Anna Maria what an excellent report! They managed to get all the facts n to the piece in a reasonable, fair minded way. Ensuring the public understood it’s not an attack on the congregations, but the world leaders of the borg.

Maria, I have difficulty hiring people to work in my business. No special skills or education. No past experience. $20/hour. I give my biz card to "the homeless" who panhandle on the street corner. None ever show up for a job. I think they're making more (tax free) cash than I am in their panhandling.
The only "modern day slavery" IMO is the middle class worker who "slaves away" every damn day to earn a good livelihood for their family but who then loses (over) 50% of their earnings to taxes, (too) much of what goes to support those deadbeats who do not WANT a job. Wealth re-distribution.
😂🤣🤣The reason you’re homeless people don’t turn up is because they have too xterm mental health issues to maintain regular employment, or they have extreme addiction problems, which again, makes regular employment an impossible dream.
Yes, I said it, a DREAM. A home. A family. A career. Coming home tired but happy every evening to wonderful PETS you can keep because you own a home. To children, a husband who loves you and doesn’t hurt you or throw you out every 5 mins. The satisfaction you are taking care of your family....a holiday to look forward....FRIENDS yes colleagues at work to talk to. Walking up each day without a feeling of dread, misery or psychotic episodes, even.
This is not a tough life or slavery!!!! How laughable! I don’t know about over taxation where you are, I agree they waste our taxes. But don’t for one moment think the disenfranchised, the lonely, the unemployed poor and lost to society ENJOY or are better off than the warm comfort of a middle class or working class but normal life. Everyone has their struggles....illness, bereavement etc of course. A Young couple I know who have it all just endured a still birth. But those people you speak of endure that pain too, but without support.
THe opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It’s CONNECTION.
NB I can’t imagine homeless or jobless people turning down £20 an hour where I live!! Not those without mental health issues, that is.

Anointed Grandmother wakes up
by Terry inanointed great grandmother who woke upi arrived at the coffee shop on my bicycle and took up a seat at the outdoor table in the fresh air.
(this was way before the pandemic).. a lady with permed white hair walked over to my table and spoke directly to me.. i was wearing earbuds at that moment and didn’t hear.
i popped them out and asked her to repeat herself.. “that’s a beautiful bicycle you have there.

posited the idea on another Thread that the In House Lawyers advising the Org. are probably not very good, that probably they have grown up in the org, and not really had much experience in fighting Cases for clients in the real World. Anybody know the background of one or more of these shadowy folk ?
YES! YES! and YES! Their lawyers are an absolute shower.
Always thought their bumbling behaviour smacks of brainwashing, yes, but more than that pure arrogance in thinking you are right and protected by God.
I also think it's often a case of The Emperor's New Clothes and that those nearest to the seat of power (GB) don't EVER challenge them and suck up to them . To the point they do their bidding fully knowing it's risky.
I do know the Aussie lawyer at the ARC, Vincent O'Toole,was put through law school by the org.

found a wealth of information here from many an erudite Poster, Allen F, Leolaia, a guy called Nicos ? who had worked on the French translation of the NWT,
Oh I forgot to say it really grinds my gears when I read that idiotic, egotistical banner atop Exjwreddit "The internet's biggest resource for all things watchtower/JW" etc.
What cobblers! This site is an absolute bloody MINE of information!! With JWfacts.com there's simply no better than this site!

I found the site with a simple search. Looking for old friends initially....I found the people really funny so the laughs drew me in at first.
Boy am I embarrassed when I look back at some of my posts, though. Talk about brainwashed. I knew it wasn't the truth but still believed a lot of the hype.
Then the CARC became a huge talking point and I watched proceedings live.
That blew me away and I could finally bring myself to use the C word - cult!!!

BBC Sunday Morning on Jehovah's Witnesses
by Newly Enlightened inin august the jehovah’s witnesses will give evidence to the independent inquiry into child sex abuse.
submissions will also be heard from survivors who have criticised the church’s handling of abuse allegations.

Surely only Sissies would be aware of that word?(I meant Aussies😂😂😂do you know autocorrect turns "Aussies" into "Sissies"....maybe another word that will be banned?)
