Hi All,
For those who are interested,there is an article in the NY Times about the Catholic Church in Mass. Seems they are bowing to public pressure in supporting legislation on the mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse in that state.
It made me think how far the WTS has yet to on catching up with public thinking on child abuse reporting.

Thanks for the link. It is interesting to see that the Catholic Church at least sent the priest to be checked out medically before transferring him. I mean the WTS doesn't even encourage THAT much with the pedophiles in their organization.
Pedophilia knows no socio-economic or religious boundaries. These types of laws are what is needed to identify pedophiles and get them treated and to protect the children. The WTS - as is typical of them - feel that they are above the law and that their policies are better than the legal policies. This ignorance is what got them into this mess to begin with!
Hi blue!
Well said!! and your welcome! Looking forward to more of your posts! regards,Tina
