How soon would a new Elders' Book leak?
by Lemonp inas the shepherd the flock book is now in the public domain, if the .org decides to create a new manual, how soon will it be leaked?.
this is mostly a question for wifibandit, but anyone else who may know is welcome to answer.
would it be a matter of days before we get a .pdf?

Easy to answer. There was a copy of the new digital version on this site before all elders knew about the letter announcing it -

This article indicates the org will consider policy changes
by defender of truth ini think they were just telling the arc what they wanted to hear.. what do you think?.
couple of interesting quotes:.
"mr o'brien, co-ordinator of the church's australian branch committee, told the commission the organisation was "open to change".. in evidence, he said the committee would consider the greater involvement of women in child sex abuse cases, clearer guidance for elders hearing allegations and better communication with victims and their families about their legal options.. mr o'brien told the commission the church did not have a redress scheme for sex abuse victims but would consider establishing one.. vincent toole, head of the church's watchtower bible and tract society, told the commission he would seek independent legal advice about the church's obligations to report child sex abuse to the authorities.. justice mcclellan asked mr toole if he understood there was a general obligation for every citizen to report crimes to the authorities.. "coming to this commission has been a wake-up call for me, i can assure you," mr toole said.. www.smh.com.au/nsw/royal-commission-jehovahs-witnesses-to-review-approach-to-sex-abuse-allegations-20150805-gis2fh.html.

Well lets look at the statment.....:
"In evidence, he said the committee would consider the greater involvement of women in child sex abuse cases" - this is clearly total and utter bullsh**t. Women will never be allowed in the judicial process.
"clearer guidance for elders hearing allegations and better communication with victims and their families about their legal options" - this is doable but what does it really mean? 'Brother before you report a pedo call the branch' is what will amount to.
that whole statment amounted to a carefully crafted 'say what you want to hear but mean what we want it to' bit of trickery.

"Brother Lett is like a big cuddly teddy bear!"
by purrpurr ini had this said to me the other day by a jw who is fully brain washed.
it gave me shivers to think is that really how the r&f perceive the gb?

If he was a catholic bishop instead of a GB member they would call him a creep. The brain washing allows them to see what they want. -

Crow, on that point there is a reasonable explanation. In the USA the legal age of consent is 18. It is not uncommon in mexican communities for 19 and 20 year old males to be involved with 16 or 17 year old females. Legal that is pedophila but the congregation (and much of the community) do not view as it such. I have been told that clause you mentioned is specifically aimed at the mexican population. -

I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.
by joe134cd inwt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.
i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.
so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.
