  Room 215

  The testimony of a Governing Body member before a major government board of inquiry should be front-page news in Watchtowerland.

  It will be fascinating to see how much-- if any -- of these proceedings get spun in the Watchtower or on JW.org.

  a thread on reddit has been made (not by me) to collect and organize all the highlights from the rc:.

  reddit master thread.

  a lot of the highlights have been added but many gold nuggets are still missing.

  What's the exact quote? It's a bit muddled... something like "it would be presumptuous" to make such a claim?

  so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.

  a few observations:.

  1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

  Gross hypocrisy in September 15, 2015 Watchtower

  by Island Man in

  ask any jw the question "why do jehovah's witnesses impose their views on others?

  we do not impose our views on anyone!".

  do you impose your views on others?

  It seems to me that their saying "we don't impose our beliefs on anyone" is a back-handed validation of their new stationary literature cart effort.

  Billy's comments to the RC #1 - "We always require at least two witnesses... except for when we don't."

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  2. child-abuse

  i'm still trying to catch up on the rc broadcast posted to youtube, and i haven't been able to keep up with everything discussed here about it.

  however, there have been a few points that i wish i could submit.

  repeatedly it has been stated that unless there is a confession, jcs can only act on testimony if it is corroborated by two or more witnesses to the wrongdoing.

  ... and what of the death sentence imposed on a rapist in the circumstances described in Deuteronomy 22:25 .. an assault on an engaged woman alone in a field, far from the eyes of any witnesses?

  I suspect one reason their priorities are so skewed toward protection of the accused, is that most of these are appointed elders and/or ministerial servants, not generally of the peripheral rank-and-rile members or "hangers on".... it's an indictment of their "appointment by holy spirit" fantasy.

  2pm, january 9, 2010 san juan, puerto rico.... jws from all over the island take turns to use the biggest coliseum in the caribbean (jose miguel agrelot coliseum).

  the big event... a brief 2-hour assembly featuring brooklyn bethel celebrities including anthony morris iii.

  there had been a lot of excitement building up in the days preceding this event as there were rumors circulating that the society had a very special announcement to make.. after 2 ambiguous talks from 2 bethel speakers, anthony morris iii finally takes the stage and everyone is so thrilled to see him up close or on the big screen behind the stage.

  "Also, that new PSA is good in that it encourages young ones how to react if someone does something inappropriate and makes them feel uncomfortable in any way, but it still fails to address the problem of pedophiles in the organization!"

  Oubliette, the problem with the PSA as I see it, is it puts the onus on THE CHILD to protect him/herself.
