If a lawfirm claims they can represent victims as identified in the Royal Commission and are not on some "official" list, I assume the victims would know that. Yet still the law firm moves forward assertively in expectation of victims utilizing their services. There are many firms claiming they have the nod from the Royal Commission to represent victims. A quick Google search shows how many.

If these firms are claiming to be working under the umbrella of the RC, and they indeed are not on an "official" list, wouldn't the RC file cease and desist orders, preventing these firms from utilizing the RC entity in any way?

Here is just one example of one of these firms. http://www.kelsos.com.au/our-team/

Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.

that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

Yes, I feel sorry for the Elder who is in state prison for raping my daughter. I feel sorry for the GB and the money they have to part with because of their policies regarding child sexual abuse. I feel sorry for all the JWs who defended the monsters and call victims liars and now have to live with their embarrassment discovering how wrong they are. I feel sorry that wherever JWs knock or stand by a cart, the public is fully aware of their horrific behavior and has no problem delivering verbal denunciation to them, no doubt driving JWs into a deeper state of depression.

I feel sorry I had to resort to sarcasm to illustrate how stupid the OP is.

i'am sure you have come across someone with that type of personality, working in sales, clerk, waitress or waiter.

most are nice but once in a while you come across that person that needs to choose a different career.. this morning i met that person, she just screwed up my day.

i'm thinking maybe her day wasn't a good start,a fight with her husband, bills or children but don't screw up my day.

Does anyone else find some of Ehrman's observations supportive of JW theology? Yes he is agnostic and he approaches the Bible from a historical viewpoint, but some of his arguments seem to fall nicely into JW non Trinitarian theology. Maybe he is just splitting hairs and it comes across that way but some of what he said sounds earily familiar and it is disturbing because I love his work.
