there have been many gratifying moments during the royal commission's investigation into the watchtower society's handling of child abuse cases.
pulling apart the inept dr appewhites "expert" testimony, incompetant dozy elders hung out to dry, o'brien and toole's obfuscations and outright lies to name but few.. surely though in the long term in order to secure adequate redress, or compensation, for victims the grouping together of the wtbts with other of chrisendom's churches, is tantamount to admitting complicity in the sins of all reliigous institutions.
in other words the jw's are a church of sinners just like any other.as i understand it each org will contribute an amount comensurate with the no of their members and other calculations such as no of cases of abuse etc.so far the big boys (contributors)will be the catholic church and the jw's.the fds better start thinking on their feet as to how they are gonna explain this one away.. "get out of her my people if you do not want a share in her sins".
As I understand it each org will contribute an amount comensurate with the no of their members and other calculations such as no of cases of abuse
I haven't been able to follow the proceeding in any kind of detail.
Is the RC suggesting that institutions found to be mishandling child sex abuse claims should make contributions to a general fund which would then be used to compensate victims? Am I understanding your statement correctly?
"Get out of her my people if you do not want a share in her sins"
The innocent's cries have been heard 'clear up to heaven ' indeed.
These statements keep ringing in my ears as I observe this event.
we've been focusing on the fact that geoffrey jackson will be subpoenaed to be a witness at the australian royal commission but he will also be required to present a witness statement before his appearance.
even if he continues to wiggle out of the appearance he has no excuse for not presenting his witness statement.. this statement will have to address questions set out by the commission and will need to be answered.
without doubt the answers he is able to be aided by his lawyers and more 'experienced' jws but as he is signing the document they will be his answers and he will be responsible for their truthfulness.. had he shown more willingness to appear prior to yesterday the questions asked by the commission in that statement would not have been written with the same amount of insight that they now have.
What would happen to Jackson if he refuses to respond or show?
Jackson would never do that. As an anointed son of God and a fearless brother of Christ, once he heard the commission was looking for a governing body member he lifted his eyes heavenward and said, "Here I am Lord! Send me! Send me!"

on the next reveal, an investigation into the culture of secrecy within the jehovahs witnesses leads us to the story of one woman who was ostracized after she accused an elder of abusing her.. .
I really wasn't drunk when I did that last post ! I meant what is reveal and when is it ?
Mmmm-hmm...;)
anyone heard anything about this report on a j.w.
app?
wednesday 5 , day 7 live hearing.
case study 29, july 2015, sydney.
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?.
