i came across this story in the washington post.
it's nice to see they are covering the royal commission.
i have a kindle, everyone who buys one gets free six month subscription (it automatically downloads twice a day) to the post , so i imagine this will get read by a lot of people.

now the the "flood gates" have been opened in australia with the very public findings of the rc, surely a savvy law firm will file a "class action" lawsuit against the wt in that country---right?.
imagine the possibilities and the payouts that could result!
it would very satisfying to see the construction work on as the new jw compounds halted due to lack of funds.

What an absolute treat to see these WT 'big wigs' in the borg get grilled by a REAL "judicial committee". At least the RC will not have to call the 'legal department' to make a decision!

anyone watching the inquiry would have heard the org's attorney asking that the documents outlining the stucture and mechanics of the wbts be kept confidential.
all this subversive and clandestine behavior is not helping their image.
what do you all suppose is potentially damnimg in these documents?
JW's are a very secretive organization. As a former elder for over 20 years, I can make that statement very truthfully as other former elders will confirm. We were told by a CO back in the 70's that the 'society' undoubtedly now knows when Armageddon will happen, but they keep it SECRET because they don't want to panic the 'brothers'. Stupid me, I believed him!

no doubt we noticed the royal commission ask vin toole (and i think terry o'brien) about the expression "theocratic warfare"?.
they were asked to explain it and what is meant to witnesses.. vin outrightly lied when he said he "had never heard of that expression!".
i remember him using that term in conversations and talks many times!!
Theocratic warfare indeed! This friggin org coins their own phrases to meet any occasion. Slogans/phrases are a big part of this org. "Stay alive till 75"--"Millions now living will never die" "Advertise, Advertise, Advertise" (the wtbts and it's bs) "Armageddon is just around the corner" etc.
Remember that 'god's friend' Abraham used theocratic warfare to lie to the Pharaoh and others about Sarah being his sister not his wife. So it must be ok! Must be nice to only have to tell the TRUTH when it's convenient or if you are 'god's friend'!

during yesterday's rc proceedings (wednesday 5th august 2015), one of the victim's lawyers questioned mr vincent toole, the jw organization's legal counsel for the australian branch office.
she asked him why at least two of the jw elders who gave evidence last week refused to swear on the bible.
mr toole appear puzzled by her question and said he did not know.
Just another fantastic example of how f**ked up this org is. The men in very high positions of responsibility don't know their own written policy. LOL! Stupidity abounds in this org. and what really haunts me is that I was part of it, having to call the 'legal department' before we could make a decision on child molesters! Holy s#*t! Are these guys in Australia calling the 'legal department' to find out if they can swear on the bible? When this is all finished, I hope that they are swearing AT the bible!

if you have heard g. jackson speak you can tell that he is smooth.
he is a good speaker with a commanding voice.
i think the gb knew this was going to happen and prepped him to testify.
Hell no GJ will not take the stand. He know what happened to his "brother" when he was 'hailed before the court' a couple of thousand years ago!

on listening to day 7 of the hearing i was amazed at the serious lack of knowledge in the bible, did anyone else notice this?
Sir82
The JWs view the Bible as a sort of "dictionary of proof texts".
You said it exactly the way it is Sir82. Even when I was a gong ho jw, I was always puzzled at how often the same core of about 75 scriptures appeared and reappeared in all the publications. They were quoted to support the doctrine of the wtbts not quoted to give insight or knowledge. "Proof texts" is what we called them, not bible texts. I had a Mormon guy tell me once that the witnesses use the same 75 scriptures about 80% of the time to support our teachings.
So although JW's may believe that "all scripture is inspired by god", they definitely believe that only 75 are "beneficial for teaching, for reproving, and for setting things straight".

years ago there was a thread about rumors that society was paying into a retirement fund for circuit overseers.
could any recent ex-bethelite confirm or deny.
here is the old thread:.
