The Australian Royal Commission called out governing boby member Geoffrey Jackson on his secular education, qualifications and schooling. No surprise that he was a middle school drop out without so much as a certificate of attendance for anything.

What is the Education Level of the Governing Body members?
by Wild_Thing ini would love to compile a list of the education obtained by the governing body members both past and present.
can anyone provide any information to get me started?.
it still amazes me they think they can translate ancient languages with an 8th grade education.

Lets be honest we will never expose the danger to the world of JW.org
by James Mixon ini thought, ok the case in australia would open the eyes of the world about this dangerous cult.. well that passed without a ripple.
we talk about the un and the wt link, none jw's don't.
understand the significance.

Contrary to popular assumptions alot of JWs in Australia watched the proceedings of the Australian Royal Commission, and were fully aware of the lies coming from the JW heavyweights Jackson, O'Brien, Spinks and Toole.
The disgust of many JWs towards each of these lying men-of-god ("mogs" or "moggy" ie a moggy elder is an elder lacking religious pedigree or morals) has caused large divisions in congregations and families and have created many an inactive one. The effects will last a generation.

Found Another Medieval Coin This Evening
by cofty ini got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.
i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.
he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.

This got me thinking. What if you were to "find" a coin which showed the Jews going into Babylonish exile on one side and the image of Nebuchadnezzar on the other side with the letters "607 BCE" in raised profile on it?
I wonder how many JWs would see it as proof for the Bible aka GB.
Not to take away from your find. Congrats again.

Can you prove that our entire universe and existence is not a computer simulation?
by EndofMysteries inif you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.
first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.
while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.

I think, therefore I am. That is to say I think I think and if I do indeed think I think I think I think I will let it go. At least I think I think that. Phew. I think I need a rest to think about what I actually think about.

JW Stand On Concealed Carry
by Cold Steel inif a jw wanted to get a concealed carry permit, would the society have any moral or ethical problems with it?
in other words, if one of your elders noticed you were carrying concealed, would they be apt to just ignore it or would they counsel you on it?

So "masturboating" is a no-no in Watchtower Land. I'm glad the light got brighter on this subject - like a boat tacking in the wind (sic). There must be some scriptural quote about wasting your seamen in this somewhere.
I am sick of this cult. I loved sailing hobbie cat 16s as a child and had this taken away from me as well by the JWs. Getting another sailing boat is now on my wish list.

"Is it proper for a brother today not to have a beard? In some cultures, no beard may be acceptable and may not detract from the Kingdom message. Still, some brothers might decide to have a beard. (1 Cor. 8:9) In other cultures and localities, beards are considered acceptable for Christian ministers.—w16.09, p. 21."
