public hearing into the jehovahs witnesses .
22 june, 2015 the royal commission will hold a public hearing in sydney commencing on 27 july 2015 at 10:00am.. the scope and purpose of the public hearing is to inquire into:.
1. the experience of survivors of child sexual abuse within the jehovahs witnesses church in australia.. 2. the responses of the jehovahs witnesses church and the watchtower bible and tract society of australia ltd to allegations, reports or complaints of child sexual abuse within the church.. 3. the systems, policies and procedures in place within the jehovahs witnesses church and the watchtower bible and tract society of australia ltd for raising and responding to allegations of or concerns about child sexual abuse within the church.. 4. the systems, policies and procedures in place within the jehovahs witnesses church and the watchtower bible and tract society of australia ltd to prevent child sexual abuse within the church.. 5. any related matters.
It's refreshing to be treated with such care and respect isn't it possum? My daughter and I had the same experience with the prosecutor and victim advocate that handled the case we were involved in. It's complete opposite of how the elders that supposedly loved us treated us...so much for worldly people being evil.
I'm happy you are able to bravely speak up :)

Let's hope this gets some major exposure. It's time for the GB to be worried, I truly believe they know their days of hiding behind religious freedoms when it comes to these crimes are numbered. At least I hope they are!!
i've noticed increasing amounts of jw's are coming off fb and deactivating completely.
all with the same reason which they post about at lenght which is that they wwant to focus more on their spiritual life and not have the distraction of fb.. have i missed something or is this just a coincidence?.

Zelkin Law Firm was the Jose Lopez case as well as others still happening now. Simmons was Candace's lawyer.
I for one think Candace did exactly what she stated she wanted. Because of her lawsuit it is now written as precedence that the Watchtower is indeed responsible for letting a known molester access to a child while out on service and they were responsible for it.
She did her part, now it's time for these other cases to go through the process with hopefully yet more changes to the screwed up policies of the WTS when it come to child molesters.
It's a marathon, not a race!

i have waited for so long to see some sort of justice given to my daughters.
it is far too late for me.
i have the same story as so many do on this site, so i won't bore you.
Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, both of joy for the victory and of sadness for knowing how extremely difficult it must have been standing alone.
Very brave of you and your children!!
I wish you all well.
the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.
i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.
at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?
as many of you on here will know, my sister and myself (along with others we know) were abused by a ms. .
my first memory as a child was of abuse and i've had and still am suffering from the affects due to mental health problems.
the abuser is now dead, but he was jailed for abuse of his own son previously so that nest of vipers will have known he was an abuser.
First, I'm very sorry for what you have been through, I hope you find the justice you are looking for.
many lawyers will take a case they believe is strong enough on a contingency or conditional fee..
A contingent fee (in the United States) or conditional fee (in England and Wales) is any feefor services provided where the fee is payable only if there is a favourable result. In the law, it is defined as a "fee charged for a lawyer's services only if the lawsuit is successful or is favorably settled out of court.... Contingent fees are usually calculated as a percentage of the client's net recovery
