  Room 215

  Celebrating your first Christmas in decades -- or ever? Faders, you've nothing to fear from Geoff Jackson!

  From the Royal Commission transcript:

  ARC: "So, for example, if they (a JW) had become inactive or sought to fade without formally disassociating, and the elders came to visit and found them celebrating Christmas or a birthday, they would be found to be in transgression of the rules, would they not?"

  GJ: "That is not my understanding. But again, as I said, it is not my field, that goes into policy with regard to those types of things, but from my personal experience, that's not the case."

  So: Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly to your heart's content, backsliders!

  Yes, I picked up on that classic during the royal commission!

  Yet another example of "double speak" (or lies told to outsiders)

  Lying and extreme hypocrisy from Jackson.

  Evidently, Jack-ass also used Theocratic Warfare in his ARC testimony. Quelle surprise.... not.

  Christmases and birthdays are now "dissasociating" actions, like accepting a transfusion or "whistleblowing".

  I've said this before, but at the rate they're changing those rules, the number of DAing actions is going to exceed the DFing ones before too long.

  There's be JWs who've even unknowingly DAed themselves.

  JW's who unknowingly DA'ing themselves will probably be a lot more than one can realize. By observing Xmas and/or Birthdays.

  Just as well, living one's life on such a ''knife edge'' can cause any such sane person to insanity. Losing one's family for such a stupid minor infraction like that, makes a person wonder how can it be the ''truth''??????
