It just seems that they are able to wiggle their way out every time. It gets tiring to see when they have such a huge amount of control on their members.

I'll turn my mood around and hope for the best!

New BBC article on JW abuse

by snare&racket in

jw
friends

is religion doing enough to root out abuse?.

he would go upstairs, on the premise that he was saying a prayer with his niece, then sexually abuse her.

mark sewell was sentenced to 14 years in prisonafterwards, the elders told her that as it was only her account against that of sewell, nothing more could be done.

But but but... There's a nice PR piece (most likely made by JW's) on everything they're doing for advancement in bloodless surgery...

Preparing for Friday's Feeding Frenzy

by Esse quam videri in

many hundreds and perhaps thousands of people, worldwide, are eagerly waiting for the questioning of geoffrey jackson at the australian royal commission on institutional response to child abuse.

this is the day that many have hungered for.

finally, a member of the governing body being questioned and compelled to make full disclosure, to the best of his knowledge, the very best of his knowledge.

I'm not excited for this. The dude is on a video link! If you don't think he'll have a bug in his ear with lawyers telling him what to say, you're mistaken.

I think this will turn out to be in the JW favor with him on the video link.

Can a religious organization indorse a product like that?

Worse yet, can it "profit" off of the sales sold to each of it's members?

I have a feeling the IRS may say otherwise...

I wish Geoffrey Jackson wasn't being questioned at all vs a video link...

by thedepressedsoul in

i'd rather them not even question him at this point.

by allowing a video link, they put the ball 100% in his court.

i don't get what they expect to accomplish by having a video link only.. 2. he won't feel any pressure.

2. He won't feel any pressure. He's not in the hot seat. He's miles away when he gives an answer. I think this alone is a huge advantage for the JW side.

3. Video link is not on the live stream. We'll never see it, the world will never see it.

What the say is true, the one with the money, makes the rules and wins....

My guess, these devices are going to be used for more than JW Broadcasting in the future. Live events, Meetings, Annual meetings, etc...

This is just the tip of the ice berg for the streaming.

I can see the friends now, "We are so ahead of the times! These devices can be used to link us with the GB when they ban us meeting at the KM! This must be why they canceled Tuesday night meetings!"
