@Cha ching - just so. Thank you for confirming.
O'Brien confirming WT Oz can't do anything without authority of GB. He's being non-evasive and upfront. No dancing around issue. Hard to argue against their own instructions being read to him without looking an idiot I guess.

Cha ching - it has Rahab in it. Says don't perjure yourself in court but even Jesus withheld all information. Fpund a pro-jw site which has this from it (so maybe accurate in what they have).
edit: thanks Control :)

I believe she's an assistant to Coyne (sp?), who represents the local elders at the commission. There's photos of her accompanying one or two of them.

cha ching - have you access to the 15th November 2004 WT which describes how to do theocratic warfare but doesn't mention it by name? Was in relation to Jesus using it, from memory. For some reason, can't find it on jw.org.

Monty Baker's counsel rocks. Toole has been saying he'd have no hesitation in going to police. She asks him to confirm that he's never done it and never advised anyone to do it. In spite of having 3 or 4 cases discussed with him every month.

BCA's counsel bringing up theocratic warfare. Toole's never read the 1952 WT apparantly. He's claiming he's truthful. Compare it to 2004 WT please ma'am.

Spot on cha ching. And there we go again. In relation to positively encouraging people to go to therapy, "People have an absolute right to speak to who they want to." But here's 60 years of discouragement on going, and active advice about the dangers... oh, and they'd better not be df'd... and express concerns about the cult you're in... and...

Toole now claiming they don't isolate themselves. Counsel for BCA (?) not impressed.
Loving how JW beliefs are passed off as being the responsibility of others. 'Choice' does not mean what you think it means in JW land. How many times has 'freedom' been placed in a 'relative' context in the WT etc? You are free to jump off the cliff... you are free to go to the police... you are free to attend a judicial committee... you are free... It's the little things like 'consequences' for exercising your 'absolute rights' which is the part being left out by JW witnesses.
