  poopie : sing him a song: Lett it Be

  When I find myself in times of trouble
  Uncle Stephen comes to me
  Speaking words of wisdom, lett it be
  And in my hour of darkness
  He is standing right in front of me
  Speaking words of wisdom, lett it be
  
  Lett it be, lett it be
  Lett it be, lett it be
  Whisper words of wisdom, lett it be
  
  And when the broken-hearted people
  Living in the world agree
  There will be an answer, lett it be
  For though they may be parted
  There is still a chance that they will see
  There will be an answer, lett it be
  
  Lett it be, lett it be
  Lett it be, lett it be

  Do you believe Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body is the "faithful slave"?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.

  i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.

  a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!

  Shocking development from Australian Royal Commission

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is reported that elder kevin bowditch was so upset at the grilling he received at the arc that he has traveled to austin, texas to prepare for any future encounters with angus stewart.. we see from various stages of the interrogation his increasing anguish.

  he is reported as saying in private, '.. that's never going to happen again.

  i think i was hung up and left out to dry by the governing body.

  Page 43 of the Transcript :

  
  

  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?

  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.

  "Guardians of the doctrines"

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't help thinking that there is something essentially wrong with gj's new description of the role of the gibbering biddies as guardians of the doctrines..

  guardians immediately take on a role of authority, (dont ever forget who is in charge!

  ) guardians outside of the legal sense of adoptive parent has another resonance, it sounds like the inhuman bullies in some dystopian novel about oppressive religious politics.

  i used to visit this site about ten years ago.

  i haven't come her in a long time.

  i have just recently started talking to a family member who is leaving the jws and i wanted to know what are the best sites available these days for finding out all the topics of information - failed prophecy, 1975, rutherford's drinking, russells tombstone - you know all of that kind of stuff.. back in the day there used to be a site run by a norwegian i think called kent.

  The GB accepts questions about doctrine!

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i'm watching the interview with g-jack and he says that if a question comes up about doctrine, the gb have a meeting.

  so my question is this, who questions anything and how do they submit a question?

  he seems to painting some kind of "democracy" picture for the rc.. he also said that the 7 gb members can't possible know everything about doctrine...wtf???

  GB decisions are made by majority vote and sometimes this doesn’t happen because 1 or 2 consciences won’t allow it, so they leave the matter do research and come back to the matter. Often they have been misguided in choices they have made for everyone, but everyone has to follow it .

  What about the consciences of the flock who can’t abide by certain decisions they have made. So their consciences are more important than the flock and the flock must abide by their consciences?

  DD - don't waste good Scotch on this Jimmy !

  Lets have a laugh and a wee dram!

  GEOFFREY JACKSON THE PERSONABLE FACE OF JW.ORG...BUT IT AIN'T OVER YET BUDDY

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  since geoffrey jackson's appearance before the australian royal commission on friday there has for some been an expressed feeling of anticlimax.

  it is as though he was given too much latitude to preach, to claim ignorance and to skirt questions.

  more to the point, as much as i myself thought i would never have expected to say this, gj actually came across as likeable and - don't throttle me please!

  Hi Steve2 - I suppose we had certain expectations of a kinda thrust and execute - but if you see the comments elsewhere by umbertoecho regarding a response from the ARC received shortly after it ended and I think when you get to look at the Transcripts in depth a little later you will see the delusional man come very much to the fore -

  Hang in there friend !

  a rare moment in legal and theocratic history.

  pauline david, barrister and legal counsel for [bcg], had the opportunity to question and cross-examine, geoffrey jackson of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses (a.k.a.

  "faithful and discreet slave").never before has a woman had the privilege of challenging and questioning a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
