  Hi,friends , I doubt that the Jehovah`s Witnesses will sign up and in one way it is a good thing because it will bring reproach on the name of GOD and his supposed Organization, if the Govts.are true to theire word they should name and shame them

  for not signing up.

  One of the reasons for not signing up is because they do not share interfaith with other Christian religions.

  However they seem to have no problem selling their KH`s to Christendoms religions .?

  But if any member of the JW`s has any dealings with another Church you will be brought before the Judicial Committee to explain yourself and maybe end up disfellowshipped.

  If ,and I don`t beleive there will be any persecution ,but if it did occur it would be because they brought it upon themselves .

  Hopefully the Australian government makes this the last chance for them to join and then backdate the tax exempt status to all the money even the money they moved out off the country.

  And a apology to the victims and survivors so they can have a measure of justice.

  The only way the governments will get real results is for them to criminalize actions for which we condemn the Jehovah's Witnesses. For starters, a religious leader becoming aware of child sexual abuse and not reporting it to the authorities should be held criminally responsible. *

  Yes, JWs are immoral for their stand and actions. But they manage to blur the lines and make everything grey. Its time for governments to stop relying on religions to do the right things and force them to act like civilized human beings.

  * I would still allow for the one-on-one confessions where no authority is part of the procedure; just like confessing of a crime to a lawyer.

  It's too late for the reproach concern. WT caused reproach by not acknowledging the problem, attempting to cover it-up and by not cooperating with authorities such as the Royal commission. WT is now the example of the worst organization which is least Godlike.

  If WT wanted to promote itself as God's true organization, it would have early on acknowledged the problem and have taken a leadership role in development of policies and procedures to correctly deal with the situation as a shining example to the world.
