    He is a different demeanor altogether when answering the female counsel.

    His has a lecturing tone.

    LoveUni: Spinks just said that if a person is accused as a molestor they are automaticallydeleted as an elder

    Wasn't there testimony already given by the one or more of the JW elders that if the accused admits/confesses, he is given the option to "step down" rather than be deleted?

    I think it was Horley that said that. Because it later made me wonder about the "stepping down" that two of the elders said they did temporarily. When questioned, they had both said it was for "personal reasons".

    Wow! His demeanor totally changed when being questioned by the female attorneys! I'm sure that didn't go unnoticed.

    He was snotty, rude, pompous and absolutely disgusting. Interupted the women and ridiculed their questions. And snarky about their manner of questioning. Demeaning bastard.

    And then he turned around and just groveled for the Justice.

    Disgusting.

    Watching Spinks just makes me want SO much to "return to Jehovah" so I can be under the control of such headstrong men again. This is exactly why I quit going to meetings in the first place. To reach out as a brother for "privileges" - you must become like them. So I did and then this realization came to me: I hated myself! I absolutely did NOT want to be like them! so i said, buh-bye.

    I think (and hope) that what the commission got from Spinks was that "JWs Don't Budge". Spinks is making it even easier for the commission to make their decision. And the demeanor of Spinks on the stand is a perfect object lesson for them to peer into the "environment" that Jw children and others must contend with. :)
