Steve2 you have a point. I too saw the poster having to repeatedly watching the September broadcast. Translated, his brain is telling him there is something seriously wrong but he is trying to block that by repeatedly watching. Eventually the brain will begin to rationalize it.
Classic case of cognitive dissonance, also advising others to watch, watch, watch!

i just learned that my husband was in one of the dramas at this year's rc.

the way that i found out is: while looking for a confirmation email for a plane trip we are making, i opened his account.

You could have a point there Gail.
My old hall was the same, only we had lovely browny beige seats and a far better carpet than this one! That carpet is actually giving me the creeps, reminds me of something totalitarian.

By the way, I wouldn't have bothered it looks so drab. Note the article points to the seats? At first I thought the color of said seats do not really match the decor, then it hit me. Their JW>BORG BLUE!!! OMG! They are now sitting on the thrones of their leaders!
newcastle heraldchild sex abuse inquiry hears 4000th testimonyby joanne mccarthy sept. 10, 2015, 10:30 p.mthe royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse held its 4000th private hearing in a jail in august as britain followed australias lead in tackling child sexual abuse.the royal commission heard evidence on august 19 from a prisoner who had been sexually abused as a child.in britain, the head of its newly established independent inquiry into child sexual abuse praised the remarkable response to the australian commission.in a speech to australian church leaders on thursday, royal commissioner justice peter mcclellan said he was pleased the british inquiry would closely follow successful australian arrangements.more than 1500 people were waiting for a private hearing and about 40 people a week requested a private hearing, justice mcclellan said.the royal commission has received 16,361 allegations involving 3566 institutions since it was established in november 2012 following the newcastle heralds shine the light campaign for a royal commission into historic child sexual abuse.more than 7000 allegations relate to religious institutions, with 4418 against the catholic church, and more than 3600 against government institutions.allegations against other churches are: anglican, 871; uniting church, 411; presbyterian, 123; methodist, 69; salvation army, 519; jehovahs witnesses, 137; jewish, 80; baptist, 59; seventh day adventist, 56; australian christian churches, 50; lutheran, 32; brethren, 30; mormon, 18; coptic orthodox, 4; and greek orthodox, 2.justice mcclellan said the royal commission had referred 727 matters to police to investigate with a view to prosecuting alleged offenders.in the past few weeks, the royal commission had reported to the federal government on a national redress scheme for victims of abuse.it was clear that time limits presented a considerable, and sometimes an insurmountable, burden for survivors wishing to commence civil proceedings against child sex offenders and institutions, he said.the royal commission should also mark the end of the societal norm that children should be seen but not heard, he said.when the required silence of the child was accompanied by an unquestioning belief by adults in the integrity of the carer ... the power imbalance was entrenched to the inevitable detriment of many children, justice mcclellan said.we must ensure that in the future the institution does not silence the child.
i remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.
we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.
just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..
well my friends its time to kiss our arses good-by.
our uk prime minister is in his infinite wisdom is on a war footing against assad.
it is being reported over on sky news.
I totally agree in the destruction of extremist groups such as this. What I don't agree in is the words "collateral damage" words used to describe civilians being killed in the line of fire! And believe me, this happens every day!
The UK and the US condemn mass genocide when we are just as guilty for this. True hypocrisy an a global level!
