Vincent Toole is a snake oil salesman (no offense to those in that particular industry). He always used to give the last talk at every DC and whip up the audience in anticipation for the next DC and spend 10 minutes giving "glowing" proof of Jahs blessings on the borg. He loved it when the audience would clap after every sentence he uttered, meaning his talk would always finish late. He is a wanker. Cant wait to see him exposed...

Will Vincent Toole speak the truth to the Royal commission?
by Splash invincent toole has a history of stating blatant untruths in order to protect the wt.. he is recorded as once saying that shunning was "a myth".. i wonder how linguistically pedantic will he get, and how much double-speak will he employ in order to defend the current wt policies.
my guess is he will try to twist the senior counsel in knots with wordy responses, in the hope they will simply run out of time.. if this fails then i'm expecting some howlers of deception..

Family gathering before disfellowshiping
by Mattieu inif you were/are in the sydenham (melbourne/victoria) congo you may be very familiar with this a few years back.
a prominent elder who likes the sound of his own voice (hint, his initials are william saad) yes of quite a well connected family, was on a judicial committee who was disfellowshiping one of his own male relatives for repeated marijuana usage.. this story by the way shows how corrupt the whole system is.
as williams family (elders and c/o) had covered up the previous few sorrid outcomes of his drug usage, they couldn't contain the last public viewing of his drug dependency, witnessed by many witnesses ironically... so they held a jc to disfellowship him.

If you were/are in the Sydenham (Melbourne/Victoria) congo you may be very familiar with this a few years back. A prominent elder who likes the sound of his own voice (hint, his initials are William Saad) yes of quite a well connected family, was on a judicial committee who was disfellowshiping one of his own male relatives for repeated marijuana usage.
This story by the way shows how corrupt the whole system is. As Williams family (elders and c/o) had covered up the previous few sorrid outcomes of his drug usage, they couldn't contain the last public viewing of his drug dependency, witnessed by many witnesses ironically... So they held a JC to disfellowship him. His outcome was determined even before the JC as William announced to those that worked with him (elders and ms, yes I was one of them, and I don't care if that gives away who I am William) that they were going to disfellowship him even before they sat down with him (so much for fair trial and relying on the big J spirit).
But before they announced it, they organised (yes William Saad was one of the organisers) a huge family farewell dinner - over 100 of the close Saad/Sadi family in attendance in western Melbourne, all knew he was going to be disfellowshipped in the coming week. Multiple elders and one c/o in attendance. When questioned by one ms as to the appropriateness of such a farewell d/f dinner, William said that's how middle eastern families are, they knew it would be 12 months before they could associate together again with him...
So they held a feast in his pre-disfellowshipping honour....
PS - it was also because of William Saad I discovered this website.... He was the elder who left JWN open on his office computer one day... when asked about it, he mentioned (as an ex bethelite) that him and a few of his bethel mate elders monitored and reported back to his brother in law c/o about what they picked up. That and the fact he was suspicious of someone in Glenroy cong who was posting on this site - and has since left!
So many stories to tell....

Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?
by PokerPlayerPhil init's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.
in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.
you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

I write this without reading all the posts here except the 1st page (agreed Smiddy). I watched the news about Baltimore here in Australia 16 hours ago over breakfast with my13 year old daughter.
She understood the need to protest and why they are protesting, but she asked, why they would loot and burn their own neighbourhood businesses down??
Too many professional protest groups hijack local causes. Good on the Baltimore Mum shown on the news here giving her son a dressing down for getting involved in the riots...

International Conventions = $$$$. WTBT$ in bed with South Korean government
by Mattieu ini remember the whole process of selecting a host city for australias last international convention.
the australian bethel played the nsw government against the victorian.
it was so similar to choosing an olympic city and the big boys from bethel knew how to play the game.

Conventions, Kingdom Halls, Relief Funds, and Other Financial Scams and Schemes of Jehovah’s Witnesses
