I like they brought attention to the term/label "worldly"
The church’s deep suspicion of outsiders, who are referred to, derogatorily, as “worldly,” is the reason sex abuse among Jehovah’s Witnesses is rarely reported to authorities,

Okay, thanks Memphis, lol. I'm quite the fool, I guess..
In my defence, it was 1am in UK, and I was simultaneously sending a massive email explaining the dangers and worldwide child abuse policies of JW's to the Independent Inquiry for Child abuse in England and Wales. Sent them every news link in UK relating to it, and the confidential items released by the ARC. Tried to tell them its the same worldwide. See what reply I get..
Here's the contact details for Warwick city councils.
Please let us know if you contact any of them, I've had enough for now and wouldn't know what to do:

The church.. has emerged as the least able or willing to deal with sexual abuse within its ranks, said Anne Cossins, an associate law professor at the University of New South Wales and an expert in sex crimes who is a consultant for the inquiry.
Least able or willing..
I wonder if the same could apply in the UK?

All the big wigs will care if they start losing case after case. They won't like that one little bit. I was just looking at some cases I knew nothing about, but they are being resurrected in the light of a little glimmer of light that came out of Australia recently. I don't think this will die down.
The GB will have to face up eventually. Or they may feel compelled to sacrifice those thirty odd helpers to Baal.....
