  "And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

  by Terry in

  i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

  i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

  so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

  This too Shall Pass (RC Commission vs WTS)

  by undercover in

  while i'm glad that the practices of the wts are under review and the australian commission is taking them to task, i'm not really expecting huge changes in the long run.

  oh, they may have to agree to some changes in how they report crimes brought to elders' attention, but this excitement over the supposed expose of wt practices shall pass, and jws will soon be canvassing neighborhoods and rolling their carts, looking for converts.

  conventions will go on.

  From what scientists understand, about 4.5 billion years ago a celestial body the size of Mars smashed into Earth, creating the moon.

  And if there were conscious inhabitants of earth back then, I'm sure they would have thought, "This too shall pass."

  And indeed it did.

  But every night, people look up at the moon in wonderment.

  Branch Manual 2015

  apparently the backroom arguments have been heard and decided.

  the royal commission finally uploaded a redacted version of the 2015 branch manual.

  watchtower lawyers were looking to have as much redacted from this manual as possible.

  I think this is going to happen.

  The fact that it's scheduled for Friday makes me think the legal dept will spend the week coaching him.

  Royal Commission... Monty Baker?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i see a former elder by the name of monty baker on the royal commission's witness list.

  transcripts show a lawyer representing monty baker during the hearings, but so far i see no transcript where monty baker has testified before the commission.

  am i missing something?

  Bumbling idiots..... RC & JW broadcast

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  Geoffrey Jackson. Seems he will be compelled to front up.

  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.. .

  I agree with FREEMINDFADE . . . out of the 7, Jackson is least offensive.. . . actually he seems quite likeable/normal.

  This will be interesting.
