half banana said: They do not take human needs seriously.
Well said hb. I really do not think Botchtower actually knows what encompasses all human needs. They clearly demonstrate an ass-backward model in that they place spirituality above all other needs which is utterly ridiculous and untrue.

ut said: Ah! Heaven. Don't you know that all of them were repentant? Of course they were.
My sister said so and she has a direct line to the Guvnor through the GB( Greedy Bastards)
ut said: Plus Heaven, may I remind you of how progressive they are with regard to degrading sexual practices........Not too long ago, a JW wife could not divorce her husband for beastiality because they were pretty sure that no half human half dog, cat, chook or horse would be born of this unholy alliance.
Then one day....they saw it was "not good". And they changed their minds........I think.
You are so lacking in faith for these " holy beyond holiness of these spirit appointed men" to guide you through the Great Tribulation and the big A. Where..... you too can have a dog, cat, badger or sit on a pit of friendly snakes............
ut, their MO is to produce nu-lite. It wouldn't surprise me if they have a yearly metric on how many nu-lites they have to come out with. And... of course I wouldn't follow them. Their delusional.
much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.
her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.
astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.
The real issue is are the published policies actually working? And is the organization REALLY protecting victims? I think over 1,000 known abusers since 1950 without one ever being reported to the appropriate authorities shows they are not. I see this as the bottom line goal of the RC's inquiry and I applaud it.
If Applewhite knew of abuse cases I think she should have made a simple phone call to the police to see if there were any cases open with them and what the results were or what status the case was in (if they are at liberty to discuss that). If there were no open cases, I think it is her duty to inform the police that she has received information about cases and did they want that info. To me THAT is the proof in the pudding. That's what I would do. Doesn't sound like that is something she's ever done.
So far I'd have to say that Botchtower's words are substanceless. You can say whatever you want but if your behaviours don't mirror your words, then the words are meaningless and really, lies.
i read it but it certainly didn't apply to me.
nobody stumbled me or hurt my feelings.
i just know crap when i see it.
Dagney... I always wondered why my folks never had the JWs over to their house for dinner or get togethers. I think I know why now. I think my parents knew there were issues but didn't know how to deal with it all.
For some odd reason, punky, your image is making me think of this clip from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding":
hello to all who are watching.
his honour is being tested by wt lawyer in the last thirty minutes of day 4. the lawyer wants to bring in updates on the societies handling of child molestation cases.. his honour tells the lawyer that if he "lawyer" wants a contest between who is better than who....forget it.. his honour is slightly pissed off as wt lawyer just won't back down and insists that this evidence is very important and........"progressive" ( i think ) his honour then continues to tell nice wt jerk type lawyer, that if he thinks this will dispel all that happened to past victims..........think again.. i rough summary but fairly accurate people......god, that wt lawyer is a hateful lying, scheming son of a bitch........
You go umbertoe... these JW lawyers need to be told. They act like they're above it all.
Applewhite has some more work to do and she's gonna have to re-arrange her schedule to do so.

Thanks for these guys. Wow... just ... wow. Again, I am so embarrassed that my grandfather and parents got sucked into the JWs and that some of my family are still in.
Over a thousand abusers... and NOT ONE was reported to the authorities. WTF?!
to all bodies of elders.

dear brothers :.
Mad Sweeney said: Now the entire book is part of public record and can be freely downloaded from the Royal Commission's site.
BAM!
Of course, we had it long before that.

re: spiral binding of shepherding textbook.
dear brothers :.
Yes, definitely Mad Sweeney. This book is to be kept secret. Outside companies, unbelievers or sisters are not permitted to this work.
Guess that's null and void now.
I think this letter should be posted on the website that has the hearing about this particular elduh's book.
edited to add: I wonder how the ordinary JW is going to feel knowing a Catholic-of Satan's Christendom, worldly, woman has seen this book and they haven't. Seems the lowly publisher has just dropped below that of a Catholic person in importance. Hmmm...
i am shocked that an expert would simply examine only the literature given to her by the organisation she was defending and simply accept it.
also the ease she has in making huge sweeping statements when comparing the jw's to all other international religious organisations simply undermines her professionalism.. i am also thoroughly shocked at her blatant, 'expert for hire', 'will defend anyone' apparent decision making, the organisation is responsible for covering up thousands of abuse victims by its own records, in australia alone!
never mind their judicial process being heartless and traumatic!.
Let me get this straight...She (a catholic, worldly woman) has had access to the elder's book and other confidential material.
...Let that sink in.
