australian cardinal george pell, the vatican's third-highest ranking official, was convicted of sexual assault by a victoria court on december 11, 2018.. but australian media aren't reporting on the trial or its outcome.
despite pell's mammoth status in the catholic church and as a public figure, his trial has been held in secret, following a victorian county court suppression order that applies australia-wide.
it was imposed after the court accepted that knowledge of the accused's identity in the first trial might prejudice a further trial being held in march.. i believe this suppression order only applies to australia whereas this case may have been reported upon overseas ?
I am honestly surprised nobody has commented at all since I first posted this.? A day ago .
Cardinal George Pell an Australian is the 3rd most senior figure in the Vatican was convicted of child sexual assault offences by a Victorian Court on December 11 ,2018 and nobody here is interested or concerned ?
I`m flabbergasted to say the least .?
NOBODY interested in this story ?

Merry Xmas to all and sundry and the rest of the week for all you others .
i just got so angry coming across this quote from the wt, shortly after raymond franz was disfellowshipped:.
one who has been a true christian might renounce the way of the truth, stating that he no longer considers himself to be one of jehovah’s witnesses or wants to be known as one.
when this rare event occurs, the person is renouncing his standing as a christian.
The Fall Guy ,you hit the nail on the head ,in the New Testament Christians are to be witnesses of Jesus Christ as brought out by many scriptures and not one of those scriptures in the New Testament admonishes Christians to be a witness for Jehovah.
Not one.

perhaps all major airports will eventually employ their own industrial sized drone, operated by a trained/authorised pilot who can track and pinpoint the nut-jobs who cause such disruption and possible catastrophe..
Maybe the couple who were falsely arrested could sue the Airport .Police ,Newspapers and the media for damages plastering their photo`s for all the world to see.
Causing them embarrassment and humiliation and slandering their good name or whatever else a good lawyer can come up with .

Paraphrased experience .
does anyone remember the book paradise lost to paradise regained?
i was made to study the scary parts evertime i misbehaved which must have been all the time as the book imprinted into my brain.all i wanted in life as a child was to join the girl guides go hang out at the ywca with my friends and take part in sports day at school.so my mother asked the then congregation servant if i was demonized,they decided i would be fertalizer for my mothers pear tree.
anyway i grew up fairly normal,took me ages not to be afraid of lightning.had children who never entered a kingdom hall.most of my family served in some capacity at bethel so they dont talk to me.since then i have been a searcher looking for somthing to fill the void.has anyone found anything??
I`m almost ashamed to admit that was the first book i was given to read as a 19 year old convert who didn`t know much if anything about the Bible .
And my mentor thought that was the best way to introduce me to the "truth"
And would you believe I fell for it hook ,line ,and sinker for the next 33 years .?
So you can understand why I am almost ashamed to admit it.
i have compiled 32 real property transfer reports (“reports”) and 5 recording and endorsement cover pages (“cover pages”) that are ny city public records and available online on a836-acris.nyc.gov site.
37 pages, 38 properties, $2.2bn, one society... enjoy: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ryaj_4ihgs1uoyeptkbzdbmw9rd12dmf/view?usp=sharing.

With all of this money coming in from Real Estate sales , how can they still be regarded as a "Not For Profit" Religion ?
When in reality they are making BIG profits from their real estate sales ?
looking back over my life, the only thing that i can say i truly enjoyed as a jw was meeting and becoming friends with a number of jws who were fine musicians and had experienced various measures of success in what used to be called the "music business.
tommy reynolds, from the vocal group hamilton, joe frank & reynolds ("don't pull your love out on me, baby" and "baby, baby, fallin' in love, i'm fallin' in love again") recruited me to play drums in his dallas circuit assembly orchestra in the 1970s.
in 1977, i became friends with legendary jazz composer/arranger/band leader benny golson, whose life story appeared in the oct. 8, 1980 awake, and who appeared opposite tom hanks in steven spielberg's "the terminal.
That was a fascinating read ,thank you for sharing ,let me know the title of your book when published and when it will be available it will definitely be on my list.
I`m usually put off by long posts but not this one .
