During the court hearing on October 11, legal counsel for the Watchtower Society, Rachel van Witsen, from Vincent Toole Solicitors (the WTS's in-house law firm located inside Bethel, Australia) made a statement on behalf of the Watchtower Society that:-
"The faithful and discreet slave is not a legal entity."
Vincent Toole Solicitors then went on to present arguments that the "faithful and discreet slave" do not exist as a "person" nor do they exist as an "unincorporated body" and nor do they exist as a "body" of Christians.
Literally Vincent Toole Solicitors were arguing that the "faithful and discreet slave" should be struck off the charge list because they simply do not exist. In one broad sweeping statement the Watchtower Society and their in-house legal team completely destroyed the entire fabric and structure of the faith of some 7 million Jehovah's Witnesses. What next happened goes beyond the wildest imaginings that any Jehovah's Witness could ever believe was possible.
I am just wondering, if the RC has proved that the JW are run by seven men in Brooklyn, does that now mean that Vincent Toole Solicitor can now be charged with "perjury" according to their testimony on Oct 11 2013 in a Victorian Court in Australia?
hello people.
the rc will still go ahead with it's live stream on friday 14th august.
however, it seem that it will be a video link.
i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".
They were mean't to get a witness from you today, well done on taking the opportunity to free them.
what question would you ask geoffrey jackson, as a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, to answer?
.
jw leaks.
i was raised a witness, baptized at 16, vacation pioneered, got married, etc.
i was very much your typical witness and believed it was the truth until last summer.
a very close relative of mine left the witnesses.
i remember this time of year when jw's desend en mass on one area.
a fun game to play is "spot the..." whatever jw walking stereotype you choose.. so i thought i would play it with you guys, starting with how to spot a single jw sister.. i say, she will be dressed up to the nines, probably over dressed in fact, have hair immaculately coffied, make up plastered on, towering heels and be smiling at every brother in site.
all they need is a sign saying "pioneer, virgin, available for marriage!".

I feel sorry for a lot of these young women, they would be in the 20's 30's and 40's and still virgins.
They are not be allowed to experience life and do things according they their own conscience.
my understanding (very limited and maybe flawed) is that this commission has no teeth.
if thats true why would the org care?
send a few lawyers, go through the motions but in the end.... its a dog parking on a porch.
Even if there are no financial repercussions or legal ramifications for WT I believe the the Royal Commission has been a huge success.
The RC did their homework and spoke the JW language, they knew what questions to ask, WT had no where to hide, it showed the incompetence of all the elders, and their legal team. The elders were twisting and changing their stories because they were scared, they showed they were more interested in covering their own asses and their religion rather than the care of our little children.
Everything is now on public record and can be used as a reference for anyone who wants it.
Well done to the Royal Commission, they spoke with respect and compassion.
I also hope they don't let Geoffrey Jackson out of the country before they interview him, I would love to see him on public record.
shout out to jwfacts.. just saw the drum.
excellent job !

Well done Paul, you did a great job
