As far as I can tell, the average JW knows next to nothing about the pedophile scandal. My daughter encountered some JW's at her front door fairly recently, and they clearly were totally in the dark about it. They told my daughter that when such things happened, the guilty party would be disfellowshipped, but nothing about the "two-witness rule."
My sister had an experience lately that shows the JW's are cracking down on people (relatives!) being alone together without a spouse present. I told her it was the way the WT was doing damage control after the pedophile scandal. My sister, who does not look at the big picture, just took personal offense instead of considering the real cause for her sister-in-law's refusal to allow her husband's blood niece to be alone with her husband in the house. It was of no concern to the JW SIL that the girl's parents trusted the girl's father's brother and the parents had no problem with the girl spending time alone with her uncle.
What a crazy bunch!
