I have such respect for both the Judge and Mr. Stewart.

okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.
but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.
so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.
i thought at the end, stewart made brilliant use of scripture (about establishing fornication or other sexually immoral practises) how, in such a clever way stewart used scripture to point out that some one could basically stake out someone's house to see if a person stayed over night be they homosexual or heterosexual............that on the basis of a sort of stakeout, the two witness rule was ambivalent yet it prevailed.
due to sufficient suspicion.. and therefore why did this "suspicion" not prevail with child sexual abuse.
Stewart is doing an amazing job from what I hear. Why to go.

i emailed mr. stewart about jackson's testimony, asking if the video link would be visible to the public.. this was his prompt reply:.

shout out to jwfacts.. just saw the drum.
excellent job !

there was a time when the abuse issues in the catholic church were first starting to be exposed.. now, they were fully aware that they had the exact same issues that they too were covering up.. what did they choose to do?.
they could have "learnt" and said "man, that looks bad and we know we have the same problem - but at least we can learn something and put processes in place to make sure we clean up our act".. they could have done nothing themselves but refrained from criticized the catholic church knowing that they had the same skeletons in their own closet.. what did they actually do?.
they wen't full guns criticizing the catholics for something they knew they were completely guilty of as well, painting themselves as 'the good guys where this sort of thing would never happen' but the only processes they put in place were to tighten up how cover-ups were managed and to make sure the local elders knew how to silence any incidents.
Thank you Simon for saying it so well. I totally agree that there is no way if there is a God that he would ever want them.

I love what you said about changing silent lambs to roaring lions.
I have been forbidden to even mention the word pedophile to some ex JW's much less JW's. People just do not want to know. How can it be stopped unless its acknowledged? Just think if people had listened to the first victims of the Catholic Church, Penn state, Bill Crosby, etc how much pain could have been avoided. How much suffering and heart ache could have been avoided.
I just love it changing silent lambs to roaring lions.

I was wondering this myself. I was thinking about Bill Cosby and how that all just blew up. He he was looked to as the perfect father, moralist, the perfect person, loving husband, etc. Yet all that time, all of these women he had harmed were being shut down and told that they were lying. Now it's all come to light what the true Bill Crosby was. Even for those who do not really believe Bill could have done it, they have to admit that something was not right and Bill was not quite the moralist he led them to believe.
I have been wondering, hoping that might be the case with the JW's finally. People just do not want to hear about child abuse. They just do not want to know it happens and when the victims do come forward they want the victims to be proved to be lying. No one wants to accept the devastating affects of sexual abuse.
The Catholic Church is a prime example, Penn State, Bill Crosby, and I am truly hoping JW's. Everyone just wants to sweep it under the rug and maybe there will come a time when the rug will have to much dirt under it and it cannot hold anymore.
I can only hope we are on the tip of the iceberg.
