I was married to a 30 year old JW back in the 90's and he claimed to be of the annointed. He partook at the memorials and all the elders and older JDubs didnt believe him. They actually gave him a really hard time. (this was before they suggested ones like him may have mental issues) These elders,CO's along with men and women would now be around the ages of 60-80 years old and I often wonder how they feel now seeing some of the GB members being just over 55.

I wonder if there would be penalties if for instance the elders in a congregations or the Society in general do not report a child abuser. As we know due to the Royal Comisssion that in most cases they do not report these people to the police. -

I think a Royal Commission is different from ordinary summons to appear at court.
ROYAL COMMISSIONS ACT 1902 - SECT 3
1) A person served, as prescribed, with a summons to appear as a witness at a hearing before a Commission shall not:
(a) fail to attend as required by the summons; or
(b) fail to attend from day to day unless excused, or released from further attendance, by a member of the Commission.
Penalty: $1,000 or imprisonment for 6 months.
(1A) Subsection (1) is an offence of strict liability.
Note: For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code .
(1B) Subsection (1) does not apply if the person has a reasonable excuse.
(2) A person appearing as a witness at a hearing before a Commission shall not fail to produce a document or other thing that the person was required to produce by a summons under this Act served on him or her as prescribed or that the person was required to produce by the member of the Commission presiding at the hearing.
Penalty: $1,000 or imprisonment for 6 months.

Did you hear that!? His Honour is insisting that Jackson attend the Royal Commission
by umbertoecho ini actually started clapping at that point, as his honour explained to the wt type creep sycophantic slithery lawyer that........" i understand that we all have issues to face in life and .....that is a part of life...........however it has become obvious that this man ....is in such a position to assist with this investigation.....".
it boils down to the fact that stewart outright accused the latest witness of misleading the royal commission and this lead to some document searches which led his honour to conclude that they had been protecting mr jackson.
this was a warm and fluffy moment folks.................brilliant stuff!!!!!

The Royal Commission in Australia are holding a public hearing in July in regard to child abuse within the Watchtower.
I believe the latest Sophie and Caleb video is to show that they have something in place to protect the children.
Two things the commission is looking for from them is:
· . The systems, policies and procedures in place within the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd for raising and responding to allegations of or concerns about child sexual abuse within the Church.
4. The systems, policies and procedures in place within the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia Ltd to prevent child sexual abuse within the Church.

DISGRUNTLED Jehovah’s Witness was caught on camera poisoning his elder’s milk with weed killer after being excommunicated over an extramarital affair, a court has heard.For the first time, The Advertiser can name and show Brett Darren Mardon, who is standing trial accused of attempting to put three lives at risk — the elder, his wife and their young child.
He has denied injecting milk, apple juice and other liquids in the refrigerator of Ben Anthanysz with glyphosate — a weed killer that causes health problems if consumed in large quantities.
Mardon has maintained his innocence of the charges despite being recorded by a CCTV camera mounted in the Anthanysz’s kitchen.
Opening the trial, prosecutor Nick Healy said Mardon’s actions were a vengeful response to his church peers ignoring his existence, as required by their faith.
He said Mr Anthanysz had been part of a three-person Jehovah’s Witness committee that censured Mardon “for having sex with someone while married.
Mardon was part of the Jehovah’s Witness congregation based at Crafers, and was excommunicated because of moral issues,” he said.
“An excommunicated member is still entitled to attend church meetings, however none of the congregation can speak to him while they are there.”
Mardon, 47, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempting to create a risk of harm and three counts of serious criminal trespass in a place of residence.
He has pleaded guilty, however, to two counts of theft — namely stealing personal documents from Mr Anthanysz’s home.
