It amazes me that the WBT$ is passively aggressivly being anti-gay (no surprises there from a faux fundie cult), but through their actions, allow paedophiles to thrive within their ranks. You woul;d have thought that if they were that anti anything sexual that they'd really stop the paedophile thing. But then I suspect they are protecting the higher ups (GB), within the WBT$ who may be paedophiles themselves.
It's about protection alright, but protection from negative publicity. That's their main fear, so they just want to keep it all under wraps. They also need to be seen to doing the right thing, that's why all such cases get referred to HQ who then can decide what degree of hushing-up can be done without incriminating themselves legally.
