  pretty obvious, we've deforested the planet so much it cant clean the air, we've polluted the water so much its not fit to drink, we've poisoned the soil so much it cant grow food, we use so many chemicals, its killing off the insects who pollinate.

  so while on post on this site claims the end of freedom for mankind, by way of evil governments, .

  I seem to recall you, DJS, making a claim recently, that you do not engage in name-calling.

  What is this? A compliment?

  YMCA ? Are we allowed to go there or not?

  half of our congregation goes there to work out because of the good pool facilities and prices, and the other half think that it's wrong due to it's old charter.

  but no one is enforcing the wrong or right of it.

  i'd be interested in knowing how this is being applied worldwide.

  I remember, back in the day, they whispered that is where the homosexuals gathered! The locker rooms were full of them. *rolls eyes* Satan and his deemunz, of course, love that.

  Impact of the Royal Commission of Inquiry on JW policies and procedures

  by steve2 in

  the royal commission is not yet over.

  the summary of findings on jws is not the end of the story.

  the legal process is unfolding and the only open question is the extent to which jw organization in australia will be legally mandated to change its policies and procedures on child sexual abuse.. (on the question of shunning those who leave, the commission is well intended but has strayed beyond its legal brief.

  I think that Steven Unthank created an awareness that 'something is not right about those JWS', and the ARC came in with perfect timing. It's my understanding as well, that Australian folk are outspoken and would not try to cover this type of thing up - religion doesn't have the stranglehold on governments 'down-under', or in any of the Commonwealth nations, that it has in the USA.

  When reading the Submission, I felt the Commission found it deeply disturbing that the victim was forced to testify in the presence of her (or his) rapist, and three other men! with NO support permitted. All people are disgusted by this - and the ones I have told over the years, were outraged. It's chilling, truly chilling.

  Thanks for posting some highlights.

  so my best friend, who also happens to be my brother-in-law, was reinstated last night.

  i had an idea he was trying to make his way back to the cult since i had been texting and calling him for about 2, 3 months now and no response.

  i wasn't shocked when he text me this morning to tell me the news.
