"The spokesman said: "Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse, and view it as a heinous crime and sin. The safety of our children is of the utmost importance.
"Any suggestion that Jehovah’s Witnesses cover up child abuse is absolutely false. We are committed to doing all we can to prevent child abuse and to provide spiritual comfort to any who have suffered from this terrible sin and crime."
They say this every time, with every instance of abuse that they are caught out about-denying that they cover it up. Lots of smoke, there is fire. I am sick of their canned and insincere response. It is absolutely meaningless and even I have memorized it. They need to come up with a more convincing response, like an abject apology and a new resolve to help children and other victims properly.
