sorry i have to remain completely anonymous about this but you will see why.
i have first hand knowledge that geoffrey jackson of the governing body is staying with his parents in toowoomba, queensland for the next few weeks.
he has already been in australia for a couple of weeks.
Why do you stick to the 2 witness rule from Deuteronomy 19:15 when the same book of the bible in Deuteronomy 22:28, 29 it says that a woman that was raped has to marry her rapist and you don't follow that?
This question will backfire as there is a New Testament version approx. the same.
every week there is some sort of demonstration on how to offer the latest magazines or monthly offer.. will hq prepare the flock for the inevitable flood a questions about the abuse scandal or will the poor sheep be left to navigate that field on their own?.

firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.
no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.
it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.
Umbertotecho... you are our hero!
this isnt particularly a jw question but if anyone knows the world of shunning it would be ex-jws.
i have a friend who about three years ago had an abortion and i havent been too friendly with since that happened.
i havent said anything or done anything rude to her.
The only way shunning really comes into play would be toward a family member, friend or workmate - people with whom you might otherwise have regular contact. All my family and friends shunned me when I left Watchtower.
That leaves workmates, and yes there have been a couple of real @$$%&!$ that I'll have nothing to do with. But unlike the JW system, I don't practice a total cutting off. I just choose not to associate. It's a pretty loose arrangement where they don't like me, I don't like them... no reason to seek each other out for companionship. We still work together professionally and respectfully.
my wife and i planned on fading but the elders now want a shepherding call and we are just done.
i know that many play the game to try to stay in, but i'm not a game player and neither is my wife.
our families already shun us because we reached out to a disfellowshipped family member.
the gb needs to be subpenaed to testify just like losch was.
the commission needs to subpena each one individually and make separate fines when each one refuses.
This topic has me thinking about bounty hunters.
If a country like Australia were to summon a person from the United States and the person ignored the summons, short of requesting extradition, which is unlikely to be granted in a situation like the RC ( I think - maybe wrong), would it serve any beneficial purpose to hire a bounty hunter to snatch the summoned as he traveled to a country more conducive to being picked up?
The whole scenario is probably completely improbable and not worth the time and effort of the RC. However, such a threat could seriously limit the movements of the GB, preventing them from venturing too far from their imperial palace.
hello to those following what is going in australia with our royal commission.. i want to let all those abused, neglected, shunned and blamed that i understand why you may not front the rc.
the wtbts is hoping you will consider yourself an invalid complainant, because you are not or were not.....baptised.
if you were abused at a young age and you told on your dad or the bad man that did it.......you would have been taken aside by the overseer and read scriptures about lying and being immoral; even if you didn't know what that word meant.
The courage of you folks who have lived through stuff like this never ceases to amaze me. Talk about "letting your light shine".
Go get 'em, UMBERTOECHO!
so by now most of us have seen the clip of an elder getting owned by the attorney regarding why they don't seem to care for the children outside of the congregation by refusing to report suspected child abusers.
if not, here's a link:.

i cant wait for this to get bigger and bigger!!!
its sad that all of these people had such horrible things done to them, but now a bunch of crazy old perverts are going to pay for it!
For many elders... their world IS ending.
