Nice last interjection by his Honour, just as Spinks was trying to wriggle away from Monty Baker's counsel's questioning ... -

Spinks very proud of his tap dancing. He needs Judge Roy Bean to teach him some new dance steps. -

Absolutely OC. Difference in his attitude is pretty shocking. -

Does someone have a scan of this article they could put up for Alison from the ABC?
The Watchtower magazine, September 15, 1989
Elders—Treat God’s Flock With Tenderness!
You can PM me it to me if you like. I'll be in touch with her right at the end of these proceedings today and would love to give it to her.

Spinks is saying Jehovah's Witnesses have absolute authority for the law. Did he forget the Scripture "Obey God as ruler rather than men."
Oh no, here it comes. Love how he refers to how good they were by refusing to obey the Nazis. Well what about when the RC recommend having a female on a judicial committee. Or not needing two witnesses.

Spinks just said that if a person is accused as a molestor they are automatically deleted as an elder
He also stated that deletion in this case would be permanent.
I think he has misspoken.
Isn't there WT instructions that say a deleted paedo-brother can repent and after x amount of years, can again serve as an elder?

Spinks is absolutely blind to the issue McClellan raises over their interpretation of the bible requiring using their own judgements. McClellan seems amused by that inability to see. -

Yes, he clearly said something contrary to published guidelines for elders. He's using "theocratic warfare" strategy. Being a Branch rep he certainly should know he is telling an untruth.
