  I watched Mr. Jackson last night with my super cult minded parents

  by Magwitch in

  2. scandals

  i have seen some ask on this site how the active jw's are handling what is happening in australia.

  here is my little experience from last night........ my parents were baptized in the late 30's as children and have never faltered in their determination to survive the great tribulation and live forever in paradise (even though they actively associate with all their df'ed kids).

  my father is still actively serving as an elder and my mother has always been by his side.

  Heaven, The part that infuriates me the most is all the family illustrations in the cult literature that portray that poisonous organisation as loving and inclusive..........Human rights .......Article 19 – Freedom of Expression “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. My mother was dis-fellowshipped a process which destroyed her and she dies a very broken unhappy women unable to parent. (a dog gone back to its vomit). My remaining parent has not made me an orphan but deprived himself of meaningful/fun/complex family relationships that are so essential for us as to be balanced happy social beings and support you need as you get older. Will not be looked after in old age by organisation many old faithful (fanatical) witnesses dumped in worldly aged care homes only visited if they can make time.........

  Do you have any recording devices? Question at JW Judicial Committee. Can we use this weapon against them?

  what labels the watchtower judicial system as a completely kangaroo court is the secrecy in which they take place.

  i was asked this question by 5 elders who sat as judges over me over the charges get this "speaking against the organization" this was truly the most kangarooie of the kangaroo courts ever.

  when they first invited me to this meeting by 2 elder at my place of work i asked them what the charges were and was told speaking against the organization to which i said right the charges down on a piece of paper and sign it to which they refused.

  They like to play it both ways "unlettered and ordinary men" and judges with the power of life or death within the secretive confines of the cult. The royal commission has revealed that the lack of understanding of judicial process and thus enact cruel, demeaning and dangerous policies and proceedures that cause terrible ongoing damage not only to the victium but often whole families. The royal commision shinning a spotlight has shown that origanisation as a corrupt power crazed publishing orgainisation built of a very dubiouss foundation...................Quoted before Judge Brandis "Best disinfectant is sunshine"..........

  The cult mentality seems to give them the impression of unaccountably and isolation form Satans big bad world. Flights from USA to Sydney typically take around 14 to 15 hours. Not enough time for even a glance at the transcripts???? So glad none of my cash is paying her fees anymore!

  I hold my elderly parent responsible for the fear that he instilled in us fear of worldy people, education, celebrations, thinking and reasoning as intelligent autonomous human beings and fear of reprisal when we disappointed the organisation.......My parent wholly owned body and soul by the organisation and is not able to love me unconditionally which really leaves me parent less, him childless (although he did tell me that if I wouldn't love jehovah and his organsation he could find plenty of spiritual daughters in the organisation) and now that he is a very old man will the organisation look after him when he is very frail the organisation??? Since they are happy to keep in the spirit of the two witness rule may be they will apply kings 1.1.

  1Now King David was old, advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm. 2So his servants said to him, "Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and become his nurse; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm." 3So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.… Another theocratic use of young women hot water bottle!

  going back to the blood bit Stewart said 'one time jws at one time would not accept whole blood and fractions [ wt61" jws will not accept whole blood or fractions of blood"], but then fractions became acceptable in 2000. Jackson.. we do not go past the things written". What happened to 'let your yes be yes' was that not 'written'. Who does one say got that wrong, man[gb], or Holy Spirit. mr possum

  Preparing for Friday's Feeding Frenzy

  2. beliefs

  many hundreds and perhaps thousands of people, worldwide, are eagerly waiting for the questioning of geoffrey jackson at the australian royal commission on institutional response to child abuse.

  this is the day that many have hungered for.

  finally, a member of the governing body being questioned and compelled to make full disclosure, to the best of his knowledge, the very best of his knowledge.

  "And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

  i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

  so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".
