If you started an organisation (related to exposing the Watchtower, helping Jw's who are disfellowshipped, or any other worthy cause).. What would it be called and what would you aim to achieve?

Judicial committee questions
by slimboyfat inwhen the elders invite someone to a judicial committee does the person under scrutiny have the right to ask beforehand what evidence will be adduced against him and what witnesses will be called?
in other words is there pre-trial disclosure within the watchtower's quasi legal process?

No stairs but two-storey Darjeeling in Bowral sells for $2 million
By Jonathan Chancellor
Tuesday, 26 March 2013
Darjeeling, an historic 1880s stone NSW Southern Highlands homestead, has been sold for $2 million to Phil Purnell and his wife, Stephanie.
It come with views to the north towards Mittagong and to the south over Retford Park, Burrawang and Moss Vale.
The stone homestead has two bedrooms downstairs and room for another two bedrooms upstairs but it's currently without a staircase.
The 56-hectare holding had been listed through Philip Barron at LJ Hooker Bowral.
It was sold by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia, the legal organization in use by Jehovah's Witnesses, who'd been willed it in 2004 by the late Jessie Crichton-Smith.
When auctioned in 1963 it had recently had 2000 pounds spent on improvements.
It comes with mixture of pasture, woodland and native forest, plus four dams and two creeks.
For much of its history, it has been owned by the Smith family who feature on the Old South Road website undertaken by Helen Erskine for her local genealogy club.

JW Survivors is a victim advocacy group for survivors of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses within Australia.
JW Survivors is a volunteer not-for-profit community based victim advocacy group for survivors of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses within Australia.
November 26, 2012
JW Survivors lodged today a submission, written and prepared by Steven Unthank, in reply to the Australian government's request for stakeholder consultation for the establishing of the "Terms of Reference" for the Child Abuse Royal Commission.
Among the 9 recommendations made to the Royal Commission by JW Survivors was that "the Royal Commission investigate religious and other organisations in relation to their response to working with children laws as legislated in various jurisdictions across Australia." The submission explained that "working with children laws and child safety legislation are the frontline of physical and sexual protection for children within the community", and that "a failure, or refusal to comply with working with children laws, by an organisation, religious or otherwise, may be an indicator of the systemic failure of such an organisation to view the physical and sexual safety of children, with whom they work with, as a priority." The submission also cited the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses as an example of one religious organisation engaging in the "wholesale" criminal breaching of working with children laws.
On 12 November 2012, Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced that she will be recommending to the Governor-General the establishment of a Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse in Australia. Following this, the government requested the input of stakeholder organisations in making recommendations for the 'Terms of Reference' for the Child Abuse Royal Commission. JW Survivors was one of those organisations who made a submission.
A copy of JW Survivors' submission for the 'Terms of Reference' can be downloaded from their web site.
