  Thank you C0ntr013r, it's the only way I can get to see these. I really appreciate it.

  What Angus Stewart has realised and fully understands, is something that your average JW and elder will never allow themselves to grasp.
  The WT prints just about every conceivable angle on a topic, then chooses when to use each one.

  For example, the GB are prophets, but they're not really prophets.
  The Holy spirit appoints elders, but the Holy spirit only guides the elders.
  The WT abhor child abuse, but they really do nothing to stop it.
  JW's love all people, but not enough to protect them from abusers.
  You must do as you're told even if it seems strange, but there are exceptions to this.
  The Catholic Church is the main part of the harlot, but JW's will pay them to get legal representation.
  A brother must not take someone to court, but the organisation is famous for it.

  Angus also see's the difference between the written word and the real life actions.
  WT have tried to hide this with their large margins in the Elders book, so the elders themselves have to write in the questionable policies in their own hand writing.

  The poor sheep are lambs to the slaughter. This includes elders who 'listen, obey', but are still waiting to 'be blessed'.

  anyone know who this monty baker is?

  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  This guy has done some serious preparation!

  Jesus exposed the false teachers in the first century.

  Looks like he's doing the same in the twenty first century.

  So many bad attitudes on this thread.

  Don't you know you are speaking of divinely appointed glorious ones?

  *** w98 6/1 p. 17 par. 10 “Put Up a Hard Fight for the Faith”! ***
  It is all too easy to find fault with the appointed elders, for they are imperfect, as all of us are imperfect. But if we dwell on their faults and undermine respect for them, might we be “speaking abusively of glorious ones”?
  [...] Those who persist in such negative talk could cause divisions in the congregation and perhaps even be likened to dangerous “rocks hidden below water” at gatherings of fellow believers. (Jude 12, 16, 19)
  Never would we want to pose a spiritual danger to others. Rather, let each of us resolve to appreciate responsible men for their hard work and devotion to the flock of God.

  Turns out they don't care about JW children either.............

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  so by now most of us have seen the clip of an elder getting owned by the attorney regarding why they don't seem to care for the children outside of the congregation by refusing to report suspected child abusers.

  if not, here's a link:.

  If an elder gets into trouble as a result of this Royal Commission, either because they have been appointed despite having previously abused children or because they mistreated an abused victim in a JC, maybe even DF'ing them, then the other congregations elders are also culpable.

  How? Because they would have known about this other elder, his history, the JC abuse etc.

  To stand by and knowingly let these things happen just because it's the easy option, demonstrates that elder to be complicit too.

  How can any congregation BoE defend themselves if one of them turns out to be an appointed pedophile?

  see this letter from the royal commission: .

  letter from watchtower australia to governing body regarding transfer of funds between branches.

  In this way we will keep our “turnover” below the threshold and so avoid

  the difficulties and obligations that will otherwise apply if we come within the jurisdiction of

  this Privacy Act.

  They even put "turnover" in quotation marks! This is in their letter!

  How knowingly deceptive.

  Australian Royal Commission - What can the Governing Body do?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as far as i am aware, it's not within the power of the australian royal commission to call as a witness a non-australian.

  it is confined to dealing with the jws and child abuse as it is handled within australia.

  it is clear from the testimonies so far that it is the branch office that gives the elders direction as prescribed ultimately by the governing body.. there are two witnesses who have been called up to attend the rc from the branch office in sydney, one is rodney spinks from the service desk and the other is vincent o'toole, overseer of the legal department.

  Room 215 The question that begs a reply is: When, if ever, will the commission hear from any of the Bethel higher-ups?

  The last two witnesses who will be called are

  Rodney Spinks - Member of the Service Dept. in WTBTS Australia, and
  Vincent Toole - JW Solicitor and Head of Legal at WTBTS Australia.
