i am not wanting to start a fight.
i just want to hear what people think.
honestly and realistically, what do you think the australian government will do, with watchtower, when they receive the full arc report?.
I am not sure the ARC can do anything to directly address Watchtower's failure to comply. Rather, they can put into law more clarity around how institutions are to respond.
Further, by uncovering the illegal manner in which Watchtower operates when not disclosing known cases of abuse, this will provide a basis for individuals to sue for compensation.
what is the exact live streaming site for the arc today in sydney?
i hope someone or more here will be watching and giving info/quips throughout the case.
also, will someone here or elsewhere be able to 'save' a video of this (all or part).
The worst, though, the very very worst of the whole performance was when O'Brien pulled out his silver sword and gave a witness to the room. And to everyone watching.
That was amazing. There were 5 very competent judges sitting there, and O'Brien read out the following to show why Watchtower does not feel any obligation to follow the ARC advice.
Isaiah 33:22 For Jehovah is our Judge,+Jehovah is our Lawgiver,+Jehovah is our King;+He is the One who will save us.+
Seriously Terry, what were you thinking? It was so cringe-worthy.

I told the Uniting Church they are fortunate to be following on from the JWs, as they could never come across as poorly.

I just spoke to a person representing the Uniting Church who are up next. They sat through the Watchtower session. He said he was gobbsmacked by the responses.

I spoke to Angus. He confirmed that he was fully aware that a lot of what was said is untrue.

"Jehovah is Judge". Great scripture to read in court. It got a few smiles from the audience.

Rodney Spinks presents himself very poorly and seems unable to understand the questions. Why would they get someone so incompetent as their spokesman?
i was pondering the recent influx of lawsuits against wt, specifically in regards to the child abuse cases (ie.
conti, fessler, lopez, etc).. in each of these, wt has settled for an "undisclosed" amount, assumed to be in the millions of dollars each.
i know there are many many more cases, subject for a different thread i'm sure.. i was reading something completely unrelated a while back that mentioned the dangers of settlement agreements for a large corporation or business (not just wt).
A settlement is dangerous. A legal precedence is even worse.
the wt book "family life" (1978) had something to say on this topic:.
*** fl chap.
10 pp.
I did an article on this is response to Geoff's evasion and lies.

i came across this recent down to earth presentation given by paul grundy.
it's very long but provides a good overview of the jw religion and its dark side.
it was hosted by "sydney atheists" so may not be an ideal link to send to jws.
Thanks alanv
