Royal Commission Prophecy...

by freemindfade in

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.

Ever wondered

by NoIdeaWhatToBelieve in

i was very hooked on the rc videos, really interesting to watch.

i started questioning stuff a couple of months ago.. however there is still a scenario that makes me wonder.

considering the israelites as god's chosen people and the kings as anointed, the bible shows many bad decisions the people made, including the rulers that were anointed.

Hi Noidea, and welcome!

Many of us here are trying to unlearn and relearn and just plain learn in general.

For the most part,people here are extremely kind and helpful. Dont feel you have to rush or get anywhere quickly. Its ok to stand there and let the sand run through your fingers and simply be empty for a bit. Keep reading and asking questions and educate yourself and you will not regret it.

Really glad you are here.

G.B. & J.W.'s Becoming Clap-Happy

by The Searcher in

at the regional convention (national!!

) for scotland, mark sanderson elicited 13 rounds of applause during his closing talk, (for the least little things!

) plus a final one for his closing prayer!

millie210

We always applauded more and more the closer we got to the end of the final talk on the final day.

Looking back it was an in vain attempt to build to some kind of crescendo.

Nothing else was going to be a high point - might as well be the clapping!

Thankful for jehovahs-witness.com

by jw07 in

i'm still 'in' and this website is the only thing that's been keeping me sane for a long while.. knowing that i'm not alone, the success stories, and the constant update of breaking news that provides hope such as the exposure of the organisation at the hands of the royal commission makes me happy while i'm stuck in this dark hole.

that's so especially today when i'm dealing with a sht storm of personal issues and the pretending that everything is fine is just rubbing pepper into my wounds.

i'm thankful for this website and all you beautiful people.

jw07,

hang in there dear person. I was where you are at one point and life can and it does get better.

This site has played a huge role in my recovery through the wealth of knowledge and real life experience contained herein.

Rodney Spinks eye popping comments on effect of 'pioneer and missionary work'

by Esse quam videri in

tues august 4, 2015.

royal commission questioning of:.

rodney spinks .

millie210

Perhaps he knew where the line of questioning was leading....

one woldnt want to agree that pioneers bring in lots of people and spend tons of hours working with them if the RC is about to bust out figures as to how many pioneers were pedophiles...

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

by umbertoecho in

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.. .

Working theory here...

ALL websites pro and con are being monitored as to what the flock seems to be leaning toward in their thinking. Careful attention is being paid to feedback from middle men (C.O.s)

If it seems the flock feels the concerns are warranted, then the BEST thing Jackson could do is appear and agree and outline how the Org is gearing up to lead the world in pedophile protection and sensitivity.

That would give the flock a "reply to him who is taunting me".

It would be the surest way to shake loose from the jaws of the RC - agree with them and show you are working on their suggestions.

Then it wouldnt be long before the JWs were arrogantly tsk tsking other big more unwieldy institutions-who have been more resistant to responding in the positive.

Requested to have all the shepherding concerns in writing.

by quincemyles in

i have not turned in a single field service report this year.

i decided not to, after noticing the simple flaw in the calculation of 1914. the implications are huge, i.e the appointment of the fds is a fraud.

i some days ago informed them of the private watchtower documents that are in my possession courtesy of the royal commission.

millie210

Respectfully requiring they follow your terms instead of their habitual comfort zone way of doing things. I really like the scriptural references you used too.

Great job quincemyles.

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.

millie210

Oh yes......there still are a few sites floating around. I belong to one. My original goal when I could no longer get rational thoughts from the brains of my local elders over my personal situation was to write the Org. They seemed to waffle back and forth and come up with lame solutions such as me just "staying busy in the work" ( (I was already pioneering with 13 bible studies - most of them attending meetings and 3 already unbaptized pubs. so exactly how I was to be "more" busy was never clearly stated) and another big favorite line "just move on, the past is the past".

So baffled, I joined a PRO JW site and I joined here. My goal was to get the ying and yang of thoughts.

Within less than a week it was clear to me that anything I was going to learn about spirituality, accuracy and how to really cope was going to come from THIS site and not the other. They are too busy trying to "out spiritual" one another to think about true and accurate knowlege in any form.

I still remain a member and occasionally read there, it reminds me of being at the dinner table with my extended family. lol. Sad but true.

How soon would a new Elders' Book leak?

by Lemonp in

as the shepherd the flock book is now in the public domain, if the .org decides to create a new manual, how soon will it be leaked?.

this is mostly a question for wifibandit, but anyone else who may know is welcome to answer.

would it be a matter of days before we get a .pdf?

millie210

I dont know but I have become a Wifi bandit groupie the same way that some around here have become an Angus Stewart fan!

My spiritual food is given to me so much quicker here than it was in the congregation.

Long live Wifi and all who collaborate with him!
