  I got an idea. Someone should post a link to the Australian trial on JW Facebook media with the statement that the elder on trial is doing a great job of defending the organization. Such a damn lie might encourage them to go there in order to see what's going on.

  Ask Barbara Anderson. She might be able to add up some figures from her files on child abuse lawsuits.

  Do you feel vindicated by the exposure of the WT Society in Australia? It seems like a feeding frenzy on here! I love it. You?

  are you pleased with the exposure of the society in australia?

  do you feel personally vindicated by it?

  do you think it gives you credibility with others now that all the things you said were going on, actually are documented?

  How many of the 1.006 alleged abusers will be investigated by Police?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the commission has the names of 1,006 alleged abusers within australian congregations since 1950. some will have died and others will already have been prosecuted but the branch did not report any of these allegations to police.. the terms of reference for the royal commission is more about redress for the victims but that can include criminal prosecution although they are more focused on financial compensation.. however, now that they have the names of 1,006 potential criminals there is some responsibility to see that they are dealt with criminally.

  it appears to be in their authority to have cases followed through by referring them for further investigation.

  this is clear because the commissioner has recently reported that to date, they have done so in 493 cases identified within the scope of their commission.

  If only 100 of those victims were to sue (and settle) then it could bankrupt the Watchtower regime in Australia.

  I'm surprised, almost shocked, by the level of honesty with which he's responding. Another elder would probably have lied through his teeth about reporting crimes to the authorities.

  2. scandals

  the lawyer at the australian royal commission (arc) hangs the elder out to dry on his own statements!.

  wonderful to see the org's little dictators being subjected to their very own personal judicial committee hearing - but in front of millions, and not in secret!.

  from 43 minutes onward.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv8ptogc6k0#t=2607.

  elderINewton:

  "its going to be interesting to hear what the branch reps say on the stand. I can easily say the only recourse for them at this stage is to let the elders hang and say they were the problem not following direction."

  They can try but one of the pieces of evidence that the commission produced was the Flock book which is damning evidence against the whole hierarchy.
