So I just looked at the witness list and was pleasantly surprised when I saw who will be "forced" to attend the court.
Right now the elders are saying that; they just do as they are told, "it is not our fault/responsibility". We just do what the service/legal department tells us, etc.
But people who have the responsibility are not out of reach this time.
Rodney Spinks: Jehovah’s Witness and member of the Service
Department, Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of
Australia
Vincent Toole: Jehovah’s Witness, solicitor, and overseer of the
Legal Department, Watchtower Bible & Tract
Society of Australia
Terrence O’Brien: Jehovah’s Witness Branch Committee member and
current director of the Watchtower Bible & Tract
Society of Australia
They even got a member of the branch committee who will have to actually answer the questions! I guess he might try to push the blame/responsibility on the governing body, don't think the Royal Commission will allow that though.
The JW child molestation cover ups in Australia ends one way or another now! :D
