  Esse quam videri

  King James Bible
  Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.

  And what a stink! and more than a little folly!

  elders being grilled they have power literally life over death in congregation and with that power comes responsibility. Commission is highlighting that they have not used that power to protect children and have actually put them in harms way time and time again. WT has not educated or trained these men in even the fundamentals about their legal responsibilities or safe practice. Love to those abused is conditional upon being complaisant in silence with 2 witness rule. Elders especially allergic to sisters who agitate for justice....often labelled mentally unstable, troublemakers.

  Took a long time to realize that love from family and congreation that is conditional on protecting the abuser (2 wit rule) of your child is no love at all.If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 1cor 13.1
  Or as you say a loathsome religion that actively protects pedophiles and turns its back on children

  The witnesses think that no part of the world means no accountability. Many persons in community are mandatory reporters of child abuse eg, nurses, teachers (regardless color or creed) as a normal and responsible way to protect children in a community. In Australia would be interesting to know the exact figures of witness who collect disability( lots of very damaged people in that org), pay no taxes, don't vote, don't donate blood (yet take fractions) and yet demand the right to conduct their own kangaroo courts!

  They may eventually have to pay up will be like getting blood from a stone. They stupidly pride themselves on being extremely litigious even it it means making victims have to face public hearing like this to get their stories heard and validated disgusting !!!!

  Its very plain that they take Adultery more seriously than child abuse because its public and keeping that WT facade of "a clean organisation" is paramount. child abuse can and is actively hidden "in house" no matter the cost to victims and potential victims.

  The sister that BCH left his marriage for had two daughters was she warned of these allegations ? Bet she wasn't.
