one of the contributing factors to me leaving was the realisation we were being led by idiots.
bethel life reinforced that, middle aged ego's trying to suck up to brooklyn.
ray franz book was a final nail for me, because he described the same incompetence along with the same ego's.
I think it's an own goal in the UK. It was bad enough being reminded that it was essentially an American religion when we just had to listen to the audio of the drama at the district convention annually but now they're piping it into their homes every month?
I can just imagine what my parents are thinking watching Lett gurning at them from the gogglebox sounding like Forrest Gump's poor relation 😂
pray for brother jackson of the governing body!.
in todays news from australia it appears that, despite his previous declination to appear when invited, justice mcclellan from the australian royal commission on child sex abuse will officially summon brother geoffrey jackson to the stand after all.. ..... the commission was due to conclude its hearings into the jehovahs witnesses on wednesday but justice mcclellan said he will now call geoffrey jackson, a senior member of the churchs governing body in new york who is currently in australia, to appear next week.. .

i pressed all the wrong buttons.
here it is, posted about an hour ago..
with all the talk about the org's policies and failures regarding child sexual abuse being publically exposed in australia, i thought that it may be a good time to highlight this... i apologise if this has already been discussed, but on the 9th of july the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales was opened.
here is some information regarding it's aims.. "about the inquiry.
the inquiry offers an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in england and wales have taken seriously their responsibility to protect children.. the inquiry will investigate a wide range of institutions including:.
I have contacted them, I hope others do too. Watching the Australian Royal Commission has made me think it's not beyond the realms of possibility for the governments to enforce change.
just a thought... i wonder if anyone has brought to their attention the recent jw.org video from lett (with very dubious timing) suggesting that any and all media reports about how the org handles abuse are lies from apostates, and how no one is more protective of abuse victims than the org ...seems to me that that video is very damning evidence of their attempt to silence victims from coming forward with complaints - further victimizing and traumatizing them.i hope they have seen that video - and i hope they bring it up.
i am thoroughly enjoying watching the org squirm.
anyone ever seen pictures or the actual houses and cars the gb own?
im wondering if the live a middle class lifestyle or more like high society?
