Mandatory Reporting Laws in Canada - Child Abuse
by OrphanCrow in

the issue of whether or not the elders have a duty to report is clear cut in canada.

this will make it impossible for the wts to wriggle out of the wrongs that have been exposed in quebec recently.

the elders in those situations have received their instructions from the wts lawyers and they have been advised wrongly.. for several years (can't remember when this was made law...years back), it has been mandatory for everyone in canada to report suspected cases of child abuse, which, naturally, include the sexual abuse of minors.

The case for mandatory reporting is not as obvious as I had assumed.
For example the biggest child welfare charity in the UK is undecided about it.
Exploring the case for mandatory reporting:

objective reading of scriptures can see many human thoughts in them.

objective analysis of religions would show that they exist primarily for their own benefit.

is science too travelling in the same direction?

Why are the endless succession of BK apologists we get here so dishonest about their intentions?
Every single one has denied being in the BK until it was forced out of them. I even have PMs admitting as much from one of your local leaders.

Thanks for confirming you are here to recruit for the BK cult. Your response was identical to previous members who were asked the same question.
It is a nasty dehumanising family destroying money grabbing abusive cult.

Perry - You are too easily impressed by the label "scientist".
Just because some engineer or high school physics teacher rejects evolution is irrelevant.
Please link me to the peer-reviewed articles that refute common descent.

Perry if you are going to throw around random accusations about logical fallacies you need to do your homework first.

No logical fallacy at all. But you go on telling yourself that if it saves you from having to deal with facts.
Please tell me again which books that present the scientific evidence for evolution you have read.

No sensible scientist would comment on their commitment to "Darwinism". It is a description used by creationists.
Every living thing evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years. This simple fact is beyond all sensible debate.

2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

The outright dishonesty of saying we respect people's right to be gay, lesbian or smoke cigarettes but God doesn't respect them enough to let them live.
God doesn't respect the right of the nice old hetrosexual couple who live next door to live when armageddon comes.
