Geoffrey Jackson: "That would be presumptuous of us"...
by Calebs Airplane inwithin the first few minutes, mr. stewart asked geoffrey jackson if the members of the governing body consider themselves to be god's spokesperson on earth.. his response: "that would be presumptuous of us" (implying that they don't consider themselves to be god's sole channel of communication).. to me, that was the worst lie of about 26 lies he's told during this hearing.
however, mr. stewart missed an opportunity to call out mr. jackson on this bold-faced lie.
he should have asked him to explain why the watchtower magazine teaches otherwise.

I don't think he lied. He certainly practiced his answer in advance to deceive the RC into thinking that the GB are not deluded religious leaders, but without outright denying that they consider themselves the sole channel of communication of God. He said "it would seem presumptuous...". A strict analysis of the structure of the sentence does not indicate that he lied. Pay attention to the key words "it would seem". He never said "we are the sole..." or "we are not..." -

Thanks Doug,
I will start reading tonight. It looks like a good summary for those who find the 400 page books of Introduction to Hebrew Scripture a bit too burdensome.

Not much to add to the good advice you received. Regarding your eating disorder, based on my personal experience (eating even when I am not hungry) try exercise, even walking can help. But it's better if you establish a routine that you adhere to and is rather intensive. I am skeptic by nature about faith based beliefs, but if there's any subject that would bring out the word faith to my mind, it is exercise. It cures, or at least helps cure many physical and mental problems. -

Let's hope letters like these motivate the Royal Commission to contact other governments and share their findings so these other government do as the Royal Commission has done. I am rather optimistic that the recent events in Australia will spread to other places in the world. -

Didn't he say something like "I have empathy for whatever tragedy she had" when referring to BCG. "Whatever" makes it generic and vague, and makes the whole statement insincere. So he claims not to know any details about the case, but he claims empathy. What a phony! -

How do they manage to always end up with the same solution. Preaching and privileges is JW's panacea.

2007 Awake mentions Child Abuse in Australia!
by SG098 inin the october 2007 awake!
page 11, the b0rg had the audacity to say this concerning child sexual abuse: "sadly, though, most of such [child abuse] crimes go unpunished by authorities today.
in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.
