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.

JW's came to my door 6 weeks ago. I told them I was inactive.......

by Alchemist in

6 weeks ago some jws came to my door.

i've been inactive for 8 years.

after they gave their presentation i told them i was inactive.

Hi Alchemist,

Please don't return. Don't think there is nothing out there, so many churches have great teaching where you will feel good about your connection to God and not feel guilty all of the time. Enjoy re-learning the Bible without being told was to believe.

This fear we have been brainwashed with is not real. This religion has changed for the worse in the last 8 years. You will waste more of your life if you do it.

Happy to communicate more by PM if you need some support.

Geoffrey Jackson compares waiting for Armageddon to waiting for Brazil to score a goal against Argentina!

by GodZoo in

wtf!https://vid.me/8tuy

I wonder if that Brazilian soccer player would stop before the goal and start a massive building project instead of "kicking the ball".

I wonder if they even open the Bible these days

Matt. 20;16 Your understanding 'The last shall be first

by James Mixon in

back the dead ( family member, jw love one, ex wife, ex husband and etc) you must know.

their personality..ok it sound logical when you are a jw.lol.

Hey James

Yes, all of the resurrection never made sense to me until I ditched everything they have taught us and read the scriptures with an open mind, especially in light of what normal Christians believe.

Fun at The WT This Morning

by OneFingerSalute in

so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.

14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".

after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

iwasblind

Well done, you have caught them in their circular reasoning.

8 hrs i can't get back: What a waste of my time the DC was, Wife is in full cult mode, rubbish from the talks

by goingthruthemotions in

omg...what a waste of a day.....my wife is in full cult mode.

we had one chair seperating us in the bleachers.

we did not talk on the way to and on the way from.

iwasblind

Hey there, if you want to stop going insane, look up the scriptures they show and look at them in context, even follow the cross references.

The scriptures that they are twisting, which are many are a good source to ask your wife - "hey check this out".... "look what I found"...."what do you think this means"...maybe it will start the little doubts.

We have found with our family when you attack the GB you get nowhere but asking bible questions in a non-confrontational manner gets further.

Not sure if that helps, I can understand how you feel. My prayers are with you.
