  The talk claimed in this letter sounds over the top, and would be very irresponsible action by WTS legal department to put themselves and their client in. I've been a skeptic of his for some time, and this letter doesn't alleviate any of my doubts.

  So, your argument is that an extraordinary claim has been made and you are demanding evidence of the same standard. That's not an unreasonable request, but you fail to see that in the context of the Watchtower the claim is not all that extraordinary. The Watchtower has been in a free fall since their 1975 false prophecy. Their "this generation" false prophecy got them until 1995, but they suffered a fatal blow during that period. In 1989 successful litigation forced them to stop charging outright for their product. This sealed their fiscal doom, but they had a few aces up their sleeves before their ship would fully go down. They were able to extract the money for their products directly from their volunteer salespeople through a carefully executed system of mind control. This system, however, was swiftly thwarted by the Age of Information. When factoring in the Watchtower's past Unthank's story gains sizable credibility. They are a band of thieves and after being exposed they're taking on final resorts. They are acting like the petty thieves they always have been. There is nothing extraordinary about it, in fact it's expected.

  Thank you Barbara for posting this letter.

  Personal experience tells me the governing body at Watchtower headquarters has no practical concern for the interest of individuals among Jehovah’s Witnesses. So long as they can keep growing their religion business they are content. If one of the worker-bees gets in the way of progress they just step on them and keep going as though nothing happened. They don’t care how much pain and suffering is experienced by the squashed worker. It does not matter to them.

  I agree with you Sabastious in the history of the Watchtower, and I agree with Marvin Shilmer's assessment.

  Yet, I still wish somebody had recorded that Watchtower lawyer. If I knew a big wig was coming to give a talk, I would have set my Iphone on record.

  What a waste of the societies resources to pursue this vendetta against those that stand up to them. I am so sorry for what Steven Unthank and his family has had to endure and I am horrified by the petty minded approach of a religion that claims to speak for God. I think that they have reached the point when they can no longer disgust me and then I read a post such as this one and I realise that they still have the capacity to shame themselves further. I sincerely hope that thet pay financially for every one of these acts of petty revenge.

  Some posters may think that Steven Unthank is a "prized nut job" or use other very unkind expressions to undermine his efforts in the minds of others. Some want or demand proof for events Steven claimed happened before they will give him a kind word. Who are we that this man should offer us proof of his allegations? The editors of The Age (a very respectable Fairfax Publisher's newspaper that can be compared to England's The Independent), were convinced from the proof offered (proof we know nothing about and won't know about until the players in this saga are ready to release), that they chose to cover the story which appeared a few days ago about the Parliamentary Inquiry which Steven would and did appear at. At the front door of the Parliament building were reporters who expected to cover the hearing. Due to the fact that a child testified, the session was closed to outsiders and that's why there was no press coverage.

  Would there have been a Parliamentary Inquiry at all if Steven was a "prized nut job"? Steven has accumulated real evidence over many years which he has not publicly shared, but wisely kept close to his chest. He doesn't have to convince us of anything. What is more important is that he has the proof to convince the authorities that the WT has protected and still is protecting JW pedophiles. Steven is just informing those of us who are interested in what the WT did to him and his family. If he offends some of you by not producing proof, don't bother your heads to read about the unfolding events in Australia which are now having and will continue to have a profound effect upon the Watchtower empire due to media coverage.

  And for your information, the coming events are going to unfold whether you are a supporter of Steven or not. Perhaps it would be best to refrain from such negativity until this is over. Then if Steven is proved to be a "nut case" you can say "I told you so!" For now, just let us release information that comes our way in peace.

  The comments from the Australian JW lawyer made in a newspaper shed some light on their attitude-

  Vincent Toole, solicitor for the Jehovah's Witnesses, said the fact that the church got working with children checks had nothing to do with Steven Unthank, whom he suggested was behind the court case. ''We find it disappointing that he continues to misrepresent our organisation.''

  Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/child-in-jehovahs-witness-court-bid-20130217-2elcg.html#ixzz2LfutCwuT They don't want to acknoweledge that Steve Unthank is having influence on how they go about their business. I was talking to a JW from Melbourne who specifically told me that it was due to court action that some JWs have now been required to obtain working with children certificates. As a side point she also said that because of their concerns about legal actions the elders were now very restricted in giivng any personal advice to the flock. This is sad as it means they are putting the 'fear of man' before spiritual concerns and individuals are not getting the assistance they seek and need, although this may be a good thing as their advice in the past has proven time and again to be greatly lacking.
