A small update on the ongoing investigation by the Royal Commission
by umbertoecho ini think you people would like to know that since the public hearing has finished.
there has been ongoing contact made to me by the staff at the rc.
they have been inundated with calls and the same experiences or similar ones are being related.. the staff are not backwards in coming forwards with insights that they have shared.

umbertoecho To share what you have mentioned - they even respond to non-Australian data presented to them - I can confirm this in my own case - I received replies from none other than the CEO of the ARC itself - Philip Reed
Chief Executive Officer [as copied off an e-mail]Wow ! the responsiveness is touching and so it should encourage timid and fearful ones to come forward and one needs to let victims know this !
You certainly would not get a single response from the GB ! In fact as you may be aware if you phone the Service Desk you will not be told who you are speaking to - FACT. You get "the Voice" .......and the first 2 questions it asks is : Who are you and which congregation are you in. And that is to prevent it from being fingered in any litigation etc How Loving ! "Nearer my God to Thee"

Uh-oh, the elders want to pay us a visit!!
by BeautifulMind inso, hubby gets contacted today by one of the elders saying 2 of them want to pay us a visit and asks him when we are available.
we both had the heart drop feeling for a few minutes lol.
but he promptly, and politely, informed them that we are very busy but he will let them know when we are free.

You need to push aside the FEAR - it has dominated your lives.
My "deal" with them was:
You can come for a Beer and Barbecue but not a Tribunal - They have never been and all contact with the entire congregation has been severed by word of mouth it would seem [the grape-vine].
Free at Last !

We have a little harbour-village just outside Cape Town called Hout Bay and they have some crazy signs up even saying "Welcome to the Republic of Hout Bay" and you can even get a "passport" from the local Tourist Info centre - all tongue in cheek - in fact more non-HoutBayers own the passports - its a little money-spinner - I am sure the Oz folk are not this conceited and I also posit that the sign was put up by locals - its not an official govt sign. Chill out guys !
In fact if you care to google Orania - this is a little town in South Africa that is still in the Apartheid dark ages - everyone in the town is ..................................Caucasian - and you feel the white supremacy ideology very strongly. They still fly the old Aparheid flag in the town.

Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)
by NoMoreHustle inthis happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.
they say that this is direction from the "branch office".
i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

Well where exactly do you enter Australia ? Certainly not from any Mainland - and this photo looks decidedly outback - not exactly Sydney Airport - I think its a tongue in cheek sign ! -
