we all know the wt basis for disfellowshipping, (1 corinthians 5:9-13) 9 12 for what do i have to do with judging those outside?
do you not judge those inside, 13 while god judges those outside?
remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves.. if removing "the man" is a protection for the congregation and no police are called, what does it say about the witnesses view of the world?
I just thought this was an absolutely extraordinary point the commission made. They have skillfully tied the abuse cover-up to the JWs twisted worldview:
Sure we JWs will DF an abuser to "keep the congregation clean," but the rest of you "worldly people" are going to die at Armageddon anyway. Why in the hell should we care about you?
the lawyer at the australian royal commission (arc) hangs the elder out to dry on his own statements!.
wonderful to see the org's little dictators being subjected to their very own personal judicial committee hearing - but in front of millions, and not in secret!.
from 43 minutes onward.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv8ptogc6k0#t=2607.
I can easily say the only recourse for them at this stage is to let the elders hang and say they were the problem not following direction. His lies will be the perfect cover.
I can can almost guarantee that is what will happen.
Those elders who have testified will be thrown under the bus so fast by the society's representatives they won't know what hit them.
this "confession" should be aired on the tv channel in regards to the investigation into jw's cover up of child abuse.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8cctyxnr-w. quite fitting, don't you think?
xd.
remember there was a talk about not listening to "false stories" about sexual abuse from apostates on jw's fantasy station?
did the governing body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?
they must have had subpoenas giving them a heads up.
Funny thing. . . .
On the JW broadcast (I think it was actually the daily text) Lett assures everyone that these allegations of sexual abuse are apostate lies. . .
.. . . . .but not once in this case has any of the elders or CO/DO mentioned this "fact" in their testimony before the state. . .
If what Lett said was true, wouldn't it completely exonerate them? 😉
Wonder why they haven't mentioned it. . . . 😎

Thanks so much for this CONTROL3R!
Went to bed when they broke for lunch and looking forward to hearing the rest.
most of you, like me, keep yourself informed as to what's happening in jw-land.
like me, you make it your business to know what's going on.
so i'm wondering why the wtbts is allowing eldubs to appear in these inquiries in australia??
These guys (the Royal Commission members) are sharp as hell.
They have obviously done ASTONISHING amounts of research, and they've got this thing figured from every conceivable angle.
Amazing stuff. I am impressed.
i have just finished listening to this man jackson.
i remember him well.
he is twisting things around as much as he is allowed.
The world has moved on in understanding and treatment of child victims of sexual assault but this religion is clueless,
Well, wait a moment now!
I was just told in the July JW broadcast the JWs have been ahead of the times regarding child abuse.
This is quite a discrepancy!
And yes, PANTS - I noticed that slip again too.

This is fantastic!
Thank you so much.

Ok, just saw the YouTube of Jackson.
Yes, I "see it" and I never met the man.
The words "smug asshole" came to mind after watching him.
i just heard this a few minutes ago by a jw friend who is still an elder in my old hall.
the kingdom hall i used to attend and my mom still attends was paid off many years ago and serves about 6 congregations.
one of the english congregations has a lot of financially well of members.
Wow. Wow wow wow!
Amazing story JOHN AQUILA.
Wow, the society really has some strategy going there. . . .
First, make sure nobody goes to college so your entire membership is broke.
Then, in the congregations where there actually is some money and the people take pride in their hall - so much so that they re-raise the funds needed to remodel it - the society takes their money and then shoves it up their asses with a bigger monthly payment.
BTW - I think this is a fantastic strategy! 😎😜😈👍
