Fishy The gov could also proscribe child abusers from joining any churches. ... In the meantime, legislation is what it is
Now that's a bizarre thing to say. Nobody said or implied child abusers shouldn't join churches.
Aside from the fact that time and again Watchtower has not reported *despite* mandatory reporting; why do they need to be forced to do the right thing.
No one wants them to form JC's, either, without their blasted 2 Witnesses; they can do what the heck they want with their jc's. What we ask, what anyone who Cares for the welfare of kids ask, is that if they get a report of child abuse they refer it to the authorities and let them deal with it. Period.
