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

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

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.

my psychiatrist recommended this book, the feeling good handbook by david d. burns, md, to me a couple years ago.

this book has been mentioned on the forum several times before, but i thought i found some things threadworthy in it.

it's a big book of 732 pages.

The Smoke and Mirrors of the Annual Meeting
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the annual meeting seems to boil down to an opening talk about an "exciting new" bible museum and a closing talk about an "exciting new" new world translation.

sandwiched in between were the wt summary, a talk about indoctrinating the children fast/furious, and some "trip down memory lane.".

why would this "spiritual feast" seem to be anticlimactic?
