My brother is one the most prolific child abusers in this organization. He was DF"d at least four times before he was 35 but we were never told why and he lived in another state, raised by an elder Uncle and his wife. He was reinstated and went back up to elder every time as he is smart and slick as a whip.
THEY KNEW WHAT HE WAS HOWEVER! Long story short he confessed to me as he was about to commit suicide with one victim and I went into action and fought my whole family. He was DF'd by a special committee but was back in 3 years and in the Spanish congregations.
One elder warned them (Spanish cong) but they didn't listen and the society threatened to remove the elder, doing the warning. This is a long story so I won't go into it but he reaffended and we found out he had been doing this since the 1960's. I hunt him down like a hound dog. He is still a witness in good standing and has slipped under the radar in Arizona working again as a school bus driver we hear. All the previous DF including one where they said he would be out for 20 years or more was for pedophilia and no one told the over 200 JW in his family.
I say this to show I have proof they will know and protect an offender. I was called on the morning of his judicial committee to see how he was getting away with this with elders listening in. He confessed to me that over 20 elders were in a sex ring with pioneers and wife swapping and that if they told on him he would tell on them. Some of you may remember the Cleveland Ohio scandal in the late 1980"s .
I went to the police and they said the victims had to report since all had turned 18 or even one was 24. They were pioneers and brainwashed. Thus my reason for going to school to be a psycho-therapist to learn what messes up a child's mind to do this. He was raised a witness from infancy like all of us.
They know it is true but uses the two witness thing as a shield. I will hunt my brother down no matter where he settles.
