many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.
sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.
those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

Monica Applewhite holds a Master’s of Science in Social Work and a Ph.D. in Clinical Social Work [all non-related to child abuse]. She has spent the past 22 years studying abuse and using her findings to help organizations prevent and respond to incidents and allegations of abuse. Dr. Applewhite has conducted root-cause analysis on approximately 1800 incidents of abuse in organizations [ARC finding of 1800 incidents of abuse within the Jehovah's Witness religion in Australia]. Root-cause analysis is a research method that allows an incident or accident to be traced back to triggers or circumstances that permitted the problem to occur – the “root cause.” In situations of abuse or maltreatment, an organization can use root-cause analysis to identify the points at which abuse could have been prevented or detected more quickly. Using the findings from hundreds of organizations, Dr. Applewhite has developed [unpublished] educational programs for children, parents, staff, and administrators, as well as recommendations for modifications to programs, policies, and facilities. She has assisted more than 300 organizations worldwide that serve children, youths, and vulnerable adults, including extensive on-site work with boarding and day schools, residential treatment programs, foster care, adoption, child care, mentorship programs, hospitals, child protective services, religious organizations [including Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower], family preservation services, kinship care, athletic and recreational programs, resident camps, day camps, waterparks, and pools.
In 2007, Dr. Applewhite began formally synthesizing her experience in organizations with an exhaustive [unpublished] review of the professional literature and historical documents so as to more clearly define the development of the standards of care for organizations to prevent and respond to the sexual abuse of children. Using state and federal law from the 1930s to today, available resources at the time, indicators of general public awareness, professional journals and books, as well as the body of knowledge regarding sexual offenders, effects and dynamics of abuse, treatment outcomes and the practices of similar organizations, Dr. Applewhite is able to provide clear answers [answers rejected byt the ARC] to the question of whether an organization did or did not meet the standards of care for prevention, detection, and response to abuse at the time. Dr. Applewhite has provided opinions and [unpublished or peer reviewed] reports regarding the standard of care in the civil litigation context in both a consultative and testifying capacity [including for Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower of which testimony was rejected by the ARC].
there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

Jehovah was a no show at the ARC. Maybe he was stuck in traffic or on the privy. I won't hold my 'next breath' that he'll be apologizing any time soon for what his elders clowns and his own circus organization was found guilty of practising.

by michelle brown.
jehovah's witnesses use of 2,000-year-old protocols when dealing with abuse complaints has been condemned in a report by the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. last year, the commission examined the experiences of two abuse survivors within the jehovah's witness organisation.. it also looked at evidence from case files that recorded reports or complaints of abuse by just over 1,000 jehovah's witnesses.
It's all over mainstream media in Australia:

We do not consider that Dr Applewhite’s report and the opinions expressed therein assist the Royal Commission in its inquiry for the following reasons:
•Dr Applewhite did not identify in her report or in oral evidence the facts and assumptions that she relied upon in forming her opinions.
•Opinions that Dr Applewhite expressed were in large part directed to how the Jehovah’s Witness organisation compares with other religious organisations in its response to child sexual abuse. The material on which the comparison could be made was not apparent in the report.
•Dr Applewhite’s report did not include consideration of the experiences of BCG and BCB or of any other survivor of child sexual abuse whose complaint was dealt with by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation. The report is limited to an opinion about the documented policies and other material rather than about the practical application and effect of those documented policies.
In these circumstances, we do not accept the opinions that Dr Applewhite expressed in paragraphs 36, 45 and 46 of her report. The evidence before the Royal Commission reveals serious failures in the practices and procedures of the Jehovah’s Witness organisation with respect to the sexual abuse of children.
