Any bad news that gets established into the perception of the public domain becomes exaggerated. WHY? Because Jehovah's Witnesses go door to door the public would NEVER allow a Catholic priest to proselyte door to door among non Catholics after their big child abuse pedophile scandal.They may not even tolerate Nuns doing it. JW have a LOT at stake on their reputation they cannot shrug this off as 'persecution' nothing noble about child abuse it stinks to high heaven. Quote from Watchtower's latest summer convention PR as of 1 hour ago: "" Throughout the United States, there will be 385 conventions in 103 cities. Worldwide, there are over 7,600,000 Witnesses in more than 109,000 congregations.""
There is no way to corroborate the 7,600,000 figure as these are SELF-REPORTING statistics,nevertheless the bigger you are the harder you fall. The RCC has 850,000,0000 and are more likeable charitable and they have had to pay out $2 billion in abuse damages so far.
Last but not least,what about GOD's feelings? Does GOD matter to the Watchtower?
Jehovah’s Witnesses promotion of their Watchtower sect has the net effect of stumbling and turning people off to the real Gospel.
Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte; and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves” (Matt 23:15)
