Aussies - Need help, getting the news over here

by In_between_days in

to everyone from australia,.

i have viewed the recent airings on both bbc panorama and dateline, and was extremely disturbed and tearful from the child abuse cases.

i must add also, that although i had heard alot about the child abuse, it was extremely shocking to have it proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, and to also watch the gb's cowardly response to the case.. i know this will make a huge impact on my jw freinds, and am very keen to get the story over here on perhaps "60 minutes" being the most relevant show.

I have already been talking to my Australian media contacts and they are going to watch the overseas programs first before taking it any further.

Anyone who was abused, if you wish, contact me privately, let me know if you are willing to talk publicly (even disguised if necessary) etc etc,. The more people we have here who have experienced the same the more interested they will be. I don't need to know all the details at this stage - only that you were abused and it was not handled properly.

I will keep your details in an encrypted file if you feel more secure that way.

Am I the only one here from Perth WA?

by Cath in

i am just getting the courage to post again after being offline for some time.

since i last posted there has been a lot of activity with newbies joining at quite an astounding pace so i find it amazing that there seems to be no newbies from western australia.

perth is said to be the most isolated capital city in the world and it sure feels like it at the moment.

Jang

Cath, I will look up my list and put you in contact (and vice versa) with the others I know over there in the far west. Will write privately.

1. Family Bible study/meal where husband is non-JW and present.

Otherwise they may get food poisoning????????

2. Conducting a Bible study with baptized son.

3. Offering a prayer where her baptized son is present.

Even if the child is only 10 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Leading a midweek field service group.

Lest they meet a householder who stumbles them

5. Conducting a study with a baptized male present.

6. Conducting a study with unbaptized brother present.

The King Is Dead. Long Live The Queen.

its strange how you can always remember where you were when you first learn about a cataclysmic event.

9-11 being the most recent case, or 11-9 in the uk.

theres been other times, of course, jfks assassination being the most well recalled event up until the wtc affair.. but, i can actually remember what i was doing at this very hour 50 years ago to the day.

It’s strange how you can always remember where you were when you first learn about a cataclysmic event. 9-11 being the most recent case, or 11-9 in the UK. There’s been other times, of course, JFK’s assassination being the most well recalled event up until the WTC affair.
But, I can actually remember what I was doing at this very hour 50 years ago to the day. I was 5 years old, school was over, and I was walking down Bradford Road in Farnworth, Lancashire, intent on playing tig with the big boys gang that was run by 6 year old Jimmy Robinson.

I can remember where I was too ..... Seems we are the same age too.

It was morning here and I was on the back verandah where my mother was putting DDT in my hair for the latest creature infestation (nits) and our next door neighbour yelled out to my mother and told her that it had just come over the news that the King had just died.

My mother immediately forgot about my infestation and sat down and cried her heart out and I finished the job on my head.

Unforgettable
