This is excellent stuff. Anyone who followed the Australian High Commission should I think follow this. It will be short and sweet but at least it allows issues to be aired in public.
The victims representatives have made some excellent ground in the opening statements whilst the WT lawyer seems to be relying on rhetoric.
I am looking forward to watching more.

brushed under the carpet for 30 years, .
hope the iicsa are made aware of this for monday..
Every disclosure is another link in the chain.
When I was a fully integrated non-questioning dub I argued that these things happened jn all organisations, what distinguished our wonderful religion is how we dealt with these miscreants. I truly believed that we were distinguished by our fearless treatment of such people.
Now? Not so much.

Does anyone know whether these hearings can be recorded for later perusal?
the latest awake (no 3 2020) on jw.org is just breathtaking, it's about prejudice and gives the following 3 examples which i will one by one attemp to debunk.. awake - some employers have mistakenly believed that women are unqualified for scientific or technical jobs.. erm... women are not only forbidden from elder or m/s appointment, they're not even considered qualified enough to adjust the height of a brother's microphone, you were saying?.....
awake - in medieval europe, jews were falsely accused of poisoning wells and spreading disease.
during nazi rule, jews were again slandered.

I notice that Lloyd Evans is giving evidence. Love him or loathe him he has a lot of info up his sleeve. Paul Gillies is a big gun, he was moved to Warwick I believe so theOrg seem to be reacting with some trepidation in repatriating him for this even if its only by zoom.
does anyone happen to have a copy of the awake for march 22, 1993. .
i'm especially interested in pages 3 and 4 of an article about false teachers..
Woah! That is some info load Finky.

This is the WT 2021 version
someone has stepped forward to assist us.
that sure didn't take very long!.
2020-august-s-147-e announcements and reminders, in english and in german.. .
This is dynamite. There is an instruction for a set contribution per head per month for the "world wide work". The link apparently contains a multiplier that we don't yet have.
This looks like compulsory tithing to me, Where is the voluntary contribution system?
body of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.
