The issue of child molestation among Jehovah's Witnesses is not going to go away ... no amount of the Watchtower Society trying to ignore it, or watching silly videos about the ancient Jewish men, Korah, Dathan, and Abiraham will change the hard fact that the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society and its associated organizations must and will be forced to change their policies on how they treat minor Jehovah's Witness children. Today, NBC once again contacted me for additional information and details to help them in their understanding and investigation of this serious issue. I know of others being contacted throughout the United States ... many of whom will provide significant information and details that is going to make this issue come out into the light of day more and more ...
It is time ... it is more than time that the Watchower Society and their religious arm, the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses come to terms with this as responsible adults in the collective national and international community and end their denial and cover-ups ... end their public PR statements designed to obfuscate the issue and own up to their seriously flawed child abuse policies.
I cannot say right now what my specific discussion was with NBC or how it will be used, if at all, in any reporting or programming ... the point is to let you know that things are happening, and there are many involved in various ways ... some more so than others ... but all are making important contributions to bring this social and emotional tragedy into the open and let the Silent Lambs roar and speak out.
I will keep you posted if any of this part I am working on goes anywhere. Thanks. - Jim Whitney
