Yes we can admit that we are getting a bit hysterical and we may be showing signs of insanity but we don't want to let a good opportunity like this pass by so that the truth can come out.

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

Now that we know that Geoffrey Jackson will be questioned by the Royal Commission on Friday, is there anything that anyone can think off that the Royal Commission needs to know before he is questioned by them? -

How to spot: a single JW sister
by purrpurr ini remember this time of year when jw's desend en mass on one area.
a fun game to play is "spot the..." whatever jw walking stereotype you choose.. so i thought i would play it with you guys, starting with how to spot a single jw sister.. i say, she will be dressed up to the nines, probably over dressed in fact, have hair immaculately coffied, make up plastered on, towering heels and be smiling at every brother in site.
all they need is a sign saying "pioneer, virgin, available for marriage!".

I feel sorry for a lot of these young women, they would be in the 20's 30's and 40's and still virgins.
They are not be allowed to experience life and do things according they their own conscience.

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

Even if there are no financial repercussions or legal ramifications for WT I believe the the Royal Commission has been a huge success.
The RC did their homework and spoke the JW language, they knew what questions to ask, WT had no where to hide, it showed the incompetence of all the elders, and their legal team. The elders were twisting and changing their stories because they were scared, they showed they were more interested in covering their own asses and their religion rather than the care of our little children.
Everything is now on public record and can be used as a reference for anyone who wants it.
Well done to the Royal Commission, they spoke with respect and compassion.
I also hope they don't let Geoffrey Jackson out of the country before they interview him, I would love to see him on public record.

JW's have JC meetings in private and if a child molester is DF'd they keep everything in private, they will not warn the congregation or the rest of society about this person. This is where the JW policies are wrong, the royal commission is at least giving 2 sides of the story and everything is on record and is in the open so that no one can hide anything.
If JW's want to be judges they should also do everything in the open for everyone else to see, just as they did in bible times.

To DA or not to DA, that is the question?
by dubstepped inlet me preface this by saying that i don't expect anyone here to make my decision for me.
i do however note that like the bible says, in the multitude of counselors there is wisdom, and this is a huge decision, so i wanted to put it out there for discussion.
i really appreciate your words of wisdom, as this affects not just me but my wife also, as we find ourselves in the same boat.

I faded about 25 years ago, the only I reason I did this is because I didn't want this cult to come between me and my family. My children grew up as normal children, we celebrated birthdays and xmas, my family just stayed away at this time of year because they don't want to stop seeing me either.
It's really funny because my mum who is 82 has just joined Facebook and has become Facebook friends with me and my children so sees all the Happy birthday posts but never says anything. I know she does this because she still wants to be part of my life.
if I DA'd myself or got DF'd they would have to play by their religions rules.
