Bluesbrother, why not just turn it on, load it up on Roku YouTube once it's posted.

It's not apostate, it's a court case.

.. Jackson may feel that he HAS to testify just for appearance sake to save face in front of WT attorneys, Australian coordinators, and elders, and C.O.'s who have already testified. If he backs out NOW- it looks REALLY bad. And remember- JW's are all about appearance in front of one another..

Flipper, I completely agree. The folks at that pro JW forum are aware he is going to court on Friday, and plenty of Aussie JW's too.. He will be there.

General questions
If you wish to ask a question about the Inquiry or if you have information to support our investigations please get in touch:

Call our helpline on 0800 917 1000
Email us:contact@csa-inquiry.independent.gov.uk
Write to us:Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, PO Box 72289, London, SW1P 9LF

I sent them the following email, if anyone's interested..

Your Contact Us page says:
"if you have information to support our investigations please get in touch:
Call our helpline on 0800 917 1000Email us:contact@csa-inquiry.independent.gov.uk
Write to us:Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, PO Box 72289, London, SW1P 9LF "
Can you please explain exactly what that means?
What type of information could support your investigations?
Does this mean only personal experiences about whoever you are looking into at the time, or does it mean if someone knew of internal policies within an organisation that helped to facilitate the covering-up of child sexual abuse?
Please can you state clearly whether you are referring to just experiences we have had ourselves, or do you also want information about policies or procedures (when dealing with perpetrators of child sexual abuse) that can leave children open to further abuse, such as people remaining in a position of trust and responsibility within a religious organisation even after having admitted to abusing a child in the past?
Or perhaps a offender repeatedly sexually abusing children and yet not being reported to the authorities by overseers within a religious organisation that knew of their crimes?
Here are a couple of examples of what I am talking about, so that I can make it clear what I am asking:
www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/02/jehovahs-witnesses-silencing-techniques-child-abuse
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33201010
I am sorry if I have missed the point of your contact page and wasted your time. Thank you for listening.

May take a while for them to reply..

Just to explain..

The words "Australian royal commission Jehovah's witnesses" won't even sound like it's about child abuse or scandals, and it's clearly not going to be anything apostate.. Because it isn't.

So it should gettheir interest, especially with the 'governing body' phrase to introduce the topic.

Plus you should be able to truthfully say you can't remember all their names, just leave the focus on the words 'Australian and royal commission .. And walk away from them.

If you mention his name , they might just search for that and it will limit the search results.

Try this:

Say to any JW you meet, whether they're family or on the trolley work..

'Have you heard that one of the Governing Body is in court on Friday??

Who? Can't recall. I don't know all their names, do I?..

Seriously, just Google "Australian royal commission Jehovah's witnesses" if you don't believe me..'

Now look at the results they'll find...
