1,000 sex abuse cases hidden in Australia for 68,000 publishers...what is it worldwide?
by cappytan inthe press is reporting that over 1,000 cases of abuse were hidden from authorities in australia.. australia has around 68,000 publishers.. if you that ratio applied to the u.s. also, there could be over 14,700 cases that were covered up here.. if the ratio held the same worldwide, that would be over 117,600 cases.. just let that sink in a little..

I think they have been given an impossible task IMHO
What confuses me, is if these guys think its impossible, and are stressed and don't agree with the "rules" in dealing with sex offenders, why didn't they all go on strike or something. Or refuse to work?
Safety in numbers. The GB can't get rid of all the lawyers and solicitors. It will be suicide for the GB.

JW Reaction to Royal Commission Reports
by maksutov inhas anybody confronted any jws with the royal commission reports on the news yet?
i showed my 8-year old daughter a newspaper headline about it, and when she told my jw wife that the jws in australia were in trouble for not reporting over 1,000 child abusers to police, her response was "oh, really?
well, i don't know what the rules are over there.

JWs will not take notice until this affects them on a personal level. By that i mean when they start to get hounded behind the "trolley's" and when it is physically impossible to ignore the negativity. -

Governing Body, painted in a corner, now what?
by Wasanelder Once inthe governing body have painted themselves in a corner, so to speak.
if they acknowledge their response to abuse claims was insensitive, unloving and inadequate they are denying the belief that "god's way" is best and risk losing abuse cases.
if they stick with it and say it is "god's way according to the bible" they will be seen as cult leaders and risk losing abuse cases.

I'm still in, and if any one breaths at word of this to me, i will full on tell them all the details.
There is going to be some very upset JWs in the next few weeks.
Are we going to see a decline in JWism in Australia because of this? I hope so.

Not heard a peep from anyone.
For it to be noticed by most dubs, it will have to be front page news on all the papers and top headline on news sites and radio stations...
It's only been 2 days out of 2 weeks (?)
The shit is about to hit the proverbial fan.

The obvious thing that is going to happen when them 3 guys from Australia bethel get grilled, is to pass the buck onto the GB.
Can the royal commission request any GB members for questioning? Could they work with the the U.S authorities in getting them over to Australia for questioning?
My guess it will be business as usuall for the GB, until this shit directly affects them personally. Then we might see some heads roll......maybe.

JW ended a relationship with me
by V1922 inmy jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.
it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.
he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

There is a line between casual relationship (what he probably wanted) and a full blown relationship (what you wanted and what happened)
The thing with JW guys though, is they have marriage marriage marriage drummed into their heads so much, that he probably doesn't know how to undertake a casual relationship.
So he ends up dating a good women like yourself and rationalizes with himself that it's OK because he would be thinking about marriage. Breaking some rules, but wouldn't get him kicked out of the religion.
Then the whole issue of sex comes up. He get's frustrated and inevitably (as the path of relationships go) you have sex.
That's when his guilt will kick in, and he'll just end up believing that this is a casual relationship, because in his mind, the only sex you have before marriage is "casual". But the kicker is, he doesn't want a casual relationship, he thinks he wants to get married. This is because in the JW religion, you don't date anyone unless you want to marry them.
So he breaks it off with you, probably because of guilt, and a lot of it is JW conditioning for him to think in a certain way.
The guilt will wear off, and he will (probably) do it again to another women, with the same end results as yourself.
And the whole cycle goes round and round and round....
That is a very basic explanation.

M.E is one the JWs all seem to have.
Constant banging on the drum to do more, do more, do more, will burn anyone out if they take the religion seriously enough. Listen to to the GB, not to your body telling you to take a break.

Potential for new meeting?
by campaign of hate ini've mentioned it in a few threads, but i'd like to make it a thread of it's own.. i'm going to make the prediction the gb will schedule a new meeting once a month, starting in jan 2016, for watching the jw broadcasting program.
at the moment it's up to each cong to organize a viewing, but soon the gb will take over the arrangements.. i make this assumption based on the fact that they know that a substantial quantity of pubs are not tuning in every month.. by scheduling a meeting once a month, it's easier for the gb/elders/organisation to gauge how many people are watching, and to make sure everyone is fully indoctrinated with what the gb are saying.
it will also keep the rank and file busy busy busy.. if i was a cult leader, that's what i would do.

If i was a cult leader, that's what i would do. Try and get as many people to watch my face every month, and for them to listen to every word i say.
It will be announced at the AGM 2015.
I'm calling it.

JW Broadcasting is dying.
by John Aquila inonce a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.
these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.
they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.

That boredcasting thing is just a fad.
FAD: an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze.
That's all this religion is these day. Fad, fad, fad.
It's less than one year old, and it's already getting boring in a lot of congs.
That's why i think the GB will schedule a new meeting once a month to watch that shit. It will be mandatory, like the midweek and weekend meeting. That will get the sheep back in line.
