To me it seems counter-intuitive that all of the cases will not be investigated. Where a Pedo strikes once and gets away with it there's a good chance he'l do it again. Remember if they are not investigated at least, the Royal Commission would be just as guilty as the ones whom they are investigating now. Who knows where these investigations that are sure to happen will lead and what the fall out will be.

How many of the 1.006 alleged abusers will be investigated by Police?
by Listener inthe commission has the names of 1,006 alleged abusers within australian congregations since 1950. some will have died and others will already have been prosecuted but the branch did not report any of these allegations to police.. the terms of reference for the royal commission is more about redress for the victims but that can include criminal prosecution although they are more focused on financial compensation.. however, now that they have the names of 1,006 potential criminals there is some responsibility to see that they are dealt with criminally.
it appears to be in their authority to have cases followed through by referring them for further investigation.
this is clear because the commissioner has recently reported that to date, they have done so in 493 cases identified within the scope of their commission.

Come on GB where are you - would Jesus hide away while his poor foot soldiers got the blame for his actions? Would Jesus leave victims hanging with no support or love?
I am thinking the same thing.
If I were a member of the governing body Wild horses wouldn't be able to hold me back from testifying and coming to the aid of those under me! I am sure god's sole channel of communication (the GB) will put all of those lawyers to shame.

Poor bastard!! I feel sorry for him. He's been thrown under the bus by his gurus!
There's a part of me that feels sorry for him too a bit. But it soon recedes when I think of the child abuse that's behind this Royal commission. I agree he is just cannon fodder.

Just watched it again. Absolutely disgusting! Every JW should see that snippit.
If you saw someone about to fall off a cliff wouldn't you try to save them? If you saw a worldly child about to be victimized by a disfellowshipped pedofile would you try to warn them? ------------Ah Ah only if they were a friend of mine otherwise the hell with them!

Royal Commission....don't worry it will not go away...
by umbertoecho ini need to let you know that here in australia the royal commission is alive and well.
people are aware of it and whilst it may not be on the front page of your newspaper, it will end up there at some stage.
although the elders are trying to squirm out of any culpability they are inevitably high jacked by their own arrogant assertions when they start to feel a degree of safety and ease in the questioning.

If Disfellowshipping pedophiles protects the congregation, what does it do for "Those Outside" they are expelled to?
by Wasanelder Once inwe all know the wt basis for disfellowshipping, (1 corinthians 5:9-13) 9 12 for what do i have to do with judging those outside?
do you not judge those inside, 13 while god judges those outside?
remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves.. if removing "the man" is a protection for the congregation and no police are called, what does it say about the witnesses view of the world?

41:40 - 44:30 touches on the very point that you raise, however it is not accurate to view someone that gets disfellowshipped from the congregation and is then somehow is sent out into the world and is now a threat. The risk is just the same to the worldly kids from this person as it was before his getting disfellowshipped.
Deer in the headlights moment for sure! Worldly people don't need, protection from pedofiles, the worldly people are going to be destroyed anyway at Armageddon, every witness knows that.
I wonder what's going through their minds as they answer questions like that.

The Body shall publicy apologize for the happenings like the Pope did, which will be broadcasted on the own TV-channel to reach the whole world with the Bodys' apologize before their brothers and sister worldwide.
You or I will never live long enough to see that. God's sole channel of communication with the low life R&F and the mentally diseased does not apologize. TSK, TSK.....

The wonder of you : Another idea would be to create special therapy centers for JW abusers, where they can go to the assemblies and preach to each other, but not from house to house
That's a good idea the witnesses with their own pedophile section at assemblies where all the preverts could assemble and collude with one another. The society could print a little guide book and they'd all be happy as one big inclusive family. I am surprised the GB hasn't already thought of that!

Child abuse a sin not a crime to JW's
by snare&racket inthis australian investigation is astounding to watch.. the elders clearly don't see child abuse as criminal, if a jw confessed to murder, the police would immediately be called.
yet child rape is a spiritual issue..... ridiculous.. this is what happens when 7 window cleaners lead a bunch of dangerously loyal, ignorant middle aged men ...... in managing 7 million people..

Heaven: Some of my family members on my Mom's side are JWs. I wonder if they even know about this stuff being that they are in Canada.
The media in Canada the CBC et al use to try and segregate the Canadian populace by invoking Canadian content rules on media content happenings around the world and especially the evil US. It doesn't work anymore for the most part thanks to the information superhighway.

will this issue continue to grow worldwide- particularly in America and Europe? I mean, the average U.S. witness would never hear about something in Australia,
I don't know I watched PBS News hour last night they had a little story about the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints and the Boy scouts. If this story was going to hit the main stream media in the states I would expect to see reference to it on PBS. It remains to be seen what will happen here in North America?
