taking a walk down memory lane at those looooonnnnngg, tedious conventions... .
(boy, they weren’t kidding when they spoke about being long-suffering and having endurance!).
but what were some of your convention highlights, or lowlights, from back in the day?.
Remember how there was always someone sitting nearby and you couldn't help but notice that almost their entire Bible was highlighted in yellow?
I remember that! I also saw different ones in the KH and at assemblies highlighting verses as scriptures were read so I figured, when I saw pages and pages of the Bible highlighted that that person had read those verses or studied them.
without there permission ?.
When you joined the club, you also subscribed to all of the club's rules.
what do you think there hiding?.
Because it might contain names including prominent JW leaders.
If that was actually the case, do you really think that such a person would be put in or included in such a list? There's is no mandate to put anybody on that list, only according to church workings.

but little rings attached to a tab that would be completely pulled back & removed?
Wow!! Thank for the memory!
what do you think there hiding?.
holding onto that kind of information sure gives somebody a lot of control.
Dies not hinge on a written record. Knowledge is enough.

And if wt wanted to protect a perpetrator, why record the incident?

In the prison system if you are in jail for pedophile they call you Short Eyes....& they deal with you...& it's not pretty, they just may kill you....even a murderer looks down on a pedo's...what's that saying about us ?
It is very easy for law enforcement, prosecutors, child welfare agencies to put anyone in jail or to kill them, or to destroy a person's good name, too bad if the person just happens to be innocent, the gov enjoys immunity.
what do you think there hiding?.
think the list should be turned over to an independent investigative body to be evaluated for possible criminal proceedings against known pedophiles in the database.
In the US, doing that could violate the constitution and Federal law.
what do you think there hiding?.
It's what they do once the abuse is reported which is the problem. In many locations, even allegations of abuse are to be reported to authorities.
Conflicting laws don't make it any easier. And if anyone actually cared about children, they could lobby the government and at least attempt to get laws changed.

That aside, how do you suggest family incest should be handled? Who is responsible there? And, according to the WT itself, most of the sex abuse inside the JWs occurs within the family cirCle.
Very sad for the kids. Government is very aware of this problem in society and does nothing significant about it, and should it, the number of kids is so many that gov is not equipped to somehow help the kids. The church should comply with the statute and it would be very easy to do if the church did not have to call a lawyer to figure out what is required in the specific place where the church is located.
