  Ever wondered

  by NoIdeaWhatToBelieve in

  i was very hooked on the rc videos, really interesting to watch.

  i started questioning stuff a couple of months ago.. however there is still a scenario that makes me wonder.

  considering the israelites as god's chosen people and the kings as anointed, the bible shows many bad decisions the people made, including the rulers that were anointed.

  make a deal with yourself to go only where the facts lead, regardless of what your feelings are or how that impacts your current beliefs.

  keep an open mind and dont stop researching. Allow (or even force) yourself to question everything.

  Do some reading on critical thinking and logical fallacies so you can develop a working bullshit meter. Being a born in JW means most of us dont have one, so we are suckers for bullshit even after leaving the WTS, so develop a working one.

  You wont go far wrong if you can do this.

  Requested to have all the shepherding concerns in writing.

  i have not turned in a single field service report this year.

  i decided not to, after noticing the simple flaw in the calculation of 1914. the implications are huge, i.e the appointment of the fds is a fraud.

  i some days ago informed them of the private watchtower documents that are in my possession courtesy of the royal commission.

  If you dont want to be DF'd then you should do everything to avoid telling them specifics that can and will be used against you.

  This article indicates the org will consider policy changes

  i think they were just telling the arc what they wanted to hear.. what do you think?.

  couple of interesting quotes:.

  "mr o'brien, co-ordinator of the church's australian branch committee, told the commission the organisation was "open to change".. in evidence, he said the committee would consider the greater involvement of women in child sex abuse cases, clearer guidance for elders hearing allegations and better communication with victims and their families about their legal options.. mr o'brien told the commission the church did not have a redress scheme for sex abuse victims but would consider establishing one.. vincent toole, head of the church's watchtower bible and tract society, told the commission he would seek independent legal advice about the church's obligations to report child sex abuse to the authorities.. justice mcclellan asked mr toole if he understood there was a general obligation for every citizen to report crimes to the authorities.. "coming to this commission has been a wake-up call for me, i can assure you," mr toole said.. www.smh.com.au/nsw/royal-commission-jehovahs-witnesses-to-review-approach-to-sex-abuse-allegations-20150805-gis2fh.html.

  That quote (the wake up call) was referring to the point of responsibilities under misprision. Toole thought the rules under mandatory reporting got precedence I think.

  The fact that they could be guilty of a crime by not reporting is excellent news to me, but not to Toole.

  I Made the Literature Trolley Run Away Today - Twice

  i popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.

  it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.

  here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.

  Scottish Convention Revelation!

  some circuit overseer gave a talk and made this statement - "jehovah will very soon resurrect millions of people.....".

  "soon" is so old hat now - "very soon" will become the new buzz words in j.w.-land..

  Imaginary deities cant "do" anything. Until they prove he exists and gives a shit, anything beyond that is wishful thinking.

  Why I have renounced Atheism and become a believer again

  by cantleave in

  2. humour

  i have always said that if a god showed itself i would follow the evidence and renounce my atheism.

  i have now seen enough to start believing again, i am so happy, i feel a inner contentment, when he connected with me i really knew it was him.

  if you are not a believer you will not understand this, but trust me, look at the evidence, open your heart to him, let him in and your life will change for the better.

  I hate to break it to you, but that toast has been altered by some faker with a soldering iron.

  Any other god squaddies then look up confirmation bias, because you have it in shed fulls.

  from day 5 testimony:.

  stewart - with regard to confessional privilege which you mention in various places, but, for example, let's look at your paragraph 29. .

  toole - paragraph 29?

  What happens in the US is likely not of huge concern to the Royal Commission I would think. Different laws etc etc
