i've quickly read through watchtower's submission to the royal commission.
seems like they aren't planning to change policy anytime soon.
they are critical of how the royal commission handled the situation.. the tone is of the submission is shear arrogance.

These people are incorrigible. But then when an organization thinks they are superior race, they'll thumb their nose at anybody.
I don't have the time to create a nice summary....sorry.
It's an interesting read.
will just post the general findings by counsel for the commission (angus stewart) - case specific ones are prior to them.
in short, absolutely damning.. not been through every submission myself yet.

okay i was talking to an elder and he said me going to university was a bad idea and i should have listened to the society and not gone.
but i said that when i went to university the watchtower was saying it might not be a bad idea to go to, as long as you do it for the "right reasons", don't associate with worldly people, and keep clear of "damaging ideas".
but basically they said it was okay, in this "changing world" and job market to go to university.

my health took a beating over the years with stress from various sources, not a little from the wt; and dangerous areas of work involving fumes and so on.

When my son was little (age 4-5) we happened to sit on the front row during the Sunday talk of the CO visit. My husband sat at isle seat, I sat next to my husband and our son next to me.
During the talk my son would turn to me so I could help him find the scripture. After the meeting the CO takes me to the side to talk to me.
He told me that it would have been best if my son would sit next to his dad. As the head of the house my husband should have been the one to help our son with the scriptures not me.
I told the CO that hubby was a very attentive dad and he and our son had a great relationship but that during the meeting it was always our custom that he sat next to me since his dad would get up to do mikes or sound. CO said it didin't matter because it made my husband look like he wasn't doing his job as the head of the family. I couldn't believe this guy. The funny thing is he never said a word to my husband.
i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.
could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?
perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.
