Thanks for the link, betweenworlds!!
I'll bet this does pass here in Minnesota. Heidi Meyer (who has posted here previously) is one of the two former JW's who is pushing for the rights of children to be heard and have justice in sexual abuse cases.
The Minnesota Religious Council sounds like they're running scared. The proposed law benefits children and those who recall their abuse as children, while the Council wants the status quo. If the churches are "doing a better job" protecting children these days as they claim, then pretty soon the number of cases against the churches would eventually drop anyhow, and everyone would come out the winner.
Of course, we KNOW the Watchtower Society is going to fight this tooth-and-nail, both in terms of proposed laws and in lawsuits. Thanks to courageous advocates like Heidi and Bill Bowen, the WT Society will be exposed without any compromises or settlements! Your money is WORTHLESS in this fight, Watchtower! You're going to be shown to be self-serving and deliberately harmful to children.
