  Has anyone asked older Jdubs how they feel about the GB annointed getting younger?

  by sherrie11 in

  i was married to a 30 year old jw back in the 90's and he claimed to be of the annointed.

  he partook at the memorials and all the elders and older jdubs didnt believe him.

  they actually gave him a really hard time.

  I just can't get my head around the fact at that time in the early nineties the doctrine was still pretty much 'Thousands living will not die" and that they were really promoting how there were only a few thousand anointed left etc.

  There is one elder I really feel for as he and his wife were former Giliad Students Brooklyn Bethelites than Missionarys.. blah blah and didnt have kids. Now its 2015 and the GB are getting younger and he is probably 80 plus. He is a real organizations man. I wonder if he has had cognitive dissident moment in regard to this or is he so indoctrinated that it just gets accepted.

  Sanderson would of been 47!! when he became a GB how do the older ones get their heads around that!! Considering in their day it was generally accepted the anointed and GB would be old.

  Hope this makes sense.

They actually gave him a really hard time. (this was before they suggested ones like him may have mental issues) These elders,CO's along with men and women would now be around the ages of 60-80 years old and I often wonder how they feel now seeing some of the GB members being just over 55.

  I wonder if there would be penalties if for instance the elders in a congregations or the Society in general do not report a child abuser. As we know due to the Royal Comisssion that in most cases they do not report these people to the police.

  I think a Royal Commission is different from ordinary summons to appear at court.

  ROYAL COMMISSIONS ACT 1902 - SECT 3

  1) A person served, as prescribed, with a summons to appear as a witness at a hearing before a Commission shall not:

  (a) fail to attend as required by the summons; or

  (b) fail to attend from day to day unless excused, or released from further attendance, by a member of the Commission.

  Penalty: $1,000 or imprisonment for 6 months.

  (1A) Subsection (1) is an offence of strict liability.

  Note: For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code .

  (1B) Subsection (1) does not apply if the person has a reasonable excuse.

  (2) A person appearing as a witness at a hearing before a Commission shall not fail to produce a document or other thing that the person was required to produce by a summons under this Act served on him or her as prescribed or that the person was required to produce by the member of the Commission presiding at the hearing.

  Penalty: $1,000 or imprisonment for 6 months.

  Did you hear that!? His Honour is insisting that Jackson attend the Royal Commission

  by umbertoecho in

  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!!!!!

  Geoffrey Jackson has refused to appear the judge is not impressed. He asked twice but arn't policies and procedure decisions made by New York.

  geoffrey couldn't appear due to personal reasons . Statemetn given he doesn't create the poicies or procedures. or something to that extent.

  I am disgusted !!

  The Royal Commission in Australia are holding a public hearing in July in regard to child abuse within the Watchtower.

  I believe the latest Sophie and Caleb video is to show that they have something in place to protect the children.

  Two things the commission is looking for from them is:

  · . The systems, policies and procedures in place within the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd for raising and responding to allegations of or concerns about child sexual abuse within the Church.

  4. The systems, policies and procedures in place within the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd to prevent child sexual abuse within the Church.
