Jehovah's Witness' bid to be excluded from abuse inquiry dismissed
by Tahoe inlink to article.
a legal bid by the jehovah's witness church to get out of being part of the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in care has been dismissed by the high court in wellington.. after nearly three years of behind-the-scenes legal wrangling to avoid scrutiny from the inquiry, the church applied for a judicial review in june.. at a hearing, held earlier this month it argued it was beyond the inquiry's scope because it did not operate institutions that cared for children or vulnerable people and the inquiry had uncovered no evidence of abuse in that context.. lawyers representing the inquiry argued that jehovah's witness elders - equivalent to ministers or pastors - exercised a level of control over the congregation that allowed them access to children.. the inquiry informed abuse survivors who gave evidence to the inquiry in relation to the jehovah's witnesses of the news this afternoon.. "we have received advice from the high court that none of the causes of action brought by the jehovah's witnesses has succeeded and the application for judicial review has been dismissed.
the judge's reasons are not yet available, but are expected in the near future," the email to survivors, seen by rnz, said.. the church was the only faith-based institution in the country to legally challenge its involvement in the inquiry, although it had attempted to challenge its status in other countries where similar inquiries have also been carried out.. the inquiry said, in a statement, that the dismissal "means the royal commission can continue to investigate the jehovah's witnesses, and all other faiths, in accordance with the pastoral care approach we have been applying since 2019".. "reasons for the high court's judgment are not yet available but are expected in the near future.

ExJW PANDA Tower , just uploaded a video.
In light of the developments in Norway and now New Zealand they seem to be really upping the pandering for money concerning wills and estates.
The Borg seems to be getting meaner and more desperate with these developments
They might just induce mandatory tithing ,,,as the Borg may face its demise.

Here is where the Borg wil likely ramp-up its pandering for money & fear mongering.
In light of these New Zealand results.

They'll probably just blame the followers for not providing for themselves and reading too much into things.

Those on the outskirts of the congregation or Borg get little or none for attention,, because of being ill or infirm ..
Unless,,, they are rich,,have wads of material a$$ets or both
From the Mike and Kim channel a year or so back. Mikey eluded to an ""older"" woman in the congregation who became inactive,,not attending or whatever. She was wealthy apparently.
The "brothers" sure didn't hesitate to keep in touch with her,,regularly. He related.

by Teddnzo ineven elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

This Borg as we know it will cease to exist the day the fear and guilt are removed.
Thats the root of the Borgs power & control. Those 2 elements.
