    Thanks sizemilk for re-posting this. An important contribution to the unfolding case in Victoria Australia.

    Amazing cos in Britain they are actually given a tax gift each year and are willing to take it even though they pay nothing

    WOuldn't you think during the economic downturn they would be saying " no Jehovah will give us what we need". Nope! They take the benefit with no trouble but complain when they are taxed and told to pay.

    Amazingly if R and F failed to file their taxes or pay them per law, they would have a nice little meeting with the Elders for doing so

    Double standards much

    I agree that sometimes we need to use discernment when talking to older people who have spent a lifetime in the religion,and possibly their parents too,with some people it`s best just to keep our mouth shut,as it would do more harm than good.

    Just my 2 cents worth

    The children and parents from Traraglon who authored these open letters, would like you to appreciate why they chose this format. The Governing Body themselves set the example when seeking their own "human rights" interests when publishing the following letter (see below) in the NY Times in 1998. As this involves the human rights of children . . . who's voices often go unheard . . . they have chosen to follow their religious instructors example in this instance.

    sizemik, thanks for explaining.

    Thanks, sizemik, for working so hard to validate this and keep it posted.

    I recently found a video on YouTube that could help us see what sort of things the police may be uncovering as they prepare for the next court hearing on February 21, 2012.

    The video is an Australian news program (from ninemsn.com) regarding sex abuse cover-ups by JW elders. This is by far the best news coverage I've ever seen on this issue. Not sure when it was originally aired, but it sure ties in with what's going on right now.

    Once the danger of compromising the current case is over, maybe someone should notify ninemsn.com? It sounded like they were interested in doing a follow up.

    Anyway, the video is in 3 parts. Link to the first part is here:

    Scatteredsheep, thanks for sharing the video. It was hard to tell exactly when it was produced, probably somewhere around 2002-2003.
