  I just can't get past the teaser video I watched! I can't stop giggling at what made them decide these videos are necessary. Was the laundry department getting just loads of crusty socks (or pillowcases) or what??? LOL

  Thanks, jwleaks. I was thinking they were a summary of their findings. Not what I thought. It would really be nice if they (or someone) could summarize their findings in a nicely formatted brochure. I bet my brochure placement this month would be off the charts.

  this is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).

  first of all, i've left being a jw in june.

  since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.

  Welcome, Dan! Congrats to your new found freedom. Don't let their hateful words get to you. I think most of us have all experienced the same thing from our family. I have also been labeled disgusting, bitter, angry, crazy, and I am sure a host of other labels they come up with. Let their words just roll off your back. The world is full of great people. And now that you've left the Witnesses, you can find them!

  2. friends

  i posted on another thread about a couple of my experiences of meeting the governing body while i was in brooklyn.

  i wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences along these same lines.

  i met most of the ones that were current during the 2001-2003 years.

  I haven't received a response back, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew what documents are available to download for free through the Royal Commission website. I am only listing the documents pictured by jwleaks, plus a few others I think are significant. If you want to browse the entire list of documents available for download, here is the link. It's a lot of information. The "Exhibit" documents are quite interesting. Narrow your search to just exhibits and do a search for "Case Study 29" (use quotation marks). https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/document-library

  Final Report PDF: https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/sites/default/files/final_report_-_preface_and_executive_summary.pdf

  Case Study 29 PDF: https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/sites/default/files/file-list/Case%20Study%2029%20-%20Findings%20Report%20-%20Jehovahs%20Witnesses.pdf

  Other documents I think might be of high interest:

  Supplemental statement by Geoffrey William Jackson provided to the Royal Commission after his testimony: https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/sites/default/files/STAT.0670.001.0001.pdf

  Spreadsheet documenting every single pedophile that the Watchtower had in their files and kept secret. No names. Each one is labeled by perpetrator number and lists A LOT of information like the number of victims, the status of the perpetrator in the congregation, whether there was a confession, and if they were disfellowshipped. This is the first time I have seen this document. I am absolutely horrified. https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/sites/default/files/WAT.0021.001.0001.pdf

  I am thinking I might be able to send the Case Study PDF to a local printing place and have them print a nice hard copy. If they can legally print and bound it for me, I am thinking that would be quite more cost effective than having it mailed from Australia. If I have success, I will let you know.

  I am most interested in those summary brochures pictured. jwleaks, would you mind posting a close up photo of the top of those brochures? I would love to search for them. If those can be mass printed (legally), I think they would be perfect to send to politicians in our country as we try to get the mandatory reporting laws changed.

  That is great! I would love to have a copy of the case study. I found on their website where you can order hard copies. I went through the steps to order it, (with no payment needed; you just request it) and it said my order is "awaiting approval". I doubt I get approved, especially since I live in America, but hopefully, I can ask if I can pay for the printing and shipping.

  pale.emperor:

  This must be the only religion where one can be an accused child molester and keep their position, but if they want to be a doctor or professor you get named and shamed.
  
  

  This is the best way I have I have heard it explained. It sounds so ridiculous when you say it out loud, but there is so much truth in it. It's crazy.
