hello again.. splash had a pile of scriptural evidence which he uploaded and it was good material.
it established the gb as the fds and used watchtower study articles.........i don't know if he was the only one but the material flew in the face of what those men have been saying.
it proves, using their own material how they indeed think they are the ones with the direct control over millions of lives, because as you know.........they are the direct hot line to god.
Here is a recent thread that has links to the Charter documents:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/335940001/watchtower-charter-danger-gb
I would like to see the Commission sink their teeth into the "annointed status" and then, who the actual members of the Watchtower Society are. These jokers get away with the claim that "we are just Jehovah's Witnesses" when some have that elite membership into the Society itself. Society membership has an elevated status.

The Watchtower Society Charter might be useful. The charter sets out the lines of authority. the WTS might try to claim scriptual lines of authority, but the legal parameters are bound by corporate law, I would think.
Now that the Royal Commission has moved up the corporate ladder, the NY documents should apply.
if you have heard g. jackson speak you can tell that he is smooth.
he is a good speaker with a commanding voice.
i think the gb knew this was going to happen and prepped him to testify.
3rdgen: a believer would argue that Jesus knew what he was singing up for when he accepted the Messiah gig. It was in the job description. I think he got the memo at baptism. Whereas, the others were pretty much blindsided.
Well, the GB shouldn't be blindsided. Doesn't "martyr" come with their job description?
I would think that their annointed status would qualify them for advance warning. After all, they claim to rub shoulders with Jesus. They say they are going to rule with him.

girlnextdoor: Would like to see him get the 6 months in jail instead.
In general population. Just let it be known around the prison that he is in there because of protecting child molestors.
in russia, the jehovah's witnesses are viewed as a extremist, totalitarian cult that speads hate literature.
the russians see the jehovah's witnesses as a threat to the family, a corporate culture in its worst form.

DataDog: I'm no fan of totalitarian regimes, but Russia is being a tad hypocritical here.
Russia has a history of being a totalitarian state under the Soviets.
They are no longer a Communist country.

i would think the only christian organization on this planet would be more than willingly send another gb member to australia in order to answer rcs questions, taking the place of jackson who is taking care of his ill farther.
.
if someone should show compassion to jackson those are his gb pals.
Joe: If they were willing to for fit $12 mill and be thrown out of court in order for Losch not to take the stand there is no way in hell ol Jeffers is going to take the stand either.
I think that redress amounts in Australia for the JW victims are going to exceed that amount by quite a bit.
If each victim gets only $100,000, the WTS share for 1500 victims (which is not unreasonable - many will come forward or be revealed, and there are multiple victims in many of the cases), that would work out to a $150 million claim against the WTS. That amount is low. It will probably be higher.
I believe the $100,000 claim per victim to be reasonable based on the payouts established for Residential School Survivors in Canada. And that doesn't account for what civil cases will award to victims.

3rdgen: Jehovah is a god of unpredictability. Sometimes he shoes up. Sometimes he's off doin' other God stuff. Remember the fates of Isiah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Stephen and some Christians who the lions thought were delicious? Geoffery, do ya feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?
Lol! True that.
Hell, you forgot the biggest one of all. Look what Jehoovah did to that sweet little baby Jesus. He let him grow up and then watched him get nailed to a stick. All bloody and stuff by the time he was dead. Not a very nice daddy, is he? And, he liked Jesus.
It is time to face the lions, methinks. Let's see if Jackson has the courage to do so or if he will run.
anyone watching the inquiry would have heard the org's attorney asking that the documents outlining the stucture and mechanics of the wbts be kept confidential.
all this subversive and clandestine behavior is not helping their image.
what do you all suppose is potentially damnimg in these documents?
SSClass: What do you all suppose is potentially damnimg in these documents? Do you think that awesome judge (I want to hug him) will find premise to have the documents in their entirety made public? I hope so!
One of the points that the WT lawyer wants to supress is the information regarding the finances of the "publisihing department". He is trying to make the claim that the finances of the publishing department are not pertinent to the proceedings at hand.
However, Justice McClelland will be reviewing the documents before it is decided if the entire document will be published. I have a sense that financial information of any kind is very relevant - that is what this Commission is doing - establishing restitutional guidelines. Where the WTS spends money should have bearing on their ability to pay for victim recovery and support.
I am hopeful that Justice McClelland will view financial information as relevant and therefore admissable. I am curious as to how that financial information lines up with the financial statement submitted to the Commission by the WT Branch.

Heaven: Once again, things aren't adding up here.
Hmmm....maybe Jackson actually does get his instructions from a higher power?
Could he be under orders to appear in order to protect "Jehovah's name"? Which begs the question...by the way...what really is "Jehovah's" name?
