  i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.

  y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.

  arrrrggghhhhhh!

  Why the WTBTS is liable for Sex Abuse Cases

  by Coded Logic in

  the problem isn't just that kids are getting raped by people in their congregation.

  the problem's also that anytime someone has "serrious charges" brought against them the elders add notes to that jws publisher file.

  and, if the elders don't take the matter to the police or, as is often the case, tell the victims families not to take it to the police either, this establishes a level of accountability.. take daniel fitzwater for example.

  Ignorance=bliss, if there was a case where the parents did not want the crime to be reported, the elders SHOULD override the parents & report it anyway as the welfare of the child should take priority! This is basic common sense, which unfortunately many in the org today do not have
