    Teen sisters? I thought this started when they were 11 and 12

    Osorto abused the girls for four years beginning in 2000. The girls were 11 and 12 at the time.
    A Jehovah's Witnesses elder was sentenced to at least 25 years in prison for raping two sisters in his Siler City congregation.

    I thought it said "teen" on the news commercial, but I could have been wrong. It may have said that the girls were now teens, I don't know.

    What I found interesting was that they made a point of saying "Jehovah's Witness elder", not a church elder or church leader, but "Jehovah's Witness elder".

    I know that some of the friends will cry discrimination or something similar because most other preachers or priests don't get mentioned by denomination in the headlines, only in the bulk of the story. My retort to that would be that Jehovah's Witnesses don't consider themselves as part of mainstream religion so how else would you want them to address it? "A cult religious leader sentanced to 25 years for rape"?

    So, I live in Raleigh, about 30 minutes from Siler City.

    And Kim, I got your pm, but I don't know anyone from the congregation.

    What's funny is, I haven't heard not one peep from any of the dubs I know about this...

    And this is the spanish congregation, and let me tell you, english dubs treat the spanish ones like crap!!
