If the Jonie the JW Stripper song didn't get any JW backlash, I doubt that this will. They'll probably just roll their eyes and make a mental note along the lines of : "See! The World really does hate us!"

Visiting old churches
by moley inwhen i was a jw i did and still enjoy visiting old churches and cathedrals because of the history and amazing architecture of these wonderful old buildings.
a sister in my old congregation regaled us with a story of a visit to the tower of london and walking up this crowded narrow staircase only to discover it led to an old chapel.
the way she described her horror at almost entering you would have thought they were doing human sacrifices.

So Let's Say Bigger Change Happens
by peacefulpete inif a change in the blood policy happens, who will be more upset, jws or former jws?
i suspect the latter.
when the beard thing went down, jw's seem to immediately embrace it, whereas many former jw's have been brooding about it.. did it take away a pet gripe we had?.

People who leave often experience the stages of grief. I try never to judge the grieving process in others. Let them grieve in their own way, at their own pace, is my (ideal) approach.

How they could change blood doctrine
by Person inmany people say gb will soon dump blood doctrine to appear less fanatical.
others saying it is impossible for them to do that because of legal ramifications.

nowwhat?:
"If the blood policy was a sandwich.
"You may eat bacon
"You may eat lettuce
"Tomatoes are ok
But a BLT is absolutely forbidden!!!"
😸😸😸
Unfortunately, it's even worse than that! You can't eat the four major components of a BLT (bread, lettuce, tomato, bacon) separately either. But bacon fractions, tomato fractions, lettuce fractions and bread fractions are all allowed, and in any combination! Enjoy your tomato seeds smothered in bacon fat, WT! 🙄

I reckon that they'll appeal. They have much to lose and keeping out from under another inquiry benefits them*. You can't bet on a court result, generally, so their bet could pay off, should they decide to appeal.
The WT is trying very hard to strain out the gnat of the wording "in care". The royal commission has already decided that the WT is within its ambit. Even if the supreme court sides with the WT, what's to stop Parliament establishing an investigation specifically into CSA as handled by the WT?
I can't imagine the royal commission pussyfooting around, once they have the WT in their clutches. With the precedents from the ARC and Norway, this time around they'll be well informed and know what to look for.
As usual, the WT is playing the "religious freedom" card. Religions are afforded various freedoms by governments, but there is one freedom that they don't have: the freedom to handle and investigate criminal matters and to exclude government police and judicial processes.
*The upper management, of course.

Do they really now have a plane in their own livery? Is it a temporary advertising thing, sort of like you can have vinyl signage on your car? Whence this image?
