Solaris, I've been here a number of years and interacted with Smiddy all that time. He is genuine and trustworthy. He's a straight shooter, a fair dinkum Aussie. He's not one to make up stories and I'm behind him.
You've got every right not to trust him if you want.
I don't like the way that years after the event you try and plant a seed that the events never occurred, hmmm, reminds me of something.
Some of us were here on this forum (and others like Smiddy had first hand experience) as events unfolded.
If you are sincere about your research then you should consider doing a thorough research on this forum to see a step by step progression of the whole events that took place in real time. In my books it would take a real genius or complete wacko to play this out if it was all fake.
If you do that research, you'll also find that Steven Unthank was involved in a lot more than you probably have yet to hear of.
You might also like to google Steven Unthank and the Victorian Royal Commission and child abuse, just as one little point of reference. I do believe that his work in this Commission, as well as Steven Unthanks long suffering work of trying to expose their reluctance in getting Working with Children clearance certificates for Elders, may have been a catalyst to sway the ARC to include the Jehovahs Witnesses in their investigations and that has proven to have a huge impact on the religion.
