Do they ever say "We abhor pedophilia"?
If so, the overlords probably do not view pedophilia as child abuse.
Paedophilia is a medical term as defined by the DSM. Child abuse is a legal term as defined by statute.
I am wondering if this was directly related to the ARC?
If it was - hoping we see action taken with JWs.

Catholic Church child is "abhorrent"
Obviously "abhor" is code for tolerate in religious organizations.
Yes, his hypocrisy is disgusting. If it were me I would eagerly confess to my crimes against children, but without the slightest hint of remorse in my voice. I'd tell them, frankly, that there is nothing in the Bible that condemns pedophilia and, in fact, the church has been practicing it for nearly all 2000 years of its history. I would insist that, as a member of the clergy, I am immune to both civil and criminal prosecution per the concordat held between many nations and the church; furthermore, as a citizen of the Vatican, I cannot be extradited on these charges since the Vatican has no extradition treaty with Australia. I would then conclude by telling the Aussies to go fuck a wallaby.
The UN has accused the Vatican of "systematically" adopting policiesallowing priests to sexually abuse thousands of children.
