Thanks for posting this Flipper. I've been re-posting the video on various boards that ex-JWs and some of our local politicians can see. I'm so glad the Australians are doing this.

i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.
i thought this report was very well done.

the royal commission hearing starting on monday, july 27, 2015 - australian day and date - (and it could go on until august 7th depending on how many witnesses testify) regarding jehovah's witnesses handling of child abuse is supposed to be streamed.. it could be that the hearing will only be audio not video although we were informed it will be streamed.
we'll find out in a few hours.. i live in the central time zone of the us and right now here it is sunday, 3: 45 pm.
in sydney, australia, it is 15 hours ahead of us.
considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.
2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.
these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.
Excellent post Flipper. This is reckless and dangerous policy.

on the paragraph about meditation in today's study, i gave a comment about "meditating with a view towards mindfulness and awareness of the positive things in our lives.".
afterwards, about 8 people that i rarely talk to in the congregation came up and expressed how much they appreciated that point.. wanted to say, "thank the buddha.
" but didn't have the guts.
Good work Cappytan, I used to enjoy doing this kind of thing too. Bringing in things learned from self-help, psychology and the like is something I used to do to spruce up my comments and talks.

i just watched it on dvd, and holy cow, i can see so many similarities to the watch tower!
i don't want to give anythng away for those who would like to see it, but i really wish the way it ended was a possibility in watch tower world..
I saw it and I so related it to WT. Same with Hunger Games.
hi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!
the thing that gets me now that im enlightened is how little the rank and file know about anything this organazation does!
everything is so secretive and covered up behind a curtain.
It is so good that you're reading this now at 19. When I was 18 I questioned but the only thing I read was the Your Will Be Done On Earth book. That of course just convinced me that the organization was correct about things. Had I had CoC then things would have been different. Mind you it had just been written. But I was too naive to know how to get my hands on it.

posted on a jw site!.
eleven jehovahs witnesses dead and over 45 injured in honduras bus accident.
.. .. atlantis!.
I know this sounds cruel but why didn't Jehovah protect them? Isn't that what they always say is supposed to happen? I mean why would Jehovah allow this?
if you missed these you can get them now.
the yearbooks of the 1970s will be posted soon.. .. click the link by the blue arrow.. .. 1960 yearbook.

My condolences to you Jim. I met Marilyn on a trip we took when I went to Florida some years back. She was a wonderful person.

this was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!
will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.
this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.
Finally, I was wondering when they would do this.
