governing body of jehovah's witnesses meet to consider replacement for recently retired member geoffrey jackson.. .
.
Not surprisingly, Tony The Turd is seated at the head of the conference table.
Presumptuous narcissistic douche bag.
first off, i don't think that dude is going to show face.
he's most likely on a plane already.
if he shows it's bad pr and if he doesn't show it's bad pr.
First off, I don't think that dude is going to show face. He's most likely on a plane already. If he shows it's bad PR and if he doesn't show it's bad PR. They'll choose whichever give the least amount of bad press.
I do however, find it odd that he just so happens to show up in Australia for his sick father right when this starts to happen. My guess, he is coaching everything behind the scenes and the FDS wanted a GB member there to make sure everything was being handled as best as possible and to report back to the others right away. The father is a great reason to try and get out of appearing, just like their lawyer attempted to do. He's most likely be behind the scenes attempting to help since the beginning.
Let's pretend he does show though, how do you think he'll handle it? Will he try and speak with authority like they do in their talks. Talking down to people and slapping them over the head with the bible? Or will he be very sheepish and be at a loss for words? My guess is he's going to try to come of with authority in the beginning, using the bible to make an answer whenever possible. Towards the end though, they will corner him and their true colors will come out, he will be at a loss for words. They've never been on the receiving end of a "judicial committee".
I don't think he's going to show though, I'd be very surprised if he does. If he doesn't show, it will give the impression to the commissioner that they don't take this seriously and that they are trying to wiggle out of this whole thing without caring about the kids. Either way, I don't see this ending nicely.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
i have been following the events taken place in australia and i cannot help but notice that the jw's are feeding them a bunch of bull.
it reminds me of the faq on jw.org.
we all know there is a very different internal view/teaching than the jw.org faq would lead you to believe.

For instance, they are trying to hide behind that the GB are not at the top and would be of no assistance in this case. Any inside member knows that the GB are the closest thing to Jesus as you can get in their eyes. They make all of the rules, writings and teachings. They also are behind all of the procedures! Yet, JW laywers are down playing their role and are making it sound like they are not behind any of this.
Their lawyers may say they don't discourage from reporting to the police but every internal JW knows it is highly looked down upon for anyone to go to the police for justice vs the organization.
There are so many internal rules it makes me sick! I also find it interesting that a lot of their "new light" recently, they are trying to use it as a mean of protection. The co appointing elders, chain of command, etc...
My question is, does the commission know that there is a completely different set of rules for internal members then they make the public and the commissioner believe? If not, I feel this is our biggest duty, to make them aware things are very different on the inside than they'd like them to believe.
you can refer to me as a still in mole.
anyway, i've been getting texts from jw's about the australia news.
the general census is that the jw's are very, very confused.

Even though this is happening in Australia, this is a US religion we are talking about. I think that is why it is getting attention in the US.
JW's have had child molestation issues in the US and is a US based and run religion. I think that's why it's showing up in news over here vs most of the world.
It's begun my friends!

I haven't heard anything yet from the JWs I know. One of them being my wife. In order for most JWs I know to see this it needs to be on the front webpage of MSN, CNN or be a segment on Good Morning America or Today show. If it makes one of those outlets a majority of witnesses will see it.
That's the thing, a lot have seen it on channels like CNN. Don't be surprised if most are just afraid to bring it up or tell others.

If you don't mind me asking, which country are you in?
I'm in the US, that's as much detail as I'll give :). There are even pictures going around that JW's are taking with their phones and sending them to fellow JW friends asking what is going on.
I think this is bigger and having more of an impact then we all think. I've been getting the average JW thoughts for the last two years. I'm not the type that plants seeds of doubt, I'm the type that pokes and see's what they truly feel.
One thing I've learned, JW aren't as "blind" or "dumb" as we think on this board. A lot of them have doubts and are confused. You can only get them to say it though when it's one on one and you get them to let their guard down.

Anyway, I've been getting texts from JW's about the Australia news. The general census is that the JW's are very, very confused. The news is all over the place, JW's are seeing this. It's not like in the past where there wasn't much media coverage.
They honestly don't know how to make sense of it. Some are using the words like, "That's gross" or "I'm going to have to hear this from my work mates, how do I explain it?". They are shocked by the numbers. If it were one or two, they could brush it off as a misunderstanding. But over 1,000? Their WT brains are exploding.
I've had a few even say that this is the same thing that happened to the Catholic church!
Trust me guys, this one isn't escaping the notice of JW's. The news is everywhere. They're going to have to address this or try to spin this very soon because the JW's are going nuts with confusion!
i'm finding it more and more funny how every wt article for the public or congregation, including jw broadcast talks about all this "growth" and how fast jehovha's organization is speeding up!
yet everything behind closed doors, insider information, elder letters and sales paint a very different picture.
i have news for you gb members!
I think you guys give the WT too much credit and put them up higher and smarter then they are.
I think they were dumb with their money and operated using most of it.
i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.
currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.
any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.
bohm4 minutes agoMy god follow the prophet!
any other news from the chrystal Ball?
The end is coming in 1914, crap I mean 1975, shit I mean 2014 (100 years), wait wait 2025.... Very soon....
