Parting Letter
by Konagirl in

2. beliefs
a friend of mine was compelled to reach out to as many members as possible in her congregation, by sending them the following letter that i would like to share.. to my brothers and sisters,.

i’m sure you’ve realised by now that something isn’t quite right with me as i haven’t been around in months.

the truth is i have been going through a crisis and the last few months have been the hardest time of my life.

Thank you as always Atlantis.
And yet, here in Australia it is ok for the rank and file to attend meetings unvaccinated.
And sit in poorly ventilated halls for up to two hours plus
The tower hypocrisy continues to rear its ugly head, for those astute enough to see it.
Best regards to all of the crew Atlantis and special hugs to Petra, wishing all the best
for Christmas.. AND the new year...

Had the Walmart killer studied with Dubs?
by BONEZZ in
1. jw
2. friends
after reading his "manifesto" it seemed like he may have been influenced.

things like being "unevenly yoked", etc.

i know other religions may talk about that but dubbies seem to harp on it more.

Edit,,,
I've removed my post as I got the Walmart and Club Q killers mixed up.
The Club Q killers' father claims to be a Mormon.

Wow what a comprehensive list Sea Breeze.
And every item you note is how it was as we grew (were dragged) up in da troof.
And here in Australia, not allowed to stand for the national anthem at the movies in the early sixties.
I was castigated at school for not saluting the flag every Monday morning.
Then was made to stand in the corner of every class until i peed myself as I was not allowed out of the
classroom.
Reminds me of a song by "Madness" "Baggy trousers" 'Oh what fun we had, but did it really turn out bad'
Turned out good coz we woke up and left ha ha

hi folks.. just another case to prove that the tower organisation has creeps that other organisations do.. they are not special or chosen by god.

i wonder if it will make mainstream new here in oz.

i will paste some of the article in a few minutes.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahukewi1qogytuv5ahutsmwghv69ab0qfnoecaoqaq&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.portstephensexaminer.com.au%2fstory%2f7880595%2fqld-parishioner-charged-with-rape-torture%2f%3fcs%3d7&usg=aovvaw3yd9rimx8sarai1vnbehev.

Its behind a paywall.
To summarize ; On the 28th October the Magistrate granted more time for the police to investigate and prepare a complete brief of evidence.
Apparently the lawyer of the accused is not happy. The Lawyers name is Kelvin Pearson.
The accused was granted bail in the supreme court of Brisbane as reported by the abc news on the 13th of October this month. I will try to post a link to that story.

"senior jehovah’s witnesses member charged with rape, torture and assault of teenage boys...".

the 61 year-old man "faces 21 counts of rape, 17 counts of sexual assault, 13 counts of procuring sexual acts by false pretence and one count each of incest, torture and common assault.".
jonahstourguide

The local witnesses do know who he is as i stated but are tight-lipped when quizzed about his identity.
I guess we will have to wait till the 28th of October to understand the timelines
and resultant charges.

Hi folks,
The only intel that i have heard from a local is that he is not currently an elder.
Local witnesses that do know who the accused is, are tight-lipped and will not speak about the matter.
The interesting point in my opinion, is how the elders that 'dealt' with the matter originally now feel
about not notifying the police then.
I guess we will just have to wait till the court hearing in October to hear the full story according
to the police and any others that come forward in the matter.

Just received this info from an associate in Qld
Word on the street.
The accused has a Greek and Canadian passport. Went from Greece to Canada before settling in Australia.
Known as a wealthy, influential jw
The units he owns are rented by jws.
Elders are rallying around him and supporters are claiming 'apostate lies'.
The police are currently, after scrutinizing his devices, preparing more charges for his next hearing due in October I'm told.
