  He didn't mean "bowing down" he meant "obeisance"! (Rolly eyes)

  Wouldn't that be funny? Instead of going with a placard or shouting out and getting chucked out a group of five or six could go and behave impeccably and then all clap together at a really inappropriate moment ...

  Sydney Australia convention:

  "So brothers Terrence O'Brien was going to give the next discourse but he is in the slammer for misleading the Royal Commission and .... (rapturous applause) "

  Get past the accent and the being put on hold and the round and round the houses.

  It is very very good.

  The brother - don't forget this is a service desk elder - is like a whipped puppy. Just hear his embarrassed voice.

  Discussing the RC with a friend and my JW wife was listening.

  i am fuming at the moment and my wife has made me so angry.. i live in germany and an ex jw, a friend of mine is also ex jw but does not understand english so i was giving him a rundown on the friday session of the rc with gj.

  my wife was in another part of the house but heard my phone ring and so she came to listen, i did not realize this, because when the phone rang i closed two doors between myself and my wife.

  she opened the first door and started listening to the conversation.

  I don't know ... is six months - of real unpleasantness I grant you - enough time to let your marriage fail without a fight?

  Your wife is scared witless and acting like a mind controlled drone - which she is. No backbone to stoically continue in her faith and act maturely.

  At 15 your daughter may well jump into this religion with her because she needs her mother's support. If you can bear it play a longer game.

  If not well fair enough. I don't know enough to advise you really.

  Early on, not sure if it was in her statement or when asked by her lawyer about how it all affected her I think she said "I'm taking a break" so I think she is playing the "inactive" card. I hope I've got that right anyway.

  Her status? Superhero!

  Somewhere along side other Hero's like Candace Conti and Barbara Anderson and Lee elder - just above other heroes like (collectively) the Royal Commission and Paul Grundy.

  hey all,.

  have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.

  isn't this too much of a coincidence?

  And in the newsroom section of jwdotorg. In the legal and human rights and legal developments section; guess what is missing? In among the Russia stuff and the yapping about South Korea and this and that - you got it.

  NOTHING ABOUT THE ROYAL COMMISSION IN AUSTRALIA

  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.

  Why not show them kevin bowditch's testimony or the branch coordinator's. At least that will ensure they continue to understand and talk to their df'd kids!

  by LexIsFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am wondering if there are any pro-jw blogs/sites that any of you visit and whether or not jws are aware of what is going on in australia.

  also, what is there reaction to it?

  (i may already know the answer to that last question.

  @Vidqun

  Well they don't get much higher up than a branch coordinator, a branch head of legal and the one that testifies tomorrow...
