Do you know which of the 6 million JWs worldwide are among the 23,720 child molesters on record at WTS headquarters? Brooklyn knows. The bodies of elders know
And we think the number 23,720 is accurate? Why? Or do we just take unsubstantiated numbers as doctrine - just like we believed whatever we were told.
The number could be 2,370 or 237,200....or 23.720...or some other number - how do you know what it is? Anyone ever wonderd why it is a specifc number but a round one (a low probability combination)?
I agree the proven and the accused pedophiles should be turned over to the cops...I just question unsubstantiated claims that make references to specifics.

Lady Lee : They shun the victims and let the perps roam free
Absolutely correct.
Elders are not competent to handle such matters (most elders are just plain not competent)
Sadly the majority do have to share what the Watch Tower describes as COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY - as with the explanation of how the majority in China have no witness given but suffer destruction at Armageddon because of Community Responsibility. etc etc
The JW community never applies such matters to itself but the members should - they must have collective responsibility for the actions of elders / judicial committees / the Governing Body
Knowing about incidents of paedophile activity is not that widespread among JWS BUT they shoulder as a group the responsibility for what is allowed in their name to happen and that is a responsibility thay tarnishes each and every one of them - no they are not all paedophiles but they ARE ALL responsible for allowing the present situation.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but what the hell is the above? I'd like to think you're joking, but I suspect you are not. The WTS has decided that all the Chinese will die....WHY? I don't get it.

Community Responsibility
Yes WT teaching is that if no witness is possible due to the state preventing it etc then the community is responsible for the state hence responsible for their own actions and so reprehensible. It is ridiculous as the average citizen has zilch chance against a dictator / the apparatus of the state etc yet this is how WT views the matter
So in WT speak if you are a chinese citizen who has no 'preaching' of the kingdom available then it is your own fault if you are shuttled off the earth at the Great Tribulation - you are held to be jointly responsible for the states actions.

Realize that Jehovah's Witnesses believe that a little girl picking flowers in China is more hated by Jehovah, and therefore worthy of being killed, than a ministerial servant who brutally rapes small children.

No, but ALL JWs, each and every one, belongs to an organization that shields paedophiles from legal action to the extent possible.
