  anyone know who this monty baker is?

  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  I loved when they went through the article with the model on what turns someone into a pedophile.

  Stewart applies every singe point to a the JWs practices:

  1. Repressed sexuality; no masturbation or premarital sex.

  2. Weak punishments for criminal offences, no reporting unless 2 witnesses. If the authorities are not included the worst punishment is to be thrown out (where they can continue their abuse). And delaying the report to authorities.

  3. Men being at the top of the congregation and fathers being at the top of the families where their word is law.

  4. Erosion of social networks, no associations with wordy people.

  5. Social powerlessness of children.

  These are according to the accepted model some of the things that makes up a good environment for child molestation. And will even produce child molesters.

  Stewart is freaking awesome!! Who can deny these facts?

  Mr Ali told the commission he did not believe church law replaced secular law

  by fulltimestudent in

  from a report in today's canberra times:.

  apparently, at one stage in his interrogation elder dino ali must have explained the following.. "mr ali told the commission he did not believe church law replaced secular law and said the organisation worked with legal authorities.".

  Lets hope someone in the congregation answers: "We need to dismiss the apostate lies about the child molestation cover-ups in Australia" after reading this article:

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20151015/true-because-it-is-on-internet/

  And all the publishers think: " what cover-up?" and googles it :)

  All these universities seem to have some kind of connection to a secret society at some point but there is nothing that indicates any of the WT lawyers were part of any of these societies. (if the societies where even active during the time they attended them)

  He also says so himself in the video "I am not suggesting these lawyers where part of the secret societies" so I am unsure why he is showing it. If I where to guess he googled: "[name of university] secret society" in each case to draw a link between the lawyers and "secret".

  Pretty much every university in north America has some kind of connection to a secret society:

  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.

  Maybe nostalgia? You have nice old memories and you want to relive "that" again. Usually the feeling is short lived, because it is not how we remembered it anymore. We remember all the good parts and miss them. It is the same thing with childhood memories. Nostalgia is one of the big things that bring people back to play World of Warcraft with each expansion, but the feeling is often short lived.

  I don't personally play but it is a example of fascinating psychology.

  How many of the 1.006 alleged abusers will be investigated by Police?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the commission has the names of 1,006 alleged abusers within australian congregations since 1950. some will have died and others will already have been prosecuted but the branch did not report any of these allegations to police.. the terms of reference for the royal commission is more about redress for the victims but that can include criminal prosecution although they are more focused on financial compensation.. however, now that they have the names of 1,006 potential criminals there is some responsibility to see that they are dealt with criminally.

  it appears to be in their authority to have cases followed through by referring them for further investigation.

  this is clear because the commissioner has recently reported that to date, they have done so in 493 cases identified within the scope of their commission.

  If only 100 of those victims were to sue (and settle) then it could bankrupt the Watchtower regime in Australia.

  The RC will be looking into a compensation model for the victims within each organisation. The number 60 000 was mentioned, if each pedophile of the 1000 just molested one person each, that will be 60 millions to pay the victims... The watchtower in Australia has a 20 million income each year, they would be pretty bankrupts, yes

  If we say an average of 3 victims each, they would have around 180 millions to pay in compensation... And I don't know if the 60 000 is a one time, yearly or other type of payment.
