Australian Bethel propose building a media complex

by Listener in

there's a post on exjw reddit stating that the ibsa are planning on building a media operation at the sydney bethel.. the estimated cost is $10 million aud and this in spite of the fact that they still have not joined the redress scheme or attempted in any monetary way of assisting abused victims within the organization.. the link below includes detailed plans.

they will be converting part of the current printery into a media complex.. they also propose to build a theme park in the form of a historical biblical site, including a man made mound and what one person suggests is a temple.. its not surprising that a bunch of old men in new york has dreamed all of this up - film sets in new york, england and now australia.

they are bonkers but it's a novel way of getting money from their followers.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ernz3y/new_media_centre_at_the_australian_sydney_bethel/.compact.

YES.

They are encouraging the 'younger genre' to stick around.

Here in Melbourne they have been running video auditions to put into the 'availability' database for possible use in video presentations produced here in Australia at the new you beaut complex.

Should see the up and coming piousneers and rank and file asslickers lining up to curry favour. It's sickening to hear about.

Nepotism is rampant from what i'm hearing......

Circuit overseers and ladder climbing piousneer elders that have neglected or dumped parents in nursing homes leading the charge.

Vomitville.

The sky is falling- maybe

by joey jojo in

i am actually not a 'sky is falling' guy, but i wanted to comment on the australian bushfires.. you may or may not believe the science behind global warming, however i personally put more faith in verified, scientific data than the words of fat cat, self-serving politicians.

climate science has predicted, based on data, that we will see more prolonged, extreme weather events, higher average temperatures, rising sea levels due to ocean expansion and glacial melting.

and this is exactly whats happening.

jonahstourguide

Well joey jojo.

Excellent post. The social issues will be a reality in the very near future.... Like now!?

I live app 300 k's west of Bairnsdale and am looking at the sun through an orange smoke haze.

Haven't seen that for 65 years.

I'm wondering about the lack of preventative back-burning and fire-break management that the greenies seemed to object to.

I dunno but its scary no matter what hym book you sing out of.

147th Gilead prt. 3 - this could stumble people

by neat blue dog in

during gerrit loesch's talk just released, he goes on a long list of the false end times predictions throughout the millennia.

i didn't expect it, but then he goes into the precursors to the bible students who, when their dates failed, changed christ's presence to have happened 'invisibly'.

then it goes right into the jws, and he reads the quote from millions now living will never die about how we can 'confidently expect' the resurrection in 1925, and then the life everlasting book that predicted 1975. of course, he doesn't say how it's still going on, namely with the overlapping generation and its' accompanying convoluted chart, but still, this is more than they've ever said on the subject, especially recently.. it almost sounds like a forced statement, to address any backlash from people reading 'apostate lies' online, because he also says how the gb 'humbly' admitted mistakes, referencing the non-apology after 1975 that disturbed raymond franz.

Well. I've just watched it. It is serious damage control and admission that they are in fact full of excrement.

Loesch is reading word for word off what I would call a legal document as directed.

I was there in 1968 and the end was round the corner...... I call bullshit on the whole corporation.

Have a great new year folks

Australian Royal Commission into Child Abuse Annual Reporting

by Listener in

jw leaks (steven unthank) has listed on his website two annual reports that the austrailan bethel were required to lodge.

interestingly, they were one of only 11 organizations required to do so.there are a few interesting claims that the watchtower makes, this is from the 2019 report that they wrote -.

5. when elders learn of an accusation of child abuse, they immediately consult with the branch office of jehovah’s witnesses to ensure compliance with child abuse reporting laws.

jonahstourguide

Listener,,,,, The privileged women have access to all the stuff their connected husbands do.

As do elders wives.

And yes they do not care for people, they only care for their position in the pecking order.

I am also in contact with a co's wife and bethelite wife who can both pretty much quote the shepherding manual verbatim. And they use it to help their family and friends escape exclusion using technicalities.... It's an eye opener mate, I give you the drum.

Sounds like damage control to me. I have been trying to free my friends and they are aware of the failed stuff and are questioning the validity of the faithful slave claim.

This will drive it home to a degree. It's not apostate, it's truth that needs to be 'Heralded',,,, to coin an old phrase

I have met the bitch that helped write this reply to the Royal Commission. She used to be a journalist.

A wife of a prominent SKE instructor and current c.o. And bludgeing off free accommodation in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

She goes around the countryside gloating how they refuted the Royal Commission for jehovah.

Makes me puke every time i see them ...... fuking arseholes.

I did get the opportunity to pull her up on some of her bullshit and have now been marked.... fuk them, syphilitic pricks, both and all of them.

The White Rose - written by Ex Hitler Youths

by days of future passed in

there wasn't a place to really peg this so i just picked this area to post.. one of the interests i have is fossils and finding things in the ground.

i stumbled onto a lady that does mudlarking in england.

it's amazing what is found by the river - some very old coins, bottles, pottery, smoking pipes etc.

jonahstourguide

My mother often spoke about the hitler jugend when recalling her war time stories.

I think the movie 'Sound Of Music' references them also.
