' says he.. and i told him a very brief run down..

CARC/ Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Reaction to Child Abuse. It was initially referred to as ARC or Australian Royal Commission but there were other commissions of inquiry going on so it was referred to as the C as Child to separate it.

The executive were the wt officials who were called to appear before the commission to explain the wt manner of dealing with Child abuse within the Jehovahs witness organisation .

this is one part of it,

AUSTRALIA | Human Rights Commission met with Jehovah’s Witnesses over safety concerns

series part 3 - human rights commission met with jehovah’s witnesses over safety concerns.

independent inquiry journalism | inq .

"But a spokesperson for Santow played down the meeting, saying it doesn’t have the power to investigate claims of child abuse."

but the Police are but a phone call away..

Once again the men in suits have snowballed the men in government.

On being told the wt ordered the destruction of case notes the HRC should have immediately requested Police in all states to raid elders for notes.

Psychological Changes in the Vocabulary of the WTS

psychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.

i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.

we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

Brilliant expose Blondie. I have noticed down the years where they would use made up words, cant recall any but there were and to look them up in dictionary is to find them not there. Surely the mark of the ill-educated (!) and socially ignorant.

WT says we must not be presumptuous; oh hell what about this then..from the CARC

Angus Stewart: Legal counsel. "And do you see yourselves as Jehovah God's spokespeople on Earth?"

Geoffrey Jackson: Governing Body. "Ah, that I think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson god is using."

I hold a fear that the wt if finally pushed into a corner and made to face its monstrous history it will invoke some social outrage that will bring the wrath of governments down onto the witnesses and of course it will be the r&f poor mug average jw that will cop it. Not as you said of Rutherford during the rise of Hitler safely ensconced away in his case the broader USA or today in their Walkill 'monastery'.

NB Did Rutherford ever do any actual door to door work?

The item re help from (any) branch office rings foul as Branch offices have been sold off (and the $$ going to the US) ..

Thankyou again for your most erudite of findings.

The circumstances required my being brief but I highlighted the way the executive twisted words and accepted meanings while they came on all self righteous and were "the least prepared of any group facing the commission."..(the justice) and that I had phoned the CARC to correct the machinations and was well received by a counsellor there who relayed to me that "We have had so many phone calls" (from ex JW). Also I underlined my interest being formed by my own kids being abused.

I am sure he is a very busy man perhaps too busy to look up the CARC footage but he has now a different aspect to the wt other than the love and roses the wt puts out.

Thanks Smiddy3 for asking too.

Compensation claims against Jehovah’s Witnesses could be jeopardised: lawyer

https://www.crikey.com.au/2019/09/12/compensation-claims-jehovahs-witnesses/.

dr judy courtin explains to inq why the destruction of documents could have huge ramifications for victims inside the jehovah’s witnesses.. an order by the jehovah’s witnesses in australia to destroy confidential records could undermine a child abuse compensation claim currently being prepared for the supreme court of victoria.

a lawyer representing the victim says she was shocked to learn that the christian body had ordered confidential documents, including notes taken by elders investigating child sexual abuse, to be destroyed.

zeb

Yes, I too have wondered that. But like the Nazis records they will in like manner come back to bite them and bite them very hard.
