former witness taking on watch tower graeme hammond from: sunday herald sun april 10, 201112:00ama former jehovah's witness is to launch a private criminal prosecution against the religion's world headquarters.
his action is in protest at its refusal to require church elders to submit to working with children police checks in victoria.
Two comments were published in letters to the editor section of the Sunday Herald Sun April 10,2011 under the heading " Children before religion "" Our report on Jehovah`s Witnesses not requiring police checks before working with children or doorknocking has readers asking why not,when other religions face up to such scrutiny."
Lets keep it in the publics eye.

my last update on my daughter was so good...but it didn't turn out that way.
she was cleared to go back to work, but with limitations... she couldn't lift more than 10 pounds.
her employer wanted her back but wouldn't agree to the lifting restriction.
So sorry to hear this...I hope everything works out well for her. Take care.

I see that this post has been veiwed over 8000 times ,yet I have not seen 1 comment or any replies to the " Sunday Herald " who broke this story , or it`s daily "The Herald Sun " in print regarding this story, I know I sent an e-mail ......,Have any of you ? Nor has their been any comment from any other religous denomination about this anomally. Are we that apathetic ? Or does the fault lie with the media. I`m just curious ....what about you,

Hi guys
this is not just an Australian issue
I would invite all of you ,wherever you live on this earth,to put in your two cents worth,to put pressure on the organization to change their policy on this issue. We have seen in recent months what people power can do ,Egypt Syria etc. etc. If we take a united stand on this issue ,who knows where it may lead to in the future ? lets give it a shot,Voice your concerns and let the general public know about it.

Yes I have contacted Graeme Hammond by e-mail and I shall also, over the next few days contact as many members of parliment I can think of ,bringing this issue to their attention.Not only that I shall also make sure the major newspapers in Australia are aware of this situation. I feel this has the potential to be a real embarassment to the organization,and the more people to speak out ( you and I ) the more "worldly people "will be aware of the dangers of this cult.

thanks for those links,the more people that query why the JW`s refuse to abide by this law,the more pressure is on the WTB&TS.
Also when I was an active MS,in the 70`s-80`s we were encouraged by the G.B. to write to members of Govt. to complain about the injustices treated out to our Bros. & Sis.in lands they were denied basic rights.eg. Malawi .,Greece etc.
Steve Unthank lists a lot of Govt. officials he has contacted ,maybe we could give our added support and also write to these officials putting added pressure on them to take some form of action.

according to an ex-jw who still half-believes in the jws, we're all a bunch of bitter apostates that can't move on.. do you agree?.

B.P.
How can anyone half-beleive in JW`s ??
1874 was the invisible presence of jesus Christ.....they later changed that
1914 All the kingdoms of the world would be destroyed by God1919 No kingdom of the world has been destroyed by God,either then or now 2011
1919 Jesus chooses C.T Russell and his followers as the F.D.S.class because their imparting the right food at the right time
What were they teaching back then ?
"Zions Watchtower and Herald Of Christs Presence " C.T.Russell was a Zionist
The Watchtower began in 1879 and proclaimed Christ`s presence in 1874
On the front page of this magazine was a Masonic symbol the Knights of the Templar
C.T Russell was a Mason
At that time they still celebrated christmas ,birthdays,easter,and USA political days
If they reject all those things now,then Jesus Christ must reject them now,because he accepted them on what they taught in 1919
You cant have it 2 ways

I wouldn`t say I was bitter, just disappointed in myself for being sucked into a cult religion influencing my then girlfreind,who became my wife,producing 2 children, then influencing some relatives,some of who had children to also become JW`s and waste so many years of our lives.Thankfully only one member of that extended family is still a witness,and if I ever get the oppurtunity to get her and her children out I will.

I have a suggestion here to keep this in the publics and politicians eye.
The newspapers article gives graeme Hammonds e-mail address ... [email protected]
Why not send e-mails to him in support of Steven Unthank & question why should all other religions be required to obey this direction,and the WatchTower eg.Jehovah`s Witnesses snub their noses at it.
We all know the squeaky gate is the one that gets oiled
Lets keep this in the public domain highlighting it`s the general publics children who are potentially at risk here with the door to door preaching activity of Jehovah`s Witnesses
