When I watched those "now elderly" victims breakdown when interviewed, the full extent of the damage that the abuse does really hit me very hard ! [BBC Report on Inquiry into the children who were shipped off to Australia].

the independent inquiry was set up after the death of dj jimmy savile in 2011 when hundreds of people came forward to say he had abused them as children.. the hearings are taking place at the international dispute resolution centre in central london, with the first phase concerning australia expected to last 10 days..

Interesting cross reference
by Steel inhebrew 1 8-12 .
but about the son, he says: “god is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.
you loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness.

Steel You gonna have to be thick-skinned to hang around here unfortunately -
There is a strong tendency on the site to "attack" anyone who does espouse things in a manner you have. Then again there are some truly useful contributors too -
I enjoy the Bohemian nature of this site and the fact that many are so on top of certain things Borg related ...including getting first dibs on stuff coming out of Borgland.
You can also visit Beroean Pickets site - you wont get any rude responses there

Without the [current] support of your spouse you will probably be struggling with angst along with a host of other emotions and feelings -
I can only hope it will change - I was in an almost ditto situation to yours - and I am still struggling with tremendous anger issues against the Borg. My wife and kids are out too, but with her it too may never have happened. She had her light-bulb moment while in hospital for Breast-Cancer and it was a true light-bulb moment !!
She had never been exposed to any "apostate" material at all. She simply read the Bible ....in bed ....without the use of the WT pub. and something "clicked" . Who knows.. maybe your wife will have a similar exp.
Btw you used the term Primary School in your first post.....are you in Aussie? South Africa?

A company is entitled to make decisions in the best interests of the company - Which is generally.......preserve the bottom line.
Please let us see the next episode in this case US friends ! It could be significant in terms of how Labour Law is used in this case.
The company has already gone the extra mile in finding him the alternative post -
He has made a lot of unsubstantiated claims and he is going to find it hard to bring Substance to that.
You can make all sorts of requests of your employer but circumstance may mitigate against the employer being able to accede to you requests for all sorts of reasons. Talk about being reasonable before all men!
Would like to get the facts regarding why he clocked - in late ?? Was it for an evening or night shift ? Because if it was for a normal day shift it would be a ludicrous act on his part ! " I was manning a Trolley Cart at the railway station this morning ......its my right to be late !""

Thank You Stephanie Fessler

congratulations on your victory.
in a better world there would be no need to pursue such a cause, therefore congrats are tempered with unfortunate reality.

Lets say.....................the JW are right about 607.....!
They still have to answer why they are a Pedo-Protecting Borg ....why they whored with the UN for 10 years......why they constantly flip - flop teachings and why they are trying to retract from their 1914 / 1918 / 1919 / teachings and have now got conjoined triplets to explain the Generations crap they have spouted /
It still does not prove they have "The Truth" ...................dodo !
