9news Report on the Royal Commission Hearing. WOW!
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.9news.com.au/national/2015/07/27/03/35/jehovah-s-witnesses-face-inquiry.
jehovah's witnesses destroyed notes about child sexual abuse to stop them falling into the wrong hands and to "protect their wives", a church elder has told a national hearing in sydney.. the opening day of a royal commission hearing into abuse within the controversial church has heard how more than 1000 cases of child abuse since 1950 were dealt with internally and never reported to police.. it has also heard that victims were made to confront their abusers and left feeling as if they had sinned.. max horley was an elder for the jehovah's witness congregation in narrogin, western australia, in the late 1980s when a woman, known as bcb, was interviewed about her relationship with another church elder, bill neill.. in evidence on monday, bcb told how neill, who is dead, groomed her from the age of 15. he would tongue kiss her and spy on her when she was in the shower at his home.. when the abuse was revealed, she was asked to attend meetings where on one occasion the abuser joked about what he had done.. .

Excellent, JWL! With this information in the public record it will be harder for two faced Tony the Turd to claim these abusive practices are just lies. The truth about the truth is out there.

When you pair this investigation up with the current WT push to baptise minors, the whole thing looks very nefarious.
The whole indoctrination of the young is a sick pattern used by WT higher-ups since the days of Rutherford. And the grooming of the young by older men pre-dates that with Russell fondling his not-really "adopted" waif while she sat on his lap as reported by Russell's own wife. In practice the WT leadership has perpetuated the use and abuse of minors for their own sick pleasure and profit.

Cossacks attack, throw stones at Jehovah's Witnesses
by Nina Achmatovahttp://www.asianews.it/news-en/Cossacks-attack,-throw-stones-at-Jehovahs-Witnesses-34845.html
Moscow (AsiaNews) – Some Cossacks stormed a Jehovah's Witnesses gathering in the city of Krymsk, in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar. They disrupted the meeting and threw stones at participants, this according to online news website newsru, which cited the Sova Centre, a Russian information and analysis think tank on racism and xenophobia.
The congress was scheduled for 10-12 July at Krymsk stadium. Participants came from the city of Krymsk itself as well as Anapa, Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk.
According to eyewitness accounts, police officers with the Cossacks arrived on the morning of 11 July to ensure public order. Suddenly, the lights were turned off, but the public remained calm until generators were brought in and activities resumed.
Less than an hour later however, the Cossacks began throwing stones at the faithful, putting at risk the safety of those present, as the Jehovah's Witnesses reported in a statement.
"In the end, the meeting was suspended and the faithful went home before the congress could finish. On the third day, finally, it was not possible to celebrate the service, as planned," read the statement.
Jehovah's Witnesses accuse the Cossacks of violating their right to religious freedom and slammed the police for doing nothing to prevent the attack.
The local Prosecutor's Office tried to justify the action against the congress by claiming that the more than 1,500 participants had started an unauthorised procession.
"The Prosecutor is trying to justify the unjustifiable," some Witnesses said, noting that they did not hold a procession since the event was held in a closed environment with songs, prayers and preaching the Bible.
For the Witnesses, "Under the existing law, unlike activities in a public place, there is no need to notify officially the authorities if they are conducted indoors. By organising the congress in the stadium, believers followed the law to the letter.”
For years, Jehovah's Witnesses have faced a number of legal issues in Russia. In March 2015, a court in Krasnodar region described the local community as extremist and ordered the seizure of its local assets. In December 2014, the Supreme Court ruled their website and that of three other religious groups as “extremist”.
Jehovah's Witnesses are among the religious minorities in the former Soviet Union that have had to endure discrimination the most.
Although only some 200,000 across in the Russian Federation, they have been accused of sectarianism, "religious extremism", "incitement to social isolation" and actions that undermine societal harmony.
Russian authorities object to some practices associated with the group, most notably their objection to compulsory military service, refusal to bear arms, opposition to blood transfusions and the demand on members to be totally dedicated to community life.

Yet more misconduct from GB 1.0 members when it comes to pipis.
In this photo we see three presumably stoic senior Gobbering Body members with hands on full monty observed by Freddy Franz and Milton Henschel, who seemed not too pleased about this goings on in plain view.

In this photo we see Greenlees exposed on ABC as he shephards a young lady who isn't buying his accented feminisms. (BTW he is using a nom de plume as Paul or Raul to avoid recognition, "behind him" we can see his pretty boy escort).

Okay! Now here's definite alleged proof that there was bum pinching on the part of Leo Greenlees!
I wouldn't doubt it for a moment! That buttocks pinching miscreant was at it at Mary's parent's wedding.
BTW, this thread is a sarcastic reactionary posting in response to Brokeback dude.

Oops!
No way! I think those fingers on the shoulder were photoshopped!
I meant Percy Chapman's hand on Knorr's butt cheeks. I knew there was some arse grabbing in that picture!
Knorr seems quite happy and smiley. But the guy in the background dressed in black is very disapproving of Chapman's fingers up Knorr's cracker.
