  Why don't the Elders have judicial committees on murder cases?
  

  Because its a criminal offence.

  First phone the police, then phone your clergy.

  1. Rape and molestation are also criminal offences.

  First phone the police, then phone your clergy.
  

  2. Every citizen in every civilized country has the duty to report a matter which they think may be a criminal offense and that has gone unreported. Its that simple.

  Justice: "Is it appropriate?" (forcing a young woman to describe sexual details to three MEN who are friends of her father)

  Elder: "There might be a better way of doing it."
  Justice: "What is that better way?"
  Elder: "I don't know." (aka. I'm not allowed to think of stuff like that and remain an elder in good standing)

  Was it not a GB member said recently in court that protecting children physically is not their concern. Only spiritually...that statement there should be enough to force changes to their policies.

  @clambake good job.

  I took a different approach yesterday with the wife. I was like, look honey JW's are trending on yahoo she clicked on and it and read one of the articles. She tells me I can believe a MS molested his daughters, am like yes Holy Spirit sure does a fine job picking MS and Elders.

  No, it wasn't a GB member. But it was a brother with the title "Watchtower Supervisor," whatever that means.

  Stan. We all agree. But when you say that to a not awake jw they go hard on the cognitive dissonance. It's true. But this Australian thing is an opportunity for us to possibly get through to some to wake them up.

  lets hope so Free

  if you think about it----this could be a great opportunity for the arrogant asses running the cult to admit their faults--spin it to be jehovahs way of straightening things out--and use the opportunity to dump a lot more of the crazy rules and unpopular regs that cause them soo much trouble. maybe time for watchtower reborn ?
