Question from Commission: Regarding physical discipline of children, what guidance does the church provide so parents know how far they can go?
Me Ali: We have our magazines...

LAME responses.
The live feed is rather riveting for me, as a former JW.

Thanks for heads up. I tuned in just in time. It was about a 4-minute segement.
I wish reports and reporters would be clearer that the 1006 files are ONLY for Australia. Worldwide, the number has not been officially disclosed.

i have just finished listening to this man jackson.
i remember him well.

Shocking. I missed the stream and hope I can find a copy of the audio AND video of this.

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.
tornintwo reported on the hearing: "...They also highlight the instructions in the book to 'put the accused at ease' whilst there is no counsel to assist the accuser/victim...."
.
Wow.

paedophiles repeatedly promoted to positions of authority in jehovahs witness church royal commission told.

counsel assisting the royal commission, angus stewart sc has told the royal commission that church elders could now face criminal charges.
@jwleaks: I thought so. But wanted to verify. Thank you!
@tornintwo: Thank you. The numbers are kind of astounding, anyway you cut it. It's not just the abuse itself, but the cover-up. The 'wait on Jehovah'. Don't bring reproach upon Jehovah by 'reporting' the incident.

QUESTION: Regarding the "1006 allegations of child sex abuse made against church members since 1950"... Is this just for Australia? or is this figure Worldwide?

im going by memory, so not an exact quote...i believe this was around 2002, at the crownsville assembly hall (now sold from what i understand)..
he said basically: some people watch an hour show and give up the faith that theyve had for decades..
the impact of this show was like a canon being shot into a swimming pool.
I had been inactive for a decade as a walk-away believer, but the story rang so true to me even then. A very important component that led to me becoming more 'Awake' to the workings of the organization.
Thank you for re-posting the video.

PS: Funny how the word 'organization' now makes me bristle when used in conjunction in a spiritual connotation. The JWs have many of the right words for how they run their Business. Somehow, we were all programmed to see those (secular) business words as special, favored religious concepts.
