in my part of the world)... is this a grown man's signature for you?.

What strikes me with this along with Jackson's testimony is the pompous display of importance, (in his mind), of the "depth" of their investigation into the scriptures used so that they do things "just so." They/he misses/miss the big picture of how that just doesn't matter at this point in time. What matters is how to handle abuse cases today, and no one really cares about an in depth review of bronze age law. It was appropriate for that time, but not today. The point is lost on him to the disbelief of the justice and the onlookers. **sigh**

I so wish we could hear Angus' rebuttal to these statements.

soooo...i have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and am scared out of my mind.

in a weak moment, i called my parents and my mom answered.

i start crying as i tell her about my disease, and this woman says to me:.

Dagney

That is weird. I am so sorry you have to deal with that on top of your diagnosis.

Bethel Provides Excellent Clarification of "This Generation"

by berrygerry in

bethel clarifies "this generation" via letter.

Great video.

Kind of frustrating. But then, Bethel should keep on doing exactly what they are doing. Those that can see through the bluster and double speak will be questioning. Those that buy it should stay right where they are...they need it.

New light from GB member David Splane!

by Island Man in

in the latest jw broadcast splane is quoted as saying:.

"suppose there was a man who died 10 minutes before joseph was born.

would he be part of joseph's generation?

Dagney

Oh he is brilliant. Taking a simple concept, "generation," and complicating it so people will believe they have some special knowledge. I can hear the "ooohs and aaaahs" now about this "special" insight.

I've heard 2 people have found the RC hearings

one "brother" was just texting me how good the regional convention was 2 days ago, when today it was "did you see what is happening in australia?

jackson was interviewed!

" lolololol.

Dagney

This is so exciting. Those that don't have their rose colored glasses on, like your friend, will absolutely see and understand what happened there at the RC. It will hit them between the eyes and in the gut as it did us.

There could not have been a better interrogator as Angus, and the justice with his quiet, determined way, just added that touch of disgust we all felt when hearing those answers.

Like I said before, I wonder how the WBTS is going to spin the numbers in Australia. They will do something to make it look like the hearings had no effect on the JW population.

Exciting times this! xoxox

Another "brother" I heard was talking about the hearings to another MS in the hall.

This hearing was amazing and validating for us ex's. We couldn't stop watching...many triggers...many memories. Even if the GB are never compelled to change their policies on their own, these videos of their words and attitudes will be there forever for all to stumble upon. It is the gift that will keep on giving. The only bright spot in just a despicable, heinous ongoing history of the judicial procedures of the WBTS.

How many here believed, down deep in your heart that the end would come in 1975?

by James Mixon in

i was straddling the fence on that one, just in case they were right.

i don't recall.

telling anyone this is your last chance.

Dagney

Didn't believe it even though it was talked about constantly. I did think it was going to happen...sometime...with about 50% surety.

It just didn't seem probable. But did I leave? Nooooooooooo!!!
