Episode 14: Jehovah's Witnesses in the High Court - Part 2

Join us for part 2 of Lindy’s conversation with Shayne and Rachael about the JWs application to be exempt from the NZ Royal Commision of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. They examine the arguments that played out in court, providing a fascinating case study of a faith-based group’s reaction to being investigated by outsiders. Lindy, Liz and Caz then unpack the interview and ask if the behaviour displayed by the JWs under scrutiny gives indications of cultishness, coercion or control.  Listen to Part One (Episode 13) here Show Notes Jehovah's Witnesses head to court on Abuse in Care Inquiry - RNZJehovah's Witnesses' argument against being included in Abuse in ...Jehovah's Witnesses 'care' outside scope of abuse inquiry, court toldJehovah's Witnesses apply for judicial review of Royal CommissionThe rules and culture that keep child sex offenders hidden ... - RNZSomething Evil - 10 August 2023RNZ investigation reveals 11 alleged paedophiles active within the Jehovah's Witnesses - 14 August 2023Jehovah’s Witness elder alleges order to destroy evidence in child sex abuse cases - 15 August 2023Silent lambs - The Spin Off - Jully 2018 **Update** High Court decides the Jehovah Witnesses will continue to be included in the Royal Commission.
