i have always said that if a god showed itself i would follow the evidence and renounce my atheism.
i have now seen enough to start believing again, i am so happy, i feel a inner contentment, when he connected with me i really knew it was him.
if you are not a believer you will not understand this, but trust me, look at the evidence, open your heart to him, let him in and your life will change for the better.
The Royal Commission proceedings over the past two weeks have very nearly convinced me there is a god! 😇😜👌🏻🇳🇿💻
PUNK - as a True Believer in the FSM, I have reason to believe those toast pictures are a fraud. The FSM does not appear in toast, but does appear in garlic bread.

i pressed all the wrong buttons.
here it is, posted about an hour ago..
Angus Stewart confirmed with Vincent Toole, who wanted to argue the figures, that thet had provided no evidence that any were reported to authorities by the organization. Toole conceded although he again argued that there was no evidence that some did in fact report to authorities.
Wait, so Toole's argument amounts to: "There is no evidence of JWs notifying the police in our record, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen."
Amazing.
it seems they do have a database!
!you can view it here on the royal commission website:.

Question:
Is this the actual list produced by watchtower? ie, do we know this is not an interpretation or summary of evidence provided by watchtower, but their very own original document?
If so, Toole out-and-out lied on the witness stand.
This is incredible.
wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.
i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.
so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.
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.
