2007 Awake mentions Child Abuse in Australia!

by SG098 in

in the october 2007 awake!

page 11, the b0rg had the audacity to say this concerning child sexual abuse: "sadly, though, most of such [child abuse] crimes go unpunished by authorities today.

in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.

"Sadly, though, most of such [child abuse] crimes go unpunished by authorities today.In Australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted. Other lands have had a similar record. While governments may be able to do little to protect the Christian family, the application of Bible principles can do far more." (October 2007 Awake! Page 11)

Is that their "estimation" or did they deduce that number from all the offenders in the congregations who they have files on and who has escaped prosecution?

'Jehovah is using the Royal commission'??.. Ok, let's work with that.

by defender of truth in

what do you think of the following line of reasoning for helping a jw start to think about what they are admitting.. (essentially, the organisations way of handling child abuse has been wrong, harm has been caused, god is now putting it right.).

reply:.

"i appreciate your honesty, in admitting that child abuse has not been handled in the right way in the past.

Have heard some JWs use that line of thinking:

"Jesus has full control of the congregations and if there is a problem he will sort it out, he might be using the RC for this purpose"

They also thought the new policies that might be introduced (if it is Jesus wish) will be applied world wide; "Jesus is using the "excellent" legal system in Australia to better protect children world wide. After this "cleansing", our accusers cant say anymore about pedophiles among JWs."

RC investigation into child abuse among JWs is faith strengthening to some?

SYNCED SOUND [Day 3 - 29/7]Child Sexual Abuse Within Jehovah’s Witnesses. + VIDEO

by C0ntr013r in

since we are using the live hearing recordings to make videos etc.

i thought it would be a good idea to have the hearings available with synced sound (the stream recording messes up the audio sync).. day 3 part 2 also had a segment missing around the 30 minute mark, this has been included in the synced version.. so here is day 3 synced, it is hard to get it perfect:.

Hi C0ntr013r, will you be recording/uploading this coming Friday's session?

Do you want me to? :P

I am planing to, I think this historical event needs to be preserved in high detail and made available to everyone ;)

Slightly better but I have to stick my ear to my computer to hear it. Those guys are too far from their microphones. Thanks for the work you put in it.

Yeah, the audio on the stream could have been a bit louder, I believe using headphones could resolve your issue

Thank you C0ntr013r. What you and Barbara are doing in making all these videos easily available is important and really appreciated. If there's anyone else who deserves our thanks please let us know.

You are welcome

PlasticVeteran is compiling all the highlights on Reddit from the Royal Commission:

As you mentioned, Barbara has made parts of the hearing available as well. I used her video to include the missing segment in part 2.

John Brown has also made most recordings available:

I would like to thank everyone involved that have archived and in other ways made this hearing available. One person could not have done all this on their own, great teamwork guys! :)

I wish the audio on those videos was a little higher, it's sometimes hard to understand.

But the audio on these day 3 videos are OK, right?

I think you are referring to day 2 part 1 and 2, the synced versions of day 2 have slightly louder audio (boosted as much as the YouTube editor was able). Hopefully it is enough for you to be able to hear what is said.

Day 2 Part 1:

Part 4 uploaded, it will take a little while before 1080p becomes available as YouTube processes the video.
