username.....That was purely fantastic in the most original sense of the word. And, the Royal Commission let him have all the time he needed to f&*(*^ that one up....It was brilliant in terms of giving the idiot a lot more rope than I thought they had....These are not fools to be tampered with in any legal or ........other sense. WT is out of touch with the vested powers that they have. They allow for great amounts of silence, this is good in that it shows how the distortions are being delivered. The heat is on "them", not on the victims. This is good practice, for they allowed whatsisname to show his arrogance...

I am an Albanian therefore kissing is acceptable...
by username in...so says that dino guy!
so he shoves his tongue down his relatives throats every time he greats them?.
this dino guy is totally cold and lacking in any emotion at all, he is your typical sociopath who enjoys his status as a power crazy elder.

JWs trying hard to hide in obscurity right now
by Zoos inon other discussion boards where active jws participate i notice them deflecting questions about the royal commission in australia by bringing up child abuse statistics of other churches, ostensibly to demonstrate that there is nothing news worthy to see here... "move along!".
they are trying to make this story disappear into obscurity, irrelevance, as if it's just part and parcel of big institutional life, particularly of the religious nature.
oh, now they compare themselves to every other religion on the block?.

Zoos Armageddon better hurry up and get here or Watchtower won't have anything evil to talk about
Awesome bit of humour at the right time. I really do love it when you people come out with your' wonderfully irreverent quips. Please keep them coming, they were one of the things that helped me in my dark early days of fear on this site........I get such a kick out of this black humour that it restores my faith in people....Of course you do realise that you are demonised don't you?

steve2.....I would like to say that in this country, they will not be allowed to shy away. The RC will not allow for such a slippery move. Legislation will be drawn up and money will be taken out of the coffers of the WT. This much I do know about Australian Government. They are not fond of religious abuse's, they do not allow exemptions and when they can get their teeth into "fact" they will not succumb to the time worn phrases that spew out of WT mouths. For, as you know. Witnesses have like to say in the past that the legal platform allowed for a "good witness". Well. What a tragicomic statement that is today.
Trust me on this for I am in the midst of it. The frustration and disgust is very evident. The JW community are in a state of decay and shut down. I have been attacked verbally already. I have made a clear note of that........This will not go away....

It is also a great fear of being exposed for the things they have hidden. I know this first hand. I have been subjected to "visits" for the past two weeks.
If I ever thought I was in the wrong as a child, if I ever thought I was evil.......I no longer believe it. I was subjected to a terrible scene yesterday by my sister. I would have remained quiet. Now I cannot do it. I have to defend myself. Sorry. Very sorry. I feel overwhelmed by her hatred of me and her accusation that I would be putting the name of Jehovah in a bad light. This is what she said.
Oh, how I hate what I have just typed. But, you know. Go out with a bang and all that......

Speculation ( not theory ) on child abuse inquiries.
by DATA-DOG inmost of you, like me, keep yourself informed as to what's happening in jw-land.
like me, you make it your business to know what's going on.
so i'm wondering why the wtbts is allowing eldubs to appear in these inquiries in australia??

They have to go. There is no refusing it where a Royal Commission is concerned. If they did not attend, they would be in all sorts of horrendous trouble and it would paint them even more starkly guilty. -

Sinclair is an excellent speaker and questioner. He is living proof of fair and honest authority in "that wicked world" that WTBTS loves to hammer home to all of it's believers.
The way this Royal Commission will play out will be with the welfare of victims in mind. If WT thinks it can deceive those conducting the inquiry, then it is in for a nasty shock.
It seems like all the pieces are falling into place at the moment, for, the society has requested more donated funds and is stream lining assemblies, cutting out the large ones that are held here in Australia. The reason given to me over the weekend, by an elder; was that there is a lack of funds and they need to cut costs.
This elder came to see me two months ago with his wife. I did say in one of my earlier posts that this elder launched straight into his experience as a victim of abuse. I thought it was odd at the time as I had said that my interest lay in the capacity of the witnesses to prove their beliefs using only the bible.
This elder is aware of what happened to me via my family. I wonder. Is this sudden ongoing interest in my spirituality a means to keep informed as to what I will do, or say about this commission? There will be many worried elders and those above them. They will want to know who is with them or against them. I have never had such an effort made by any elder before this recent time ( Royal Commission) Normally, I have been ignored as one who is basically lost and of no value.
The society is up against some very well educated people who have tremendous mental faculties that are put to use in uncovering all the facts.
