But wait! Wifi cant leak it until the dome administrator says so! Oh wait.....that was domain administrator (I like mine better) Here we go again with more of the old secretive handshake stuff...MSs can see this but not this...elders can see all.....blah blah blah.
Seriously, dont they know the BRANCH book has been leaked all over the net and the Elders manual is old ha?
Reading the Societys letters are about the best way I know for a person to experience the emotions of hilarity and nausea simultaneously, assuming one is looking for that experience.
All I get from that letter (after the laughing and gagging) is that they must be having a problem with people not being WOWED by the C.O.s these days.

as the story of "annointed" ones goes.....when their spouse is left behind on earth, are they free to remarry?

that would kinda suck, being in heaven...watching the wifey , or hubby gettin doinked by someone new.

just sayin.....shewt...i got way too much time on my hands..

I have wondered that before too...
I guess they are too mentally elevated up there to concern themselves with that?
Although....didnt angels from "up there" get totally carried away by viewing women down here on earth?
So there is that.
Hmmm

The Australian Royal Commission will NOT do a damn thing to the WT!

the rothschild family will not allow the aussies to take any significant action against their religious wing (mormons, jws, adventists, etc.).

the worst outcome for the borg will be a relatively small fine and a deadline to change their rules.

that is all..

How big a deal is the royal commission..? It seems to be not much...

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.

Thanks Joe Grundy appreciate the clear explanation!
barry2 hours agoEven now survivors of sexual molestation that have had claims payed in the past are being assessed if they require further payments because of this royal commission.
Also excellent point. In some ways hitting them financially probably impacts them more than hitting them with legal rulings because of their persecution complex.

Dude, JW's are getting crushed by the committie!

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!

Their answers aren't even good! They're that of a child. Did they not go over ahead of time to come up with good answers?
You know, I really dont think they did.
I think the "Ivory Tower" phenomenon seems to be in full effect. Apparently the rank and file need to rehearse how to pitch JW.ORg at every Service Meeting but the leadership are very sure of their righteousness and perhaps even believed that biblical line about "what to say will be given to you" by the Holy Spirit.
Meanwhile back in the trenches...how often were we told the Holy Spirit cant recall to your mind what wasnt put in your mind by YOU?

Theocratic Warfare
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
no doubt we noticed the royal commission ask vin toole (and i think terry o'brien) about the expression "theocratic warfare"?.

they were asked to explain it and what is meant to witnesses.. vin outrightly lied when he said he "had never heard of that expression!".

i remember him using that term in conversations and talks many times!!
millie210

The whole idea of dragging a God in to any earthly "warfare" is so presumptive no matter who it is.
The fact that JWs feel a situation is so dire as to require that kind of action when in fact they have created the actual situation themselves is beyond head shakingly stupid.

Jaidubdub2 hours agoBtw - I'm not attending meetings, have been inactive for several years but still socialise with a small selected group of jw's occasionally.
I have worked very hard to position myself in the same spot. So far so good. Really nice to meet you and thanks for sharing your "on site" impressions for someone like me far away in the States.

shout out to jwfacts.. just saw the drum.

excellent job !

That is the best independent interview I have seen. I have been looking and looking since the RC began their work for something to "capsulize" things that I could use to show a very skeptical person who really does want to leave the Org. You have provided just what I need Paul.
Thank you!

Theyve already done something.
Awareness is something.
Starting a world wide internet conversation is something.
Standing up for what is right and leaving a paper trail for other to build upon is something.

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.

On another pro site this comment was made, I guess some dont like the shenanigans of the "branch boys"
