Even now survivors of sexual molestation that have had claims payed in the past are being assessed if they require further payments because of this royal commission.

25How big a deal is the royal commission..? It seems to be not much...
by _Morpheus inmy understanding (very limited and maybe flawed) is that this commission has no teeth.
if thats true why would the org care?
send a few lawyers, go through the motions but in the end.... its a dog parking on a porch.

The Australian Royal Commission will NOT do a damn thing to the WT!
by Calebs Airplane inthe 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..

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.

Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.
by The Rebel inso 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

It is well understood that swearing on the Bible in court and if an untruth is told the understanding is you will suffer the punishment of the last judgement recorded in the Bible -

Monty Baker's Lawyer Should've Worn A Head Covering....
by 2+2=5 inthe 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.

The term 'My learned friend' is used by lawyers here and in England in a disparaging way. -

Did you hear that!? His Honour is insisting that Jackson attend the Royal Commission
by umbertoecho ini 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!!!!!

The Saturday Paper
by smiddy inhi 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.

I don't know why these JW witnesses evade and sometimes lie they should be on the same side as the RC. The RC is trying to make them see best practice so they won't be punished by extreme litigation when the next court case comes up. The JWs will be litigated into bankruptcy and the courts will cite the RC it will be their own fault. -

Applegate is an appropriate name however it is Applewhite. Applewhite is an expert witness she is paid in the vicinity of $10000 per day and that proves it. Applewhite is not competent as an expert witness she has misunderstood much and wasted time in this Royal commission
