How Do You Feel It Should Be Handled? (page 3)

These are good questions. Why not turn all the cases over to the proper secular authorities. The congregation should make it known to all about the convicted pedophile when the laws say he is a sex offender. He should have no privileges from the time he is accused to being one. I don't believe in D'Fing but who is going to hang with a sex offender? The elders and the congregation should be responsible for the medical treatment and psych bills for the victim. They have enough money to send to the Society , they can start taking care of their children.

Tina:

The only "opinion" I expressed was that The Borg needs to improve its policy/prodecures re pedofiles. If you think they don't need to improve, then that's fine.

If you are stupid enough to think that anyone here has any ability whatsover to change the US Constitution or centuries-old English Common Law, then, as you have aptly demostrated, you are totally CLUELESS!!!

From the 1997 Watchtower quotation above, significant material that was not put in bold text. Not a criticism, just wanted its import not to be lost. This is about someone who may even have served a prison sentence for his crime:

SEEMS to be repentant ... he can go in field service! From door to door?

Make anyone go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Isn't this the point Silentlambs has been making over and over?

COULD a pedophile be at your door? Under Society blessing?

Great topic Kismet!
I feel that all cases should be handled over to proper qualified authorities. Honestly, who cares if he/she is repentant or not. The person committed a crime punishable by law! So the law should deal with him/her.

Also I feel an announcement should be made. We are talking about a person who is molesting children, walking around a crowded hall, trapped in a small car during field service with children up to 5 days a week! If we are to protect ourselves, we should be armed.

As far as removing them from the congregation, well I never really agreed with the whole Judicial meeting thing anyway. But as I said above, it is in the best intrest of the parents of the congo to be made aware of the actions.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

MadApostate & Tina:

If this is going to turn into a flame war I would respectfully ask that it be taken up elsewhere.

This thread is very important to me and I don't want to see it veer off.

Thank you for understanding.

Kismet

Thanks again.
