Justice McClellan was annoyed by not being made aware of the authority of Jackson as a GB top dog. Material needed if any one here could ..

by umbertoecho in

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.

Which is the height of irony that it should be that way with an Org. that calls itself "the truth".

Question for those still attending...is anyone talking?

by ToesUp in

jw
friends

we haven't been to a meeting or jw event in several years.

we have been following the rc closely.

it is fascinating!

How are Pro-JW sites handling the RC situation ???

by RubaDub in

sorry as this topic may have been covered many times but any thoughts or links to other topics on how the pro-jw websites are commenting on this.. rub a dub.

Very amusing that on the one pro site I check they were sadly admitting the elders did a really bad job. They thought the same of the expert speaking on the Orgs behalf and then the thread just dried up! Not a post until the last 2 days when they started crowing about how great the branch overseer is doing in testimony.

NOW they are talking again. I just thought that was strange that they clammed up when it got bad and then got unstuck when they felt less ashamed of how they were being made to look as a group.

The thread has a lot of emotional folks who have tales to tell of their own abuse so people are trying to be respectful of that and there seems to be an attempt at honest discussion, Some have even mentioned the lies and deception on the part of JW testimony.

Many thanks to Simon. This RC Commission is the 'magnum opus'

by Esse quam videri in

this is when all the pieces of the puzzle come together.

many thanks to simon for creating a forum which allows us to get a clear sense of what is happening.

without this forum i would still be wandering in the wilderness.

So Simon, how does it feel to know that you have played a role in making so many peoples lives less painful and in fact better?

I have read your story of the Org and what lead you to the creation of this site and while I hate that you had to experience negative things at the hands of JWs, I am impressed with what you did with the experience. You truly have turned lemons in to lemonade as the old saw goes.

Thank you for all of it. So many of us are now reaping the good results of your hard work.

Has anyone seen any News Media in the U.S cover the Royal Commission story at all?

by wwjdnwt in

i haven't seen anything about this in the news here in the u.s. do the jehovah's witnesses here know what is going on over there?

Maybe!

I am treading very carefully with my friend. She is mostly mentally out strictly over this one issue.

She does a lot of counseling of sisters (non professional) based on her own story of survival and standing up to the Watchtower to get resolution.

This could be the spark to the tinderbox so to speak, so I want to be careful. I would love her to join me where I am at mentally with this religion but that is a bit selfish. The way I resolve it is by gently introducing things and then waiting to see what she wants to do with it.

Wisconsin Public Radio - Interesting story

by punkofnice in

on the next reveal, an investigation into the culture of secrecy within the jehovahs witnesses leads us to the story of one woman who was ostracized after she accused an elder of abusing her.. .

Thank you Punk!

I am growing very fond of Reveal. They live up to their name.

Im afraid Doc is right. Even my one Witness friend who is somewhat of a child abuse activist within the congregation hasnt heard a word.

I think it highlights the value of sites like this. If not for being a member here, I would have missed all of it.

Hi Allison123!

My suggested question:

Do you think that policy will change now that the need for change has become clear?

They know the RC is going to be an issue: August Broadcast talk with Tony

by leavingonthenextplane in

they are told that persecution is coming and that all will see it.. they are told that there will be lies in the media about us.. they even give the old brother king interview about brothers being jailed.

the last sentence tony the tiger damn near screams at the camera to stay faithful you integrity keepers... he knows your fathers and husbands may be going to jail.

this talk is all about damage control.. .

Thank you Leavingonthenextplane!
