Person who DA accepted and lived by the rules of the church and one of the rules is what you refer to as "shunning" and now all of a sudden when such person decides not to be a member of the church feels that church laws do not apply. It does; based on wt interpretation of the Bible.

Richard, OC was asking a moral question. Wt does not get to decide if child porn is child abuse in any instance or jurisdiction. When they are compelled to report, that is what they are required to do.

RO: It's okay...just viewing images of naked children is not child abuse. Don't worry about that. Jehovah's directions say that it is okay - just looking isn't child abuse.
Orphan Crow, why are you misrepresenting what RO posted on this thread?

A sexual image of a child is ‘abuse’ or ‘exploitation’
Who can argue with that! (Actually evidence of abuse.)
should never be described as ‘pornography’.
Why then does US code 18 use the term?

The WT has stated that viewing child pornography is not considered child abuse.
And whether or not that is true, it may be criminal conduct governed by mandatory reporting compelling wt to report.
How wt handles immorality is church business unless Australian law regulates wt policy.

In the US, in one jurisdiction for example, the way the law is written, child porn is child abuse, and the way the law is written, child means 17 years of age and under.
OC question is very clear, she refers to a minor under the age of puberty, as I understood her question, and who could argue with her is what RO was pointing out. What is misleading about OC's argument is that she only narrows it down in her question but that is not the way laws are always written; wt has a legal duty to comply with mandatory reporting in whatever the law requires and when required wt must report child porn. That is all that matters. According to wt morality, having any immoral thoughts is wrong, let alone wachting any porn, and any person having pedophile feelings -who wants that person around, I would not; wt on the other hand has both a legal duty and a spiritual duty towards the person and everybody else in the wt community. It is a complicated issue for wt.
any economy people here who can explain how this will affect us economy?.
I understand that it results in higher interest rates, but how about property value, etc.
