Yeap, there is no doubt that some will never quit believing. Even today there are some Branch Davidians that still live in or near the compound in Waco
Did the Governing Body sucessfully fend off this bad news on thier TV Broadcast??

The funny thing is who's lying, the only ones talking were the elders, the Royal commission, their just asking questions. -

No. The simple fact is that Stephen Lett lied on the 144,000 Club. He said these cases of child abuse are "apostate driven lies." Yet, as the facts show, the WTBTS has been settling these cases for years and years, they even admitted in court that they have a Pedo-data base, but refused to share it. Then Gerrit Loesch refused to answer a court subpeona.
To believe Lett, one would have to believe that none of these cases ever happened. I suppose the WTBTS never paid out any money either.
They have deflected some heat for the time being. I don't call it a success, even though some Watchtards will always exist.

These are not coming from the world. the accusations are coming from jw children and their parents within the org.
WT offenders do have a protection against the world if they keep their abusing to family and congregation members. The policy here does help them because if you think there isnt a whole lot taken care of with a comment about not making jahs people look bad then youd be naive. Or a dad going directly to the one accused by his child and dropping it at that point because of denial, repentance or some other old boys club understanding that makes sense to those 2 alone.

Yup, they sure as heck knew this was coming. Why else would the Oct. Study WT have the article (already mentioned) about "The Naive Person Believes Every Word." Notice these little nuggets from that article:
And what should you do if you find slanderous news about Jehovah’s organization on the Internet? Such material should be firmly rejected. Some feel that they must bring it to the attention of others to get their opinion, but all that does is propagate the malicious information. If we feel troubled about something we see on the Internet, we should ask Jehovah for wisdom and speak to mature brothers about it. (Jas. 1:5, 6; Jude 22, 23) Jesus, who was the object of false accusations, warned his followers that enemies would persecute them and “lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against [them].” (Matt. 5:11; 11:19; John 10:19-21) We need to use “thinking ability” and “discernment” to identify “the man speaking perverse things” and those “whose entire course is devious.”
...
Above all, love refuses to believe malevolent insinuations about Jehovah’s organization or lies about our brothers that are circulated by people who are slaves to “the father of the lie,” Satan the Devil.
Wouldn't it be interesting if the Commission knew how they were being described in the latest WT? Or how the victims are being described?

Did the Governing Body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?
Is this why they starting asking for all the money from all the Kingdom Halls??
Do they know more is coming?

Sure they knew it was coming. Damage control.
The funny thing is what they wrote in that WT , "ask Jehovah for wisdom and speak to mature brothers about it." I find this hilarious. If you spoke to them about it you would be DFed for apostasy. What a joke!!

Of course they knew about it. That was the only reason AM3 spoke in the broadcast of this month about child abuse.
I am sure though they didn't expect it to go viral around the world with every big media station reporting about it.
THE GREAT TRIBULATION STARTED; but only for this organisation.
