From my standpoint the organization is not going to be able to stop abuse they don't know about.
But once they are aware, they are either going to stop it by reporting it or be complicit in allowing it to continue. They have shown in the past, being complicit in allowing it to continue.
Obviously there is a record of the abuse in the ARC findings so the organization knew about the abuse, even familial.

I do not want your sympathy. I want you to understand these acts are being committed against real children, who are forever affected by it. If abuse can be stopped from occurring or from occurring again - it needs to be stopped.
You are missing my point regardless of who is abusing a child - if an organization has information that could stop the abuse or stop it from happening to other members of the household, or to the same child again, they need to treat it as a CRIME, not a sin. Let professional investigate and prosecute.

As someone who was molested by another congregant at the Kingdom Hall, I am not naive to the indifference shown by Jehovah's Witnesses when handling sexual abuse among its members.
I left that long ago and have no desire to interact with persons who are indifferent to the suffering of children.

Do you think a child would prefer to be raped multiple times and when they reached out for help to have the elders side with the abuser? Or do you think they would want the abuse to stop and be given the help needed to recover as best they can?
Your argument is naive and indicative of your cult affiliation.

But in many cases they continued to have access to the victim and other household victims due to the elders inaction.

For people who were abused by family members or others within the congregation, if the elders knew about it and did nothing to involve the authorities, they were complicit in allowing the abuse to continue. Did you even consider that in a family setting if abuse was stopped by putting the offender in jail other children in the household would not be abused? I find it disgusting that you suggest otherwise.
i think everyone here is under the impression that i am a watchtower sympathizer, i am not.
i just like facts and when people say things, which are their opinions but that facts point out as not being true, than that is when i get so motivated to make a comment.
i have read posts here, listened to six screens and read jwsurvey and seen things that people say, which are opinion, but pass them off as fact.. there are legitimate things that people on here and former jws have concerns over without manipulating what is said or trying to pass off opinion as a fact.
Being uneducated about a certain topic does not change the facts. Just because someone doesn't know the JWs are a high control group- doesn't mean they are not.

You are asking a bunch of people who had terrible experiences with the witnesses to validate your supposed " good experience". You can see the trouble with that, right?
i'm not sure whether or not my view on this is correct so please leave your input.
in recent months i've been viewing youtube videos.
again, it might just be my view but there has been an increased amount of random people grabbing a camera and doing vlogs.
In my opinion, sometimes people get stuck in the anger part of leaving and never move on. Again, my opinion is take care of getting yourself right, then worry about helping others. It's a long, painful process to untangle yourself from the cult, and sometimes people don't take the time to care for themselves first.
way back in the 70s around the time when the elders arrangement was new i recall a particular co who tried to replace all the circuit arrangement with young pioneers, in fact he tried to infest all of circuit with youth.
my father in law was removed by this person from his circuit position and that added to the complete disdain even contempt my fil had for him.
my fil was one of a small group that had formed congregation , built the kh with their own funds and where very loyal to the organisation, never commenting or expressing dissent in any form.
I think the point is - the congregation should decide what is done with the hall they attend and presumably have paid for.
How about a vote by the current members of the congregation?
The problem has been the halls were built by the congregation members, and then sold out from under them without so much as a discussion.
