The WT's response seems to be focused on addressing as little as they can and obfuscate the rest.
That no GoBo member showed up to defend their policies or show how they could improve clearly presents a hierarchy that is willing to sacrifice the underlings and throw them under the bus.
I soooo wish that other countries will follow the lead of the Australians and look into this matter. Only when it becomes a problem for the WT in country after country will they really make any effort to change their failed policies.

So the ARC has received communications from across the world and did he say, ..all have been negative.
and in Jan the ARC received notice from the wt in NY that none of the GB would be available. Still pursuing the 'ignore it and it will go away' policy.
American readers here must now push for a Presidential investigation.

The reporter noted in an appalled voice, "Victims had to give evidence in front of their abuser!"

Go Get 'Em, Angus!
Revoke their tax exempt status and see how fast WT/GB can get some "New Light" on their two-witness rule.

Yeah, 'cause that's worked out so well for them recently.

And for all the naysayers who insist that this'll "never happen"...
...ten bucks says we're a lot closer to it now than we were, say, five years ago.

" No one was " available " to appear from the main United States governing Body . " Bull pucky. GB members could make time to appear if they wanted to. This shows child abuse isn't a big issue to them

flipper - "...child abuse isn't a big issue to them..."
Oh, I think it is...
...inasmuch as they are bound and determined to...
a) ...keep the R&F from grasping just how big a problem it actually is...
b) ...not allow "Satan's World" to push them into improving their vaunted "Bible-based" policies, or...
c) ...admit - even to themselves - that said vaunted policies are making the problem worse instead of fixing it.
