  sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.

  i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.

  he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.

  For those of you "not baptised" and too afraid to front the RC. WT is hoping you won't come forward.

  hello to those following what is going in australia with our royal commission.. i want to let all those abused, neglected, shunned and blamed that i understand why you may not front the rc.

  the wtbts is hoping you will consider yourself an invalid complainant, because you are not or were not.....baptised.

  if you were abused at a young age and you told on your dad or the bad man that did it.......you would have been taken aside by the overseer and read scriptures about lying and being immoral; even if you didn't know what that word meant.

  I am so sorry for what you have been through. Your bravery will prevent children in the future suffering as you did with the help of the RC. We owe ALL survivors a debt of gratitude for highlighting the hypocracy of the WTBTS, its ancient backward tribal rules must be challenged by all compassionate, rational humans.

  Noone with insight can think their responsibility stopps with baptised kids only, thats ludacrous. Much love D-Sister

  Me too, I relate to that possum, nice to meet you, I also had my eyes opened by a fabulous philosophy uni course. Forever grateful to thr Open University..saved my life. I am sorry for your suffering and that of your family, especially your mum, my father too is an alcoholic. Your Dad I feel probably uses the wtbts as an emotional crutch..considering the hell he must have been through.

  PS for an inspirational humanist film watch Chris Nolans Interstellar, just saw it highly recommended!

  As always many thanks to COntr013r

  Barbara Anderson should be forwarded for a nobel award, her personal integrity and hard work for victims of abuse is peerless.

  royal commission examines jehovah witnesses cover-up.

  newsaug 1, 2015. martin mckenzie-murray the jehovahs witnesses fiercely literal reading of the bible has distanced them from the law and politics, but the royal commission into child sexual abuse is ending that..

  Fantastic article, who is this guy - he has nailed the whole set up. Mean who demand respect but are too feable minded to answer basic questions- bang on! They proudly state they nothing about the work of the Royal Commission, not because they can't be bothered to inform themselves but because they fear the Governing Body will consider it too close to an involvement in 'worldly affairs and govt agencies'

  The Governing Body are too cowardly to admit responsibility, common humanity is abandoned in the quest to promote THE FICTION THAT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARE ORGANIZED BY HOLY SPIRIT AND IS GOD'S OWN SOCIETY.

  Woman officially given access to Elders book!

  Thats excactly my thought - the irony ! If she had been a witness they would not have hired her!!!

  They obviously couldn't find a man qualified and willing to perjure themselves!

  Hmm..is that telling you something GB?! Perhaps women have got something to say regarding the best care & welfare of children!!!

  Expert witnesses are indeed a dime a dozen. The scandal in Britain over Sir Roy Meadows in the Sally Clark S.I.D.S. murder trial shone a spotlight on the tragic consequences of setting much store in their testimony.

  Many many thanks for the uploads COntr013r

  back again since about 10yrs ago.

  last year attended the international convention in new orleans and was feeling some type of way afterwards.

  went to a couple of meetings and then the thrill was gone.

  There are no ministries or humanitarian efforts to help society at large. The neutrality issue is an excuse to not put effort to fight for justice on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves, to seek justice for the marginalized, to ensure justice for the abused. ]

  And don't forget the whole 'the universe was created for us humans, animals suffer because we sinned they don't matter we ARE THE WORLD 'ideology behind the whole JW thought process. Its so bloody CONCIETED!!! All the creator of billions of galaxies (maybe even universes) cares about is whether you managed to place a magazine today.Or whether you wear a pair of leggings to go running.

  Do you feel vindicated by the exposure of the WT Society in Australia? It seems like a feeding frenzy on here! I love it. You?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  are you pleased with the exposure of the society in australia?

  do you feel personally vindicated by it?

  do you think it gives you credibility with others now that all the things you said were going on, actually are documented?

  or me, the recurring thoughts are centred on respect for Barbara Anderson and the steps she made. I wonder how far behind we would be without her and silent lambs. 15 years ago she initiated this huge exposure and I can't imagine

  I couldn't agree more. She has been dedicated to this cause for many years now, and suffered terribly because of her integrity.
