In the instances where the perp was a non-JW, how is it that the matter got to be on the JW Records in Oz ? [This is a sincere question - I am not seeking to trick you or be rude] ?
And therefore why did the JW Org not advise the victims to contact the authorities ?
Why - when they had the opportunity to do so did the JW Reps at the ARC not bring the stats you have put forward before the aRC?

Sisters as Ministerial Servants?
by Spoletta inmy wife has been trying to convince me that the organization is hinting at the possibility of making some older sisters ministerial servants.
she is awake to a lot of the false doctrines, but is still clinging to the hope that the org may become more progressive in the future.
anyone else pick up on this?

You did not overcook it at all - Good logic - But CD [Cognitive Dissonance] is a powerful psychological device in the human psyche ! Just let it be for now - And KEEP showing Her love ....
Don't forget .....she is just a victim too !

Not sure if I have got your point here - But I am interested in what you have raised.
Just a question.....If you intend to embrace theses previously "missed things" like Xmas/ Birthdays/ Halloween/ Valentines etc etc are you not simply taking up in the boxes of the originators and inventors of these above things all over again? They too are / were in boxes of belief systems - So like the little Russian Matryoshka Dolls you are still inside one of them who is still in another etc etc etc.?

Dr Monica Applewhite's evidence rejected by Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission

[quote] dr applewhite acknowledged that her report did not identify the basis on which she had formed her opinions.657 she accepted that her report failed to identify the ‘current standards’ of other religious organisations658 or which ‘religious organisations’ she referred to in writing her report.659 dr applewhite told the royal commission that her understanding of material provided to parents and families about sexual development in children by other faith-based organisations was ‘anecdotal’.660.
dr applewhite accepted that it would be difficult for the royal commission to accept the opinions expressed in paragraphs 36, 45, and 46 of her report because her report did not identify the basis on which those opinions were formed.661.
we do not consider that dr applewhite’s report and the opinions expressed therein assist the royal commission in its inquiry for the following reasons:.
