So sorry for this happening to you.
Those worldly people are dreadful, aren't they? π
and the outcome....we had a blast!
guess what?
no sex on the table with the other mate (swapping), no cocaine snorting or weed smoking.

at the beeting now having my mental faculties raped.
in the song before the watchtower it says "...royal commision..." in one verse lmao.
i had to contain my jerk ing my head up and looking around.
one of the contributing factors to me leaving was the realisation we were being led by idiots.
bethel life reinforced that, middle aged ego's trying to suck up to brooklyn.
ray franz book was a final nail for me, because he described the same incompetence along with the same ego's.
The RC is making evident just how inexperienced and ..... this will sound mean, but.... uneducated, these leaders and 'teachers' are.
I wouldn't call this mean. I'd call it accurate.
Good post.
pray for brother jackson of the governing body!.
in todays news from australia it appears that, despite his previous declination to appear when invited, justice mcclellan from the australian royal commission on child sex abuse will officially summon brother geoffrey jackson to the stand after all.. ..... the commission was due to conclude its hearings into the jehovahs witnesses on wednesday but justice mcclellan said he will now call geoffrey jackson, a senior member of the churchs governing body in new york who is currently in australia, to appear next week.. .
source.
I agree with FREEMINDFADE . . . out of the 7, Jackson is least offensive.. . . actually he seems quite likeable/normal.
This will be interesting.
i popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.
it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.
here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.
FREEMINDFADE - Lol, I've been guilty of that on several occasions as well.
Edit to add: just showing this thread to my wife and did the same thing to your post! Damn!

Make them earn their time.
in the posts about the australian royal commission there have been several references to discussions on jw-archive.
i'd not heard of that site, so checked it out.
it seems to be used by many active jws - its tumblr style archive is full of pictures of jws doing their thing.
walking towards my seat after lunch, i made eye-contact with a j.w.
male walking towards me.
as we were passing, he smiled and said 'hello', so i replied with, 'hello'.. well, if a member of the g.b.
Hey, you didn't do bad SEARCHER. . .
Sanderson is really an OK guy (other than being one of the seven leaders of an 8 million member, worldwide cult.)
You did better than my wife: she ended up sitting in the same row as AMIII at the regional convention.
caught this in a news feed and absolutely had to read it, first of all i don't know where to start with how awesome this is.
ok lets start with the name.
heeb... thats the news source... i wont say any more on that.... the saddest part of this is what i read of this wacky sci-fi religion, as bat shit crazy as it is, it still makes more sense than jehovahs witnesses.. without further waiting.... http://heebmagazine.com/its-official-ufo-worshiping-raelians-are-no-longer-zionists/55304.
Actually, there is already a Raelian base on the moon built by extraterrestrials, and cleverly concealed by NASA and their so-called "moon missions" of the late 60s and early 70s.
Evidently, the Raelians are going to gather the evil Rothschild family to a small pacific island to be beamed to the moon base by the aliens. Then, with the help of alien science, the Rothschilds will populate the moon in a sort of "Genesis-like" project where the moon will be transformed into a verdant planet teeming with life, and inhabited by a bunch of folks with the same last name.
Their ultimate goal is becoming the solar system's largest producer of nutmeg.
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! ππππ»π³πΏπ»
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.
