Thank you very much girl next door. I'll edit and post them!
Sorry, it doesn't look like I can edit that post. Maybe a time limit. Anyway, the post to Geoffrey Jackson's statment was at http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150815/let-many-islands-rejoice/
The statement about Satan behind the governments is at

Petraglyph, here's a 2011 one, which the Commission is aware of. 8)
Ah good. I'm sure there was also one or more articles this year. If anyone knows the issue(s) could you post the link/reference?
Or I'll look through their online catalogue later...
Would it be helpful for the Royal Commission to be given copies of the "teaching material" that this representative of the Almighty has released on how to parent and how to identify abusers? After all, the "expert" gave testimony on how "the messages" given to JW children and parents exceeded other churches standards for education.
I am thinking of the Sparlock video, that uses "parent-child role reversal strategies", by instilling a responsibility on the child for "Jehovah's feelings".

Jackson has a hand in the teaching material that is produced for the WTS. I hope all those horrible Caleb and Sophie cartoons get looked at and exposed for the terrible indoctrination that they are.
The ice cream video, and the "monster" video - they must have been approved by the teaching department.
Once Jackson's authority is established, he has to account for what his authority produces and the impact those educational materials have, especially material aimed at children and the family structure.
Anon2, Welcome! Wasn't there a fairly recent Watchtower with an illustration of the world (globe). Sitting on top was the governing body followed by the branches followed by traveling overseers etc. all the way down to the rank and file who were so low they weren't pictured on the globe but below. In addition Jehovah is pictured above but Jesus is missing altogether which implies that the GB is directly below God replacing Jesus.
Maybe a picture could say 1,000 words to the RC.

This one? April 2013 WT., I think..
A good article too at jwsurvey with WT quotes defining the authority of the Governing Body:
