Angus asked after deRooy stated that he had only just briefly glanced at the transcripts and documents last night: [paraphrased] Is there a particular reason why you did not look at the documents presented to you for this commission in further detail?
deRooy: [quote] Ummmmm... I suppose... Time.
Angus: [paraphrased] OK You would have saved us all alot of time if you had.

Dufus deRooy and his bumbling blokes (those other elders on the stand).

deRooy: We are not under the Mosaic Law. We are under the law of Christ.
LOL And yet isn't the 2-witness rule part of Mosaic Law????

OOPS! It seems I'm rusty on my JW doctrine...!

Do these 'elders' know of all the WT letters the RC posses?
.
I wonder the same thing. Each elder has the same story. The same lack of recollection. The same arrogance. The same unpreparedness for their presentation. The same non-review of the 'witness packet' provided by the commission to each witness participant.
Why didn't WT attorney(s) change up their strategy? Why are they sticking to the same prep work and letting each of these elders get shredded in the same manner as the others before them??

Village Idiot asked: How many more days will this inquiry last?
According to the official RC website schedule, the JW portion of the hearings is to run for 2 weeks - thus scheduled to end this Friday (Australia local time).

@ possum - the commission website provides a list of witnesses in 'possible' order of appearance. But they do not provide an actual schedule.
@oppostate - Thank you!! I have conducted several searches to no avail. Thank you for the info~!

2 Questions:
#1. What is the estimated start time?
#2. When was Monty Baker's (former JW elder) testimony??
on saturday the elder and his wife turned up.
i have my reasons for not turning them away at the moment, at least, not until the completion of the rc.. i asked him about his thoughts on the rc.
he said that he thought it was easy and nothing to worry about.
the gb needs to be subpenaed to testify just like losch was.
the commission needs to subpena each one individually and make separate fines when each one refuses.
I think one of the biggest and most immediate benefit of this RC is the insight into JW practice and the (mis-)thought and (il-)logic of their processes.
Any current abuse or custody case can be benefited if the attorney/counselor reviewed the findings before showing up on court.
i'm just listening to this so called doctors testimony.
where did the watchtower dig her up from.
her answers have mostly been maybe's and i think!.
Can someone please post a link to DrApplewhite's submission letter to the commission?
I would like to read it.
