unfortunately, part 1 will not be available until later, but i thought i give you the other parts anyway .
day six of the proceedings:.
part 2 has been uploaded and part 3,4 and (5?
I am shocked that so far, the commission hasn't questioned anyone over that 2013 letter from the U.S. Branch to all branch service departments outlining the conditions under which a child abuser may be appointed an elder.
Personally I found this to be the most damning of all evidence they gathered.
I'm wondering if the commission isn't "building" towards it. I can't imagine how they will even try to dodge it. . . . .
Find it in wifi bandits above link under "Guidelines for Branch"
firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.
no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.
it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.
Excellent UMBERTO!
As another poster on this board remarked, sunlight is an excellent disinfectant.
so, i am back at it.
i give you day 5 of the royal commissions proceedings:.
part 1 has been uploaded and part 2,3 and 4 will soon be available.. part 1:.
STEWART: Mr De Rooy, what did you have for breakfast?
DEROOY: [smiling sheepishly] ummmmmm. . . . . I can't recall.
STEWART: Ceratinly Mr De Rooy you had some sort of breakfast before appearing at this royal commission?
DEROOY: I didn't have time.
STEWART: You are telling us you did not have time for breakfast.
DEROOY: [turning red] ummmmmmmmmmm.. . . . Perhaps I did have something for breakfast, but I do not recall what.
STEWART: Scrambled eggs?
DEROOY: No.
STEWART: Yogurt?
DEROOY: No.
STEWART: Perhaps a cup of coffee?
DEROOY: I don't recall a cup of coffee.
STEWART: A bowl of Wheaties breakfast cereal?
DEROOY: Yes! Yes! That is what I had. It's the Breakfast of Champions!

public hearing: case study 29 into jehovah's witnesses, sydney.
My thoughts: this guy is no apostate. . . not by a long shot. Perhaps that is how he feels, but what I see (and I think others here see as well) is someone who never shook the brainwashing and got to the bottom of what exactly their experience in JWs was, which is indeed a cult experience. No he's not a JW, but he really never rooted it from his mind.
That being said, I think overall he was a good witness and provided a contrast to the mind-numbing answers of current elders.
So, does anyone know who's up tonight , i.e. Tuesday August 4, 10AM Sydney time?

excuse the typo in subject heading.
i'm watching the royal commission hearings and trying to post this link to the guardian at the same time.
sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.
i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.
he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.
This thread is surreal. . . In a good way!
I hope they nail the bastard, if not now, perhaps sometime in the near future.

on saturday the elder and his wife turned up.
i have my reasons for not turning them away at the moment, at least, not until the completion of the rc.. i asked him about his thoughts on the rc.
he said that he thought it was easy and nothing to worry about.
