  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  Why can't you apply the same critical thinking to the JWs?

  Compartmentalization.

  Just be warned that fundamentalist religions leads to brain shrinkage, and chauvinism not a very good combination for future happiness if you ask me.

  jws very much believe that there is an absolute truth and of course, they are the only ones who have it lol.

  how about now though do you still believe that absolute truths exist?

  or is everything subjective?

  No heck no!

  Absolute truth about what? The braggings of a imagined Deity of the bible is that absolute truth? God is Love type of absolute truth? Theory of everything absolute truth? Ultimate reality absolute truth? What is this vague abstract shadowy thing we call absolute truth anyway?

  Yeah they had to spend some time to dangle the carrot to keep these Watchtower zombies in servitude to Corporation's interest I see a big hit up for money coming very soon. These loonies(GB) that make up these conventions are just so evil in the way they pray on these poor people it has got to becoming obvious a significant percentage of these people.

  I'm expecting a real problems to develope now from these RCs and there content both legally and within the organization. It is definitely gonna hurt their cases against them especially if used as evidence of fraud and untrustworthy speech on the witness stand. I hope we see these guys in court real soon,, defending their asses against major lawsuits and some lawyer showing these RCs to judge and jury to get a huge sum in settlements for his client.

  Boy this batch of Governing Body members are very desperate to go this far, but these guys will do anything to keep the flock from those they kick out. I'm sure a lot of JWs will smell a rat on this one.

  Australian Royal Commission hearing[edit]
  As part of an ongoing investigation, the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse held a public hearing to investigate allegations of child sexual abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses in Australia, from July 27 to August 14, 2015.[7] At the time, Jackson was in Australia, and a debate took place during the hearing as to whether Jackson would be able to give testimony before the Royal Commission. Senior Council Angus Stewart, on August 5, during a questioning of Terrence O’Brien, a member of the Australian Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses, claimed that O'Brien "sought to mislead the Royal Commission, to protect Mr Jackson from any potential summons to appear."[8] The 2 reasons initially given for Jackson's being unable to appear before the Commission were 1) that Jackson was in Australia to take care of his father, who was sick, and 2) because Jackson's main work was in translating, and thus he could not be of assistance in the matter of child sexual abuse. Though O'Brien insisted Jackson's work was related to translating, Stewart called O'Brien's statement "false"[8]and questioned whether the claim regarding the situation of Jackson's father was trustworthy. (In his own words in his life story, in the August 15, 2015 edition of The Watchtower, Jackson stated: "I... no longer serve as a translator."[3]) Jackson was summoned to appear before the Royal Commission on August 14.[9]
  At the introduction of his summons, Jackson answered questions regarding the Governing Body and his specific work as a member of the Writing, Teaching, and Personnel Committees. Jackson was further questioned regarding the teachings and policies of the Governing Body as they relate to handling allegations of child sexual abuse. Jackson referred to various Bible passages to give the basis for such policies.[2]
