  anyone know who this monty baker is?

  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  Mad Sweeney: I wonder whether the "Literature" she was asked to review included the Branch manual that says it is ok to make a pedophile an elder.

  I'm thinking: NO, not that literature!

  Applewhite just testified that she was specifically hired by the "Jehovah's Witnesses" to "review their literature" in reference to issues of the sexual abuse of children.
  

  The men examining her asked if she had ever been critical of the WTBTS. She answered, "No."

  What a surprise!

  "If there's not a safe way for a child to come forward, then that institution has failed." - The older silver haired gentleman conducting the inquiry, don't know his name.

  Dr. Applewhite agreed.

  Dr. Applewhite: "The question is, 'How is the child going to be safe?' is the question that has to be answered."
  

  She used the example of a school, saying that they must report suspicions of abuse to the appropriate authorities (child welfare/protective services) and rely on the authorities to take action.

  Obviously the WTBTS does NOT do this.

  Now it's getting interesting. They are asking her about creating an environment where victims feel SAFE and COMFORTABLE coming forward.

  Dr. Applewhite agreed that this is important, a "child-centered" and/or a victim/survivor environment.

  Still not much directly about the WTBTS.

  I've been listening for about 1/2 an hour. Dr. Applewhite has spent a lot of time discussing her involvement in education and prevention of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
  

  Not too much about her involvement with the WTBTS.

  So if the WTBTS does NOT have a problem with pedophiles, as GB members Anthony Morris and Steven Lett have both publicly asserted in recent months, then why have they hired Monica Applewhite, PhD, one of the world's foremost experts on screening, monitoring and policy development for the prevention of sexual abuse and risk management for organizations with histories of sexual offenders?

  Branch Service Department Manual approves appointing Child molestors as Elders

  QUESTION 7: Should the elders ask a man who is reaching out for congregation privileges
  whether he has ever molested a child?

  24. Answer: No.

  25. Factors to consider: When the branch office approves a recommendation for one to be a
  ministerial servant or an elder, we ask two elders to speak with the man before his appointment is
  announced. They will ask if there is anything in his past or in his personal or family life that would
  prevent him from being qualified to accept the appointment or if there is any other reason why his
  appointment should not be announced. If he has never previously served as an elder or a ministerial
  servant, the elders should specifically ask him if he has ever been involved in the past with child
  sexual molestation.

  In other words: No, but actually yes.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Barbara, thanks for sharing this article. It is really well written. It's nice to have a better personal profile for the people involved in a case which was very much in the news over the last couple of years.
