I can live with myself because I can understand and accept the complexity of the situation. And yes how people are labeled is important to the law. Even the commission in Australia recognize that. While speaking of a compensation scheme. You are correct the commission did decide that watchtower did fall under their definition of institutional abuse that they were investigating, but they also said not all cases are such. That the cases would be handled and determined on a case by case basis. Or did no one hear that because it wasn't a complete damning of watchtower.

You do realize that the United Church had a different relationship with the abusers and the victims. These events took place in schools and out of home institutions. So the abusers were employees of the church and the victims were under the complete legal trust of the church.

Who can explain why the "Two Witness" rule is wrong, in the simplest term?
by DATA-DOG inwith all the legalese being tossed around, and the expert manipulation on the part of the wtbts, who can explain why the "two witness" is being perverted by the wtbts?
i don't care if you're a bible believer and want to approach this from a biblical standpoint, or if you simply use logic and reason.
how would you explain this subject to a j-dub, or even a non-dub?.

Under the Radar are you saying that you watched the proceedings with an open mind and with no bias?
Being bias is human nature. We all have biases based on our experience with a situation. It is accepting that we have biases that is the key part in life.

It has to be 1000 Australian Citizens. The parliamentary procedure to petition parliament says that it is the right of citizens to petition Parliament. It can't just be 1000 people from around the world. Also then you have to find either a senator or a PM who will attest to the accuracy of the signatures and then file it with their chamber.

I am looking for realistic expressions, this is when you consider section 51 and 116 of the Commonwealth's Constitution.
