Their were a few speakers here in Australia that the R&F put on a pedestal because of their speaking abilities.
Whose names just escapes me now.
O.K. one was Dave Madzay a Canadian ? I believe ,the others I just can`t bring to mind ,but there were a few of them.
I`m talking about the 60`s to 80`s era.

In 4-3 judgment, Montana Supreme Court allows Nunez ($35M) case to be relitigated under another legal theory
by Corney inas a reminder, the plaintiff in that case, alexis nunez, was abused by her step-grandfather, maximo reyes, who have been disfellowshipped for one year for abusing his children.
she sued the organization for failure to report the known abuse to police and was awarded $35 million by a jury while another plaintiff (her aunt) lost her case.
the supreme court of montana reversed the award, finding that congregation and bethel elders were exempt from duty to report.. the plaintiff then asked the district court to allow her to sue the org again under another legal theory - common law negligence - which has been voluntarily abandoned by her counsel before the trial.

In the Bible God has always intervened in human affairs.Backing their wars against other nations inciting genocide,even sending Satan down to the Earth so he could stir up more strife among humans .
Why didn`t he send Satan to Ur-anus ,where he couldn`t interfere in human affairs.?
As far as God`s dealings with Cain he just isn`t consistent with his own laws and changes where it suits him.
An eye for an eye and do not murder etc.etc.

I`m not sure I understand what your point is Anna Marina I`ve only looked at the video for 15 min,so far the first couple of min .were inaudible but the rest , he was speaking about the exploitation and sexual abuse and death? of children.
Then as you say he talks about the want and need to be loved without offering any real solutions and re-treading old ideas whatever that means ,so I`m not sure what his purpose is or yours for that matter.
Obviously you are a firm believer in the Bible and a God of love ,that I for one don`t see any evidence of that in the Bible at all .
But that`s just me and you are quite welcome to your opinions I don`t deny that .

The 7 trumpets in Revelation and the explanation given in the : book of "Revelation Its Grand Climax" or some such title that it depicted the Conventions that started In Cedar Point Ohio ? in 1922 ,then the following six more Conventions each year thereafter .
I thought that was a bit much ,maybe it was another nail in the coffin as regards my belief in JW religion.
At the time it was written I thought the green book "Yout Will Be Done" was a really good study book,dealing with the king of the North which was then USSR that now doesn`t exist { Union of Soviet Socialist Republic } and the so called Anglo-American World Power,that never really existed anyway looking back now.
But at that time it did seem to make a lot of sense during the "Cold War"
