life has been busy, but i am now on 2 weeks vacation which allowed me some thinking room.
and here's what's been on my mind.. we're all going to die.
no matter what we do, our fate is sealed.
We all walk this planet for a short period of time. The best thing we can do is act to make the journey for those after us an easier one.
The ironic thing is that accepting the JW outlook on life and death for instance hinders one from doing so to the full extent.
Even if they have the mental ability to, by default JWs are prevented from reaching their full potential and leaving behind a legacy of great achievements in science, business, or politics.
1. will jw.org implement all / some of the recommended changes?.
2. will jw.org proudly refuse citing that they will "obey god as ruler rather than men"?.
3. will news about the rc goes viral, and how will the world at large respond?.

4. How will JWs respond if this goes nuclear?
- skepticism and ignoring it by most, life goes on?
- 1000s leaving within a year?
- 100s of thousands leaving within a year?
- power struggles in the leadership of how it was handled / how it should be handled?
- will they cry persecution on a grand scale and instruct that preaching take place covertly worldwide?
- will they claim 'Great Tribulation', and order an end to all field activity, sell property, and continue asking for donations until the 'end' comes?
5. Could increased coverage and public understanding of the what happened in Australia catapult JWs into being synonymous with pedophilia the same way saying the words "priests and choir boys" does to many people currently?
6. Will it have been the crack that burst the dam open for lawsuits on worldwide scale?
- if so how will they react when cornered from all angles?
earlier this morning the royal commission website stated:.
"the royal commissions public hearing into the jehovahs witnesses will recommence in sydney on friday 14 august 2015 at 11:00am.. it is anticipated that the hearing will hear from one witness, mr geoffrey jackson, a member of the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.
"now that has been changed.
Screw the court session. For Geoffrey Jackson they should turn the questioning session into a JW style 'judicial committee' and lock him in a room with Justice McClellan, Justice Jennifer Coate, and Angus Stewart. No AC, armed guards outside, and cameras rolling inside for the whole world to see while they whip him mercilessly with back and forth interrogation style questions.
I'd spend on pay-per-view to see that
what question would you ask geoffrey jackson, as a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, to answer?
.
jw leaks.
Does the need for 'New Light' come about as a result of you misunderstanding "communication from Jehovah" and adjusting, or is it a result of Jehovah not communicating clearly enough?
Do you think he should switch to Verizon?
i'm still 'in' and this website is the only thing that's been keeping me sane for a long while.. knowing that i'm not alone, the success stories, and the constant update of breaking news that provides hope such as the exposure of the organisation at the hands of the royal commission makes me happy while i'm stuck in this dark hole.
that's so especially today when i'm dealing with a sht storm of personal issues and the pretending that everything is fine is just rubbing pepper into my wounds.
i'm thankful for this website and all you beautiful people.
Thanks for the love everyone!!! Thanks to those who have inboxed me as well. It helps to know that even though I don't know you personally there are people all across the world in my support network. Especially so because you can relate to all the pain and suffering.
I'm trying to hold on!

PS:I'm logged in at meeting with tears in my eyes.
as the shepherd the flock book is now in the public domain, if the .org decides to create a new manual, how soon will it be leaked?.
this is mostly a question for wifibandit, but anyone else who may know is welcome to answer.
would it be a matter of days before we get a .pdf?
What is the speed of light?
Faster than that!!!
and money wasn't an issue, what would it be?
1. Take control of JW.org, and print pro gay rights, and gay marriage 'nu-lite'. Email various organizations around the world telling them that "We Jehovah's Witnesses have finally come to our senses in this 21st century and have decided to embrace persons of all creeds and viewpoints in imitation of the 'happy God' Jehovah." Push the story on all major news networks, and wait for the wrath of the planet when Watchtower tries to retract the statement.
2. Release more 'nu-lite' of them doing away with shunning and disfellowshipping, and state that the only persons to now be disfellowshipped are elders who still try to disfellowship.

i actually started clapping at that point, as his honour explained to the wt type creep sycophantic slithery lawyer that........" i understand that we all have issues to face in life and .....that is a part of life...........however it has become obvious that this man ....is in such a position to assist with this investigation.....".
it boils down to the fact that stewart outright accused the latest witness of misleading the royal commission and this lead to some document searches which led his honour to conclude that they had been protecting mr jackson.
this was a warm and fluffy moment folks.................brilliant stuff!!!!!
@umbertoecho: He could don a pair of 'spanx' with a wig, and brightly coloured socks
