Jaracz is not important
by Kismet inwhile i understand the attention given to the 20 seconds of comments by jarcz and the damning arrogance he displayed, his role on panorama was not important.. the strength, the courage of the victims that spoke up on that show.
the raw courage it must have taken to back into the room under the house, to stand in front of a camera and talk about these despicable acts perpetrated against them, that was the most important thing.. i take my hat off and deeply respect the courage it took for these survivors, (i loved the sound clip from the candlelight vigil, regarding victim vs. survivor) to stand up and roar.. congrats to all involved in standing up to the borg.
as a caution tho, to all those that remain silent do not feel you have to become an advocate and media star in order to heal.

Mature Minor - Discussion
by Kismet incountries, states and provinces all have different rules as far as when someone legally becomes an adult.
is it when they turn 16, 18, or 21?
should age be used at all to make such a determination?

Legal Commentary on Blood & Minors
by Kismet incanadian law has strongly affirmed the right to only receive medical treatment after providing "informed consent.".
informed consent in making treatment decisions.
however, both provincial legislation (36) and courts have recognized that some minors may in fact be capable of making their own medical decisions.

Good legal news for Canadian XJW's
by Kismet ini just heard on the news tonight that one of the chief advocates for jehovah's witnesses on the supreme court of canada has retired!
the honourable madame justice claire heureux dube has retired from the bench.
she began her career as an articling student for a montreal based law firm which was used by the society and the then very young glen how to defend them in the matters durrounding the actions of the very anti-jw premier (similar to the us governor) of quebec, maurice duplessis.

Barbara Anderson's Role at Bethel Questioned
by Kismet inboth here and in some private correspondence i have received the role of barbara anderson as detailed in the dateline segment has been questioned.. the main reason is that she is a 'she' and not a 'he' and that 'she's' should not have access to confidential records at bethel.. anyone who served at bethel for any length of time discovered that bethel doesn't always work by the same rules as those they issue to the congregation.. i met barbara while she was in the midst of her proclaimer research.
it was likely just another 'branch tour' to her, but i do remember speaking with her and being impressed by the intelligence behind and shine of her eyes.
a couple of items of interest that should help dispell those who doubt the role she had in brooklyn.

Suggestion re: Attacks on Bill Bowen
by Kismet init seems that we have many new aliases popping up right now.
all posting attacks against bill bowen personally.. note they cannot argue the facts of abuse occuring but decide to go after one of the faces that represent the whole issue at hand, bill bowen.. it just goes to show how desperate some people become trying to protect their high control religion regardless the cost to children and adult children of past abuse.. i would like to suggest that we adopt the same advice our parent's gave us while growing up as dubs.
just ignore the taunts, the insults.
