royal commission to probe child abuse.
At a Royal Commission anyone can apply to make a submission.
They will appoint a group of M.P's from all partys and they will go around the country takeing subbmissions.
Anyone who has any information regarding child abuse among the J.W's should apply to make one.
This could get interesting.

whith this recent fds and gb debacle i cant think of one teaching that they have not altered since this org began?.
The worlds going to end any day.
One thats never changed.
i seem to remember somebody saying that since the 90's the number of elders has declined from 90000 to 60000. does anybody have any hard figures regarding this?.
the organization is desperate for "qualified" men.
but their standards are much too high, especially the monthly field service hour requirements tagged on to endless meetings and congregational busywork.
They have lowered the bar for being appointed i see Elders who at best are not up to the job.
One had smoked far to much dope in his younger days and was a dreadfull specker and slow in speach used to dribble on.
One was appointed an Elder as he was ripping off alot of bro's ...he was an accoutant and was doing their books.
Ended up doing 2 years inside.
Many are just too old and not up to it but like the statis.

i've seen several posts on various threads about a particular "loyalty question" or two that elders ask during judicial hearings.
granted it's been several years since i was an elder, but i never heard of this practice.
is there anything officially in print on this from the wt?
Phizzy,
They may ask you if you think the govening body is Gods sole channel of comunicating with his people here on earth or something simular.
You can say yes or say any thoughts i have on that matter i would prefure to keep to myself.

pls share, i love these stories!.
We had one bro who was not fully plugged in.
There were 4 pregnent sisters in the congro and he confessed to the Elders he was the father to them all.
One sister who would go home after the service meeting and go from door to door till after midnite.
To many drunks to mention.

were there a lot of elders, ms's and pioneers that should not have had those titles?.
One guy appointed an Elder ( he was an accoutant) he was ripping off bro's & sisters all over the place he did 2 years inside.
One elder(Married) was screwing a sister (she was also married) and was on J.C's D.fing people for imorality.
Too many drunks to mention.

i found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.
our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.
now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.
