Hi cnn77;
I understand your concerns however one would need to give credence to the WT as a legitimate authority in order to consider reinstatement. The question I ask is reinstatement to what? They have no authority in any country in the civilized world. Only what blind followers and power hungry leaders who belong to their organization will allow or dish out. When an instance of molestation is reported to elders in a congregation many or most kept it quiet for fear of "reproach on Jehovah's organization" because of WT persuasion.
As far as pedophiles go, they should all be dealt with as severe a penalty as the law allows. In some areas even death is a sentence one can receive. As far as rehabilitation of a sex offender such as a pedophile, from what I've read, it's nearly impossible. The WT will make grandiose claims it can transform people, or the bible can transform over a sinner into a righteous person. All with no formal education or training in any known sanctioned course to do so. The WT is a pitiful organization, in my opinion, it accomplishes little good when compared to the number of Witnesses with the rest of the world population.
