They feel that they are your judge and jury. So illegal things get swept under the rug instead of calling the cops. The worst a pedophile ever got, in that religion, was just not talked to anymore. Shame on them! The scripture about not taking your brother to court and that they don't want "Jehovah's name to look bad over a few bad people" is their reasoning for keeping this hidden.
On a lighter note- Saying that holidays are pagan! Who cares if it's pagan, so is going camping, and wearing a wedding band, and white for your wedding, and spring cleaning. Oh and I almost forgot- almost all the stories in the bible first started as pagan stories that the jews and christians just revised to fit their own version of the story. ( Noah and the flood) (a Virgin giving birth to a baby god) it goes on and on.
Boy am I glad to be away from that mess! Their like the pharisses burdening people with all of their rules.
ps.sorry for rambling or any misspellings, just in a talkative mood and it's late.
