28At the mouth of 2-3 witnesses a matter is established .Gods word the bible proves a generation is 50 years +, or - 5 years
by smiddy injehovah`s witnesses make a big deal about the 2 or 3 witnesses in judicial decisions yet they ignore that evidence when it suits them.. firstly :.
regarding the length of a generation matthew ch.1:17 gives a strong clue ,their are 3 lots of 14 generations mentioned which equal 42 generations from the time of abraham to jesus .. watchtower publications give abrahams birth as 2018 bc......they also give jesus birth as of 2 bc a period of 2016 years .
2016 yrs.

Will Jehovah`s Witnesses join with other religions in Compensation Payouts ?
by smiddy injustice mcclellen asked g.jackson about compensation for victims of child abuse , and mcclellan suggested it be by a consortium of groups , presumably religious and secular in nature as a pool to dispense approppiate compensation to all of the victims involved .. g.jackson hesitated and said they would have to look at the details of that proposal , before committing to it.. jehovah`s witnesses consider themselves as the only true religion and ,all others as false religion .. they take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.they want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.. so how do you think they will handle this suggestion / requirement ?
will they join in aligning themselves with "babylon the great" in compensation .?.
didn`t they align themselves with another religion in the u.s.a. some years ago , that had to do with the w.t.

More bad news for the Organisation in Australia
by no-zombie init appears the the commonwealth government is bringing in a national compensation scheme for victims of institutional child sexual abuse with individuals able to claim up to $150,000 each.
it's clear that the australian government will not be able to fund this program without serious money from the offending churches.
so it's bad news for the organization today.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-04/government-announces-redress-for-abuse-victims/7996092.

"The days of the Catholic Church investigating itself are over ,and this should be the same for all institutions."
A response from the Roman Catholic Church , agreeing with the Governments decision .
I wonder what the Jehovahs Witness response will be.( we know they hate parting with money )

Also she`s a Superhero judging by the speed she used to get behind the guy as the photo was being taken
Then again she might be an Angel , do Angels wear glasses ? Fallen Angels ?

1000 Years is Like 1 Day?
by Sorry inanyone else hear about this.
as all j-dubs know, whenever someone complains about how long the "new system" is taking too arrive, they use the excuse that jehovah works on his own time.
quite a few times during the public talks, i've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to jehovah" (my parents never stop talking about this).

The findings and final recomendations of the ARC to the Government is not due to about the middle of 2017 or even later.
It is then up to the Government whether they implement those findings on the institutions in question.
The Government is not obligated to enforce all or any of the recomendations from the ARC , although this is very unlikely.
It is not a slam dunk decision against the WT Organization ,cynical as I am ,I`ll wait watch and see.
The WTB&TS have been pulling the wool over secular Govts. eyes for over a hundred years , their masters at it..

Jehovahs witnesses /Governing Body members are masters at deflecting questions and not answering direccty questions put to them , rather they will try to put the questionare off gaurd and go off on another tangent .
However if they are subjected to anybody as professional as Angus Stewart they will meet their match , I can only hope so.

Wow thanks for posting that gerry.The fact that Jehovahs Witnesses are included in that short version , should speak volumes .
Short version , as contrasted with the many institutions that were examined by the commission.
I hold my breath ,that justice will prevail.
