  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  I also predict double-speak, and half-truths. Is that smoke and mirrors in the top left?

  He looks like he's using a teleprompter.

  I kinda want to stay awake and watch it. But I'm so tired and my workdays start early.

  I don't think my watching it will improve the results in any way, so I think I'll wait to see it on YouTube tomorrow.

  Standing for Judge Okay - Standing for Anthem Wrong

  for decades before leaving, i always found this contradiction so hypocritical, and one of the harshest, emotionally damaging, things that this cult does to its young.

  I always found this...

  There's your problem right there. Stop looking for all the stupid stuff in WT and repeat after all the witness at the RC, "It's in the Bible!"

  Jw streaming conventions kept tightly under wraps why??

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  i have recently been given the ultra uber super duper secret convention login details to watch it on the streaming page.. with those details came a huge dose of "don't tell anyone else!

  " "apostates might get hold of it and twist it against us!".

  when you consider that the event itself is open to the public?.

  Speaking as one of those "apostates", most of us have already heard the "highlights", why would we waste our time watching that mess stream?

  Witness behavior in my gym ....

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  about two months ago two very attractive ladies in their mid 30's signed on at one of the gyms i belong to.

  for a while i noticed them watching me and naturally i assumed they were taking an interest in how i went about training my clients since many do before they decide to approach me and inquire about my services (i own a health and fitness consultancy).. sure enough one of them approached me a few weeks back and asked me for a business card, inquired about rates and various other aspects involved with signing on with me.

  i handed her a card and explained that my client schedule was full but she should consider signing on with one of my personal trainers who still had some open spots available.

  Since when do the dubs frown on gun ownership? Just about every JW I know down here in Texas owns at least one.

  Those aren't "guns". Down in Texas, those are called "Jesus sticks".

  Billy's comments to the RC #1 - "We always require at least two witnesses... except for when we don't."

  i'm still trying to catch up on the rc broadcast posted to youtube, and i haven't been able to keep up with everything discussed here about it.

  however, there have been a few points that i wish i could submit.

  repeatedly it has been stated that unless there is a confession, jcs can only act on testimony if it is corroborated by two or more witnesses to the wrongdoing.

  Geez, I've watched the replay on sections and that WT lawyer that does most of their talking, and sitting next to the blonde... I just want to punch him in the face. Such an annoying voice, manner, and message.

  Sorry Scully, but according to the brothers­™, that's all based on scripture.

  Vidiot, that was one of the things that really bugged me when they would say that they disfellowship pedophiles... WT also disfellowships anyone who speaks out against the bad policies of WT that allow pedophilia to flourish. People like Barbara Anderson were disfellowshipped with the same secrecy and with the same announcement as a child molester.

  In WT world, despite what has been said to the RC, apostasy is considered a far worse crime than child molestation. Look up "apostasy" in the WT litteratrash and you'll find more references than when you look up "protect children".

  What Watchtower Got Wrong with Their Child Molestation Policy

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in the style of stephen lett, i'm trying to come up with an exhaustive, enumerated list (without his crazy eyebrows, goofy facial expressions, and nutty voice).

  what watchtower has gotten wrong isn't just their 2 witness rule.

  it goes much deeper into other failures of jw dogma that has allowed this injustice and others to flourish in their organization.

  One reference I added was 2/15/13 WT pp. 22-24, but didn't explain it exactly this way... Not only did it state that children should not associate with kids at school under the subheading "Our choice of associates," the article is instructing the reader to not trust their own hearts, opinions, ideas.

  Why do those elders get that spaced out look in their eyes when they found themselves inclined to disagree with WT policies? Because their real inner personality realized that WT procedures were wrong. But they'd been clearly instructed in articles like this that when they are inclined to have any personal opinions, those must be smothered under the suffocating blanket of WT dogma.

  So not only are worldly people bad association, people with functioning brains are bad associations for themselves. Stop thinking and conform to WT!
