we know that after the 1975 fiasco there were some revolts and disappointments in the brotherhood, which finally caused the removal of raymond franz and overseers like james penton, and so on.
so, may be these news could cause the revolt of some members in the leadership.
any thoughts?

hi folks.
new here, and growing weary of finding an e-text version of one of the earlier releases of the new world translation.
i have searched high and low, and for some reason, it is as if it does not exist.. i'm catholic, but for research purposes and as a courtesy to jws, i've put the 1984 and the 2013 versions in a database format for e-sword (e-sword.net).

Trying to remember who those posters were or how to find that thread so it can be linked to here...
this is in the july 2015 monthly program on tv.jw.org cedars wrote about it too.. starting at around 42:30 in the video, morris talks about the child abuse situation for almost 10 minutes.
link to video.
i'm writing a transcript right now.

Thanks for this video - great talk.
(let me know if anyone thinks my assumptions are way out of line, or if i've forgotten anything).
basic facts:.
the australian royal commission has 1000+ documented cases of child abuse over 65 years.
there is so much information on the website of the hearing.
you can find the full transcripts of each day there as pdf.. but also the evidence list is very interresting.
it contains many confidential letters from congregations but also from the hq to branch offices.. the full list can be seen here: http://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/exhibits/636f01a5-50db-4b59-a35e-a24ae07fb0ad/case-study-29,-july-2015,-sydney.

if it is what page.
A Loving Provision is not not in the "What Does the Bible Really Teach?" book. Why?
Maybe it's not, what the bible really teach.

is anyone aware if this project is already being done by someone?
if not, perhaps we can brainstorm how to go about this, now that the pdf for the revised nwt is out.
a couple initial impressions:.
this would be a good one for jw apologist who scream and panic with anyone who feels the moral direction of the wt publishing company has gone astray.
a comment at the bible highlights last night blew my mind, here is the article that was referenced.
btw this account always bothered me, remember when it was in a drama?
(a) What lesson can we learn from the incident involving the younger prophet?That's easy. Never, ever trust an "old prophet". They lie. Stick to what you already have figured. Why should you suffer the consequences when a selfish old geezer starts giving you "advice from Jehovah" when they won't suffer the consequences. If anyone says they have new instructions from Jehovah, watch out! Obedience men will have you eaten by a lion! Again I say, "Never, ever trust an old prophet!"
...
In conclusion, never, ever trust an old prophet or an elder!
Okay, maybe I'm over-reacting. Perhaps you can trust an elder to recommend janitorial supplies or to wash your windshield. Perhaps.
Please dispose of your used airsick bag now. I'm taking off my aluminum foil hat now. And I'm off to take another hot shower to get the "cult" cleaned off.
