trutherseekeriam: That angers me so much. Unqualified MEN spent 2 hours asking your child for the details of their abuse?!? THAT is a reproach on Jehovah's name! And the VICTIM feels guilty?!? Thanks, shepherds of the flock!!!
Lady Lee- who are you, and what's YOUR story?

Brotherdan..
You have no idea, we sat like a couple of zombies letting it happen!! That's the one thing I will always have guilt over. I should have never allowed it, I just didn't know

I am so sorry that yur child and you had to go through that. But remember you were taught that the way the WTS handled things was the best way. I'm sure you kept thinking this will get better the whole time it was happening.
Let's see
untrained men who have no idea what they are doing - interviewing a child abuse a most intimate violation
well-trained professionals who know how to minimize the truama the child has already experienced and knows how to ask questions that don't put words in the child's mouth and minimize the trauma of the interview
Elders who don't know what they are doing wind up creating what is called "secondary trauma". They are meddling where they don't belong and wind up making things worse for everyone exceot the abuser, but especially the victim

Why ask the same thing over and over? "Two or Three Witnesses" is the standard God gave.
Call the police for every accusation is yours?
My opinion; the one molested should- and if it's a kid claiming someone in their household did, give them shelter., protections and YES call the police.
If it's an adult, the circumstances would determine what to do. Police would be the LAST resort, until certain it REALLY happend; emotions going wild rarely helps ANYTHING- just makes worse.
However, I have never been an elder- now I have NO desire to ever BE one, so it's MOOT. AND a relief! What a Horrible problem to have to deal with!
Has there been some corruption, or mishandling? Of COURSE! Pretenders are everywhere.
Do we as a people and as an organization protect molesters? NEVER. ( To the very best of my knowledge )
Do I trust your opinions? no.
However, I am NOT any kind of authority on this matter.
