    Highest percentage of sexual perverts are church goers.
    A report in the Daily epress in Great Britian today states,

    "Up to three quarters of sex offenders are regular members of church congregations and religious groups, the Victoria Climbie* inquiry was told yesturday.
    Church leaders fear the figures have been inflated by peadophiles using congregations as a hunting ground for children.
    They warned the hearing into the eight year olds murder that children who attend places of worship need greater protection.
    David Pearson, director of the church Child protection advisory service, accused some churches of offering "lax and irresponsible" care for vulnerable youngsters.
    Churches therefore should be at the forefront of child protection and many have highly developed child protection policeies"

    *Victoria Climbie was a girl tortured and murdered by her guardians who were said to be deeply religious.

    If this report is accurate then it seems perverts are using churches as hunting grounds.
    The society should be taking the lead in providing child protection if in deed it is the true religion.
    Instead can it be described as one of those that is "lax and irresponsible"?

    Putting this up again as I though it was very important.
    I had belived that peadophiles were no bigger an issue in the Witness organisation than anywhere else.
    But it seems that churches are a special target for sexual preditors.
    This means that people join religions with the purpose of abusing children.Apparently peadophiles are very cunning and manipulative.
    I have heard on the news before how they seek out jobs that involve looking after children and will play along for years in their chosen role , not raising any suspicion.
    But for three quarters to belong to churchs seams like a very high figure bigger than those who may be working in child care or other places with children.
    Would peadophiles have knowledge that the witnesses are paricularly lax when it comes to protecting children?
    Could this make kingdom hall a bigger target for them?
