day 7 of the australian royal commission has chair justice peter mcclellan raising the point that i have been wondering about all along, which is, how can these elders not report child abuse to the authorities especially when a full confession has taken place?.
justice mcclellan asked toole, the wts's lawyer, if he is aware that there is a difference between an organisation being required to have mandatory reporting of child abuse to the authorities and misprision which is the concealment of a felony, itself a criminal offence?
toole says he is aware of it now but he wasn't before!
There has to be consequences for the level of accountability before Ceaser.
Ouch!
The trial that put JF Rutherford in prison would be very interesting to review.
Where are those transcripts?
We all know the WT story, blah, blah, we're innocent, persecution, blah, Jehovah picked us to judge you for eternity or he will kill you and your family, blah, blah
The spin WT lays out in desperation will very likely not be "sound or strategic from a human stand point"!!
I guess the new top of the list is:
The real fear that remaining loyal to the ORG will be meaningless when the WTS is no longer existent and their source of "nu-lite" has gone permanently dark.
Or for elderz:
Going to prison for "following orders".
thinking of leaving the jws for good is frightening.engaging a quality fade is nerve racking!there can be horrible consequences that can leave one shunned.even the most careful fade can be undone by many means and loved ones.. one must weigh the consequences of leaving with true freedom.yes, that kind.
where you always make the decisions in your own life.. no need to be reckless and wild to destruction.
be like almost everyone else in society that enjoys life to the full and looks out for their fellow.look around you at happy, friendly people in your community.

Chilling.
could this be a "wake up trigger" question to a nosy elder?.
"how many pedophile lawsuits are the wts legal team currently defending?".
how would/could they answer?why should the answer be secret?.
i would think the only christian organization on this planet would be more than willingly send another gb member to australia in order to answer rcs questions, taking the place of jackson who is taking care of his ill farther.
.
if someone should show compassion to jackson those are his gb pals.
I would really feel like justice is being served if they have a GB memebr on the stand telling them how many pedo lawsuits have been fought, currently in court/pending, total cash paid to victims and the BIGGIE...
Total number of pedo cases on file. The TOTAL. ALL. THE COMPLETE SUM. HOW MANY?
This *may* happen.
if anyone knows which committees gj sits on or what some of his responsibilities are, can you please post here with supporting quotes.
Yet, they are appointed by holy spirit?
...To write these articles for the sheep.
25 years of my life wasted.
sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.
i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.
he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.
Maybe they can play the clip from the Broadcast of Lett blaming apostates for stories of pedophiles?
( while Jackson watches along, too. Of course )

If there is a "Jehovah", he must be directing this exposure.
This level of humiliation upon the ones claiming their policies are directed by the Holy Spirit seems to be never ending.
He's certainly never been leading them. NEVER!
( if so, where is the evidence JW site visitors? )
i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.
Yes. Thanks Jeff.
Things are moving fast.
I don't care at all if they call me apostate or whatever.
I'll admit it to their face. Then I'll ask them to help me understand how the two witness rule protects children from pedophiles.
My wife and I are doing this together.
All the way.
She is vowing to remain a JW.
I'm vowing to stay with her.
I just REFUSE to be walked on.

It's important to note that my wife is seeking professional help with the goal of saving our marriage.
