    I see many questions with Unthank. I don't care enough to research it. There could be other causes for his accounts to be frozen. Part of the problem is that everyone here seems to worship him. I don't know him and I clearly don't know Australia law. I thought that his part was going to be dropped and that professional prosecutors would develop these cases. It is weird for a private citizen to have an ongoing role. The state usually prosecutes, not private individuals. Unthank's work finds a choir here and that is prob. for the best.

    To say that Unthank's role does not raise questions is spurious. Until I know more facts, I give him the benefit of the doubt. He has accomplished so much already. The WT had to back down and tell members to conform with the law. Evidently, the WT was not planning on that strategy. So whatever the legal posture, Unthank has already been a hero.

    I just believe we should have some skepticism after the WT. He is not Christ. Nevertheless, he should be commended. He has travelled far for a layperson.

    Terry, I have to say I'm left a bit baffled by your comment, and I'm not sure where you're going with it. There's no resentment from me over any controversies.

    I didn't mention anyone by name, did I? On purpose.

    I can't see how we can assume the Watchtower had anything whatsoever to do with this. It borders on paranoia.

    We don't have all the facts.

    Terry - the fact that you didn't mention anyone by name makes it all the more cryptic! Sometimes it's best to spit it out, and if you're right with your kindly admonition, then there's no harm in naming names.

    I've re-read the OP, and I don't think Unthank comes across as a man who is jumping up and down, pointing fingers. He is simply relating what happened and strongly insinuating that it might be the Watchtower's dirty tricks. He knows better than anyone not to cast firm allegations that cannot be proven.

    My comments have reflected the uncertainty of it all, and most posters on this thread who sympathise with Unthank have been cautious to read too much into it, even if it is "disturbing if found to be true". I don't see that approach as being paranoid or overly hasty. It just acknowledges that something untoward might be afoot, and if true it would be a negative and outrageous development. I can't understand what the problem is.

    @Band on the Rum......Myself being a sexually abused victim of a so called brother within the WTS when I was a child, YES, YES, I'm without question cheering Mr Unthank on Go Steven! Go!

    There are others cheering him on for the simple fact that he's stepping up to the WTS. There are others cheering him on in hopes the WTS gets FULLY EXPOSED. "The problem here is everyone seems to worship him"? Are you out of your fucking mind?! There is a huge difference between worship and support.

    If you don't care enough about Steven Unthank's frozen accounts or his case, why are you on this thread? You say "until I know more facts", how are you going to do so if you don't care enough to reasearch? Speculation?

    Hopefully Sizemik won't blast me with abuse if I post in this thread......

    PayPal is basically a law to itself. They can cancel accounts at any time and for no reason and they can freeze the cash inside the account, but not indefinitely without a court order. Nor can PayPal refuse to have any contact with him as long as they are holding his money, although they can refer all communication to its legal department. As many online can testify, PayPal is no respecter of basic financial courtesy.

    The odd aspect to this is the freezing of the bank account - it suggests a fraud investigation. That's not to say Steven has actually done anything wrong at all, just that this action would normally mean someone is being investigated. Although PayPal may refuse to say why, it may be possible to force the bank to reveal the reason it froze the account by going to court, athough they too have the right to close an account without giving a reason.

    I hope he is able to sort it out. And to everyone else I suggest you think twice before using PayPal.
