Obvious OT Exception to the Two Witness "Rule"

by NotFormer in

in the torah, where the need for sanctuary cities is being established, a hypothetical situation is described where a bloke is swinging an axe, and the axe head flies off and kills another bloke.

the dead man's brother is designated "the avenger" and pursues the original guy in order to kill him for being responsible for the death.

he is allowed to do so, if the original guy doesn't make it to a sanctuary city.

Is the fact that Ted Jaracz weaponised the two witnesses rule to apply mainly in CSA cases a clue as to what he may have done to have been removed from the Australian branch? No-one seems to know what it was that he did, but it does look like, with the benefit of hindsight, that there are dots that can be connected.

Was the heavy enforcement of the two witnesses rule in CSA cases Jaracz's revenge upon his victims? If CSA had been on law enforcement's and society's radar in the 50s as it became in later decades, would Jaracz have ever made it to the same levels within the org that he did?

Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??

by smiddy3 in

i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.

to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.

to break the law?.

The insistence on loyalty to the org against obedience to the government makes me think of the mob. Perhaps one day governments will stop letting them hide behind the religious freedom rules, and classify them as the criminal organisation that they are. And yes, if they are giving orders to destroy documents that can leave a trail in future criminal investigations, then they are a criminal organisation. If it quacks, waddles and looks like a duck...

Tony Morris replaced - by ANOTHER teleprompter reader!

the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

St George, the whole thing is a conundrum. 🤔 If he did something easily proven to be reprehensible, it shouldn't be hard to get rid of him. Unless it is some dumb question of ego: that they can't admit that the process may allow flawed characters onto the GB. Which then could cast doubt on any other GB member. And we couldn't possibly have that, could we!? 🙄

The other possibility is one that has already been suggested, that TM3 has enough knowledge about where the bodies are buried, that it is worth the GB's while to protect him and cover for him. If that's what is going on, the smoking gun must be enormous! 😱

Smiddy: if aliens were real, then a lot of things would have to be reconsidered. An alien 👽 that can do interstellar travel is hardly going to be frightened by the threat of Armageddon to the population of Earth 🌎🌍! 🙄

Regarding the sheep pooh, I think that you are thinking of a "dagg" which is literally what you said, encrusted sheep pooh hanging onto a sheep's fleece. The New Zealand comedian, John Clarke, became famous in NZ as a character named "Fred Dagg". He had a hit in NZ with a version of Billy Connolly's "If it Weren't for Your Wellies", but being NZ, it was "If it Weren't for Your Gumboots". So yes, a dagg is a pretty low class, scruffy individual, probably with bad hygiene! 😁

A drongo is a bird native to North Australia; the slang term had pretty well the same meaning as "nong". 😁 I doubt that the bird was particularly stupid; the term probably came about just because it sounds kind of dumb. 😸

I believe there is some of Fred Dagg's stuff preserved on YouTube. He was a pretty funny character. John Clarke eventually moved to Australia, like a lot of NZ entertainers, because the NZ market tends to be a bit small.

It is indeed educational. I always thought nonce was like "nong" in Australia, someone who's not very bright. I didn't realise that it had a very specific and very negative definition.

He is allowed to do so, if the original guy doesn't make it to a sanctuary city. If both victim and the person who "manslaughtered" him are dead, then there are not two or three witnesses to establish the avenger's story, yet the avenger's testimony is accepted.

Yet WT still insists on two witnesses in a CSA case. 🙄🤢
