i posted this as a reply to another thread, but thought it deserved it's own thread to draw attention to this important moment in the day 2 testimony.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl4fobrocc8.
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!
i 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 I were a member of the governing body I'd be there answering those questions.
No greater honour could there be! Here I am send me, send me!! is what I would say. LOL
we 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.
i don't know if a commercial will come up and i can't find this on youtube as it is probably copyright material or i am just not in a good search pattern today.
anyway, try to view this if you haven't seen it:.

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!
this 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?
hi folks.
new here, and growing weary of finding an e-text version of one of the earlier releases of the new world translation.
i have searched high and low, and for some reason, it is as if it does not exist.. i'm catholic, but for research purposes and as a courtesy to jws, i've put the 1984 and the 2013 versions in a database format for e-sword (e-sword.net).
Welcome Pieta House
You being Catholic will fit right in with all of the Mentally Diseased on this board.
(let me know if anyone thinks my assumptions are way out of line, or if i've forgotten anything).
basic facts:.
the australian royal commission has 1000+ documented cases of child abuse over 65 years.
Is that not the same as the German Nazis who lamented when discovered "We followed orders"
I was thinking that too notoneoftheboys. No Oscar Schindlers there.
the information provided by the watchtower to the royal commission is turning out to be a gold mine, you can find almost anything related to jws in australia.. want to know the names, addresses, birth dates and appointment dates of the office holders at bethel in australia?.
name of the document: .
asic current and historical extract.
