sorry as this topic may have been covered many times but any thoughts or links to other topics on how the pro-jw websites are commenting on this.. rub a dub.
Pretty sure they know about it by now.
Yeah and their internet presents and mod of operation involving extreme censorship of information that can be presented.
I sure wish the RC had the Xenophobic assembly talk by Lett to listen to I'm sure this might come under the UN's anti Xenophobia statements.

looking at some of the events that led up to the rc in australia i came across this letter, submitted to the d.p.p.
by steven upthank, in relation to the crown discontinuing prosecution of the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.
i think they were just telling the arc what they wanted to hear.. what do you think?.
couple of interesting quotes:.
"mr o'brien, co-ordinator of the church's australian branch committee, told the commission the organisation was "open to change".. in evidence, he said the committee would consider the greater involvement of women in child sex abuse cases, clearer guidance for elders hearing allegations and better communication with victims and their families about their legal options.. mr o'brien told the commission the church did not have a redress scheme for sex abuse victims but would consider establishing one.. vincent toole, head of the church's watchtower bible and tract society, told the commission he would seek independent legal advice about the church's obligations to report child sex abuse to the authorities.. justice mcclellan asked mr toole if he understood there was a general obligation for every citizen to report crimes to the authorities.. "coming to this commission has been a wake-up call for me, i can assure you," mr toole said.. www.smh.com.au/nsw/royal-commission-jehovahs-witnesses-to-review-approach-to-sex-abuse-allegations-20150805-gis2fh.html.
pray for brother jackson of the governing body!.
in todays news from australia it appears that, despite his previous declination to appear when invited, justice mcclellan from the australian royal commission on child sex abuse will officially summon brother geoffrey jackson to the stand after all.. ..... the commission was due to conclude its hearings into the jehovahs witnesses on wednesday but justice mcclellan said he will now call geoffrey jackson, a senior member of the churchs governing body in new york who is currently in australia, to appear next week.. .

Toole - "Coming to this commission has been a wake-up call for me, I can assure you..."
I bet Toole and others will be singing like canaries on the "wittless" stand if and when faced with doing some hard time over not reporting a crime. Right now they are still trying to please and protect the Governing Body but when faced with the gravity of their actions and denial and doing some prison time they will turn on the WT corporation when they see the writing on the wall so to speak.

I wonder if the extreme censorship of proJW sites with the threat of DF'ng if one even speaks of something negative about the WT corporation should be brought to the Royal Commission attention to show how controlling the Governing Body is in not allowing any thing negative about the Organization to be even spoken among its members.
I think this is an important fact that they need to be made aware of in order to solve this problem with child abuse.

This ought to put some starch in the shorts of every GB member. Up till now they have been pretty untouchable as far as going to court and give testimony for their bad behavior. I'm sure we might see some changes in the Organization once these policy makers start getting hauled off to court, I'm thinking there might be enough evidence by these commission hearings to latter bring criminal charges in the other courts and perhaps even here in the USA home of the Governing Body.
I'm sure no matter how deluded these GBs might be they are shitting their pants right now as they see the laws are finally catching up with them and their cruel male chuavanistic asses.
i wondered when it would happen!
twice this past week, they have had the cart set up at the end of the kh property on the main road.
the two people with it were sitting about 100 feet back, in the shade of a tree.
i popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.
it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.
here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.
OMG you had them running they acted as if you were Satan in the flesh. Cart witnessing to the JW's it is almost like you got a captive audience unless they decide to run away with their fingers in their ears.
I was thinking maybe have about 2 or 3 people go to where they are cart witlessing seperately with the same subject and then meeting them as a group and talk about the same point (like the commissions public inquiry into child abuse inside the Australian congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses I'm sure GB Jackson testimony should be made known to every JW whether they want to hear it or not).
