  the royal commission published it's redress report today.

  it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.

  all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.

  The Redress scheme also will lay out a framework for Civil Litigation:

  "Recommendations

  96. Government and non-government institutions that receive, or expect to receive, civil claims for institutional child sexual abuse should adopt guidelines for responding to claims for compensation concerning allegations of child sexual abuse.

  97. The guidelines should be designed to minimise potential re-traumatisation of claimants and to avoid unnecessarily adversarial responses to claims.

  98. The guidelines should include an obligation on the institution to provide assistance to claimants and their legal representatives in identifying the proper defendant to a claim if the proper defendant is not identified or is incorrectly identified.

  99. Government and non-government institutions should publish the guidelines they adopt or otherwise make them available to claimants and their legal representatives."

  All the evidence provided to the RC will be admissible during Civil litigation proceedings. In this regard the WT has to choose between costly lawsuits or a costly redress scheme.

  Rock and a hard place.

  The Commission is the highest problem solving body in Australia. It's recommendations have been made after consulting many institutions. The recommendations it makes are very likely to be fulfilled.

  The costs of redress have been endorsed by many churches and state governments. Have a look at the report and you will see submissions from them all.

  Is this a subtle clue that the leaders really see the "great tribulation" of the WT coming soon?

  similarly, we cannotexpect that the future interruption inthe great tribulation will result in aninflux of new believers.

  rather, it willbe an opportunity for all true believersto prove their love for jehovah andgive their support to christs brothers.. (par.

  7, page 16, wt july 2015).

  Just after your quote, there was this gem too:

  In the first century, Christians had to leave behind their possessions and endure hardships in order to survive. (Mark 13:15-18) To remain faithful, will we be willing to experience material loss? Will we be ready to do whatever is required of us to prove our loyalty to Jehovah?

  
  

  Hmmm, would you give up your material possessions? What if the Org. asked for your "valuable things?"

  Jehovah said he will start the cleaning from his own house

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this very popular quote came back to my mind today when i was thinking about what jws in the third world country where i live would do if they should hear about the australian abuse story.

  this has been the one explains-it-all, excuses-it-all phrase to respond to nasty things going on in "god's house".. if they should hear about the story, they would just nod, say that phrase and add the sentence that traditionally accompanies it: it is because he is well aware that there are rotten elements in his house, so we shouldn't be surprised...and then they will move on with merrily.

  end of story.

  This defense is actually very beneficial to you.

  
  

  1. Jehovah only punished Israel after that had become apostate and were leaving true worship. By saying "god is cleaning his Org" they are admitting that the Org is Apostate. (they cannot say that everything is perfect, and also claim that things need to change)

  
  

  2. Jehovah released them from suffering after they had repented and reformed their ways, Will the Org change it's bad ways?
  

  3. In bible times the Nations (Assyria, Egypt, Babylon) did not come to correct the worship of Israel, they were simply a tool for punishment. Why is Satan's System correcting God's Org? Why are the Nations stepping in and telling us the correct way to worship?

  Be interesting to see if this comes true!

  Maybe make a sealed letter, seal it with wax and your fingerprint and your Wife's fingerprint.

  If it happens, open the letter and voila!

  i have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.

  is it any use making a profile to get in?

  mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.

  Email to Royal Commission on Lies

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  i wrote this email today to the royal commission:.

  dear royal commission:.

  i am writing you to tell you that many of the jehovah's witnesses who have testified have lied to the commission under oath, and they have done so with ease because of what they have been taught through their publications.

  It is a good email, but i will point out that both Justice McClellan and Angus Stewart fully understand how much they lied. These are both very clever and wise men, they could see through the usual rubbish very easily.

  Here is where Ron De Rooy was caught out lying, and he has to lie even more. (He claimed he cant remember the allegations)
