  The ARC into Institutionalised Child Sexual Abuse by organizations highlited the evil cruel practice of the Jehovah`s Witness organization of the policy of shunning of its members and especially the victims of sexual abuse by the organization.

  I have yet to see any further naming or shaming of any institutions religious or otherwise or any other restrictions / loss of funding etc,put upon them for not joining up to the Redress Scheme set up by the Australian Government.

  There was supposed to be a meeting to have taken place on July the 8th that I have heard nothing about .

  If anybody has any information about that it would be much appreciated.

  Decades ago, when I was an elder, (OMG I can't believe I ever thought that being an elder was a good thing) a young sister accepted a blood transfusion. She had 2 very young children at home and certainly didn't want to die and leave her kids motherless. When the elders were informed, we formed a committee to investigate. I was on the committee with 2 other self righteous elders! She admitted that she caved under "pressure" (AKA common sense based on medical science). We "gave" her strong counsel and private reproof and she was not df'ed.

  Moral of the story:

  It's easier to ask for "forgiveness" than to ask for permission!

  just saying!
