I've just finished watching Day 7. Wow, what an intense few days that has been. Extra special thanks to you C0ntr013r for recording these sessions and making them available so soon after the live event. I, and I'm sure many others, have been able to keep up to date with developments in what has been an unprecedented investigation. I never thought I'd get to see the events of this last few weeks happen, but it's happened, and I'm delighted it has! Thanks again for taking the time and trouble to make these available!!! :)

@Petragliph
Thank you for posting the videos. It just makes me sick. And I can not believe what on organization I got myself into ...
I wish I had researched the internet better, 12 -15 years ago when I decided to join the religion.
I think we should start blogs and webpages and put our stories out there, make the truth about this org. public, so that other people know what they are getting themselves into before they get baptised. The more websites with the truth about who the wt really is, the better!

I agree. I've used the Royal Commission as a prompt to start sharing things I've never shared before on FB. I doubt any of my FB friends would ever seriously contemplate getting involved and they may in general not pay attention to what I've posted (though at least a few have commented), but come the day that they perhaps hear of a friend of theirs expressing an interest, then they will have the flags in the back of their mind to warn them, and the material to reference if needs be. Every little helps.

Hey Petragplyph, is there a video of that Herd video? It sounds like there's some weird hiccups in the audio . Almost like cuts or edits. I'd love to have the video of it for authenticity.

I have no knowledge of the origin of this, however, the uploader of the video has their contact details on their channel:

I shared this version of the same segment of Samuel Herd's talk on my FB wall:

Jehovah's Witnesses Hate Homosexuals and Say Women Have Small Brains

...and I got this response in the comments:

Women: Know Your Limits! Harry Enfield - BBC comedy

For those not familiar with Harry Enfield's comedy, this segment of his show pokes fun at ludicrously antiquated attitudes. This sketch could almost have been written for Samuel Herd.

World court of human rights

by WasOnceBlind in

while australia is dealing with this pedaphile protection policy that the wt seems to have, how awesome would it be if the world court of human rights was to look into it as well, seeing how the wt is a global organization.

And maybe the blood issue?

The Saturday Paper

by smiddy in

hi barbara , and ex j.w`s.

i just thought i would fill you in on the first issue of the saturday paper in australia which was march the 1st 2014 , with a first edition of 100,000 papers,.

i believe it currently covers sections of victoria , canberra , and sections of new south wales.. morry schwartz and the monthly quarterly essay seem to be the prime backers.. while i applaud the article of the 1st of august against j.w`s and wish this had got more widespread coverage , the fact remains that this publication has limited distribution .. with your high profile could you help to get this article from "the saturday paper" more widely distributed across the world ?

I'm posting select articles/videos on Facebook. This is one I've shared.

One of the most important questions.

by Lemonp in

it is enthralling having everything being dragged kicking and screaming into the light of day.

however one of the most important things to ask is this:.

is the rc evidence admissable in other countries and other courts?.

Petraglyph

Ew OrphanCrow, that's a perspective I'd never thought of :o

So they'll reappoint someone to an Elder position who will savour some poor child abuse victim giving details of what happened. Ugh, it's making me feel sick writing that.

This is sick sick sick! Beyond sick!
