The WTBTS of Australia WAS included in the action. They were the ONLY entity with a lawyer in the previous hearings.

Are Australian court reporters on strike or something? I still don't get why there wouldn't be a transcript. Isn't there ALWAYS a transcript in all court sessions?

by Mickey mouse inhttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=utf8&msa=0&msid=116388890922269468211.0004938b3329a3f3d0927&ll=54.876607,1.538086&spn=13.940068,39.506836&z=5.
i've created a map in google maps for people to mark their location, you don't have to put your real identity if you don't want to.. you need to sign in with a google account, click the 'edit' button and then drop a marker on your location.
add a photo if you like!.

Looking at the first response to this thread I think I see a little irony.

Self-shunning Syndrome / The Prime Directive
by cedars ini've recently been reunited with some close family and friends having been away from them for some time in another country.
to begin with, i was a little apprehensive as to how they would treat me.
they don't know the extent of my feelings or knowledge (or what i've been up to!

Welcome to the world of the fader.
Don't worry, eventually they'll shun you like a bad case of the Klingons and you'll have an entirely new set of issues to deal with.
I strongly recommend therapy to ex-JWs for good reason. Cult recovery doesn't just happen spontaneously.

Should i break up???
by Dudu ini need advice specially from those wise women and men from this forum, who has been in a relationship for long time.
here is my situation, i am dating a guy for 4 months now and everything was going smooth, but since a month ago , he is been going out with some friends.... my boyfriend only has 2 full days off during the month , every other sunday, last day off he went all day with his friends to the beach and i was ok with that, but today he is calling me to ask me if i am ok with him going with his friends again all day to the beach.
we dont go out that much and maybe we go out one time a week and is for dinner or something like that, i dont think of myself as clingy but i dont like this pattern...... should i break up?

Why are you dating a guy who doesn't want to be around you?
Move on.

The answer to that question is "we don't know yet, but Mr. Unthank and the Australian branch and congregation elders do" and that is one of the things this trial is going to answer. It is one of the things that makes this important. The primary importance of this case is to protect children from the Watchtower's pedophile protection rules. The secondary importance is to get documentation of where the organizations various entities stand in relation to each other.
