  GB member and 17000 US$ iWatch !

  one member of a similar spanish speaking forum has found something quite interesting.. it is quite funny to see that gb members do not really realize how their belongings are really showing them as a fraud.

  do you expect to see a gb wearing a 17000 us$ iwatch when answering to a court.

  geoffrey jackson does !.

  G. Jackson:

  What if an elderly sister (or brother) came to you to ask for assistance because of being destitute, not able to obtain a meal; what would your answer be? Would it be, "this is not my field," or, "we do not do this."

  Flaunting your means of existence would suggest that you would not be too quick to help even these ones. Because if you were willing to help those in need, you would sell the watch and provide for needy ones. Instead, you wear the watch in public; meaning you intend to keep it for yourself.

  If this is the case, then you should step down.

  There are already two threads about it here:
  

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/440110001/geoffrey-jacksons-golden-apple-watch-investigated

  Yours is now a third. But thx for sharing, anyway.

  Topics that are interesting are buried so quickly that it is hard to track a topic that you may be interested in. There are probably others who appreciate having a topic brought back to life, even if it means creating a new topic on the same subject. Maybe, some adjustment can be made to the database to solve this problem. It will save time and space.

  Back to the Topic: G. Jackson and others who engage in this type of behavior should be ashamed of themselves.

  There are experiences of older sisters while out in field service will offer $2.00 for gas, because that is all they can contribute. The $2.00 may have made a difference between buying a meal or going without food.

  If you were undeniably anointed with holy spirit what would you do?

  so you have had some kind of supernatural revelation, a personal message from god and some miraculous sign that you have been personally chosen by the almighty, what would you do?.

  would you be the same as every other wt'ite, dragging yourself to the meetings, getting your 10 hours in each month, maybe pioneering?.

  listen!

  Geoffrey Jackson said in answer to this question during his testimony before the Royal Commission:

  http://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/downloadfile.ashx?guid=5d6d5636-001a-4e8e-84b2-2d8338ec25fa&type=transcriptpdf&filename=Transcript-(Day-155)&fileextension=pdf

  34 Q. Is it not the case that had Jesus been asked about
  

  35 a case of sexual abuse, he may have referred back to this

  36 part of Deuteronomy and said that it's not required to have

  37 two witnesses?

  Jackson:

  38 A. I certainly would like to ask Jesus that, and I can't

  39 at the moment, I hope to in the future. But that's

  40 a hypothetical question which, if we had an answer, then we

  41 could support what you said.

  
  How can Jackson be so sure he will Have an opportunity in the future to ask Jesus any questions after he dies? He does not know for sure what is going to happen to him when he dies. He may not wake up in a resurrection to heaven or earth. But, no one on this earth will be able to check it; no one will know what has happened to him when he dies. This is something he is probably counting on - that no one on earth will be able to verify what has happened to him. So, he can say he hopes to ask Jesus a question in the future, because he knows no human will be able to refute his claim.

  pray for brother jackson of the governing body!.

  in todays news from australia it appears that, despite his previous declination to appear when invited, justice mcclellan from the australian royal commission on child sex abuse will officially summon brother geoffrey jackson to the stand after all.. ..... the commission was due to conclude its hearings into the jehovahs witnesses on wednesday but justice mcclellan said he will now call geoffrey jackson, a senior member of the churchs governing body in new york who is currently in australia, to appear next week.. .

  I hope it happens, then feel a sick feeling that GJackson, GB member, will find some way out of it. Most people have been of the opinion that this will not happen.
  

  Even if it causes a problem for the Congregations, he needs to take the stand and provide an answer. He should not hide, and refuse to answer. Period.

  Hot Topic threads Pinned by a Moderator-Suggestion

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  threads that are a "hot topic" should have the option of being pinned by a moderator.

  those who are interested, can suggest to a moderator that the subject be pinned.

  if a "hot topic" is not pinned, it is lost within a few hours.. most will go to page 1 or 2 (not many more pages) to see the latest topics.. is having a subject pinned an option for this database?.

  To Simon, (off topic but relevant)

  This subject is very important. Is there a way to be able to keep such a topic on the forefront; without it getting lost?

  You have said that you do not want BTTT (Back To The Top) comments made in order to bring a subject back to the top.

  Many new threads are being created on the same subject (such as this one) just to bring it back to the top.

  This is not a criticism; just requesting help in this area.

  First, Petraglyph, thanks for the information. It is very informative.

  Those who respond, please try to be objective when you look at the breakdown of the chart provided by the Watchtower of the 1006 cases dating back to 1950.

  Link to document (if the insert is difficult to read, go to the link and view the pdf; document is near the bottom):

  Let me say from the start, child abuse is a heinous Crime. Anyone that would physically or sexually abuse a child, should be "PUT UNDER THE JAIL."

  Now, there are possibly thousands of you on this forum; some of you are from Australia. What if the Royal Commission had the "Teeth" to prosecute those whose names appear on the list of 1006 cases; dating back to 1950. It is possible that some of you on this forum would either recognize some of the names on the list, your name may be listed, or someone in your family. Or, ones who were just teenagers at the time, messing around, etc.

  Will it cause some to look over their shoulder?

  I hope this issue will be resolved and children will be protected now and into the future.
