at 9:31, Splane "splains" that when the Society changed the beloved Pyramid teachings, Brother Smith accepted it, he let reason win out over emotion!"
Try to do this without the GB's blessing, and see what happens to you!

David Splane, speaking about the warm fuzzy memeories we all have about the book study, the hundreds of pages and hours we spent studying the mandated "types and anti-types" (from 7:08 to 7:52)
"It is true that the study of types and anti-types could be thrilling, so here's a question for you, if the study of a certain subject makes chills run up and down your spine, could it possibly be mistaken? and the answer is "yes"!
Does the overlapping generation send chills up and down your spine?

JWorg & Scientology both have child sex abuse coverups within
by mrmagic injust watched leah remini's season 2 episode 1 about the child sexual abuse within scientology and the coverups.
the same cookie-cutter patterns as what we have with the jehovah's witnesses.
they have mention australia and i'm wondering if the australian royal commission will one day investigate scientology.

Pretty cool, mrmagic.. I also believe when JWs hear about it from another source, then come to the knowledge it is happening "within this clean borganization" it just might "click"

I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night
by stillin inthe first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.
the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.
the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.

OMG, stillin....
If she thinks it is unrealistic in real life, does she think it is crazy to see those?

How smart were the ancients?
by Coded Logic ingrowing up as a jw, i always thought the ancients were scientific morons who knew next to nothing.
ashamedly, i used to run around citing isaiah 40:22 as proof of the bible's 'divine authorship' because it talked about "the circle of the earth".
as though this were somehow an unknowable before spaceflight.

You know, I never thought about this fact before.... because we have computers, books, knowledge from others handed to us on a plate when we attend school....
If we lived in the "ancient world", spent time outside at night, looked at the moon, saw it's shadows grow across it night after night, we would realize the moon was a sphere, and could easily make the connection that the earth was also.
Right?

Thanks Andersons for putting that wealth of historial data together. The WT always has their slant put on history, how else would we know the reality of it all without such dedicated historians?
Thank you!

Thank you Smiddy, You are absolutely right! There are so many sides to the WT I forgot.... they are the most voracious "law users" around.
Yes, very true, if we had gone to the DA, it may have prevented others from being taken advantage of. The well practiced WT screws with peoples brains royally.
BUT, we are both now out! YAY!

**Correction: The reason my husband did not take the brother to court was NOT because of "dirtying Jeh's name"... It was a scriptural reason: "do not take your brother to court". He actually went to the Distirct Attorney, and told him about the case, the DA wanted to prosecute, but becaue of the scripture "do not take your brother to court", we did not press charges.

If these girls were molested, and apparently they felt that they were, I still support them for coming forward.
I have met many people who have to deal with the aftermath of feelings that child sex abuse brings on you. I personally would rather confront the person, and do my best to have him exposed to prevent others from falling in harms way.
I have been robbed by a "brother", lied to by the committe of three, and I was the one with PTS for over a year afterwards when "the robber" was not accused of anything. That does not mean he did not steal from me. He simply was not DF'd, reproved, or anything. We did not go to "the authorities" because my husband was an elder, and he did not want to dirty "Jehovah's name." Post Traumatic Stress is hard to deal with. I eventually overcame that, but would not want anyone to suffer with it's atrocities.
OJ Simpson was not found guilty of murder in the very sad trial he had the first time, but was found guilty of murder in the civil trial that followed.
Justice is very elusive. I feel for any who have had to feel the weight of injustice, and are not allowed to "come forward."
If this man has done no wrong, it shows further the terrible injustice the WT sets up for people. There is no justice with the WT.
