Haha! If I'd thought it might get shared I would've taken more care putting it together.
It's so very obviously photoshopped lol.
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?

You might want to post this on some prominent Catholic forums too:
"Watch a Jehovah's Witness pope defend their teachings on child abuse to a government Royal Commission inquiry. Live on TV!" (plus link).
Karma's a bitch.

apparently the backroom arguments have been heard and decided.
the royal commission finally uploaded a redacted version of the 2015 branch manual.
watchtower lawyers were looking to have as much redacted from this manual as possible.
P. 138 Submitting Articles [for the wt/Awake]
Do not submit material for publication that might cause difficulty for our brothers locally or elsewhere. Many things can be written that will not hurt our work and may even engender goodwill. The truth should be presented, of course, but in a tactful way.

There's no doubt that the GB are firmly in charge.
Chapter 1, Page 5.
Point 3. "While the Governing Body delegates certain details or responsibilities to committees made up of its own members, to committees made up of other dedicated servants of God, or to instruments such as corporations and legal agencies, the Governing Body always takes the lead in promoting the smooth functioning of the organisation and the unity of all of Gods people".
Point 4. The Governing Body gives final approval for new publications as well as new audio and video programs.
Point 6. [...] The Governing Body has the prerogative to use its discretion and look into any matters it deems necessary to examine with regard to the Kingdom work.
EDIT to Add : ThomasCovenant spotted the same!!

Please explain these two comments from the Guidelines for Branch Office Service Desks
18. Factors to consider: At times, the conduct of an individual may not be classified as child abuse from the perspective of the congregation, but from a legal standpoint he may be viewed as guilty of such.
19. ... if the one who views child pornography does not involve anyone else in his actions, this is not considered to be child abuse from a congregational standpoint.
no doubt we noticed the royal commission ask vin toole (and i think terry o'brien) about the expression "theocratic warfare"?.
they were asked to explain it and what is meant to witnesses.. vin outrightly lied when he said he "had never heard of that expression!".
i remember him using that term in conversations and talks many times!!
@JWFACTS
The first quotation on your link needs a little qualification.
The line starting "The faithful witness does not commit perjury when testifying" is attributed to w2004 Nov p. 28.
To be more accurate it should be w2004 Nov 15 p.28.
hey guys.
this was just put up on the rc site.
rc will recommence on the 14th august.. http://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/2015-08/public-hearing-into-the-jehovah%e2%80%99s-witnesses-to-rec.

Sorry, I'm possessed....

Sorry, one more.
In Awake! 1994 May 22 p.2
Youths Who Put God First (3-15) you wrote
"In former times thousands
of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played
out in hospitals and courtrooms, with
blood transfusions the issue."
Four years later you contradicted this by saying (w98 12/1 p.14 Defending Our Faith)
"Jehovah's Witnesses have been targets of
false accusations - barefaced lies and twisted presentations of their beliefs... The accusation that numerous children of
Jehovah's Witnesses die each year as a result of refusing blood transfusions is
totally unfounded."
Then in w04 6/15 p. 23 par. 16 'Be Guided by the Living God' you amended the Blood Policy:
"What about small fractions extracted from a primary component, such as serums containing antibodies to fight a disease or to counteract snake venom? (See page 30, paragraph 4.) Some have concluded that such minute fractions are, in effect, no longer blood and hence are not covered by the command ‘to abstain from blood.’ (Acts 15:29; 21:25; page 31, paragraph 1) That is their responsibility."
Question: Did all those children that you were so proud to tell us had died in 1994, all die needlessly because of your incorrect doctrines which you later changed in 2004?
