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.. .

I think the Russian Govt. can see through this ploy and will nip it in the bud.
I can`t see the JW`s pulling the wool over the Russian Govts.eyes

It could be interesting to say the least where this could lead .
Watch this space.
some time ago a super-dub stopped by to try to encourage me to return to jw land.
my demeanor during our conversation was extremely serious.
i was polite, but dignified.
I would have liked it if you had challenged him on that statement Magnum and got his response .
“But you know what? They’re helping the young people.”
though it` easy for me to say so in hindsight
so i've been watching the show and really enjoying it.
great to see a trek tv series finally get a reasonable budget.
beautiful costumes, sets, cinematography, action pieces, etc.. really my only complaints are how cg all the ships look and there's a fair bit of stiff dialog from time to time.. what do you guys think of the show?.
I have seen one or two episodes will have to watch a few more to see how it goes from there.
Hey Dio.. if I was around 3 centuries from now I`d be still singing and dancing to the bee Gees
elders arranged a sort of informal visit by a more capable elder accompanied by another brother who is more qualified than me from academic background.
their purpose was to reason with me as a last resort to avoid a jc.. during the two-hour discussion, i could make my point clear to them: “i don’t think any one particular religion has the whole truth.
it may be existing as bits and piece in all religions and schools of thought.
Before they DF you , why not beat them to the gun and DF them by DA yourself from the religion of JW`s for their apostasy.
After all they claim they were appointed in 1919? as the F&DS by what they were teaching then right ?
Well their is nothing that they teach now that resembles what they were teaching in 1919 and if you did start spruiking what they taught in 1919 you would be DF`d
Just a thought Ireneus
Best of luck to you
about a type of cult - not religious.
just a movie.
however, about had several earmarks of a cult.
Smiddy, I believe anyone from Oz or Kiwi Land would have a problem "getting" the real thrust of the movie.
I`m not sure whether I should take that as a compliment or an insult Tara ? no I`ll take it as a compliment.
Are you suggesting it`s a racist / anti racist movie ? I never thought of it in those terms if that is what you mean
just wondering if anyone has gone back to a meeting out of curiosity?
(perhaps to an area far from your old khall where you know no one).
with all the changes from 2012 onwards (videos, tv screens, new meeting format, new songs etc) it would be an odd experience to be in attendance!.
Sorry stuck I couldn`t think of anything more cringe worthy after being out for 25 years.

While I didn`t mind the movie per se and sure it had the cult spectre about it I certainly wouldn`t nominate it for best picture for 2018 Academy Awards and I really don`t see how it relates in any way to the JW religion.
But hey that`s just me.
