My thoughts on Geoffrey Jackson

by thedepressedsoul in

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.

At the end of Geoffrey Jackson's testimony, the judge said he was 'released from his subpoena' so he had been served with one. Strange, when he'd ealier said how happy he was to 'assist' . . .

[Day 8 - 14/8]Governing Body, Geoffrey Jackson - Royal Commissions On Child Sexual Abuse, Australia. + VIDEO

by C0ntr013r in

the big day finally arrived!

these amazing royal commission proceedings are available on youtube :).

part 1 has been uploaded and part 2 will soon be available.. part 1:.

An interesting change of direction at about 27:55, when Angus Stewart had just asked GJ if he would deny that "apostate lies" dismissal of the RC's work. . . .Jackson first spars for time, then actually says that it is a "broad question (WTF??) because "such people make many other accusations"

Then realises he's digging a deep hole and changes tack to " it doesn't matter who makes the accusation. . ."

Yes, he's quite saccy but not word perfect either!

q: is there anyone that has the permanent role of coordinator or chairman?.

geejay: no, we rotate yearly...... (translaton) we are all sparticus.. geejay: we are a faith driven org, we are not a group of lawyers, being overly concerned with legal matters..... fave quotes .

on establishing headship principle 1cor 14: 33-35, 1 cor 11:3. geejay:...... that's talking about women not excitedly jumping up arguing with others..... geejay: ......our literature has said it, and we agree!.

That would make them rather scary co-pilots, surely?

Mr Flipper, look forward to your thoughts when you reach the part where Toole states that he has never heard of Theocratic Warfare :)

So, I became very ill ... what did my loving brothers do?

by EdenOne in

recently i have fallen ill with a serious case of chickenpox (shingles).

three weeks down, high fevers, and the blisters attacked mostly my scalp and face, but then also my whole upper body.

i looked horrid, truly like a mutant monster out of a nuclear disaster.

When I was "studying" my two JW ladies showed me a pic of a young man, supposedly newly baptised, surrounded by smiling people in different national costumes, all welcoming him. They told me that if I progressed, I would never be alone again, with a loving family in every country. Nice pic, too bad about the reality!

Eden, hope your recovery continues well, and congratualtions on helping your son get into university!

royal commission so far

by zeb in

before another day goes past please, summarize the outcome in dot points of the royal commission so far.

for me in no order;.

that the wt considers sex crimes against children of little importance.

Surely, since "Theocratic Warfare" is unknown (Mr Toole) and the Bible clearly mandates obedience to secular authorities (Mr Toole and at least one elder), Mr O'Brien should face a JC over his blatant attempt to mislead the RC?
