Rodney Spinks' Performance

by maksutov in

it seems like there has not been as much discussion here about the rc testimony on day 6 (4th august) as there has been about previous days.

i was quite surprised by rodney spinks' testimony, which was a marked contrast to the bungling and inarticulate testimony of the elders that appeared before him.

spinks seemed reasonably co-operative, and a lot more willing to concede points than anyone else has been.

It was Spinks who also tried to divert attention away from the GB. Today that point was referred to by His Honour....

He was a bit of an idiot if you ask me....His compliance was a rehearsed thing in order to create a sort of atmosphere of co-operation.

Don't you see that they are prepped before they go on. The thing is, they are often caught out in the actual print. One of their most condemning printed documents in this case is The Bible!! How ironic. The very book by which they proclaim all truth is no longer a sword against the world, no. It's now a double edged sword........they cannot refute their literalistic take on the bible.

by Esse quam videri in

" i do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that the evidence i shall give in the royal commission shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

".

RC and comming legislation

by Bill Covert in

the rc put it to spinks that there is comming legislation comming out of these proceedings, of which mandatory reporting, to be worked out.

criminal charges for those in clergy positions failing to make the report.. in the post "contacted by royal commission today" "umbertoecho" stated that she was encouraged to seek compensation for damages.

mulling that post over in my mind i think the rc will legeslate a means that the victims of jehovah witnesses will be able to gain compensation from the watchtower much like the catholics.

I don't have the energy left to claim money. Honestly, I am so tired from the threats I received long ago and a few weeks ago....I just don't have the energy.

I want others to receive all that they deserve and I really mean that. I am an older woman who has developed a way of living and coping. My hugest reward was in knowing the powers of this Commission. I had some little insight as to the capacity it had for serious change. And I wanted that. I wanted the deceptive answers to be challenged for once and I wanted to see how the team unravelled this awfully self righteous religions attitude toward the world.

This is the sort of compensation I wanted. " A good old shove that in your face and eat it sort of compensation." And the insisting by Stewart and His Honour in having their questions answered, then being quite clear when they thought a lie had been given them. Good stuff to retire on in my opinion.

Did you hear that!? His Honour is insisting that Jackson attend the Royal Commission

by umbertoecho in

i actually started clapping at that point, as his honour explained to the wt type creep sycophantic slithery lawyer that........" i understand that we all have issues to face in life and .....that is a part of life...........however it has become obvious that this man ....is in such a position to assist with this investigation.....".

it boils down to the fact that stewart outright accused the latest witness of misleading the royal commission and this lead to some document searches which led his honour to conclude that they had been protecting mr jackson.

this was a warm and fluffy moment folks.................brilliant stuff!!!!!

umbertoecho

barry, that was an brilliantly silly movie. I still have it and enjoy it.

As his Honour said. It's not Mr Jackson who is ill is it?

No your Honour

It's his father who is ill isn't it?

Yes your Honour.

Well, we all have to cope with thing in life...................I had not been informed of his (high?) importance to this religion.............but it has been brought to my attention now and I see no reason why he cannot appear to assist with this investigation.

Yes, he could put on a dress and pretend to be a woman wearing a nice little number and hopping on a plane, refreshing his lipstick....slipping on those fish net stockings and wobbling slightly on his stilettos.......not in that order of course.

Ummm actually it's a rather disturbing image............
