so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.
I saw the landings on British TV as a kid - allowed to stay up very late because it was early hours of the morning here.
It wasn't until the excellent "Capricorn 1" in the late 70's about faked Mars landings that anyone started on about faked moon landings.
however, it may be that they are trying to find jackson and see if he will come in to assist.
it has been said on a wt friendly news site, that jackson has declined.
i don't know what this means in terms of what the rc will decide to do.
No it's over for the time being. (Save for the possible appearance of GJ)
You probably were thinking of when Justice McClellan on Wednesday July 29th adjourned until Friday July 31st.
I'll miss it. But then again I need to wash the car and do some chores.
hi everyone, i joined this site 9 years ago, posted a few times but decided i just didn't want anything to do with the jw's anymore including perusing exjw sites.
i felt that i just had to completely "detox" myself from this religion, not even talking about how much disgust i had for it.
it did a wonder of good.......but, i recently came across an article about the australian child abuse cases and started to see what was happening with that, which got me here again.
we haven't been to a meeting or jw event in several years.
we have been following the rc closely.
it is fascinating!

I've tried to get to listen to all the commission but I don't recall the excellent Mr. Stewart grilling any top brass jw's about reappointing a molester to be an elder and referring to this manual.
Can anyone point me to such an exchange or if not can someone offer to the commission the possible benefit of such an exchange based on this damning evidence?
apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.. has every elder called to the stand had his own personal attorney?
it certainly appears this way.
if this is the case, how are they able to afford this?
wednesday 5 , day 7 live hearing.

Bet today's "Wednesday Governing Body Meeting" will be fun!

Sadly he'll probably be on the next plane out. And although we won't see him on the stand. We will know that he has cut and run. No different from the trolley dollies packing up after being asked a tough question on the street corner.
Shame they can't prevent him leaving the country. Or can they? Will they.
"mental wondering in the wilderness"... uh oh.... it's a long post from snakes.... lol.
yep... i think that is the best way to describe where i am at in life right now.
if you have read my past posts (mostly in the private section) you know some of my history as a life-long (now former) witness.. i have been away from the jw religion, for all intents and purposes, since dec. 06, though it was not until sept 07 that i stopped attending meetings.
by popular demand i give you day 4, and i will finally get a couple of days to sleep .
part 1 has been uploaded and part 2,3 and 4 will soon be available.. part 1:.
