What direction will the government take from the Royal Commission?

by barry in

friends

i have a friend at church that is a lawyer and he writes laws for the governments health department.. i asked him what the government will do with the directions of the royal commission?

he believes australian laws are already adequate and there will be no change in that area.

he added where we may see changes is in the area of compensation and that millions of dollars in compensation may be replaced with with tens of millions by guilty organisations.

Does the .Org have the gall to ignore the RC?

by Lemonp in

i have been mulling over the options that the wt has to take in regard to child abuse.

in my mind there are the following ones:.

1. overhaul their entire system, and apologize to all abuse victims.

Lemonp

I agree with all your points Oublette!

Ok, back on topic, what options are there?

Iown Mylife has chosen Option 2

Pistoff Has predicted Option 4/5

cattails has gone for Option 4

Should we set up a betting pool fund?

In my mind there are the following ones:

1. Overhaul their entire system, and apologize to all abuse victims. (JW Broadcasting Special)

2. Change nothing apart from mandatory reporting, denounce "Apostate Lies"

3. Quietly change their worldwide system whilst denouncing "Apostate Lies"

4. Change their system ONLY in Australia, denounce "Apostate Lies"

5. Cut Australia loose as a lost cause, change nothing, get banned/fines, denounce "Apostate Lies" + "Persecution"

Honestly I am fearful that they will go with option 4 or 5.

The .Org NEVER admits to any wrongdoing. They have demonstrated extreme eagerness not to change at all. The PR in Australia surely cannot be salvaged, even with telling the R&F to close their eyes and block their ears.

What do you think they will do? Any other possible options you think I have missed?

One of the most important questions.

by Lemonp in

it is enthralling having everything being dragged kicking and screaming into the light of day.

however one of the most important things to ask is this:.

is the rc evidence admissable in other countries and other courts?.

IF it is, then no future child abuse case could be defended. This would destroy the org.

Is the two-witness rule really unreasonable?

by stillin in

i'm picturing a situation in which a savvy 12 year old doesn't like the house rules that mom's new husband has put into place.

or something along that line.

i can certainly agree that protection of children is paramount, but who protects the real victim in those cases?

Lemonp

In theory it could be open to abuse by an accuser who has ill intent.

However in cases of child abuse, when 99% of victims are truthful, why punish 99% for the sake of a theoretical 1%?

And as said above, the police are in the best position to determine the validity of claims, NOT the Elders.

Highlight this fact: Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

by Lemonp in

i have discussed this with a few jw relatives.

all have tried to pass this off as a case to review a few bad cases.. highlight to them the name of the inquiry:.

royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.

Lemonp

Sorry that they are navel gazing, just open your eyes! All the evidence used in the Public hearing is posted on the website. Hundreds of letters to the branch and elders, and best of all, the Shepherd the Flock book. All from a trustworthy and non "apostate" source.

I have been threatened by my devout family in a round about sort of way. I have had a bad time due to what I can only say is.........fear of facts. I don't feel so good right now.
