    When you need moral justice, it helps to have powerful allies in your camp who will come to your rescue-

    The only thing the WTS fights for is money, they dont even prosecute pedophiles. True colours coming thru, the new light(tm) is being seen by all(tm).

    For those that dont know Parliamentary Privelege is a special protection in parliament that enables a speaker to say anything without fear of being sued, prosecuted and so on. Its the only "true" free speach in any country. This protection only exists inside parliament outside the regular rules apply.

    I certainly am no legal eagle in matters of law , however for the benefit of those outside Australia it may help to clarify some points. A parliamentary Inquiry is not to be confused with a criminal or even a civil court case , it is just what it says, an inquiry, where submissions are heard by interested parties before a commission.It then depends on the outcome of the inquiry whether prosecutions are warranted.This is my understanding ,and I stand to be corrected if I am wrong.

    I have personally met steven unthank and had a long discussion with him at the Morwell magistrates court where he brought charges against the WTB&TS, prior to the last hearing when the D.O.P. decided not to proceed with the case ,one reason given,"it is not in the childrens interest " (WTF ?) last year. Sure,I only met the man once ,and I found him to be sincere , principled ,yet a man of integrity and determination. The court case was a reality ,I was their.

    Steven Unthank is not a phantom , he is easy to find on his website , blog ,twitter, and he has his e-mail address for any who choose to contact him.

    And as for those of you who have called into question barbara Andersons judgement on the matter , just reveiw all her hard work and effort she has brought to this board.

    Kudos to both Steven & Barbara

    I hope Steve and all of the victims of the WTBS will see justice in the near future. I admire all of those men and women who dedicate so much time and energy to bring about justice and would like to thank them for their hard work. It does make a difference and someday I hope it brings them to their knees.

    I our cong they hade o speac about david anf how bad things he done, and he was foregiven, and if he was forgiven we must forgive, even very bad things done by our brothers, " insted of saying , sexula abuse of children ".

    We was even told that if we not was sadisfide widh the judge from the society, we must go on and be quiet, not talking to anyone abuot this,if we do that they will putt upp a commite to charge us fore slandering and drawing jehovas namé in the dirt.

    Welcome, oldtimern.

    It is hard to doubt the wts is capable of sending an attorney to say the things mentioned in the op.

    <---I was a dub in the land of jw fundamentalists. The bros used to say things about not bringing each other to court. Even if you are later vindicated, you would have still been wrong to litigate or involve authorities, because it brings reproach upon jehoho.

    So pretty much, the org is right, and even when it's not, it is.

    Reminds me a lot of how the molestation cover ups lasted so long in many churches. No one's allowed to criticize the church.

    Prohibit disconfirming information and non supporting opinions in group communication. Rules exist about permissible topics to discuss with outsiders. Communication is highly controlled. An "in-group" language is usually constructed.

    rebel8 "The bros used to say things about not bringing each other to court. Even if you are later vindicated, you would have still been wrong to litigate or involve authorities, because it brings reproach upon jehoho. "

    Very true : However I personally know of a brother,an elder, who misused the societys funds , many thousands of dollars ,knowing him I give him the benefit of the doubt ,he intended to pay it back before it came to light.He was in charge of finances in the congregation and he was also involved in real estate as a job , and he saw an opportunity to make money using the societys funds ,and it came unstuck.What did the organization do ? They had legal proceedings hanging over his head until he made restitution , so much for not taking your brothers to court, oh, and he was made to step down as an elder.

    Their were a few other instances where elders took other bros.to court over disputes that I remember .The congregation I was a MS in had a few self employed builders ,bricklayers ,plasterers ,painters etc. that were in each others pockets and it caused problems every now and then .
