freemindfade....I think you are correct. "Acting more culty" is kinda what we expected. I don't think the uber dubs know how to react. Most in our generation have NEVER faced anything like this.

If Jackson is not available due to compassionate reasons, can other GB member take his place?
by Viva la Vida ini would think the only christian organization on this planet would be more than willingly send another gb member to australia in order to answer rcs questions, taking the place of jackson who is taking care of his ill farther.
.
if someone should show compassion to jackson those are his gb pals.

I think they should send Anthony Morris. He would do a wonderful job! After all he did a great job on the Zone Mtg. talk. Maybe he could share some of his "human hot dog" experiences. The RC would BURY him! I would love to watch that one. -

So frustrating! We can only hope that all of this will mushroom into a major News story. We have contacted several news media sources. Let's hope it will explode into something BIG here in the United States. Every ounce of contact we have with the News Media is a plus. We kudo Barbara Anderson and others who have worked so hard on getting the right info into the correct hands. -

l just had a discussion with my uber Dub father about the RC in Australia
by joe134cd injust jotting this down while it's fresh in my mind.. joe= apparently they have got issues over in australia at the moment with sex abuse, and this time the government got involved.. dad=yeah they mentioned this at the assembly last weekend.
apparently so they said all religions and organisations are been investigated.
joe= kind of seems funny how the only 2 religious groups been interviewed so far are the catholics and jws.

Royal Commission and blood transfusion refusal for children?
by Marvin Shilmer ini wonder if the royal commission has examined the practice of jws being led to refuse blood transfusion for children when medically necessary to save life or preserve health in relation to the question of child abuse.
i've not heard anything about this brought up.
is the rc concerned solely with life altering abuse only in the form of sexual molestation, or is it looking at how the organization deals with all life altering forms of abuse jw children are exposed to the result of watchtower teaching and society?

I think this is a great point. There is so much wrong with this cult. It's hard to pin point just one thing. I think the more that is pointed out to the RC the better. Send them an email, it will be interesting if they investigate it. The best way to find out the facts is to go to the source. The RC is listening and responding. Let's educate them! You never know where it may go! We truly believe the RC is using info provided by the ones who have been impacted the most. Let's face it, we have ALL been impacted in one way or another.

We haven't been to a meeting or JW event in several years. We have been following the RC closely. It is fascinating! For those still attending, is anyone talking at the meetings, field service car groups or other JW events about what is going on in Australia? Just curious. Is this big to the JW's or are they not aware of the issues? We are in the U.S.
