So it's up to the individual to decide whether or not to report a crime like murder to the police, and the elders would not do so. But if that same person were to....oh I don't know let's just say....unrepentantly smokes cigarettes, they would get expelled from the congregation.
Wow, that could only make sense dub world.
(let me know if anyone thinks my assumptions are way out of line, or if i've forgotten anything).
basic facts:.
the australian royal commission has 1000+ documented cases of child abuse over 65 years.
i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.
i thought this report was very well done.

so i have not reported a single hour of fs or family worship in over 8 months.
have not given a single comment in a meeting for over a year.
a few weeks ago, my brother in law, who is an ms now, approached me.
"Appearing like an effing hypocrite in front of your family"
Don't worry the rest of the congregation will view it that way as well.
Gee thanks BIL,
it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

We already knew they are giant assholes. Now the rest of the world can know too.
Happy days.

we know that after the 1975 fiasco there were some revolts and disappointments in the brotherhood, which finally caused the removal of raymond franz and overseers like james penton, and so on.
so, may be these news could cause the revolt of some members in the leadership.
any thoughts?
AM3: " I've heard reports that the elders down under are revolting. Should we be concerned it's 75 allover again?"
Lett: " No, don't worry bro. It's just the lying apostates again."
all judicial comitees soon to end.
i was born into this religion.
i was a jw for well over 30 years.
i did much research before i had internet, i compared bibles and prayed deeply to help me to know if this was the truth.
I believe much of the unexplained "illness" in the borg is due to people on a subconscious level percieving something is terribly wrong with their religion while not being consciously aware of what it is. This causes all manner of symptoms, both physical and psychological to manifest which the person puts down to "the stress of living in Satan's system."
As far as the whole is the GB evil or deluded question, who can know.
This I do know, they know exactly what they are doing...and always have known.
most of you, like me, keep yourself informed as to what's happening in jw-land.
like me, you make it your business to know what's going on.
so i'm wondering why the wtbts is allowing eldubs to appear in these inquiries in australia??
The WT has no authority to decide who appears and who does not appear at a Royal Commission.
Which must he quite a novel experience for them. The elders are GB cannon fodder just as much as the r&f are.
