  the royal commission published it's redress report today.

  it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.

  all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.

  If you include the list of 23,000 or so recorded peodophile incedents world wide that add up to $1,625,000,000 minimum.

  Game over Watchtower...

  I'm using Chrome on an Ipad Air 2 and all your posts look fine both vertical and horizontal. But then I have all the ads and banners stripped so not sure if that makes a difference.

  Theocratic War Strategy and Watchtower lawyer Vincent Toole...

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. watchtower

  remember brother toole's testimony to the royal commission that he was unaware of watchtower theocratic war doctrine, and that he didn't know what it means?

  .

  well wait until you read the letter i just posted on my blog: theocratic war strategy in action?

  .. but the letter states that it's ok to lie to what they term as 'bitter enemies'. So by this definition the Australian Royal Commission's efforts to seek to protect innocent children from sexual abuse inside the ranks of the organisation at the hands of those responsible for their care qualifies them as 'bitter enemies'?

  The countless "I don't recall", "I don't remember", "I don't know", "I am not aware" from the mouths of Tool, all the elders and Mr Jackson himself was full blown theocratic warfare in action.

  There you have it ladies and gentlemen.. clear as day.

  Filthy disgusting lying cult.

  a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.

  on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!

  give me a lift over to the other side.

  What does your baptism mean to you now?

  by GiftsinMen in

  i was baptised on 1st sept 1990, 25years ago today.

  it is still a date with deep meaning for me.

  i never dedicated my life to serving any man or any organisation, this was my choice - as a grown adult - to serve my god through jesus christ.

  GodZoo:- ." makes my baptism about as significant as my first puff off a cigarette, my first exsperience with alcohol, my first frolic with a girl and my first punch up...."
  So wrong !! I bet your first puff on a cigarette was fun, your first experience of alcohol fun ( if you didn't puke up ) As for your first frolic with a girl (This is something I bet you never tire of repeating) So that only leaves your first punch up, and let me put you in my shoes on that one, Well that was quite significant to me, and believe me on that one baptism wins every time.
  The Rebel.

  First cigarette (aged 9) I puked up.. first alcohol experience (aged 10) I puked up, first frolic with a girl (aged 7) I did not puke up.. but you're actually right.. I can remember every detail and feeling and visual regarding all these 3 events.

  Baptism? Genuinely a complete blur.. there is no emotional and certainly no spiritual memory/feeling at all. As though it never happened.

  For what was meant to be the most significant and important event of my life I hardly remember a single thing about it.

  Same as many have said above. I was young and vulnerable and got rapidly indoctrinated and love bombed, didn't have clue what I was doing, did not have and never have had any tangible relationship with any invisible, undetectable, unknowable, unreachable God or his apparent and equally absent son. At the time however I do recall that I was sinning my ass off and so to me for all these reasons my baptism is about as significant as my first puff off a cigarette, my first experience with alcohol, my first frolic with a girl and my first punch up..

  Each of which are now just a vague meaningless blur and just as invalid.

  I can not be baptised into a concept or an idea.. a theory or an opinion.. I can not be baptised based into something based entirely on 3,000 year old stories told to me by dodgy window cleaning magazine salesmen.

  If the Bible is to be seen as true.. everyone it speaks of that made such a commitment had either a personal experience, calling, vision or slap in the head from God himself and/or Jesus. Until I experience similar I refuse any longer to delude myself with fanciful stories, myths, fables and legends that jumping into a bath tub somehow connects me to the creator of the universe and makes him and I best friends.

  I have not studied the Bible with my kids as of yet because I don't believe it to be from God anymore.

  Then teach them that.. they are your children.. not the organisations.

  I know it must be an incredibly difficult and complex situation for you to be in right now and I did not mean to lack empathy. I never had a father at all and can see very clearly from the view of the child when one's father is not there to care for you and do the right thing however difficult and hard that may have been for him. Anything less is a form of abandonment. Being true to oneself is always important and even more so as a parent as it will be the substance and foundation of how your children will view you in later years.

  Like: "Why if you knew did you let this happen to us".

  Being true to yourself once you are awake is the first and primary thing. If you cannot do that, nothing else is really of any value at all.

  If you're still in what happened to family study which you should take the lead in? How did these ministerial servants manage to take over your role as father?

  Why don't you just stop the study as authoritative family head and take it yourself and teach your kids the real truth.

  You seemed to have left a void with them that others have stepped in to fill. As I said before.. an absent father is the worst thing that can happen to a child.

  Give Jehovah Only 6 Months!

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  main question: what do you think would happen if jehovah's witnesses stayed away from the watchtower organization for 6 months?

  instead of "us" staying in their world for 6 months.

  personally, i think they would be like the amish youth on rumspringa- many to never return.. i came across a thread here, where the poster said that their parents told them to give jehovah's org 6 months.

  What is a further six month period supposed to change or undo?

  In brainwashing circles It's called 'rinse and repeat'.

  Why doesn't Jesus appear to you ?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament tells us stories about miracles, people speaking in different languages by the holy spirit, jesus appearing to many of his disciples.

  but, why this was only a first century phenomenom???.

  here some reasoning: http://godisimaginary.com/i15.htm.
