    is that 7 million baptised witnesses? does that count the ones who have faded away and don't go to the kingdom hall any more but have not formally disassociated themselves? Does that include children who are not baptised?

    Will someone please talk to me?

    Yes that is drastic, but you couldn't be convicted of paedophilia by taking pictures at the beach or hugging a child. I'm not talking about 8 million witnesses, but the elders and even people who are higher up at bethel knowing someone is a paedophile because they have confessed, and nothing...

    I explained how it can be especially hurtful for JW children not just them catholic children too who are taught that their priest represents Jesus and then when they are abused by them it is even more devastating because that priest was meant to be like Christ. I know that JW children can...

    Most of the time false accusations by a child do not occur. But yeah I'm not saying hunt the person down with pitch forks, I'm saying report it to the proper authorities who know how to deal with it, when you are knee deep and unqualified to handle a case you don't turn away a child, and keep it...

    And look at the whole situation, not just the abuse but everything about being a JW we can see how devastating it is for the children. A JW child who can not have friends outside the congregation. The only people they know are in the organisation. They are told to go to the elders with any...

    I do not think parents just go around calling the police on men who have contact with their children. There have been cases where it is the child who has also report the abuse to the elders and the parents were discouraged from calling the police, talking about how rubbish "the world" is. The...

    The problem with that though, is that victims from Australia, UK and the US and other places have come out saying the same things.

    Why did an elder voluntarily leave the organisation after like 10, 15 years of being an elder and start silent lambs? Ask yourselves the question.

    They encourage the parents, really? They can report it themselves also

    Will someone please talk to me?

    Not a report but to take it to court yes, the elders can report it, just like a teacher can call social services on you, even though they aren't the parent. If you actually listen to the victims and how their accusation was handled you can see how wrong the elders have been. But I'm sure they...

    Will someone please talk to me?

    So you're telling me they can't report it to the police and then leave it to the parents and child to decide if they want to take it further.

    Will someone please talk to me?

    How do elders thoroughly investigate? Well let's ask the victims, they put them in the same room with their attacker and ask them questions in front of the accused. If the person doesn't confess they are free to roam around attacking other children. I they do confess they are disfellowshipped...

    And what will God do? The wages of sin is death remember? Once that person dies he has paid for his sins and God isn't doing anything.

    Will someone please talk to me?

    When a girl at my school was being raped by her dad and she told a head teacher, the police was called and came down to the school in fact. You are right the elders are not the police and shouldn't be doing their own investigations, I will repeat! If a child goes to an elder with an accusation...
