  I want a Royal commission into the performance of our cricket team.

  Trouble is I don't think Ill get one. The other problem the queen will have divided loyalties and even if she doesn't the Duke probably will I saw him in the during the second test.

  I'm not a Jehovahs witness but I get the impression the religion wants to be seen to be clean of wrongdoing and clean compared to other religions. At the same time as appearing clean they have a policy to silence anyone with skeletons in the closet

  nitty-gritty I'm not a JW but I believe you have the right attitude for change from what you have admitted.

  The RC shouldn't be thought of as the big boogieman. After listening to the RC it is very clear there are problems and if these problems are fixed there will be far less problems into the future. Sometimes we all suffer with the sin of pride.

  To tell the truth most Australians if they trace their heritage back are not related to convicts but a few years ago some people that did trace back and find convict relatives were very proud.

  Unfortunately I can't be proud with no proven convicts but some had charges for poaching but fled to Australia before the court could sit. Barry

  Convicts were sent from England to Australia after the war of independence with Britain. Before the war the convicts were sent to America by Britain

  Julie Bishop just said we should strip our cricketers citizenship because of their lack luster performance, all out in the first innings for 60. Maybe thats a bit drastic wouldn't shunning work?

  I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.

  by joe134cd in

  2. child-abuse

  wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.

  i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.

  so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.

  Bill Bowan and Barara Anderson are the heroes of the JW religion but the JW religion are way behind in seeing that. Bill and Barbara could save the JWs from financial collapse at least in Australia

  How big a deal is the royal commission..? It seems to be not much...

  by _Morpheus in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my 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.

  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.
