So, he sees the testimony of "Eli", & I guess he wasn't toooooo worried about his testimony being messed up, so that he could be "objective"... was he?

"The other principle that would apply is confidentiality"....
Well, if you were sickened... why did you not encourage her, and take those actions then? (as in helping her out by going to court with her, as you did later)

"We are following well established principles, having two witnesses" he thinks he sounds so righteous, royal, elevated.
Do you appreciate that the Civil Courts CAN act on just one witness?

Ooops, he admitted, if he had those 'other witnesses' (her little sisters) he would have proceeded differently.

Angus, " I'll come back to some documents that may refresh your memory, in a minute"
Do these 'elders' know of all the WT letters the RC posses?

Such simple questions by Angus make it very clear that these men have no real ability to protect..
He simply repeats what he has been told by the FDS, "if a person is repentant, he is allowed to attend meetings, and we would keep an eye on him" ...
And what if he had been an abuser of his family, would you be able to watch him in the home?
No...

much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.

her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.

astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.

umbertoecho: tell your family, "it's not persecution, it's accountability"....
I love this phrase, I read it on another topic here (can't remember who, sorry)
Perhaps ask them if any of the victims have had their lives torn apart, or if they had been "stumbled", and if they remember how Jesus felt about matters as these.
(Matthew 18:2-6) 2 So, calling a young child to him, he set it in their midst 3 and said: “Truly I say to YOU, Unless YOU turn around and become as young children, YOU will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 4 Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one that is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens; 5 and whoever receives one such young child on the basis of my name receives me [also]. 6 But whoever stumbles one of these little ones who put faith in me, it is more beneficial for him to have hung around his neck a millstone such as is turned by an ass and to be sunk in the wide, open sea.
