Isn't it interesting that, according to JW theology, mankind's entire future hope and everlasting life relies upon the existence of alcohol. Even the governing body have no heavenly hope unless the existence of alcohol can be maintained.
Of course Jesus could have just as easily handed around a goat and said "drink milk from this teat of which milk represents my blood which is to be poured out."

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".

Great article.
australian child abuse royal commission rejects dr monica applewhite's evidence and testimony.. [quote] dr applewhite acknowledged that her report did not identify the basis on which she had formed her opinions.657 she accepted that her report failed to identify the ‘current standards’ of other religious organisations658 or which ‘religious organisations’ she referred to in writing her report.659 dr applewhite told the royal commission that her understanding of material provided to parents and families about sexual development in children by other faith-based organisations was ‘anecdotal’.660.
dr applewhite accepted that it would be difficult for the royal commission to accept the opinions expressed in paragraphs 36, 45, and 46 of her report because her report did not identify the basis on which those opinions were formed.661.
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:.

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.
