  How to spot: a single JW sister

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember this time of year when jw's desend en mass on one area.

  a fun game to play is "spot the..." whatever jw walking stereotype you choose.. so i thought i would play it with you guys, starting with how to spot a single jw sister.. i say, she will be dressed up to the nines, probably over dressed in fact, have hair immaculately coffied, make up plastered on, towering heels and be smiling at every brother in site.

  all they need is a sign saying "pioneer, virgin, available for marriage!".

  This article indicates the org will consider policy changes

  i think they were just telling the arc what they wanted to hear.. what do you think?.

  couple of interesting quotes:.

  "mr o'brien, co-ordinator of the church's australian branch committee, told the commission the organisation was "open to change".. in evidence, he said the committee would consider the greater involvement of women in child sex abuse cases, clearer guidance for elders hearing allegations and better communication with victims and their families about their legal options.. mr o'brien told the commission the church did not have a redress scheme for sex abuse victims but would consider establishing one.. vincent toole, head of the church's watchtower bible and tract society, told the commission he would seek independent legal advice about the church's obligations to report child sex abuse to the authorities.. justice mcclellan asked mr toole if he understood there was a general obligation for every citizen to report crimes to the authorities.. "coming to this commission has been a wake-up call for me, i can assure you," mr toole said.. www.smh.com.au/nsw/royal-commission-jehovahs-witnesses-to-review-approach-to-sex-abuse-allegations-20150805-gis2fh.html.

  that whole statment amounted to a carefully crafted 'say what you want to hear but mean what we want it to' bit of trickery.

  here is a very good quote you can use against the society from a watchtower publication that everyone knows: .

  you can live forever in paradise on earth book, pages 187-188: .

  "if church members who gamble, get drunk or do other wrongs are permitted to remain in good standing within their church, what does this show?

  Well those claims don't really correlate with what we know the Branch Office manual states. It's easy for an individual to stand up in court or before the press and be dismissive of the policies when there's no hard evidence to the contrary. However with the documentation procured it makes it a little more difficult to be convincing.

  Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels

  2. experiences

  a friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.

  yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.

  she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

  Why don't they pull the fire alarm at the assembly??? That would be one way to pass the time, lol

  
  Dammit! Why didn't I think of that as a kid?

  Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

  a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

  break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

  the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

  If he committed any offence in respect the RC, whatever the penalty imposed if any, what would that say about the prior witnesses testimony that the JWs would obey secular law and cooperate with the RC in respect child abuse?

  Sure. But they have to weigh the consequences nevertheless. Face penalties and pass it off as persecution and retain loyalty or face questions, ruin the Disneyland dream and lose a massive portion of followers ...

  (2) The penalty for an offence under subsection (1) is a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 6 months

  Hmm perhaps that's were ol' Jackson will disappear through a squirm hole: $1000 fine, provided that's what the JW office bets on and that's what tje ARC decides to enforce. Otherwise ol'Jackson could get a view between bars up to six months.
