  happy new year!

  time to give us your vote for lloyd's fall from grace this month.. december 6th he was at 406. as of today, january 3rd, he's at 388. that is exactly, on the dot, where he was january 3rd of last year!

  he's lost all gains from his begging videos and reminders and tin cup waving and etc.. so, fire up the shrooms and let us know where you think flab boy will be on february 2nd.

  The signs are there, YouTube earthquakes in one site after another, these surely are the last of the last days for imposters, even the very last days !

  So, if we apply “Bible chronology” Watchtower hallucinations to this we start at 607 110 years of failed prophecy, divide by “time, times and half a time” to give a reduction in numbers of 31.

  So put me down for 357 please.

  Cheers 🍷

  As for why he told Kim? Grubby people like him often seem to get a kick out of telling others (especially women) how grubby they are.

  Guilt? In some way he felt the need to confess.

  Judicial Committees asking Details of Sex acts

  i remember knowing that jcs would ask very personal questions about sex activities.

  They are told not to do this . I sat on many committees over the years and never saw it happen. This from “ Shepherd The Flock” chapter 16
  ”The committee should first seek to establish the facts and ascer- tain the attitude of the accused. This requires skillful and discreet questions. The judicial committee should be thorough but not in- quire about needless details, especially in regard to sexual mis- conduct.”

  Me too! I served on so many judicials over the years, in fact, one of my last participations in the Borg was to be part of a Special Committee authorised by the GB to investigate a certain country’s Branch Committee. (Yep, sex was involved!)

  I can attest to the likelihood of JC members wanting to know the most intimate of details in a ‘case’ where sex was involved.

  These guys got their jollies from it ! And remember that the men who make up a JC are “unlettered and ordinary” as the WT so often proclaims. I would go so far as to say that some are best described as simpletons.

  Hearing details of various sex encounters at a JC is like opening a window to another world for some of them.

  We know it (judicial committees) as something else…it’s abuse !

  @ Pete

  It would seem obvious to pasters in most other churches that their role is to offer comfort and support. In the JWs and some others they take on the role of detectives and prosecutors.

  Too right, mate !

  Punishment and control: the secret handbook that rules a religion

  this article is behind a paywall: https://www.smh.com.au/national/punishment-and-control-the-secret-handbook-that-rules-a-religion-20231026-p5ef9z.html.

  a herald investigation has uncovered disturbing practices within the jehovah’s witness church, including the systems for discipline, punishment and control in a secret rule book for church “elders”.. australian children in the jehovah’s witnesses religion are being trained to avoid life-saving blood transfusions and parents are being coached to thwart court processes that may prevent their children from dying, internal church documents reveal.. an investigation following an inquest into the death of jehovah’s witness heather winchester, who died in newcastle after refusing a blood transfusion, has uncovered disturbing practices within the australian church, including the systems for discipline, punishment and control contained in the secret rule book for church “elders”.. the church’s blood transfusion ban forces people to choose between risking death by refusing treatment or being “shunned” – cut off from family and friends under the church’s strict rules – according to 16 former and current members of the church interviewed and the testimony of many others.. .

  some of them believe it has cost hundreds of lives in australia.. “i think it’s truly dangerous for children, who are not old enough to vote or drive, to be coached about how to convince a judge or doctors about a decision that is potentially life-threatening,” said fleur hawes, 32, a solicitor who escaped the religion and is speaking out for the first time.. in public, the jehovah’s witnesses’ leadership downplays the impacts of its ban on blood transfusions, which are based on interpretations of bible passages that say christians should not eat blood.. .

  @ Bill Covert

  Realize I am a mechanic not a wordsmith, I can't hold a candle to the writing skills of many on this site.

  Thank you for adding this.

  You raise a heap of objections and I’m sure it’s being digested in many parts of the world right now.
