My child was molested after this policy change...
We were still made to feel as we did something wrong by calling the autorities before the elders. Not verbally, but how we were treated.
We heard the phrase "reproach on Jehovah's name" over and over agian along with "this is bad". We really felt almost guilty after the elders left our home.. well, really confused.. My child was questioned horriably for almost 2 hours and not one of those elders told us we could have just given them the story Dont they relize the damage they can do?? Do they care?
It was a night I will never forget. They actually told us the molester had the just as much right as his victim to me in the KH?? How was that protecting the victim from further abuse as the NEW policy states? Of course we didn't allow her in the same room with the creep ever again until she had to face him in court.
No Love..
No support..
No compassion..
So unlike Christ Jesus.
I pray for those going through it right now, because I know they're out there.
