Keeping the law, my eye. They protect pedophiles within their ranks, silencing the victims (unless there are two witnesses, which there never are) on the threat of getting disfellowshipped for "slander". They do this in an attempt to make the organization look cleaner than it actually is. And that is breaking the law.
How many other types of child abuse go on in the Kingdumb Hell itself, and no one says a damn word about it. I wonder how many times a child gets taken outside the auditorium for a beating. A beating is more than a spanking--a spanking is a simple slap on the behind that is meant to hurt, but does not do too much physical damage. Often they get beaten with that wooden spoon, a belt, or some other hard instrument and often more than a light slap or poke. And there are threats of even worse beatings when they get home. And for what? Not sitting still, fussing a bit, having to pee or to get some water, or for some other trivial reason. This is clearly a crime, and it is a crime to not report such abuse. Yet it goes on without any interference.
They also break the law when they walk onto an enclosed porch, particularly one with a sign banning soliciting. If someone walks onto an enclosed porch uninvited, technically that's breaking and entering. I used to remind other Witlesses of this, but they went on the enclosed porch anyway. Two of Jehovah's Burglars.
And there are also breaches in court orders. The Bible does not condemn blood transfusions. Often, with children, they will reach a point where a blood transfusion is blatantly necessary. Whether one is for or against allopathic medicine, allopathic medicine rules supreme when it comes to trauma situations (like when a 6-year-old, newly baptized, runs across the street to get his time started and gets hit by a car). These are the situations in which blood is most often needed, and the person is going to die or suffer extreme and permanent damage without the blood. The court orders the parent to allow the child to take the blood, and the parents refuse. Sometimes they use the specious term "mature minor" to get around this law. Here is a situation when the child blatantly needs something and is refused on the grounds of a cult.
This doesn't even include all the DWIs committed by the hounders, the harassment (whoever got their house egged last Christmas knows a thing or two about that), hounding calls during work, and who knows might be up the pipe once the Kool-Aid Puketowers start coming out. These are not Scriptural (it's blatantly unscriptural to get drunk, and one can get disfellowshipped, but they drink and drive anyway). I don't think the hounders that egged that house on Christmas were acting in harmony with Biblical requirements (I would like to see, in the King James version, a scripture that says "Thou shalt eggeth the houses of those who participateth in Christmas celebrations".
