a jehovah's witness official says the church's stance to never let women hold decision-making roles compares to muslim and aboriginal people adhering to their own ancient beliefs.
It would be great if the society's response to this matter was to no longer permit women's participation in congregation meeting since the bible commands "women to be silent." 😉
That was a great point made by McClellan, highlighting the society's inconsistent application of scripture.
I had wondered about that myself while "still in" but would not have questioned it openly in a million years for fear of reprisal.
if you have not seen today's testimony from the head of the australia branch, here is a link showing the reaction of the commission when he is caught lying about what geoffrey jackson does:.
caught.
as we know, the things claimed by the previous witnesses are not true regarding the amount of control the gb has.

Damn!

Wow. Wow. Wow.
someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?
i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.
whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].

It's been less than 10 minutes of O'Brien testifying, and so far he's told the truth!

I am eagerly awaiting the RCs questions regarding this document.
I think it's the most damning one of all.
unfortunately, part 1 will not be available until later, but i thought i give you the other parts anyway .
day six of the proceedings:.
part 2 has been uploaded and part 3,4 and (5?
I am shocked that so far, the commission hasn't questioned anyone over that 2013 letter from the U.S. Branch to all branch service departments outlining the conditions under which a child abuser may be appointed an elder.
Personally I found this to be the most damning of all evidence they gathered.
I'm wondering if the commission isn't "building" towards it. I can't imagine how they will even try to dodge it. . . . .
Find it in wifi bandits above link under "Guidelines for Branch"
firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.
no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.
it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.
Excellent UMBERTO!
As another poster on this board remarked, sunlight is an excellent disinfectant.
