if you have heard g. jackson speak you can tell that he is smooth.
he is a good speaker with a commanding voice.
i think the gb knew this was going to happen and prepped him to testify.
If I were GJ and I actually believed I was a spokesperson for God and that he could give me the divine words to speak when defending my faith, I STILL wouldn't testify. Why?
Jehovah is a god of unpredictability. Sometimes he shoes up. Sometimes he's off doin' other God stuff. Remember the fates of Isiah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Stephen and some Christians who the lions thought were delicious? Geoffery, do ya feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?
i make my living off the rank-and-file,.
i'm a bit of an expert, and i do it in style,.
if you wanna stay a while,.
Vid, don't cry I LOVE it. I missed it the first time you posted your lyrics.
The original was great but with your words it's perfect.
during yesterday's rc proceedings (wednesday 5th august 2015), one of the victim's lawyers questioned mr vincent toole, the jw organization's legal counsel for the australian branch office.
she asked him why at least two of the jw elders who gave evidence last week refused to swear on the bible.
mr toole appear puzzled by her question and said he did not know.
I have never heard of an official policy that would prevent a JW from taking an oath to tell the truth and swear on the Bible.
Maybe the elderz who wouldn't swear on the Bible knew they might not tell the truth. (Theocratic warfare.)
sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.
i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.
he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.
Defender of truth, both hubby and my e-mail addresses are our real names so can't be sent anonymously. Otherwise we would have sent the pdf already. Hopefully, either someone else has sent it or the reporter or her staff saw it.
Hopefully, since it appears the the RC has done a lot of research already, they may be aware of the JWfacts site. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
well after a long way out, and the divorce of my jw parents, and a long internal struggle, i'm finally living with my mother, openly said to her that i'm not a jw anymore, she's ok with that and getting more and more open-minded every day.
today i visited my self storage space wich i rented after the family split and got rid of all the jw related stuff, my mother only asked me to keep the insight the scriptures volumes... i felt very relieved after disposing those things, one by one, not feeling, i hope my mother is her way to wake up soon :) greetings from santiago, chile!
(you will see some magazines in spanish others in english because i was in the list for the english versions hahaha)

the police are saying this is a hate crime.. it sounds like a lot of of jws are really mad .
Nothing demonstrates you have the "truth" like writing hateful threatening graffiti all over a woman's property.

Can you think of another group or organization (either religious or secular) whose official policy is to PROMOTE child molesters as long as they are good at keeping secrets?
Why would those in charge fight so hard NOT to change their PROTECTIVE policy toward child molesters?
Birds of a feather

Defender of truth, Thank you for correcting my statement that it was a form. Accuracy is vital at these hearings.
Nevertheless, can you BELIEVE this asinine question? Defend THAT Watchtower!!!
i posted a topic with personal contact information on it.
such stupidity and i do deeply apologise to the person and the commission.. it has been taken down thank fully.. this morning i came skulking out of my cave, and with trepidation started the computer and checked my emails.............. there was a lovely compassionate email from the staff at rc telling me not to be too upset at what i had done.
they said they understood and it was important that i not get too distressed at the error.. then they said they were thankful for all the support and gratitude being shown to them from various parties and other places.
Umberto. unlike the WT$ you acknowledged your mistake, took active steps to correct it, then sincerely apologised. That's what decent people do.
someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?
i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.
whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].
CalebinFloroda, It's interesting that the NRSV is one of, if not the most highly regarded Bible translations. I say this because up until I was about 9 the WTS almost exclusively used the RSV. I was taught to memorize at least a dozen scriptures from it. When the NWT was used exclusively by JWs I had to unlearn the wording of the RSV and convert to the clumsy wording of the NWT.
If the WTS thought they were improving a respected translation, they were WRONG!
