This is rather an unpleasant read yet necessary to take in the extent of Pell's cover up.

The Australian gov has set up the National Redress scheme for victims. Most churches/orgs have joined.
JW org is lagging, nowhere to be seen as yet.
In the state of Victoria the Catholic church was worth more than $9 billion, making it the biggest non-government property owner in the state – and much wealthier than it had admitted in evidence to major inquiries into child sexual abuse.
Figures extrapolated from a huge volume of Victorian council valuation data showed the church had more than $30 billion in property and other assets, Australia wide.I don't think the org can match the Catholic church wealth or the Anglican - I know that most halls and churches of the Anglicans are to be sold off in Tasmania to pay out their victims.
What the org has in real estate wealth here in Australia, kingdom halls, etc - reading through here can only mean they are in dire need to recompense their abuse victims also but telling the rank and file a different story.

North Korean Gift to "American Bastards" for Independence Day
by cofty innk has taken another important step towards having a viable nuclear arsenal with the successful trial of an icbm.. kim jong-un says new missile is 'gift' to 'american bastards' from north korea on independence day.. one major hurdle left for kim jong-un is working out how to make his nuclear bombs small enough to be delivered by the missile.
that is not an insurmountable obstacle.. the us sate department have issued a statement stating that it "will never accept a nuclear-armed north korea".
how exactly to prevent this outcome is not clear.

What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?
by paul from cleveland ini can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.
i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.
i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

ISIS Destruction of Ancient Palmyra Temple
by freemindfade inanyone who has read what happened here, both to the ancient site and also the grizzly murder of antiquity scholar khalid asaad, consider this.
what religious/theocracy on earth now most resembles the stories of "god's chosen people" of the old testament?
probably isis does.

Like others here, I have no contact with JWs anymore - have not spotted them out on the door knocking either in my street.
I do see them sitting at their tables in town with magazines etc. Next time I'll ask them your question.
