  Why Jehovah's Witnesses do not use drums... Evidently many a single Bethelite brother has given into the temptation of drums.

  smiddy3 - A class action is now plausable and can, once the legislation is put together by the Attorney-General of Victoria, be seriously looked into by class action law firms.

  There is also a powerful letter in existence, signed by the Attorney-General of Victoria, that is heavily critical of the ongoing failure of Jehovah's Witnesses to comply with the law.

  There are also court precedents in which Watchtower Australia testified as to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses being responsible for any alleged criminal or unlawful activity in the state of Victoria, and not the corporation.

  By the time the laws are introduced it will be ten full years of non-stop campaigning and fighting for justice in Victoria, i.e. 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2018. Countless court cases, human rights cases, investigations, prosecutions, two parliamentary inquiries, and a royal commission later have produced a mountain of evidence to support a class action. All that was left is to close the legal loophole.

  If anyone does not believe that those in the state of Victoria, Australia, don't have the staying power they are only kidding themselves. To quote a friend: "The governing body believe and shudder."

  Interesting times indeed.

  All the property they own Down Under eventually seized?

  No and Yes.

  Of recent times Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Australia Ltd ("Watchtower Australia") have been trying to give the impression that Watchtower Australia and Jehovah's Witnesses are one and the same. They are not and this was clarified during the Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission ("ARC").

  Watchtower Australia's official charity activities and outcomes are confined to "supporting congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses in the practice and advancement of the Christian religion founded on the Holy Bible as understood by the denomination of Christians known as "Jehovah's Witnesses.""

  Therefore Watchtower Australia is not the denomination of Christians known as Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Any proposed class action lawsuit against Watchtower Australia that is launched in the state of Victoria, Australia, say in relation to privacy breaches or working with children law breaches, cannot be made against the denomination of Christians known as "Jehovah's Witnesses" because they do not exist as a legal entity that can sue or be sued. This is the Ellis Defense, i.e. you cannot sue what does not exist.

  Can you sue Watchtower Australia instead? They could argue that they are not the denomination of Christians known as "Jehovah's Witnesses" but support the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses, therefore they should not be liable for any unlawful action or child abuse committed by the religion or its members. Fair argument that is often made in courtrooms across the United States.

  Worth considering, and this is what class action law firms consider, Watchtower Australia does not have the assets or insurance to cover a large class action lawsuit. They do not have large real estate holdings. Below is an extract from the latest Financial records of Watchtower Australia.

  
  

  The above amount is equivalent to US$1.5 million. That is pretty much all the assets that can be seized in any class action lawsuit.

  So who holds the real estate, including branch office, assembly halls, and the hundreds of kingdom halls across Australia? They are held by separate property trusts, some of which are in fact the congregations themselves but not the congregation members.

  This hiding of the assets in trust funds is what the new laws in the state of Victoria, Australia, seeks to address.

  Under the new laws you do not have to sue Watchtower Australia. A class action lawsuit could pursue the denomination of Christians known as "Jehovah's Witnesses."

  This religion would then have to nominate an underwriter for the amount of the class action lawsuit. They cannot nominate Watchtower Australia as they do not have the assets. If no underwriter is nominated then ALL of the real estate and kingdom halls held in trust become the financial guarantee.

  This is where Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania comes in. They would have to nominate themselves for any financial payment in a class action lawsuit.

  With Watch Tower Pennsylvania as the underwriters the class action law firms would now be prepared to carry out a forensic audit of any proposed class actions.

  To put it simply you will be able to sue the members of the religion for the "sins" (i.e. crimes) of the religion. The assets of the religion which are held in trust can now be seized.

  Stay tuned.

  If passed, the law will expose assets of the Catholic Church and other religious organisations, including Jehovah's Witnesses, to potential legal action from abuse victims and any class action lawsuits.

  Religious entities would be required to nominate a proper defendant that can be sued and to keep it adequately funded or insured to cover the costs of any claim or judgement. This also means the "faithful and discreet slave" can be sued despite being a so-called 'theological arrangement'.

  If they fail to voluntarily identify an entity, the property trusts operated by the 'church' would be automatically nominated as responsible for defending any lawsuit. This means that if the "faithful and discreet slave" don't answer the summons to court, like they failed to answer back in 2011 in the Magistrates' Court of Victoria, Australia, then the trust holders of the various kingdom halls and assembly halls can be nominated.

  These laws will circumvent the current structure of Jehovah's Witnesses which removes the Watchtower corporation from liability as shown in illustration below.

  JWs are only important to themselves. JWs tell themselves that they are pivotal to a universal sovereignty issue, that incidently no one else in the universe is aware of. JWs tell themselves that only they themselves are god's organisation. JWs tell themselves that only they themselves will survive 'armageddon' that is due to happen any day now since 1879. Only JWs themselves tell themselves that the whole world, which is pretty much ignorant of them, is out to get them.

  And most of all, only JWs themselves will tell themselves that a YouTube channel that has three followers, and that produces anti-JW videos, is proof that only JWs are the true religion because they are being attacked.

  zeb, take all the time you need to heal. Bad memories are like a splinter. Sometimes the body needs to push them to the surface so they can be removed for the natural healing to commence.

  As for the ARC ... much is still going on behind the scenes. The wheels of justice move slowly but they grind extra fine.
