  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  The WT lawyer definitely made a big hole for himself and the WT by saying that the procedures in the elder's handbook are not always followed because there's other updates and guidance provided. Now he's been asked to provide the written guidelines that add to the Shepherd the Flock book.

  That probably means all the side notes to the book, which don't appear in letters or articles. That would be interesting.

  The WT lawyer just mumbles and it's so hard to follow him. But the Doctor doesn't seem to have problems understanding his questioning unlike how she was constantly asking for rephrasing and clarifications from Mr. Stewart.

  And who keeps coughing so hard that it comes through the mics and you can't even here what's being discussed. Can't the person excuse themselves and get a drink of water or something, man, that is so annoying!

  raise flashing lights about the socio-cultural environment of Jehovah's Witnesses."
  "It creates the perfect storm for child abuse."

  Dr. Applewhite asks Mr. Stewart to explain what he means by "raise flashing lights". She's spends her time reading JWdotOrg so much that she can't keep up with the English vernacular. Did she not understand "perfect storm" either?

  Well, Dr. Applewhite just asked for a short break after getting shown up. Maybe she's wondering how she ever decided to help the Watchtower with her report. Now the WT's lawyer is going to try and save what's left.

  JW Volunteer Who Died Translating Sign Language - How was he not missed for 48 hours??

  this may have been discussed before, but this article just now popped up in my online search for "jw news": .

  man at jehovah's witness facility died of natural causes.

  does it not seem really, really strange that he would not have been missed all day saturday and sunday?

  JW Volunteer Who Died Translating Sign Language
  

  Sign language, eh? Maybe nobody could "hear" him.
  

  The building in Palm Coast is quite large, it was the site of the FAA offices and a Management / Leadership training center. It's very near the ocean. They must have paid quite a pretty penny for it. No wonder Lett said a "translation" center costs millions. They bought a whole prime property complex near the ocean! I'm sure they're happy they're not paying taxes on that.

  Dr. Applewhite admitted she had a full load of other cases when she wrote to the Commission and her writing wasn't as correct as she'd like it to be.

  Two or three times Mr. Stewart has brought out she gave references that were wrong and asked her what the actual reference was. How can she be considered an "expert" if she gives wrong references repeatedly?

  And as brought out in other comments here, she's had several times where she tried avoiding answering what Mr. Stewart was plainly asking her, constantly requesting he rephrase the question, then she answers with a question to him "how do you see it"?
  

  As of this lunch break she's definitely assured the commission that her report is rubbish and her "expert" conclusions are wrong.

  The Bold face LIE

  by dugout in

  2. friends

  hey yall, this may have been touched on before, but i here a lot about the lies wt has told on this website.

  so what are some of the bold outright lies the borg has told, past and present and can you prove it.

  for example, at this district assembly they released a video that showed (the trailer) if you married an unbeliever your marriage is not going to work.

  I just went to the funeral, not too long ago, of a man 89 years old, married for longer than I've been alive, he never got baptized nor did he ever study with JW's. He was a navy veteran who liked to talk of his war days, and he had quite a few stories to tell, and the knack to keep you on the verge of your seat listening to him.

  His wife was a baptized 20 year old who married him when marrying an unbeliever wasn't such a sin by JW standards. She's now elderly, her elder son still lives at his parent's home with his wife because he's too busy to hold down a real job. So his wife reg pioneers and he only works part-time.

  The father was one of the nicest most tolerant men I've ever met. He was for equal rights even in the 50's, giving african-americans good paying jobs in the factory where he rose up through the ladder to become a manager. When he had his funeral/memorial, (the talk given by a local elder who never even visited the guy's house), the crowd was standing room only and they were spilling over outside the KH.

  To me this man represents the kind of non-believing, yet wonderful human being who stood for what he believed to be moral and good, and who devoted his life to provide for his family and help out those who needed help. I'm glad to have known him for the better part of three decades, and in that time not one JW, not one elder, pioneer or overseer I've ever met could half measure up to him.

  Being appointed by the WT, being baptized to the devotion of the JW Organization's, means diddly squat. Anthony Morris the Turd would really have learned what a "real man" is from this un-believing mate!

  bart ehrman's blog reveals some very interesting facts about the recent discovery of a manuscript of the koran.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oksxmo9moqk.

  "in case anyone is missing the significance of that, here is a comparison.

  the first time we have any two-page manuscript fragment of the new testament is from around the year 200 ce.

  @John Aquila.

  Who in their right mind would pick a fight with Shaq? Definitely not me, even if I had a slingshot. He's usually quite smiley, but if he ever gave a look of being upset I'd be running the other way reeeaaaaalllll quick.

  ==================================

  
  

  @Terry

  Mohammed (the pedophile) was illiterate. Other people wrote the stuff after he died. Originally there were different versions. But Mohammedans being who they are, will chop off one's head for saying different. Heck! Even printing the Qur'an was illegal until the eighteenth century. If you smuggled a printed copy of the Qur'an into the Ottoman Empire your head would roll.

  Do I really give a hoot what they found in Birmingham and how old it is. Yes, for historical reasons, it shows how fanatical the early followers were that they'd chop someone up for not towing the party line, and they are still at it over a millennium and a half, blowing each other up in mosques, because some are Sunni and some are Shi'a.

  I've no respect for Sharia law, the hadith, nor any Surah.

  Recite! Yeah, WTH the guy was an illiterate who liked having sex with a preteen! What a prophet, my foot!

  Cecil the Lion deserved what he got...That's right. I said it.

  lions are notorious murderers of beautiful zebras, antelope and other graceful exotic animals.

  cecil probably contributed to the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of animals.

  what happened to him was justice.. you reap what you sow.
