The law will not change significantly but fines and compensation payments to victims will cripple the WT if they don't comply.
The reasons for the RC is to identify problem areas so their is no excuse.
the rothschild family will not allow the aussies to take any significant action against their religious wing (mormons, jws, adventists, etc.).
the worst outcome for the borg will be a relatively small fine and a deadline to change their rules.
that is all..

so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.
It's true I saw them walk on the moon on the TV set when I was a kid.
They didn't have the special effects they have today
At least they the JWs don't kill for apostasy like the muslim religion.
There is no penalty for apostasy in the christian religion people come and go and exercise their own free will. We hope they stay but still regard them as christian brothers if they happen to join another denomination
during yesterday's rc proceedings (wednesday 5th august 2015), one of the victim's lawyers questioned mr vincent toole, the jw organization's legal counsel for the australian branch office.
she asked him why at least two of the jw elders who gave evidence last week refused to swear on the bible.
mr toole appear puzzled by her question and said he did not know.
the way she schooled terrence on the scriptures at the end of today's hearings was fantastic entertainment.
i think this woman could have a long line of wt abuse victims wanting her to represent them.
her questions are much better than bcgs lawyer.
i actually started clapping at that point, as his honour explained to the wt type creep sycophantic slithery lawyer that........" i understand that we all have issues to face in life and .....that is a part of life...........however it has become obvious that this man ....is in such a position to assist with this investigation.....".
it boils down to the fact that stewart outright accused the latest witness of misleading the royal commission and this lead to some document searches which led his honour to conclude that they had been protecting mr jackson.
this was a warm and fluffy moment folks.................brilliant stuff!!!!!
hi barbara , and ex j.w`s.
i just thought i would fill you in on the first issue of the saturday paper in australia which was march the 1st 2014 , with a first edition of 100,000 papers,.
i believe it currently covers sections of victoria , canberra , and sections of new south wales.. morry schwartz and the monthly quarterly essay seem to be the prime backers.. while i applaud the article of the 1st of august against j.w`s and wish this had got more widespread coverage , the fact remains that this publication has limited distribution .. with your high profile could you help to get this article from "the saturday paper" more widely distributed across the world ?
Borgites and borgian I believe comes from Star trek and the borg is the enemy . You must have seen it 'resistance is futile' and you will be assimilated'. Many XJWs identify the Borg with the organisation.
firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.
no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.
it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.
It should be noted that even if survivors have been paid compensation in the past courts will after this Royal commission be able to award further compensation.
This will ensure entities not using best practice will be put out of business
