has anyone here re-watched that last day?
the part where justice mcclellan is asking mr jackson if he feels that this royal commission is a sincere effort to make some good changes in policy...?.
and does mr jackson feel it would be worth it to put a collective effort, along with other organizations to compensate or find means of redress, for the victims of child sexual abuse?.
Great summary. BLATANT LIES by Jackson.
To go with another thread on here; some will hopefully be smart enough to use these lies to their benefit in judical meetings.
Watching that testimony and denying the lies only proves that loyal JW's are choosing to be loyal to something that is a cult.
go therefore and make disciples of the jw church, we have been taught and show the world that you must be part of the borg and follow the gb as the faithful and discreet slave as gods chosen mouth piece!
so with all eyes on the faithful slave his chance to tell the world of this witness he does what?
he says that would be "presumptuous of us.
LOL.....yeah, very presumptuous Geoffery....only....well, you are......you've put it in PRINT thousands of times...... you and YOU alone possess the keys to communication with the Almighty!!!!
"However, we cannot hope to acquire a good relationship with Jehovah if we ignore those whom Jesus has appointed to care for his belongings. Without the assistance of “the faithful and discreet slave,” we would neither understand the full import of what we read in God’s Word nor know how to apply it."Examining the Scriptures Daily 2012 Mar 4
"All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave" Watchtower 1994 Oct 1 p.8
do you think any jws watched the hearing to lend soupport to their gb member.
brother jackson?
In the USA?
Almost none
Ask one that you see about the "Royal Commission trial"..........they won't have a clue.
tues august 4, 2015.
royal commission questioning of:.
rodney spinks .
I've been watching his testimony thanks to the great people on this site.
Rodney Spinks is lying....... a lot.
On several occasions he attempts to talk in circles, only to have the judge and/or lawyer tell him he didn't answer the question. Elders/Branch Overseers have no clue how to deal with people that don't get confused or intimidated by them. Its SO fun to watch!!!
It is truly something to watch when Spinks starts talking........... and wow is he lying a lot.
sorry as this topic may have been covered many times but any thoughts or links to other topics on how the pro-jw websites are commenting on this.. rub a dub.
The vast majority of JWs have no clue this even going on.
Go ahead, ask one.
They will look at you with a blank stare.
hi guys.
i actually have had dealings with rod and found him to be a very reasonable and "non-robotic" man in the past.. i know it should not surprise me, but i was disappointed to hear his lies and half-truths.. they know their stuff and are not easily led, but he tried to lead the royal commission to believe that 2 people could be involved in investigating a claim - which is wrong.. his lack of memory on what parts of the judicial process are biblical - hello - none are.
there are no scriptures that backup the use of 3 men, a body of elders, cutting people off from family and friends, restrictions, etc.. he also lied about the gb being involved in policy creation and changes.. his statement that in all cases, elders are told to inform parents that they can go to the authorities and get the full support of the congregation is not verifiable.
For all those that have seen the arrogant attitudes of elders their entire life.....How FUN is it to watch this guy squirm?????
He keeps trying to speak in circles and it doesn't work......thinking, educated people just look at him and tell him 'no'......
Cult. For lurking JW's..... please plug your brain back in. Listen to this guy talking in circles and how the Judge and attorney just unravel him.
mr vincent toole, he gets 3 meals a day his accommodation, daily exercise & a degree to be a lawyer.
they are asking for kids ice-cream money so they can send their monkeys to uni to get them off child abuse cases, while telling the ones giving the money not to get a higher education.
holy shit i never thought about that before.
Cult.
Mind bending..... cult.
first off, i don't think that dude is going to show face.
he's most likely on a plane already.
if he shows it's bad pr and if he doesn't show it's bad pr.
He isn't going to appear.
He is a pussy.
Odd isn't it? Someone that claims to be "God's representative on earth" is passing up an opportunity to clear the reproach on Jehovah's name...
...not very Christlike of him, is it?
damn those tricky state laws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmeg1omfumk 15:30 on.
annoying no?.
.
Aside from the tragic pain of the victims, the most disgusting thing about this case is that ZERO JW's in the U.S. know anything about this entire situation.
Ask one.......... they have no idea what you're talking about.
Once you leave this cult, you realize that they are the very definition of Orwellian.
tradition within christianity has long been that any time the phrases holy spirit, holy ghost, or spirit of godare used in the bible (especially in the new testament), it always refers to the mysterious third divine person of the trinity, who is fully god, co-equal to the father and son, yet somehow distinct.. i want to present a simplified alternative view: let the context determine the meaning!.
(one thing to keep in mind is that the meaning of the bible words used for spirit basically is unseen force or invisible presence.).
the holy spirit as the mind and personality of god.
This is a funny thread!
This triggered a memory in me: When I was an elder, the PO (no longer a position, right?) confided in me that he didn't understand Holy Spirit or know what it was.....he felt guilty about it.
Of course, he was 'appointed by holy spirit'.................god its all so funny now.
