Fisherman (re diversionary tactics) "Which one?"
As an example, this one will do. Talking about diversionary tactics would just be another diversion.

The Watchtower were given a very bad report by the Commission after the first hearing, I expect the one to come will be far worse.

This thread has been very frustrating. RO and Fisherman have employed a tactic that dominates on JW Topix. If you throw in enough red herrings and heaps of other diversionary tactics, such as becoming personal, the focus on the real issues becomes watered down.

I was listening to a YouTube discussion about Case Study 54 and a very interesting point was made.
The Branch intends to issue a Child safeguarding policy which is for Australia only. Stewart said it went some way in advising what the individuals rights are. But it is highly unlikely that this Policy will even be considered by either the Elders or the Branch. Why? Because they have their own instructions specifically directed to them. Neither the Elders or the Branch office are going to turn to the Child Safeguarding Policy for directions because it is not directed to them. Their own instructions TRUMP any policies written for the R&F. The JW reps even made it clear that the instructions were audience specific.
It is no wonder that they have been more liberal in their wording in the Safeguarding Policy and even though Stewart wanted to see more consistency between the audience specific instructions, it is highly unlikely that this will happen.

It could've been worse. They could have asked Vincent Toole to attend but I guess they already had good cause not to ask him.

Okay Fisherman. As it is about da or df, would you be hurt but dignified if your parents or your children shunned you?

Fisherman, if your parents rejected you, maybe because your gay, would you also feel hurt but dignified because they recognise you once belonged to them?

RO "would indicate that Paul said not to even eat with a man that was once called your brother. "
What Bible did you read that in?
this can only be a good sign.. my old congregation in liverpool has had a lot of money in it's bank account for years.
for a long, long time (almost 8 years) they've been looking for land to build a new hall.
the one they're in now is literally falling to bits.
I wonder how the older ones feel when they see Left thanking them for the wonderful new no e the GB have been given.

Thanks JW leaks. That's a lot of reading.
I am wondering how much the Australian Safeguarding Policy differs from the UK Policy given that it took months to prepare.
I've just started reading the statement presented by O'Brien and Spinks. In Para 15 they make the claim that they do not provide pastoral care. They are kidding aren't they? No wonder they wanted an interpretation of pastoral care during the hearing. They are so quick to distance themselves from any obligation they lose all sense of understanding. Once a youngster is baptized they come under the pastoral care of the Elders.
arrrghhh...... so much that can be said..... https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodourorganization/pub-jwbrd_201604_1_video.
It creates brand loyalty in the young, which is also the reason why Caleb and Sophia were created.
