Pauline David - barrister and legal counsel for [BCG] - Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission into Jehovah's Witnesses

by jwleaks in

a rare moment in legal and theocratic history.

pauline david, barrister and legal counsel for [bcg], had the opportunity to question and cross-examine, geoffrey jackson of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses (a.k.a.

"faithful and discreet slave").never before has a woman had the privilege of challenging and questioning a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

Phone call straight after the Royal Commission

by umbertoecho in

straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.

it was one of the people who are working on it.

firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.

The FACT that each WTS rep all the way to top and also including their 'expert' *hack* witness Dr Applewhite didn't find the time to read the transcripts or be bothered by any of the proceedings in general.

I stand that they believe Armageddon is 'very soon' and this is just a small bump in the road that they can look back on with laughter.

Surprise!!

Exposing one's identity. When?

by kairos in

jw
friends

i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

( "reaching out", so to speak ).

i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

Thanks for the encouragement.

It's interesting, the written vs spoken word.

For example, just reading the transcript of the ARC conveys a very different understanding compared to listening to the people speak with inflections and what-not. ( pauses, stutters, facial expressions, etc )

Good observations. I am mad. I now have the courage to stand up for what is right for ME and MY WIFE.

I'm a fairly even keeled fellow. Don't get overly excited about much and anger is very rare. As mentioned prior, my wife's relatives have never seen me mad before, so me with both my apostate barrel firing was probably pretty scary. So be it, I have emotions, too!!

I hope sharing this experience, the way I have handled this small portion of my life along with it's successes and mistakes, will help someone in a similar situation. At least show that standing up for yourself by your own rules is possible. And empowering.

Any speculation on what will happen next?

Another jolly-fun day today!

I missed a call from, yes, another elder and his message inviting me to meet with them/him to "deal with this problem we have become aware of."

SCREW THAT!!

I took swift action today with the help of the Napa County Sheriff's Dept.
Deputy immediately ( 15 mins ) came to my home and I explained the situation clearly with him and let him listen to the elder's phone message. Probably helped that I had each call documented and each elder's name, address and phone number!

Of note, the elders only call me on my business cell phone during the work day.

HE called the elder and firmly told him to stop contacting me or they will be found in violation of penal code 653m ( repeated annoying and harassing phone calls ). He explained that no formal legal complaint has been filed, but there is case file with all of the information. He then warned them that legal action is the next step.

Then he tried to call two more elders...

Left a message for one ( from my phone ) and the other line was busy.

I thanked him for his help to me today and his service in the community.

I feel pretty good right now, friends.
Protect your fade!!

Let's all stand and sing song number...

Oooops

Is Jackson embarrassed to be a JW?

by Doubting Bro in

jw
friends

i listened to the majority of jackson's part one testimony and it seems apparent to me that he either:1) is embarrassed to be a jw or 2) doesn't really believe.

i've heard countless times from the platform and in print that we should be proud to be jws and take every opportunity to defend our beliefs.

yet, it seems jackson didn't even want to admit that he believed he was being directly used by jehovah to lead the congregation as his spokesman.

They are trying to get through it, as Armageddon is soon and Jehovah will destroy the Royal Commission along with all of the other governments of the world that are 'touching his eyeball'...
