  For any victims of abuse by Elders/Watchtower

  if you are still holding on to your story and struggling alone please, please consider speaking up now.

  the australian royal commission into child abuse has shown that these enquiries are not toothless and can in fact make a difference, but only if they are empowered by brave individuals like you.. now it's the turn of the uk.

  yes, there's been a few false starts but now is the time to tell them what happened.

  Being brave and talking about the abuse serves three purposes. It will most importantly get a predator off the streets. Secondly it will expose these awful policies practiced by the WT. Third, although I was never sexually abused but suffered sever physical and emotional abuse as a child and adult, I dealt with it as a previous poster stated by putting it behind me and ignoring it. At the age of 65 there was one trigger that set everything in motion and all the memories. It is now taking a major toll on me and for the first time I am having to actually confront and deal with it through serious therapy.

  If this lady were in a KH, I would dial 911 in a heart beat if that went on.

  When I raised my children and now I watch my grandchildren 5 days a week all I do is say their names get their attention and say "I just don't think you want to be doing THAT". After a while all I have to do is say their name and they know to change what they are doing. I never hit my kids and I do not plan to hit my grandkids.

  Those who hit someone smaller then them are bullies.

  Zeb,

  Do we have a list of performers? Well I guess I should say WT people who will be testifying but as we all know it will turn into a theoretical performance of lies upon lies. They will use all forms of verbal gymnastics to avoid answering any question directly.

  on the door frame, on the door, door knocker, bell.. loud, very loud, regular, soft... gentle... or just pretended and never knocked at all?

  we just had a city worker come a knocking on our front door and my responce after she left was, she should go down to the local kingdom haul and give lessons.

  her knock was so loud, she could raise the dead.

  Never a JW and before I knew what the JW was all about. I had a very large sign next to my door that said Absolutely no solicitation. For some reason theymanaged to target my house in the month of January well this is a very heavy TAX month and I work from home and my patience is all but gone. Single mom with 2 teenagers, who thinks I am their personal chauffeur on a moments notice while working close to 80 hours a week. I don't have time for some fools who as I open the door I point out very bluntly while pointing to the sign the library offers classes in reading, I am extremely busy in my office and I do not need what you are selling. Their response was we are here to share a Bible reading. My response find me 8 husbands to help keep up with all the stuff that "I" need to fix and do in this house and can't find the time to do. Boy did they exit the property fast.

  I am so sorry you were involved in this accident. I hope everything will be ok with your hand.

  Simon, you got a few dislikes for your comment there. Honesty here! How many speeding tickets have you gotten? How many accidents have you been involved in?

  Fisherman,

  Do you not have a brain nor any critical thinking skills? WT obviously has now admitted she is the victim and they are at fault or why else would they had settled out of court?

  Read that rediculous transcript the WT people have no clue how to come into a court room and tell the truth. What a joke.

  The word is RESPECT if about a 100 years ago this organization started showing proper respect for children and women they might not be in this situation today. Just a Wordly Woman's point of view.

  Carla,

  Wouldn't it be nice if this was on video and this idiot's performance claiming he knew nobody to one lawyer and then when the next lawyer ask the same question he seems to know all the names. AND He turns out to be one of the officers. Now that part should make national media, what fools they would look like!!

  I also say thank you for this post.

  I hope she settled for a very large sum of money.

  As a Wordly person, who watched every minute of the ARC and just read all of this, I am appalled by their behavior. The gymnastics that the lawyers and the judges must go through to get answers from these fools is insane. First he had no clue who the people are who publishes these letters and materials and who is in charge of the organizations then under cross examination he knew all the names wait is one of them. Just plain sick!!

  The way I see it :

  JWS say apostates are mentally ill.

  Apostates say thosestill stuck in are mentally ill.

  This Worldy lady says anyone who is not awake and holds a position of Elder straight up the line is mentally ill after these performances. These have been some pretty sick performances if you ask me. If what I have seen on the witness stands at the ARC and this and other trials is what the Witnesses have to offer it is pretty sad!! I sure would not want them representing any organization that I am involved with running or associated.

  For any lurkers this is where your donations are going and I am mighty sure this is not the last one.

  For those of you wanting to file a claim against the WT and CCJW pursue it into the court almost guarantee they will make fools of themselves.
