    I completely trust the expertise of the A.R.C. to continue to see through any smoke & mirrors which the org may again try to use as deceptive/lying measures.

    they are doing it for this case so I believe they will continue with case 54 on Friday. The ARC have also said the date may change so to keep checking.

    Well if the ARC is as good at cutting through bullshit as they were last time, a couple of questions should cut through the bluster of their 'new policies' and 'adjustments'.

    One being:

    Q: If a child makes an accusation of abuse and there are no witnesses, what do you do and how has this changed?

    Splash - "Since the ARC first investigated JWs, WT have released a number of new instructions and policy documents."

    All of which have overwhelmingly and staunchly reiterated their egregiously flawed stance.

    The WT is an experienced master of practised deceit. Only extreme levels of scrutiny will expose their craftiness, trickery and lies

    Amen to that. But Commissioner McClellan and the other ARC members are very good at cutting through Watchtowers verbal manipulations. I have a feeling that Watchtower will embarrass itself again in the upcoming sessions.

    It is such a pleasure to see Watchtower meet it's match.

    Pssh.

    The WT ain't even in the same league.
