  My personal favorite exchange last night was when they were discussing young people getting baptized. Jackson said he knows witnesses that were baptized as young as 11 and have stayed faithful to the organization all their life. Mr. Stewart replied something to the effect of........"Yes, isn't that because there is no way to leave?"

  Billy's comments to the RC #1 - "We always require at least two witnesses... except for when we don't."

  i'm still trying to catch up on the rc broadcast posted to youtube, and i haven't been able to keep up with everything discussed here about it.

  however, there have been a few points that i wish i could submit.

  repeatedly it has been stated that unless there is a confession, jcs can only act on testimony if it is corroborated by two or more witnesses to the wrongdoing.

  i guess this article will be appreciated within the jw community, being on the positive side when discussing blood transfusion.

  it is the first of three articles to be published in that prestigious magazine.. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-jehovahs-witnesses-are-changing-medicine.

  The recent Royal Commission hearings have stirred up my emotions ....

  i hope the royal commission will be able to force the jw organization to take a serious look at itself ,and will cause some much needed changes.. i have been following the trial faithfully ,and unfortunately it has dredged up some deep pains from years ago .

  you think some of that old baggage is neatly packed away never meant to see the light of day again .....but then boom there it is again .. hearing what bcg had to go through, and how she felt trying to get help from the elders was heart-wrenching.

  i remember the terrible way young women were treated in the 1970's .

  Dear Troubled Mind....I so feel your pain. This whole Australian Commission has brought up old pain that I too thought was put away forever. When Angus said the words "Captive organization", it literally took the wind out of me. I started sobbing and choking almost uncontrollably. These were my first tears in many, many years.

  Why did Mr. Loesch feel it was justified to not appear in a court of law when his great depth of knowledge and understanding were very much needed?

  Questions Regarding All Those Lawyers

  by Magwitch in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.. has every elder called to the stand had his own personal attorney?

  it certainly appears this way.

  if this is the case, how are they able to afford this?

  Thank you Mephis. That makes sense. It is interesting that Baker has his own personal attorney. I wonder if that is at his own expense.

  Freddo, that is what I am trying to figure out. But, if it is a Watchtower legal team, then why would some of them be attacking Toole and other Wt figures?

  Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.

  Has every elder called to the stand had his own personal attorney? It certainly appears this way. If this is the case, how are they able to afford this? By the appearance of the first five, it is dubious whether they can even afford a proper dentist.

  Monty Baker's lawyer went after Toole. Is this because these elder's lawyers are trying to place the blame on the branch?

  You really think you are going to outsmart this Oxford Rhodes Scholar with your Watchtower University education?
