This is such a travesty. In Deuteronomy 18 and elsewhere, judges were required to investigate thoroughly matters that had been brought to their attention and provide justice. In the case of children bringing charges and where no witnesses can be found, the very least they should do, imo, in pray that the truth be exposed instead of throwing up their hands and threatening the injured with gag orders.

I'm confused. Been hit on pretty hard in the last few weeks by somebody about half my age.
Are they desperate or stupid? Or is there something I don't understand?

This is what happens when there's no public accountability.
The self-righteous elders are only accountable to themselves, the loving CO and their wives.
They were canvassing today. Was hoping they'd stop by.
Wanted to tell 'em I was already in a cult that knew how to pronounce God's name.
Called The Way. Then quote Proverbs 30:4 - in their Bible
Darby Translation (DARBY) - "Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?"
(And it's not Jehovah and the guy who cuts your neighbor's grass.)

I read something in a psychology magazine today about a judge's ability to determine their own impartiality. It turns out that the more impartial they think they are they also consider themselves more righteous. I think this "blindness" applies to every jw elder. Once they've been appointed they feel they can do no wrong. There used to be a standing joke at our hall about how the only way an elder could get deleted, as they were such a bunch of brazen hippocrites, was if they were caught conducting immoraity in the hall.

Dear NaturalNews readers,
"As the BP oil catastrophe demonstrates, corporations now threaten life on our planet. Their greed may drown us all in a tidal wave of destruction that could impair our chances for sustainable human life on our planet. Today's feature story delves into this issue in more detail while daring to ask the question: Should We the People rise up against corporations like BP and make a massive citizens' arrest of their executives?"

Dead Sperm Whale Found Near BP Oil Spill
Updated: 5 hours 20 minutes ago(June 17) -- "A dead sperm whale was found floating 77 miles from the Deepwater Horizon spill site in the Gulf of Mexico, and scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are trying to determine whether it was killed by the oil. The sub-adult whale was found Tuesday by the NOAA ship Pisces in oil-free waters but had been dead from several days to as long as a week and may have floated from contaminated parts of the Gulf, NOAA announced today. "NOAA and the Unified Command Wildlife Branch have had numerous reports of sperm whales seen swimming in the oil, but this is the first confirmed report of a dead whale since the BP oil spill began," the agency said. "NOAA remains concerned about sperm whales, which are the only endangered resident cetaceans in the upper Gulf of Mexico. Sperm whales spend most of their time in the upper Gulf offshore area, live at depth in areas where subsurface dispersants and oil are present, and feed on deepwater squid, which may also be impacted by the oil and dispersants."...."
