listening to the first survivor testify to the australian royal commission really brought back some feelings i had put aside.. the feelings of guilt you feel for doing the right thing is extremely hard even when you know it's illogical it doesn't stop the abuse you do to yourself with these toxic thoughts of "dragging jehovah's name through the mud" i guess it doesn't help that you have the elders freaking out saying "reproach, reproach...this is bad!!
it took quite awhile for me to come to terms with how completely ridicules it is to think jehovah would want this hidden.
the truth is the religion wants it hidden and they are perfectly fine with destroying lives along the way!!
Yeah and Jehovah gets really pissed if his ass isn't being kissed all the time while the 4 Cherubs cover themselves and cry out ceaselessly Holy Holy Holy.
Jehovah's braggadocio nature about being the best, strongest, cleanest, almightiest, sure is gonna get a set back with it's association by name on this pedophile protecting cult.
let's think about this for a bit.
adam was tempted and sinned by eating of the fruit.
he missed out on immortality by being denied the tree of life.
I like their questions it's hard to tie this branch guy down on the issue of who determines if scriptural guide line are followed he is avoiding at all cost implicating the Governing Body. I hope he asks this person directly if the Branch decides that Scriptural guide lines are met with a new policy can they be over ruled by the Governing Body's interpretation of scripture meaning and application of the guiding scripture..
Also he needs to be asked that if he would follow the Governing Body's interpretation of scriptural guidance even if it was against the law, whether he had the same interpretation or not??
And If the Governing Body said they(the branch committee) were wrong in handling child molestation issues could they disagree with the GB and still hold their positions in this organization?
sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.
i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.
he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.
Wasn't GB Jackson part of the Australian branch and did he have anything to do with this cover up besides being on the GB. It seems like all GB members have come there through working in the service department so they all must have their hands pretty dirty in this stuff.
this is from conti's appeal veredict:.
monica applewhite, a clinical social worker and an expert on child sexual abuse, testified for defendants that watchtowers policy against disclosing private information .
very closely mirror[ed] the codes of ethics of the national association of social workers and the american counseling association.
now they no what it feels like to be on other side of the questions more fellow feeling now.
Yes it is justice and it will be an even greater justice to see the Governing Body appear in some form of tribunal here is the United States of America.
The United States of America the 7th world power of bible prophecy according the the clowns called the Governing Body aka Faithful and oh so Discreet Slave to ancient superstitions about a blood hungry Deity who doesn't mind comping on a few animal sacrifices while wait for the main course called the world of mankind that doesn't not kiss his royal ass.
Their little glick they have found in this(freedom of religion and religious indoctrination with almost no bariors)system of things(world) is evaporating as mankind enters the information age just getting started.
with all the talk about the org's policies and failures regarding child sexual abuse being publically exposed in australia, i thought that it may be a good time to highlight this... i apologise if this has already been discussed, but on the 9th of july the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales was opened.
here is some information regarding it's aims.. "about the inquiry.
the inquiry offers an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in england and wales have taken seriously their responsibility to protect children.. the inquiry will investigate a wide range of institutions including:.
i am shocked that an expert would simply examine only the literature given to her by the organisation she was defending and simply accept it.
also the ease she has in making huge sweeping statements when comparing the jw's to all other international religious organisations simply undermines her professionalism.. i am also thoroughly shocked at her blatant, 'expert for hire', 'will defend anyone' apparent decision making, the organisation is responsible for covering up thousands of abuse victims by its own records, in australia alone!
never mind their judicial process being heartless and traumatic!.
The Governing Body must be thinking boy pay this female a lot of money for her expert testimony and she is flubbing it royally I hoping we could get a refund or no tip for her.
I wonder if Tight Pants Tony likes her tight clothing which Jehovah finds disgusting representing his freakish viewpoints of right and wrong to the world.
