Wow, more evidence that child molesters are in the congregations. What percentage of these convicted molesters who are still JWs are allowed to go door-to-door?

Growing numbers of convicted sex offenders are being appointed as charity trustees, bringing them into contact with vulnerable people, the Charity Commission has found.
The watchdog removed or suspended 30 such trustees last year, three times as many as the year before. The people involved included rapists and paedophiles, the commission says in a report out today.
It urged charities to refer potential trustees to the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) for vetting before making any appointments where children might be put at risk.

Organisations that faced a statutory inquiry from the commission over “vulnerable beneficiaries” included the World Children’s Fund, the Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship Trust and the London Mill Hill Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Commission instructed the Mill Hill congregation to introduce a “robust child protection policy” after one of its trustees, Michael Porter, was convicted of indecent assault and gross indecency with 13 children. The offences were committed before Porter was made a trustee. He was removed from the post after his arrest but was allowed to remain a member of the congregation.
