Over the course of about six decades, more than 1,000 members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses were accused of sexually abusing Australian children, according to a new report. Victims were ordered to keep quiet. Not one of the alleged perpetrators were reported to the police.
Now, a royal commission in Australia has found the church demonstrated a “serious failure” to protect children from the risk of sexual abuse and relied on outdated policies and practices to respond to such allegations.
A 107-page-long report released Monday detailed a number of ancient policies that exhibited what the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse referred to as a “serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse.”
One such practice, derived from scripture, requires church elders investigating incidents to secure a confession from the person accused or the testimony of two “credible” witnesses to the same incident, two witnesses to separate incidents of the same kind, or strong circumstantial evidence testified to by at least two witnesses. The accuser also has to justify his or her allegations to church elders, often in front of the alleged perpetrator.
The commission’s findings were based on a close examination of the allegations — which averaged one a month for 65 years and were recorded in sealed files along with the church’s responses — along with the findings of a 2015 public hearing.
The report found that the Jehovah’s Witness organization’s internal system for responding to complaints of child sexual abuse was not child or survivor focused, “in that it is presided over by males and offers a survivor little or no choice about how their complaint is addressed.” READ MORE

"Scientologists demand A&E Network pull former disciple Leah Remini’s exposé from air"
"Leah’s lawyer is demanding the $1.5 million as “compensation for the past, present and ongoing reputational, emotional and economic injuries and damages (Leah has) suffered."
"A spokesman for the church responded to Leah’s lawyer — calling the demand for compensation “nothing more than a provocative ploy to generate publicity for what will no doubt be another failed program by a failed ‘celebrity’ seeking to make a buck off of her former religion.”
“The Church will freely exercise its constitutional rights,” the spokesman added."

jehovah's witnesses use of 2,000-year-old protocols when dealing with abuse complaints has been condemned in a report by the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. last year, the commission examined the experiences of two abuse survivors within the jehovah's witness organisation.. it also looked at evidence from case files that recorded reports or complaints of abuse by just over 1,000 jehovah's witnesses.

"Leah Remini’s anti-Scientology documentary on A&E is scorching. It airs Tuesday night the 29th at 10pm. Remini explains her trajectory as a teen member of the cult, what happened to her family, how she left and wrote her book which was published earlier this year.
"But wait– Remini started getting so many messages from trapped and ex members of the cult that she decided to start filming them. And the result is pretty damn scary. In the first episode she gets former celebrity wrangler Amy Scobee on tape and the interview is a wowzer. Scobee admits that she was in charge of making sure Tom Cruise was completely isolated in the cult. All of the people who worked in Cruise’s house were Scientologists and he was constantly under surveillance."
BTW, the documentary aired on A&E today and one XJW told me, "Different penalties, but same strategy as all cults including Watchtower"

Thanks DATA-DOG. I really appreciate the post you made.
I've been on this board since its inception and have learned that it's impossible to please everyone. But I try to learn from mistakes I've made and to take uncalled for criticism with a grain of salt, but I'm no martyr, that's for sure.
FYI, DS, copyright problems can ensue if too much information is taken from an original article and posted without permission. I have learned over the years from media reps that it's so much better if part of the article is posted with a link and readers then go to the news organization responsible for the information so they, the media organization, finds out how many people read the article. If there's lots of interest in the subject, more articles will follow and that's what we want. The more attention given to the wrongs committed by JWs and their leaders, the better.

In memorandum, today, October 31, 2016, is the 100th anniversary of Charles Taze Russell's death.
The WARREN EVENING TIMES in Warren, Pennsylvania, stated on Wednesday, November 1, 1916 that
"Pastor Russell is one of the best known personages in America today. He has appeared on platforms, stage and pulpits in every section of the country, and there are few people actively engaged in religious work who have not heard him at one time or another."
