spotted this article this morning.
i will try to post a link.. jtg.. australia.. institutions refusing to join the national redress scheme are "doubling down" on the crime of child sexual abuse, prime minister scott morrison says.. mr morrison and social services minister anne ruston have warned institutions they may lose funding and tax concessions if they fail to sign up by tuesday's deadline and will be named and shamed.. "all institutions are doing in not joining is doubling down on the crime and doubling down on the hurt," they said in a letter to 25 institutions.. "we consider it to be reprehensible that you have failed to sign up to the scheme.".
the jehovah's witnesses is among the organisations that has refused to sign up, arguing it does not have the institutional settings of other faith-based institutions that the redress scheme is designed to cover.. senator ruston is set to name the non-participating institutions on wednesday, when she will announce what action the federal government will take against them.. "we urge you to join the scheme not because of concerns about being identified, but because it is the right thing to do," the minister and mr morrison said.. "it is the right thing to do by survivors and their families and it is what every, decent, honest, australian demands.".
The WT will lose it’s tax exempt charitable status in Australia, I’m certain of it.
If the WT joins the redress it would certainly cost them 10’s of millions dollars, potentially in excess of 100 million.
The WT also refuses to change internal policies and procedures, so they’ve really given their middle finger to the whole commission.
They’ve got it coming
in 2002-2004 - during its first time around - that "pandemic" killed 774 people worldwide and then "evaporated.".
strange how viruses "work.
".
I enjoy the science, I just don’t trust WHO or the Chinese, Dr Fauci, Trump, the media or the majority of our government in Australia.

any thoughts about this?.
I remember Trump was paying over $9 to win on Sportsbet, Hilary backed in firm at around $1.14 the night before elections, those odds speak volumes about who was supposed to win.
I won’t be surprised if Trump gets another term and if he’s paying $9, I’ll gladly put a few hundred $ where my mouth is
for those who haven't come across furuli before , he is a 77 year old norwegian professor and is ( or was ) one of the few "scholarly" jws used by the society and used as a source on various matters ( especially 607 bce ).. however recently he has fallen out with the gb and has published an interesting book - like many recent scholarly apologists , he seems to be going down the road of disagreeing with the authority of the gb but still holding that the jws is the one true religion.
kind of "lions led by donkeys".
whether this view will continue is anyones guess.
That footnote stinks, written like the deluded WT apologist he always was

That ‘militant attitude’ he’s talking about is the glue that holds the religion together.
JWs think it’s the love among themselves, it’s actually the shunning and disdain of former members and critics that keeps their group so tight.
If they watered this down the religion would soon dissolve
we have to get rid of these racist relics.
i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !
we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.
Western culture will soon be on life support at this rate, censoring our arts is a slippery slope.
Who wants to go to a comedy club and listen to woke comedians telling PC jokes all night?
Everyone is scared shitless at retaliation from the LGBTQ’s or greens, who if had their way would charge them with hate speech crimes and jail them.
Welcome to the future.
this video was somewhat revelatory to me.
i knew that fox was a coordinated news outlet but i had no idea it was so rigid.
that's the iron fist of the corporate agenda.
No escape from the mass mind rape, play it again jack, then rewind the tape
Then play it again and again and again, until your mind is locked in
Believing all the lies that they’re tellin ya, buying all the products that they’re selling ya
They say “jump”, and you say “how high?”
Ya brain-dead, ya got a fucking bullet in ya head

i used to watch his videos on the monthly gb talks.
he has went over the top a few times doing one video on why being liberal idiot is a good thing.
he has made comments on the usa not knowing shit about what he was desperately trying to talk about.
In Australia our two major political parties are Labour and Liberal.
The Scott Morrison Liberal Party currently has power, but they are not liberals as such, actually centre-right.
The Labour Party is centre-left. We get extremes with some of the minority parties, the Greens are so far left we need Pauline Hanson(shout out to Ipswich) adding balance.
the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.
disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.
he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.
@a watcher
I’m with sir82, not every JW shares your imaginary Jehovah, every JW imagines their own.
Yours is a peculiar one.

It’s such a joke.
Like this Jehovah guy is a relatable person.
Scored a big contract building the universe, started out well, getting through a shit load of work but things take a bad turn with rebellion. The disappointment poor old Jehovah would have experienced.
And he still had to explain to his first child he was planning his murder.
Imagine all this in your first week at a new job.
That’s poor Jehovah.
