Jesus begs to differ..
Mark 10:7-9
7"For this reason a man shall leave his mother and father, 8 AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."…
'No man' includes any self appointed governing body..
Holding your wife during prayer is the same as holding yourself.. I'm sure the God who cemented man and woman together would have no issue with this nor should anyone else.

by Magwitch inapologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.. has every elder called to the stand had his own personal attorney?

I'm not sure........I listened carefully to Justice McClellan, he said until Friday......
by umbertoecho inhowever, it may be that they are trying to find jackson and see if he will come in to assist.
it has been said on a wt friendly news site, that jackson has declined.
i don't know what this means in terms of what the rc will decide to do.

SO IM JUST WONDERIN.....
by brandnew inas the story of "annointed" ones goes.....when their spouse is left behind on earth, are they free to remarry?
that would kinda suck, being in heaven...watching the wifey , or hubby gettin doinked by someone new.
just sayin.....shewt...i got way too much time on my hands..
-
GodZoo
Yep...that's the way the cookie crumbles..except maybe the still alive one on earth is old and not up for much boinkin...
Don't they teach that all will grow young and beautiful again with perfect bodies? So the old worn out nag that said anointed was married to and left to go to heaven will become Miss World within a year or two and have all the next set of rebellious angels after her.. not to mention having to watch her getting popped for all eternity by that slack ministerial servant that ended up marrying her in the new system..

How big a deal is the royal commission..? It seems to be not much...
by _Morpheus inmy understanding (very limited and maybe flawed) is that this commission has no teeth.
if thats true why would the org care?
send a few lawyers, go through the motions but in the end.... its a dog parking on a porch.

I hope that they are also investigated for and get asked what actual charity work they do for the Australian or any other community for that matter. -

Question for those still attending...is anyone talking?
by ToesUp inwe haven't been to a meeting or jw event in several years.
we have been following the rc closely.
it is fascinating!

GodZoo
lets get real folks.
jw's are less than point one % of the population.
so this investigation is of zero interest to 99.99% of the population--so it just isnt newsworthy.All due respect but I would say you are very wrong there stan livedeath
.. 99% of the population might not be interested in joining JW's.. but a very large number of the population would definitely be interested in seeing the org exposed for what it really is and to see it pulled apart at the seams by professionally trained, acute and objective legal minds.

They can have pretty big teeth.. and for an organization like the borg who quite viciously guard their reputation and standing of being squeaky clean and the torch bearers of morality in this world this commision can wreck that facade.

A Royal Commission is a major ad-hoc formal public inquiry into a defined issue in some monarchies. They have been held in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia. A Royal Commission is similar in function to a Commission of Enquiry (or Inquiry) found in other countries such as Ireland, South Africa, and Hong Kong.
A Royal Commissioner has considerable powers, generally greater even than those of a judge but restricted to the terms of reference of the Commission. The Commission is created by the Head of State (the Sovereign, or his/her representative in the form of a Governor-General or Governor) on the advice of the Government and formally appointed by Letters Patent. In practice—unlike lesser forms of inquiry—once a Commission has started the government cannot stop it. Consequently governments are usually very careful about framing the Terms of Reference and generally include in them a date by which the commission must finish.
Royal Commissions are called to look into matters of great importance and usually controversy. These can be matters such as government structure, the treatment of minorities, events of considerable public concern or economic questions.
Many Royal Commissions last many years and, often, a different government is left to respond to the findings. In Australia—and particularly New South Wales—Royal Commissions have been investigations into police and government corruption and organised crime using the very broad coercive powers of the Royal Commissioner to defeat the protective systems that powerful, but corrupt, public officials had used to shield themselves from conventional investigation.
Royal Commissions are usually chaired by one or more notable figures. Because of their quasi-judicial powers the Commissioners are often retired or serving judges.
Royal Commissions usually involve research into an issue, consultations with experts both within and outside of government and public consultations as well. The Warrant may grant immense investigatory powers, including summoning witnesses under oath, offering of indemnities, seizing of documents and other evidence (sometimes including those normally protected, such as classified information), holding hearings in camera if necessary and—in a few cases—compelling all government officials to aid in the execution of the Commission.
