  68min of grilling.

  so many highlights.

  love seeing the hears grinding as they are asked questions... you can see the conflict in their mind as they weigh the .org's response vs the right one to make.

  If 30% of these 1000+ known abusers have since died, that leaves about 700, not counting all those who are not on any list.

  Incidentally 700 is roughly the number of congregations in Australia, so on average there's an abuser in every congregation.

  *** w13 11/15 p. 14 par. 17 How Can We Maintain “a Waiting Attitude”? ***
  "Now is the time to return to our heavenly Father’s loving arms and to the congregation—the only safe haven in these last days."

  What do you mean by this possum, that there are more sacrificial lambs, or that they are tenacious and aggressive?

  BBC News have just added an online article about it.

  A second article in the UK Guardian about how notes were destroyed.

  Same second story in the Daily Mail.

  i decided to have a look at jwtalk to see if there might be any news on the australian royal commission investigation into child abuse.

  there was a message posted regarding the news.

  another case of jws not being able to handle bad news against the mother ship!.

  By not allowing them to talk about it there, they will force the forum members to look elsewhere on the internet.

  The ones who complain loudest about apostates are often the ones with the greatest concerns, trying to protect their fragile world by running from reality.

  When you pair this investigation up with the current WT push to baptise minors, the whole thing looks very nefarious.

  In 1950 Australia had 4,500 publishers.

  I imagine that most of these abusers on file are within the last 30-40 years, so may well still be alive.

  It's also likely that one abuser is responsible for more than one abuse case, so not one-to-one.

  I also guess that not all cases made it to the list or were even reported to the elders.

  This week and next is a bad time to be out in field service in Australia.

  Thankfully most pioneers will have got their hours in by now, so they will all be taking time off from the ministry.

  I wouldn't want to be stood on a witnessing trolley today. Might as well paint a target on my head.

  Even if JW's refuse to watch this themselves, they cannot insulate themselves from the discussions and consequences of this devastating exposé. It will be more discussed by the worldwide congregation than the GB's release of their new Bible, and the aftershocks will be far greater.
