My immediate thought:
according to their findings, Geoffrey Jackson lied under oath and maliciously tried to misdirect the comission. As i understand, there are steep penalties for this; will they seek a variable of penalty for this infraction?
will just post the general findings by counsel for the commission (angus stewart) - case specific ones are prior to them.
in short, absolutely damning.. not been through every submission myself yet.

i was thinking the other day about trends.
think back over the decades and how generally the majority of people will feel or like or dislike the same things.
people comment how awful and ugly things that trended in the past were.
i feel the real problem with the wt cult concerning child abuse is it happens to children not adult men.
notice i didn't say adult women because they don't care about adult women either.
i remember a c.o.
This is all wrong.
First of all, suggesting it'd be better if someone was sexually abused is disgusting.
secondly, statistics have shown for years that a person who is sexually abused is more likely to be come a sexual predator. I have read that in many places.
boo on this topic for so many reasons.
edited to add: yes I did read the op, being a victim doesn't change what I stated. Tho I do wish that hasn't happened to you. Thought I should add this because my post seemed cold hearted.
last three years that mark sanderson was apointed(announced)september 1,2012.
After the way Jackson used the scripture in acts that states "appoint for yourselves SEVEN reputable men" in the RC hearing, I think the plan is to keep it at 7.
After all all if there is one thing the organization is good at, it's using numbers as magic.
the word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.
one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.
is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.
Read any book other than the bible, and all of this pseudo wisdom bullshit will blow away along with all the pages of genesis in a tempest wind of reason.
How's that for a metaphor? Or is that an analogy? Hmm
i think you people would like to know that since the public hearing has finished.
there has been ongoing contact made to me by the staff at the rc.
they have been inundated with calls and the same experiences or similar ones are being related.. the staff are not backwards in coming forwards with insights that they have shared.
The RC sees WT for what it is now... a pathetic excuse of a Christian religion.
I think JWs are a perfect example of a Christian religion.
so far in more recent times they have only been called to take the witness stand in court twice to my knowledge one was a no show in defiance to a court order in which he gave a sworn false statement to the courts claiming austrian citizenship.
and the other jackson who gave a terrible witness to the court full of lies and misleading statements.
all this shows how damaging their testimony is when brought before authorities who demand answers for their behavor and policies.. i personal hope for that day to come and have a gut feeling that we will be seeing a lot more of these guys called to court to explain their actions and impose big settlements over their not living up to their fiduciary duty toward children who have been molested by ministers(elders,ms, co, branch personal) they have appointed.
The Org didn't just require all the Australian Branch's money to be sent to the US for no reason, after all.
When did this happen, is there a letter someplace?

But what will the commission do? Investigate and make recommendations? Whooptydoo
throw them in jail. Jackson should have been found guilty of inciting the protection of sex predators and the emotional abuse of millions and thrown in prison without the possibility of parol.
But this wont ever happen. Because they have no actual dirt on the GB. Just like there was no actual dirt on the villain in that episode of Sherlock.

The GB will never see justice. Unless something happens like in Sherlock season 3 episode 3.
Which isnt likely.
i have found an article on their website that moved me to contact them.
i share it here hoping more will contact in a similar vein and maybe we can raise awareness and tear down this propaganda.
i'm writing regarding an article about jehovah's witnesses and their blood transfusion doctrine, found here:http://tinyurl.com/pxku9dgit is clear to me, reading this article, that it's writer is either profoundly ignorant or profoundly biased.
When I say credit, I mean to imply these changes came about because of (or in some portion because of) their refusal of blood. I mean it in the sense that they are given credit for initiating an inquiry for change.
This article I present here, which evidently had appeared elsewhere before now, makes this very argument. In reading your response it appeared to me that you agreed they deserve credit for making the developments necessary - perhaps I misread, but if not I disagree for the reasons I outlined in the closing comments of my previous post. Those being, in summary, that they deserve no credit for something they had no intention or concern or even the slightest inkling to bring about what-so-ever.
