I am eagerly awaiting the RCs questions regarding this document.
I think it's the most damning one of all.

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"

Contacted by Royal Commission today
by umbertoecho infirstly, 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.

Thanks again to CONTROL3R for the YouTube of Monty (I was too bushed to stay up til 2AM EST!)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?

This thread is surreal. . . In a good way!
I hope they nail the bastard, if not now, perhaps sometime in the near future.

I don't think this is lunch - just a quick break. They usually break for lunch in around an hour and 15 min from now. -

Saturday, Elders response to Royal Commission
by umbertoecho inon 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.

UMBERTO - Serious question: Did your elder friend actually watch the RC and look at the evidence, or did he glance quickly at the newspaper stand or turn the channel as it appeared on the news?
