the pastor in charge of this church has not allowed me to take picture of some older jw living barcelona downtown, but i was able to catch these young publishers.

@Blondie Thanks for the reply. I agree with you as there is nothing prohibiting JW to get food other religions.
The fact I want to speak out here is the point that these JW need to find the support in other believers, not their own brothers and sisters...

@darkspilver We know my reliable sources about the enforcement of this policy as well in Spain. It will be the standard in Europe.

I can confirm that the queue was long. The pastor in charge of this church has not allowed me to take picture of some older JW living Barcelona downtown, but I was able to catch these young publishers. They are regularly collecting food in other religious denominations, such as Mormons. I heard that even some Mormons and Protestant churches are visiting some older JW in need at their home.
Why JW do not have a specific help for JW in need? Is Jehovah so much proud about his money?

I feel this new provision will not solve the current situation regarding "sexual abuses"... specially for minors, children or vulnerable ones. Just the opposite, it will make it worse...
In Spain as in many countries within EU, all persons knowing any info regarding abuses MUST report to the police. Not only anyone present as a witness of these abuses, but as well anyone knowing details about them (aka... Elders in a Judicial Committee).
If the victim decides not to report to the authorities and the Judicial Committee decides not to disfellowship the abuser, another possible abuser will remain within the Congregation.
Last but not least, "Do not destroy" envelope with the details of the abuses seems to remain. Again, it seems that the registry of abusers within the Congregation (maybe some reported to the authorities, and other not reported) will not be stopped...
