cofty - or who otherwise requires a Working with Children Check clearance for their role...
But is anybody in the cult going to be required to obtain a Working with Children Check or will they continue to hide behind the claim that they don't work with children?
On 26 July 2011 the prosecution of the JW leaders and Watchtower commenced in the Magistrate's Court of Victoria, Australia, over the refusal of the religion to comply with the mandatory Working with Children (WWC) Check. Seven months the case lasted before the court. The JW leaders were facing potential prison sentences.
The net result of this action has been that all 7,000 elders and ministerial servants have been forced to comply with the WWC as well as several thousand pioneers and publishers who preach to or study with children.
Changes to the laws in Australia, which are currently underway, and the new recommendations of the ARC will force all elders and publishers in all congregations to report child abuse to the authorities and not to Watchtower (i.e. Bethel). In this both Watchtower and the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses lose control and are relegated to being mere observers.
The power of veto of elder appointments in congregations will shift from the governing body and their defacto holy spirit to the government justice departments in that elders can only be apointed as elders with the approval of the justice departments via the issuing of a WWC card. No card no apointment. Further, any elder, ministerial servant or pioneer accused of any serious criminal offence will have their WWC card suspended until the case is heard. The elder or ministerial servant must be removed from their position within the congregation.

So, would we call the GB our Uncles, Aunts, Sisters or Cousins???

ok, so try and follow me here.... according to jw doctrinal teachings, the gb are "christ's brothers".

humans are all "god's children".

so does that make the gb our "uncles"?.
jwleaks

stan livedeath - so--the GB are christs brothers now ?
but jesus is the son of god. so are the GB also gods sons ?
Yes. The GB are indeed Christ's brothers as they have the same father. The GB are also Christ's bride and will shortly enter into a same-sex marriage with their siblings.

According to JW teachings the marriage has not yet taken place. Therefore it is appropriate to refer to the GB as 'bastards'.
- smiddy - Arent we all products of an incestuous relationships? After all , Adam and Eves offspring had sexual relations with each other and so did their offspring and on and on it went.
  Eve was made from Adam's rib as a literal female clone. Therefore Adam had sexual relations with himself, i.e. with his own clone, a female male. Confused? Well consider ... jehovah's wife is his own offspring (think daughter) who as his wife will also marry his own son thereby creating a heavenly same-sex marriage.

JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."
by Muddy Waters in

2. beliefs
this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

feel free to add your own observations and experience.

the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

It's not child rape, it's fornication. It's not a criminal offence, it's a sin.
