Australian Royal Commission question looking back
by Aussie Oz in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
after all the attention the royal commission focused on the wt and the damning report that came out, has anything changed at the congregational level or to wt policy?.

i am getting the sense from what i have found that really it accomplished little more than embarrassing the wt and upsetting the jws for a while.. am i wrong in that thought?.

Dear Chichi89

it looks like you are in the first stages of waking up.. you have been shocked to the core by getting disfellowshipped, what for does not really matter here.

you came to voice your feelings then die, you have voiced the feelings and then hung in there.

i am sure many are very proud of you for that, i am.. now, your thoughts of survival are turned towards your loved one, will it work?, ''i'm a jw and he is not''.... fisrt up, you are now, not a jehovah's witness.

wait for it...the day when a non anointed will be on the Governing Body
by Aussie Oz in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i believe that one of the next big doctrine changes will be that the non annointed can be on the gb (and eventually the whole gb will be non annointed).. now that they have slipped through that they are all domestics (the "idea" that jeffery jackson loves so) the current gb are also "domestics" when not meeting as the gb, just as the rest of the rank and file and other annointed are.. not hard to see how they can now bring in any "domestic'' annointed or not to be on the gb.

once one is in, they can bring in more as they swap over.. stand by for more new light from the celestial chariot.... they would not have made so much of the whole ''domestic'' thing just because jackson had the happies for it, there will be a reason behind the manourver i am sure.

i can't see it as essential to the change of fds from the remnant to the 8. that they could have just stated and it would have been accepted without question.

the journey of my children in awakening
by Aussie Oz in
1. jw
2. experiences
at the request of some, i have gone through many of my posts of the last 3 years to collect all my methods i used to awaken my children to the truth about the truth.. from oldest to newest (i will do them in a few posts so its not an endless scroll thru).

had a bit of a chat today about the internet (which i know he likes to use at my place).

in his use of the net today i found one site he visited was one i had visited to get a pdf of a society publication.

Thankyou dad, for making me think...
by Aussie Oz in
1. jw
2. experiences
son was up visiting today and we had some great little chats about all things watchtower.

i would say the chances of him going back are real slim now, for he was telling me of some of his own wtf research on the internet about them.. anyway, at one point he came up, gave me a big hug and said "thankyou for making me think".

it seems that all the little seed dropping and question dropping over the last 3 years really did work!

Neanderthal and Adam and Eve
by Aussie Oz in
1. jw
2. friends
was actually looking into this and so did a search to see what was already talked about, found the below quote on another thread after finding it on the cd for myself...stunning to me as i still thought of neanderthal man as a hairy monkey man or a complete fabrication, and here is what appears to be a twist from the wt that i never realized all my years in.. what i found most interesting was the bolded section (by me).
