born in 1955 jacko was baptized at 13 years of age in 1968.his life story, printed in the august 2015 watchtower doesn't state the year in which he married, it's fairly general when talking about it.
hmmm, i wonder why?i've come across a recording of an interview with jacko at a hall dedication in another part of the us in 2009 which provides some further information.he married his first wife, jenny, in 1974 at the grand old age of 19. no wonder they didn't want to print it in the watchtower.unfortunately his first wife, jenny, was diagnosed with cancer in 1999.in 2003 jacko was sent a letter from the gb stating he was being transferred to hq and his wife would be given appropriate work.
he initially didn't know why they were being called to hq as he felt they were being very productive in their fijian paradise, he states that they brought 75 people into the truth.
It looks like the initial link that I provided no longer works. As of Oct. 6th it seems that something happened on their website and they now only allow access by registration.

It seems strange for this to happen around the time that this thread was written about a GB member sharing some insight to their experiences.
this is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).
first of all, i've left being a jw in june.
since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.
I'm glad you were able to make it out of the cult and make some changes in your life for the better.
Its unbelievable that they are talking about suing you. It would look really bad for them when you explained that your carer was taking advantage of his position and harassing you. I doubt the courts would look favourably upon him.
i don't usually like the confrontational approach to those on the carts, however this video is a great example of how jws do not really care about child abuse issues!.
the arrogance of this brother is disturbing..... bear with the video.
it gets really interesting around the 6 min mark, where the brother loses his cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5chulnnyqs.
This is about the worst type of behaviour you could witness from a middle aged man in Australia (who isn't drunk). All that's missing is "C'mon ya wanna fight?" from the poor specimen of a man.
the watchtower study is not real bible study.
it is a study to introduce wtbts beliefs,doctrines, and practices.
just think for a moment!
I was just listening to Michael Felker who has a youtube channel and did a review of the April Watchtower QFR and had this to say about a statement written
the "Questions from Readers" article in the April 2018 Watchtower Study Edition. The most noteworthy statement in question is this: "By directing interested people to our official websites, we are connecting them with the one true source of spiritual food, 'the faithful and discreet slave.'"Apparently the Bible is not longer the one true source of spiritual food and the JWs job is to direct people to JW org, not Jesus.
for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.
i never regretted this and never will.
unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.
That's a really good reason to leave, if we don't try different tactics then we can never appreciate what works for us personally.
Thank you for all your contributions here, it's been a delight. Also thank you for having the desire to help others.
jehovah's witnesses to settle sex-abuse case - san diego reader (california, us), friday, january 12, 2018.
That's interesting that you don't need inside information Bobby. Let's look at their property ownership. Possibly now their most valuable properties. Which legal entity/entities own the Patterson, Warwick and Walkill complexes?

What inside information do you have Bobby? This is a secret society you are talking about and you don't know what they are up to or what their financial situation is.
For all we know, the Watchtower is going bankrupt as they syphone off the money into other financial structures.
i’ve been struggling to end a long-term relationship of 12 years that needs to end.
i came to the truth after i met him, and we never married.
i want to get married, but this man i’m with in not for me.
I know of someone who has a room to let but I imagine it might be a long way from you and you would need a passport and visa.
Let me guess, you live somewhere in the USA.
i was born january 15, 1947in mt.
carmel hospital, detroit, michigan.. within six months of my birth, my mother would bundle her baby boy into a blanket and board an american airlines propeller-driven plane--in effect, leaving my father behind--to return to her hometown, ft. worth, texas.. my dad had an excellent job working for cadillac as an inspector.
it was a union job.
Happy Birthday Terry. I always enjoy reading your stories. You've led a full and interesting life.
again with the pants... tony, if you can't stop looking at young men in tight pants don't take it out on the rest of us.

There's something very strange about his obsession. In this video he seems to suggest that other people think he's only saying it because he doesn't have the figure to wear a skinny suit himself. In other words, he is acknowledging that this type of suit looks good on some men. He stated, "Some say you wouldn't look good in one anyway, that's why you don't want one", Tony responds "that's alright Buddy, I would never disrespect my heavenly father". Since he uses the term 'buddy' suggests this conversation is with men.
Either he's being hypocritical or there's only one other possibility that I can see. It's only other men that he thinks, find this attractive.
