Australian Royal Commission Findings released

by Mephis in

will just post the general findings by counsel for the commission (angus stewart) - case specific ones are prior to them.

in short, absolutely damning.. not been through every submission myself yet.

available for download here: http://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/case-study/636f01a5-50db-4b59-a35e-a24ae07fb0ad/case-study-29,-july-2015,-sydney.aspx.

Jehovah's earthly organization has fu...ked up badly..what's Jehovah going to do about it? Answer .... Nothing zilch this so called loving God concept in the minds of the jw wtbts hierarchy is the mythical drivel which has led to the suffering and misery of many many innocents as well as those related. Jw lurkers and those who are awakening to the methods of these charlatans take comfort that we have investigations such as the ARC . .Hopefully the UK investigations into child abuse will be as thorough.

I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

by cofty in

listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

galaxie

Hi cofty ..you mention the 'sound ' of the word, I wonder if there is a significance. Is your abhorrence / reaction the same if you see it in print ?

Best wishes.

Being interviewed by police tomorrow

by moley in

well tomorrow is a big day for me.

i'm finally going to be interviewed by the police about what happened to me as a kid.. im running the whole gamut of emotions at the moment.

sad, anxious, angry, guilt, fear and many more that cannot be quantified.. i feel physically sick, cannot sleep, have lost my appetite and i am desperately trying not to self harm.. i've got my sister to thank for getting this far.

Wishing you a positive outcome...time to gather your inner strength, let your sisters courage and resolve give you determination.

red flag to a bull those carts can't resist !

by possum in

jw
friends

went to a market yesterday and there it was a cart manned by a middle-aged women and a young one.

in a really respectful, friendly manner i approached them and enquired if watchtower society had done anything about its "two witness policy" post royal commission.

knew nothing of 2 witness rule.

galaxie

Hi possum..I too had a trolley/cart conversation a couple of days ago. I approached the subject of the gb member (Jackson ) at the Australian enquiry into child abuse issues, the 'brother' denied all knowledge of it. My point was concerning his statement (jackson) that it would be presumptuous of him to claim the gb /faithful slave was gods channel of communication for the 'domestics'. Now at this point the brother starts to lecture me about being humble!! This retort is his way of gaining the upper hand by intimating that my 'proud attitude' ie asking pertinent questions is not to his liking. I find this immediately sets up a tension and frustration in the conversation because he has formed a barrier . He than goes on with an illustration about a ship steering in the fog and veering of course but eventually as the fog clears the ship gets back on course Aaaaaaaargh its really hard to keep your composure. I then asked him if there was any new light concerning the length of 'creative days' he stumbled about mumbling and said " I'll have to get back to you on that"?meanwhile he offers me a bible teach book which I did accept, not to be discourteous . Trolley/cart conversations can be a hit or miss affair and most times I feel I leave them with a good helping of ttatt and a seed planted which may one day see them free of the mind shackles which ensnare them.

Best wishes.

Belief in God Can Be Turned Off Like a Light Switch

by cofty in

researchers in york used magnetic stimulation to target an area of the brain called the medial frontal cortex in a group of volunteers.

a control group received a sham treatment.. both groups were asked to think about death.

the group who experienced the magnetic energy reported 32.8% less belief in angels, god and heaven.. when faced with difficult challenges people often take refuge in ideology.

The affected remote influence on the brain, contra the normal neuro conscious reasoning are ' poles apart ' .

Cult or Religion

by Richard C B in

what is a cult and what is a religion?

its open to debate.

who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?

galaxie

A decision based on a balanced judgement on the percentage scale should answer the question as to whether the jws are a cult:... judged against a religion which encourages personal opinion, open and free discussion, non judgemental, no sanction or consequential action if you decide to stop association, gives help and assistance to others for no personal gain, does not demand obedience to a figurehead be it an individual or composite which claims the right via supernatural means to exist....verses the jws who are the exact opposite of the former, which one bears the mark of a cult?

Jw apologists think carefully do not be fooled too many people have been emotionally scarred been left abandoned and have died because of these hypocrites and charlatans !!

stocks & shares

by Sabin in

i just thought of something the wt is allowed to take a gamble with all our contrabutions on the stocks & shares market, but don't you buy a lottery ticket or we will disfellowship you.

you f...ing gambling sinner you.

who now plays lottery?

galaxie

gambling and greed aside.. the ethics , aims and practices of the companies in which the wtbts have a financial interest, are the very same practices which have been outlined in the watchtower and other jw publications as.. going against jehovahs direction in which 'he' wishes his followers to abide by.

They are hypocrites of the highest order. Most jws are as blinkered horses being led down the garden path.

Officials in Remote Northern Canada Thank Jehovah’s Witnesses for Special Bible Education Campaign

by OrphanCrow in

this article was published by the wts on their website.. i find this jw practice of targeting vulnerable populations to be so disturbing.

the last thing that canadian aboriginal communities need is yet another institution that victimizes their members.. http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/canada/inuit-bible-education-northern-canada/.

officials in remote northern canada thank jehovahs witnesses for special bible education campaign.

galaxie

The human condition of vulnerability has unfortunately given the jws access to most of their adherants... they are masters at the art of comforting deception. I hope your e mails have the desired outcome before anyone else is duped by this organisation of charlatans .
