I need to let you know that here in Australia the Royal Commission is alive and well. People are aware of it and whilst it may not be on the front page of your newspaper, it will end up there at some stage. Although the elders are trying to squirm out of any culpability they are inevitably high jacked by their own arrogant assertions when they start to feel a degree of safety and ease in the questioning.
Also, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't, where issues of protecting the young are concerned. Such is the research and acquisition of documents bearing their signatures and their almost lemming like addiction to referring to the Awake and Watchtower study articles; that at times it is incredible to those who are sitting or presiding over these proceedings... It sounds insane to the reasonable mind and this is evident in the facial expressions of those who are questioning.
The ones being questioned are not giving the wonderful "witness" that they are used to bragging about. And it shows. At times, the when there is dryness of their lying mouths, they are not offered water.......this is to let them know that this is not a light hearted chat about theology, it is about wrongful behaviour past and present. The atmosphere is tense.......for the JWs not for the terribly damaged victims....Don't worry people. This will not vaporise into a nothing, something will come out of this and it will be called "justice".
