As far as I can imagine, the .Org is in a Lose, Lose, Lose situation right now.
If Jackson shows to the RC, and policy chages, then bible interpretation was changed sans-holy spirit. Policy change is an admission of guilt, not helpful in future civil court cases. Class action perhaps.
If Jackson shows to the RC, and nothing changes, then they have the Aussie Government to face down, as well as the negative PR. Report of the RC would be strong evidence in future civil cases...
If Jackson has a no-show then the RC would be super angry, as well as showing all the JW's following the case his true colours. RC report would be even more damming. Also not good for future civil cases...
Any other options?
