  Has the Governing Body EVER apologized for anything?

  by Wild_Thing in

  geoffrey jackson testified to the arc that the governing body has apologized for things in the past, so an apology to sexual abuse victims is "perceivable".

  what has the governing body ever apologized for?.

  22 q. just on that point, mr jackson, has the governing body23 considered apologising to survivors of child sexual abuse24 at the hands of elders within the organisation?25 a. i haven't been in any discussions with regard to that.26 27 q. is that something that you foresee might happen ‐ in 28 other words, that an apology at least be considered?29 a. the governing body has apologised on other matters, so30 for me to say ‐ i can't speak collectively for everybody, 31 but we have apologised on things in the past, in other32 areas, so it is perceivable.. .

  about a type of cult - not religious.

  just a movie.

  however, about had several earmarks of a cult.

  That should read "liberal, middle class WHITE America."

  Virtue-signalling irks me, too.

  I said me too; LOL.

  Smiddy, I believe anyone from Oz or Kiwi Land would have a problem "getting" the real thrust of the movie.

  greetings, old timers (in particular):.

  of course, we don't share all views in common.

  unless i'm mistaken, however, we older, former jws were decisive about what our "bible-trained consciences" would allow -- or not.

  Marilyn McCoo and Florence LaRue were considered role models for us young ladies.

  Through a Darkened Pane

  my frequent walks these last few years about the neighborhood so familiar to me would ordinarily be construed a pleasant enough non-event.

  a little mild exercise - taken in small doses to keep the joints operating properly - and a keen eye peeled for the ever-changing face of nature have rendered the daily promenade a suitable diversion.

  until recently.

  My living arrangements remain the same.

  I meant I was summarily dismissed from this forum by Simon in May of last year.

  I missed y'all so much that I re-registered under a different name.

  Hopefully, I will be able to fly beneath his radar.

  Perhaps by eschewing political and/or religious threads?

  Couldn't the GB have foreseen "spiritual endangerment" taking hold with Internet approval?

  having listened to the two gb helpers (and cedar's interspersed commentary), i was somewhat taken aback at the comments on the widespread availability of smartphones and such at bethel.

  of course, in the congregations, too.

  At least the tablets will serve to get rid of those cumbersome magazines.

  Lapboard siding, clapboard, ship lap . . .

  Oh, how I miss my little cottage in the deep woods!

  Since my abrupt dismissal, my grandson and I have explored the possibility that Earth just may not be a planet after all.

  It has been a humbling, reflective, and, sometimes perturbing journey.

  Thanks for resurrecting TADP.😘

  I've been keeping up with y'all.

  You are in my heart always.

  This weekend, I read all 72 pages of TADP again for the first time.

  Edit: Make that 73 pages. I MUST stop relying on my dodgy memory.

  So poignant.
