Just before the morning adjournment in the Australian proceedings the judge played an absolute blinder.
He asked the elder as in Deuteronomy would the Jehovah's Witnesses stone a woman for committing adultery?!

so, i am back at it.
i give you day 5 of the royal commissions proceedings:.
part 1 has been uploaded and part 2,3 and 4 will soon be available.. part 1:.
I think the watchtower lawyer is signalling quite a lot when I'm looking at him. Now I know he is the watchtower lawyer I'm going to go through all the other videos again to see if he is directing all the elders.
So far he's done piss poor job!
during the week i was able to download some of the transcripts of the proceedings direct from .
https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au.
but i cannot find them on their site now, (weekend).. are they still available or going to be?.
i know that in english there are better pages exposing the organization, but here i updated the page (in spanish) with an article untitled "la organizacion jehovista oculta el abuso sexual" (the jehovist organization hides sexual abuse) based on the last news on "child abuse" in australia, and quoting watchtower's articles in which you can note how in this organization, the penitent pedophiles are in better position than the "apostates" who denounce the organization's absurdities .. http://jehovismo.com/.
for instance, i quoted the watchtower 1997 jan 1 p.29, where it is said that it is permitted for the penitent pedophile to preach door to door:.
if he seems to be repentant, he will be encouraged to make spiritual progress, share in the field service, even have parts in the theocratic ministry school (the watchtower, january 1, 1997).
Reading the letters that have been released by the Royal Commission it's clear to see the assailant was a sociopath bordering on psychopathic behavior. I say bordering because he wasn't just at that stage yet. A sociopath threatens to harm to try and silence the victim whilst coming across as a victim and blaming his bad behavior on everyone but himself! A psychopath carries the threat to its ultimate end!
Reading the letters from the assailant, he blamed his wife for having multiple affairs when it was in fact him who was playing away. he also pleaded for absolution, there was absolutely no sign of remorse for the vile acts he did.
I have not read all of then yet but what I have seen is mostly blaming the victim and that includes elders. In one letter, one of the elders involved actually goes all out and blames the victim, using the fact she had stopped going to the meetings! I really hope those elders involved are going to be charged and sentenced to prison. they deserve everything they get, the lies they have told so far have not gone unnoticed by the commission!
much 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.
Dr Applewhite stated the only reference she had were publications. Personally I think the watchtower pulled the age old trick of information control. They only produced positive (in the watchtowers opinion) material, little did both the watchtower and Dr Applewhite know the commission had really done it's homework. leaving this cult with its tale between its legs.
It's been a long time coming, but finally the smug attitude of the watchtower is coming to an end.
Train wreck alert!
yay! Anti climax i know but hey ho! ;)
