  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".

  Richard Dawkins espouses Militant Atheism: "Mock them, Ridicule them." Attack Religious People with Insults!

  by MagicMItchJensen in

  richard dawkins has said frequently if we don't agree with religious or spiritual people we need to "insult them!

  " tell their their out of their "fucking gourds!

  " and make sure you really show them how stupid they are for believing in something they can't prove!".

  Richard Dawkins is all about promoting empirical evidence, science and the pursuit of truth. That in fact was his job, to communicate modern science to the public.

  He isn't promoting a personal vicious onslaught onto believers, in context he is promoting the idea of openly discussing and ridiculing silly beliefs as currently they have 'special protection' in custom and culture in most on the world.

  It wouldn't be considered offensive to question and ridicule someone that wanted to be president of the USA whilst believing in unicorns or UFO's, yet Romney literally believed in magical underwear and it was considered rude to bring it up!

  Bush and Blair admitted to seeking advice in prayer, whilst leading the nations in war. This should be up for debate, discussion and ridicule! If Blair or bush claimed to be seeking the advice of Thor, ....... Well you can imagine!

  Cecil the Lion deserved what he got...That's right. I said it.

  lions are notorious murderers of beautiful zebras, antelope and other graceful exotic animals.

  cecil probably contributed to the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of animals.

  what happened to him was justice.. you reap what you sow.

  Shame on her and her sloppy research. Children have suffered based on these rules and she hasn't even bothered to check them properly.

  This commission has been fantastic..

  i am shocked that an expert would simply examine only the literature given to her by the organisation she was defending and simply accept it.

  also the ease she has in making huge sweeping statements when comparing the jw's to all other international religious organisations simply undermines her professionalism.. i am also thoroughly shocked at her blatant, 'expert for hire', 'will defend anyone' apparent decision making, the organisation is responsible for covering up thousands of abuse victims by its own records, in australia alone!

  never mind their judicial process being heartless and traumatic!.

  Wow, now she ....the JW expert witness has now sold them down the river and finally put her conscience and professionalism first, having been shown to be empty in her expertise.

  what an amazing process. Shame on her.

  Burned out, I sat watching her and felt the same way, when she was shaking her head she was doubtless unprepared for this thorough questioning,

  She deserves this level of scrutiny, she has stood in court and called the JWs better than all other international religions, and now she stands in a court, in a country where for 50 years abuse has silently been covered up. Shame on her.

  It's always worth thinking about who is paying you as well as how much.....,

  This commission needs commending on its research and thorough evaluation of the JW's. They haven't missed a thing so far, be it the power the elders have over people's lives, to the empty words of the published material in comparison to the real goings on in the religion.

  The presiding judge is a very sharp man and having felt we would never see the day where all of this came to light, I am thoroughly impressed by him and the other members of the commission.

  She is not a lawyer, but a child abuse expert .....apparently.... and I am appalled by her work and activity having read her conclusions. Again, truly Shameful.

  Her conclusions about the JW's for which I was a member for 25 years are so far from reality. it discredits her opinion on anything else she had researched or stated. If she could be so wrong about the JW's then she is simply unreliable.

  I can't help but ask, is she that poor an expert or that poor in moral stature?

  Thr first rule of science is CRITUCAL APPRAISAL and the first thing you hunt for is bias. She has clearly sold out on her professionalism. The truly awful thing is, she has stood in defence of those that have made child abuse victims suffer more than necessary and in some cases contributed to abuse by covering up and reassigning abusers. Her defence alone being that they publish pleasantries about abuse victims. How shameful! She is supposed to be contributing to improvements in child abuse as an expert not DEFEND those that have made it worse.

  i shall be writing to her.

  Australian Royal Commission - What can the Governing Body do?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as far as i am aware, it's not within the power of the australian royal commission to call as a witness a non-australian.

  it is confined to dealing with the jws and child abuse as it is handled within australia.

  it is clear from the testimonies so far that it is the branch office that gives the elders direction as prescribed ultimately by the governing body.. there are two witnesses who have been called up to attend the rc from the branch office in sydney, one is rodney spinks from the service desk and the other is vincent o'toole, overseer of the legal department.

  You are forgetting the JW mindset....

  "Satan's world gave US advice on how to run the organisation!"

  It won't happen.
