Sofialose, I am sure that some investigative reporter at the local Hispanic community paper would like something meaty. . .in the US, a lot of the publicized cases had Hispanic congregations or defendants involved. Put a bug in someone's ear.

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?
by Wasanelder Once inare 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?

Vindicated but the scope and harm is very real and substantiated in a way that even personal experience didn't prepare me for. It's very sad to see grown men so delusional about the harm they've inflicted. -

WT Lawyer trying to force His Honour to allow Miss Apple to garner more info showing how good WT is
by umbertoecho inhello to all who are watching.
his honour is being tested by wt lawyer in the last thirty minutes of day 4. the lawyer wants to bring in updates on the societies handling of child molestation cases.. his honour tells the lawyer that if he "lawyer" wants a contest between who is better than who....forget it.. his honour is slightly pissed off as wt lawyer just won't back down and insists that this evidence is very important and........"progressive" ( i think ) his honour then continues to tell nice wt jerk type lawyer, that if he thinks this will dispel all that happened to past victims..........think again.. i rough summary but fairly accurate people......god, that wt lawyer is a hateful lying, scheming son of a bitch........

JW EXPERT WITNESS FLOORED BY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY LAWYER
by steve2 inmuch has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.
her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.
astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.

Is It Time to regroup?
by John Aquila inhow much do you want to bet that the organization has already started preparing articles for the watchtower magazines, convention talks, circuit overseers talks and letters to bodies of elders, to refute what is happening in australia?
.
right now the most important thing for the wt to do is protect their image that they are gods visible organization.especially in the u.s. and latin american countries.

Did the Catholic church have written asshole policies or simply some asshole practices? Did the church stand stubbornly declaring victims as liars and excommunicating those who made claims or who spoke about it or who questioned it?
I'm not sure how much the Vatican had policy or how much was corrupt to the policy that they had or if there was a policy at all.
Saying this as what is happening in congregations across the world is in obedience to the WTBTS directives. 1006 /1006. They were very very obedient.

For all the protests of ecclesiastical privilege, that s as me elder SId he would warn his own personal friends, after clarifying that no, he wasn't warning the friends of the abuser! His own personal buds. But not the police. Not the community. -

I rather question the dating. However, the info at this time is a little unclear. If it's that old, cool.
I saw ancient pottery taken from a contemporaneous time that came from the area that had verses written on them. Written verses as we know them n ow go back to that time. Not that big a deal. Very old illuminated(?) Quran pages seem to be all over, so much so that they are framed as art and sold in souks. They fill museums all over the world.

In the late 70s I participated in an investigation into my former neighbor regarding his abuses. It was not unknown or unheard of. When it happened to me in the early 70s, my mom clued in enough to forbid me f err on playing at that house, though she was not savvy enough to report it. In 1978 some had and the police had a respectable investigation into the matter. By late 80s this was not a new or unheard of concept in any part of western society. -

Consider the "outcome" when elders apply the two-witness "rule"
by AndersonsInfo injehovahs witnesses two-witness rule is applied by elders when a witness member accuses another member of a sin, even if that sin is a criminal act.
if there arent two witnesses to the accusation, it goes nowhere, including not being reported to the authorities.
and in the case of an allegation of child abuse, the accused is free to molest again.. watchtower attorney, jim mccabe, recently stated this about jehovahs witnesses two-witness rule which he described as a bible-based belief :.

I think that the attorneys/investigators on the Commission are not necessarily reading this/similar site. I think we all fail to remember that if one is not inclined (vulnerable or raised into it) that the WTS nonsense reads exactly as the schlock it is. A normal, educated person, especially a lawyer, can read through the weasel words. They probably have a class in how to DELIVER nonsense, so they sure do recognize it when they see it!
They have all kinds of legal, procedural, organizational and religious stuff in front of them. They are not idiots. OTOH, they may have gotten a few clues from ex JWs as part of their research and due diligence-which they OBVIOUSLY did, as opposed to this 'expert' witness. Honestly, I don't think they'd need to be clued in by us. They have real dirt that they can use-not anecdotal, not our opinions.
