Do you feel vindicated by the exposure of the WT Society in Australia? It seems like a feeding frenzy on here! I love it. You?
by Wasanelder Once inare you pleased with the exposure of the society in australia?
do you feel personally vindicated by it?
do you think it gives you credibility with others now that all the things you said were going on, actually are documented?

What are the possible end results from the RC?
by Bob Loblaw insorry if this has already been discussed, but,...besides, of course, a black eye on the org, what can come of this royal commission hearing legally or criminally?
according to the rc's website:.
"the royal commission holds formal public hearings to hear evidence about child sexual abuse within institutions.

The truest statement in that report is "Jehovahs Witnesses are not unique"
For Gods people on earth who are supposed to carry the identifying mark that Jesus spoke of, that statement itself is an indictment.
Of course the Royal Commission didnt mean it that way but maybe some individual JWs somewhere will give pause and think about it.
Sadly, I think this is only huge news to us who already have our eyes open.
JWs as individuals are not paying much attention. The Org itself will make a few forced changes and life will go on.
The only thing that will ever make a dent in the momentum of the Org is something financial. If this can have some kind of financial impact then maybe it will be more than just a black eye so to speak.
We can hope so because black eyes heal. Once they do they are forgotten.

Dissent on JW-Archive
by bemused inin the posts about the australian royal commission there have been several references to discussions on jw-archive.
i'd not heard of that site, so checked it out.
it seems to be used by many active jws - its tumblr style archive is full of pictures of jws doing their thing.

The owner is an "edgy" In JW.
IMO, He is loving the web traffic this gives him and will walk the line on this one.

Im really glad this is hitting the news in some spots. There is nothing on the news in my area. Nothing on the networks or radio.
No mention by any of the JWs
nada.
I can only hope this keeps spreading and gaining momentum as this is a huge reason for people to really get to know what the "Org." is really about.

That is great to hear Bonsai!
Does anyone know what power the Commission has? Do they just recommend or can they enforce?

I like the idea of canceling at the last minute on the arrogant elder.
Go ahead and do the one with your BIL since you sense he has no agenda if you want to.
(as long as they are not on the same night) or maybe you already got that one with your BIL out of the way....
The nice thing about canceling is you dont get in any real tangible trouble but you sure will tick off the arrogant elder and he will have to work a little bit to get the demo covered by someone else...it will be good for him, lol.

Governing Body, painted in a corner, now what?
by Wasanelder Once inthe governing body have painted themselves in a corner, so to speak.
if they acknowledge their response to abuse claims was insensitive, unloving and inadequate they are denying the belief that "god's way" is best and risk losing abuse cases.
if they stick with it and say it is "god's way according to the bible" they will be seen as cult leaders and risk losing abuse cases.

Sadly, I think this will have a small long term effect in Australia for a few years.
I dont think it will have any effect whatsoever in the U.S.
No more so than the 60 Minutes (was it called that?) that aired the interview with Barbara Anderson.
I think we are excited but I dont see this as any big long term game changer as far as JWs waking up.
The wolves in control will probably have to change their policy a bit, so there is that to be gained I guess.
I really hope I have this whole thing figured wrongly though.
