  it is fascinating!

  I had a conversation with an active witness in western Canada. Had no knowledge of it. Had no knowledge of other cases as well. This person was somewhat surprised and shaken by the information and couldn't believe these cases were purposely hidden by the org. and elders.

  there is so much information on the website of the hearing.

  you can find the full transcripts of each day there as pdf.. but also the evidence list is very interresting.

  it contains many confidential letters from congregations but also from the hq to branch offices.. the full list can be seen here: http://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/exhibits/636f01a5-50db-4b59-a35e-a24ae07fb0ad/case-study-29,-july-2015,-sydney.

  I've always loved this site for stuff like this. Thanks everyone. This is going to hurt. I wonder how they'll explain that to the flock.

  that's a crazy question.. they really mean, "do you regret your decesion to leave".. ---.

  it's just an ice breaker to become nosy into one's personal life.. ---.

  btw, last time i was asked this, no, everytime i'm asked this i reply with: "i'm never coming back".. they seem to hear that.. .

  I've always felt going out in service on holidays to be a serious invasion of privacy. Just couldn't get myself to do it.

  I wonder if Tony went out in service this morning?

  i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.

  i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.

  i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.

  Like I previously mentioned no one has knowledge of the truth so everyone has a "fallacy-ridden theology" lurking somewhere in their mind. That's OK, as long as you don't try to impose your ideas on others. I find there are much smarter people than myself, evident by many on this forum.

  I remember going over to H2O and although I had been disfellowshipped for years I was still in the JW mindset. Man did I make a fool of myself..lol.

  And now look at me, I'm almost an atheist..
