Welcome ANON2!
The couple of quotes are gems!
hello again.. splash had a pile of scriptural evidence which he uploaded and it was good material.
it established the gb as the fds and used watchtower study articles.........i don't know if he was the only one but the material flew in the face of what those men have been saying.
it proves, using their own material how they indeed think they are the ones with the direct control over millions of lives, because as you know.........they are the direct hot line to god.
Welcome ANON2!
The couple of quotes are gems!
i've been catching up on the videos and news articles.
the elders, lawyers, branch members, hired reports are all getting slammed!
that dude has a response and point to bring up on everything!
Yep!
It is must-see TV.
shout out to jwfacts.. just saw the drum.
excellent job !

Yes -- yet another rabid, raving lunatic apostate spewing diseased, demonic vitriol via Satan's faith-shattering media empire. 😉
my understanding (very limited and maybe flawed) is that this commission has no teeth.
if thats true why would the org care?
send a few lawyers, go through the motions but in the end.... its a dog parking on a porch.
Not an expert on the RC either but. . . .
I get the impression that they (the RC) may be in uncharted waters here.
Perhaps their appearance of "toothlessness" is due to the fact that they make recommendations and then whatever organization makes an effort to comply.
I get the feeling that they haven't dealt with a group like the witnesses ever before -- a group that will not comply with recommendations, but must be dragged kicking and screaming into reality.
So to write them off as "toothless" is probably not fair. . . .perhaps they appear that way because they've never had to show their "teeth" before!

As thrilled as I am with the RC, I'm a little disappointed this document was never highlighted. . . .
I would have loved for any of those bethel heavies to have read this crap and try to explain it with a straight face.

After all G. Jackson appearing would not violate Jehovah's law! Does not the bible say that you will be summoned before governors and kings and that the Holy Spirit will provide you what to say?
And Toole hung the whole reputation of JWs on that very fact.
The RC already smells a rat.
If Jackson doesn't show, it's a smelly diseased rat with festering sores.
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.
However, if I had to put money on a Ray Franz II it would be Jackson. If he takes the stand maybe the rest of the GB will throw him under the bus?
I've thought the exact same thing, MM.
if you have heard g. jackson speak you can tell that he is smooth.
he is a good speaker with a commanding voice.
i think the gb knew this was going to happen and prepped him to testify.
Lol! I have always hated reality shows but I gotta say, this one rocks! Best ever.
I've suspended my Netflix subscription. 😜
during yesterday's rc proceedings (wednesday 5th august 2015), one of the victim's lawyers questioned mr vincent toole, the jw organization's legal counsel for the australian branch office.
she asked him why at least two of the jw elders who gave evidence last week refused to swear on the bible.
mr toole appear puzzled by her question and said he did not know.
What struck me about this exchange was how Toole went on to lament the tremendous 'stress' and 'pressure' these poor men endured being brought into a judicial setting. . . . . and thus their strange behavior.
Let those words sink in. . . . . . .
Yes, "our poor baby elder boys are crumbling under judicial proceedings,". . . .
But as for the victims who are put the wringer in a JC. . . .
To me, it was an implicit "Fuck 'em!" from Toole.
delaware attorney general: sussex co. jehovah's witnesses congregation didn't report child abuse.
by associated press 1:47pm, august 5, 2015. the delaware attorney general's office is suing a jehovah's witnesses congregation in sussex county, claiming that elders failed to report an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.. oral arguments in the civil action are set for november.. authorities say elders learned in january 2013 that katheryn harris carmean white was having sex with the boy and failed to immediately call a child abuse hotline.. the congregation's attorney argues that the elders are protected by clergy privilege from the reporting requirements, similar to the confidentiality of a church confessional.. carmean white, who worked as a teacher's aide at seaford middle school, was later convicted of rape and child endangerment and sentenced to six years in prison..
Jesus!
This persecution from Satan is coming fast and furious! 😜😈👹👻👍👍🎉
