  The WT's response seems to be focused on addressing as little as they can and obfuscate the rest.

  That no GoBo member showed up to defend their policies or show how they could improve clearly presents a hierarchy that is willing to sacrifice the underlings and throw them under the bus.

  I soooo wish that other countries will follow the lead of the Australians and look into this matter. Only when it becomes a problem for the WT in country after country will they really make any effort to change their failed policies.

  The reality of "shunning" and character assasination highlighted at the Australian Royal Commission

  by stuckinarut2 in

  once again, the arc has brilliantly highlighted the reality that any witness who either fades or disassociates is subjected to active official shunning by the organization.. the "brothers" tried to state that it was the choice of the indiviual who steps away from the organization to shun them!

  they actually tried to make it out to be the fault of the one who leaves!

  then they tried to say that those who fade are not shunned!.

  And what is sooooo sad about these two GoBo ass-kissers is that they believe their own lies so readily and defend them with such a straight face, well, not so straight--in Spinks case a sweat pouring hot pink round face, and in O'Brien's a deathly pale sucked dry of life and emotion face.

  what is the exact live streaming site for the arc today in sydney?

  i hope someone or more here will be watching and giving info/quips throughout the case.

  also, will someone here or elsewhere be able to 'save' a video of this (all or part).

  I'm watching the Uniting Church Case Study 55 session now which follows the JW's Case Study 54 and what a difference. These folks, two women and a man representing, are being asked by Angus and they've taken all the counsel from the ARC to revise their Organizational Framework.

  Their interaction with Angus is quite conversational, and you don't see the tension there was with Spinks and O'Brien answering Angus' questions.

  These folks sound quite educated and informed, they sound sincere. Wow! What a contrast with Spinks and O'Brien!

  Looking back at how Angus questioned the two WT lackeys, you can see that Angus must have been very disgusted with their half-truths and obfuscations, very telling indeed!

  And what's worse, the two lying eunuchs of the GoBo said that when a person "disassociates" they've chosen to "shun" those remaining inside the 0rg. As if "disassociating" meant "wishing not to associate" with others.

  What a face-palm moment!

  in reading these posts, it sounds like a lot of you are very jealous of the wt.

  society’s annual income and the money they/we have in the bank.

  jehovah has indeed blessed us.

  Nah. I have found truth, and it confirms the JW 0rganization is full of deceit. Maybe one day you will wake up to The Truth About The Truth.

  New Watchtower - Can You Look Beyond Outward Appearances?

  how ironic that they have asked jws to not look past - tight pants - so called "affectations" - beards - long hair - short hair - and like 1000 other meaningless and trivial things.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-june-2017/can-you-look-beyond-outward-appearances/.

  Some appearances, like the fact that the GoBo are just a bunch of filthy lucre loving hypocrites are too hard to "look beyond". The sight of these lying and self-serving cult leaders' smug faces makes me sick. They're ugly under the skin, they're ugly to the core of their lying core!

  Taking out children to the back of the hall and "disciplining" physically is still going on and nobody at the hall will say a peep about the screams and cries coming from the back-room.

  Geoff Jackson lied, and he knows he's perjured his sworn oath on top of "his" sad gray Bible translation. The man is a shameless liar on this and many other topics he was asked about at the ARC.

  "Put time in report card" is something I can understand perfectly but "report card" is used for public school grades.

  I might say something like "We need to turn our time in" or "It's time to turn in our time slips".
