with all the talk about the org's policies and failures regarding child sexual abuse being publically exposed in australia, i thought that it may be a good time to highlight this... i apologise if this has already been discussed, but on the 9th of july the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales was opened.
here is some information regarding it's aims.. "about the inquiry.
the inquiry offers an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in england and wales have taken seriously their responsibility to protect children.. the inquiry will investigate a wide range of institutions including:.
And perhaps we could add:
"If you fill in the online form, you have taken the first step towards the Watchtowers failure to protect children, and their many cover-ups , being exposed publically.
It is even possible their representatives may be called to a public hearing (like with the Australian Royal Commission), if people come forward.
You can help to bring this about. "

What does the above post mean?
We need to encourage anyone who was abused (whilst they were a JW especially) to contact the Inquiry.
What is the best way to put this (approximate) message out there? >>
.................
Were you a Jehovah's Witness in England or Wales? Or did you or your family attend meetings, or associate with them?
If you experienced sexual abuse as a child and the elders did nothing about it, please contact the Independent Inquiry.
"We want to hear from:
..anyone who was sexually abused as a child in an institutional setting like a care home, a school or a religious, community or state organisation, or who first came into contact with their abuser in an institutional setting
..anyone who was sexually abused as a child, and reported their sexual abuse to a person in authority, like a police officer or teacher [or ELDERS], where the report was ignored or not properly acted on"
You can share your experience anonymously and in confidence, here is the page if you want to help out:

And this explains how the Inquiry will work:

Please post if you have shared this information on Facebook etc.

I hope this was worthwhile..
when i thought of myself as a christian witness of yahweh attempting to be a footstep follower of jesus, psalm 104 was one of my favourites.
if i was ever in some wonderful scenic area, psalm 104 would jump into my mind, and i'd start to praise yahweh and jesus.. but if something horrible came to mind as in the following video, i'd always think of the favourite christian escape clause, it's all because of adam's sin.
but any connection between natural animal savagery and adam's sin is never logically made in the bible.. interestingly, the supposedly inspired psalm 104 (nwt-the grey one i guess) itself says that:.
Oh, and this part he missed as well..
Where is the evidence for this 'basic original blueprint of peace, harmony and generalized herbivory'?
In the Bible?

Nice post..
But Perry may not get the sarcasm ;)
He still hasn't responded to my post regarding the ancient predators that existed millions of years ago. That was not addressed in the link he posted.
Or why God remembering the animals in the ark was used as an indication that he cares about animals. (After the premeditated mass murder known as the Flood).

earlier this morning the royal commission website stated:.
"the royal commissions public hearing into the jehovahs witnesses will recommence in sydney on friday 14 august 2015 at 11:00am.. it is anticipated that the hearing will hear from one witness, mr geoffrey jackson, a member of the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.
"now that has been changed.
That's just a different page than the one posted earlier, with less details.
No need to panic!
Geoffrey Jackson would make Jehovah's organisation look very bad if he runs away, and the ARC will accept no excuses..
