    Royal commission examines Jehovah Witnesses cover-up

    NewsAug 1, 2015


    Martin McKenzie-Murray

    The Jehovah’s Witnesses’ fiercely literal reading of the Bible has distanced them from the law and politics, but the royal commission into child sexual abuse is ending that.

    It seems the only ones who fail to recognize the idiocy of the WT's policies and culture are JWs themselves.

    Fantastic article, who is this guy - he has nailed the whole set up. Mean who demand respect but are too feable minded to answer basic questions- bang on! They proudly state they nothing about the work of the Royal Commission, not because they can't be bothered to inform themselves but because they fear the Governing Body will consider it too close to an involvement in 'worldly affairs and govt agencies'

    The Governing Body are too cowardly to admit responsibility, common humanity is abandoned in the quest to promote THE FICTION THAT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARE ORGANIZED BY HOLY SPIRIT AND IS GOD'S OWN SOCIETY.

    Thank you, Barbara. Keep up the good work!!

    This article needs to be bumped to the top for the next few weeks, at least.

    I'd hate to repeat this on different threads to the point of spamming but let me make this suggestion on this thread. We should post links to the trial's video on the JW Facebook page. It should be prefaced with a statement saying that the JW witnesses are doing a fantastic job of defending themselves. That might encourage them to watch the video and then...

    Thank you Barbara.

    Gormless is the absolute perfect definition of that person. Any bit of individuality, intelligent thought and integrity and have been sucked out of him by the Borg, leaving an empty husk of a man, who can only respond to questions with Watchtower double speak.
