not one.. i am sure the victims of child sexual abuse within various institutions not only the jehovah`s witnesses victims would be very disheartened to learn that.individual states and territories of government within australia do not support a national redress scheme to compensate victims of child sexual abuse .. the south australian govt.
to my understanding is they will never do so .
Thanks for that clarification shepherdless .
In earlier reports the JW`s had objections to joining the redress scheme also ,I wonder how that`s going.
In that ABC regional radio station report it also said that the Catholic Church supported the redress scheme proposed by the Government.And at least they have come out with public apologies .
Not so the Jehovah Witness Organization
Congregation`s deny such a problem even exists and blame it on apostate lies

Sorry Hecce I don`t have a link it was reported on ABC radio station and I haven`t been getting the papers lately so I don`t know if it was reported there.
And I haven`t seen anything on TV about it either.
a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.
Shouldn`t this sort of information be forwarded on to leah Rehmini ? who is supposed to be looking at doing an expose on the Jehovah Witness religion ?
I hope somebody does this i`m pc illiterate
Isn`t this the type of information she could use ?
Also the loans to Kingdom halls that were cancelled out loans that may have had a few years to go that were then cancelled by the organization only to introduce a voluntary contribution that matched what you were paying on your loan but now you were committed to paying that same amount forever ?
If that`s not a scam then what is ?

Thank`s for the post jochie I hope this helps to wake up more Jw`s in "Dutch" land that it is not an Apostate lie that their is an ongoing problem with the way the JW organization handles child sexual abuses in their congregations kudos to the dutch national Television station for airing this program I only hope they keep up with further developments in how the JW organization respond to such allegations and what they plan to do about addressing the problem or if they are just going to deny/ignore it.
i can see it happening.... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/10/kim-yo-jong-meets-south-korean-president-in-seoul-as-thaw-continues.
I wonder how many of the North Koreans will apply for political Asylum after tasting some "western" freedoms/democracy and how north Korea will re- act then ?
gosh, smiddy, it's nice to have a request for poetry!.
"the black oaks" describes where i live in the california sierra foothills; we are, for the most part, above the fog and below the snow.
nevertheless, we do get both occasionally.
A sea mist rolling in giving you that eerie feeling of the moors of England or Transylvania where Frankenstein ,Dracula or the Wolfman were going to emerge from. I loved those movies when I was a kid.
Thinking back to my childhood in the 40`s and 50`s watching these B grade movies that never seem to leave you.
My wife worked at Hamilton Island for 3 months at one time and we spent a holiday their I gather you enjoyed your stay in that vicinity ?
Do or did you have family or friends their ?
That black and white photo of the "Tree" is so majestic and haunting I think it captivates a time of awe and mystery of what could or does unfold around it.

hon.
california state senators and assembly members please introduce draft bill (rn 1803892) to reform california's clergy "penitent communication" privilege statutes to align with appellate court decisions by february 16, 2018.. since 2018 is an election year, this bill will help voters become more informed about politicians' positions on changing societal and institutional cultures by reforming california statutes to prevent child abuse or child sexual abuse, or civil statute of limitation reform in california in 2019.. this bill is intended to increase public safety, prevent abuse survivors from being re-traumatized in religious disciplinary meetings, prevent religious leaders from using "undue influence" to manipulate individuals and discourage reporting of abuse and neglect, and reduce court costs passing judgment on overly broad interpretations of clergy "penitential communication" privilege that attempt to shield a religion or clergy from not fulfilling their duty to report abuse and neglect in california.. thank you,.
I gather this only applies to those living in the USA ?

where voices long silenced can find an audience.
RIP John Perry Barlow ,for your contributions to the Arts .Music
I thank not God but Science and technology for bringing about the World Wide Web etc. for allowing us to seek and search out information at the touch of a keyboard.
just thought i'd start a thread about favourite movies.
mine, in no particular order, are .... alien - a great visual film.
the chest-bursting scene is still great to watch, no matter how many times i've seen the movie.
Colour purple ? And it never got one Oscar ? Shame on the Academy!
It should have got twelve.
