Angus: Do you accept that JWs don't report child abuse unless legally required? Is there a scriptural basis for this?
GJ: Prov 25:8-10 is one factor to consider. the 2nd issue 1Pet 5:2,3 - elder doesn't have authority over a family whether they want to report or not...or whether the accused wants to report.

PM: Is there a Biblical impediment to using a woman in the judicial process aspect?
GJ: Commissions suggestions good.
Women can be involved in all aspects up to the judicial decision process.
PM: Can women be involved in the judicial determination of whether the allegation is true or false? Is there room for a change in this?
Gj: Worthy of consideration. Yes it is possible.

Look - we all know everyone needs a release for their stress. What really used to stress me out when i was a kid was when my uncle used to sit on my chest and blow into my nose.
And think about it - nuns are typically women, so they are empty inside according to the WT - plus they're Catholic - so they already got two strikes against them when they step up to the plate. Trying to put a restriction on their masturbatory privileges will just make them feel paralyzed and will lead to greater problems.
I think the real focus should be on 'drunk women'. When you have a masturbation exacerbation problem - the nuns are just going to turn to alcohol and that will ruin it for the rest of us because there is nothing worse than a drunk nun (or woman for that matter) in a pub. They get really loud and high pitched screechy sounding like minnie mouse. I say let the nuns masturbate.
"sadly, though, most [pedophiles] go unpunished by authorities today.
in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.
other lands have had a similar record.

148,040 victims over the period of 1975-2014. one molester/cong...holySH*T Batman!!!
Before following your research into this, Marvin, I had in the back of my mind - MAYBE 100k but no more than 110k victims (just 'shootin' from the hip') but 148,040 victims over the period of 1975-2014 - Unbelievable!!
Wt makes it sound like pedophilia is their top priority in that 2002 article. But the truth is they have excerbated the problem with their cover up policies. Thankfully, the ARC has taken a stand now and said: "YOUNG LIVES MATTER"!
Child abuse is a matter that should be addressed by governments in every country all over the world. The ball is rolling now and over time it will have an effect. The shallow discourse of WT and others like them is being overshadowed by public demand now.
many hundreds and perhaps thousands of people, worldwide, are eagerly waiting for the questioning of geoffrey jackson at the australian royal commission on institutional response to child abuse.
this is the day that many have hungered for.
finally, a member of the governing body being questioned and compelled to make full disclosure, to the best of his knowledge, the very best of his knowledge.
I'm really, really hoping he'll ID every JW he knows, no matter what his rank or status in the organization, whether in the past or present, whom he has known to be a pedophile.
ok.........nevermind.
my greatest hope is that when geoffrey was a youngun' that his momma taught him to 'tell the truth'.. if geoffrey does not tell the truth, my second great hope is that his momma 'wallups him, but good'.. here's hoping he doesn't 'crawfish' on the witness stand.. crawfish :
a] to cheat, decieve, or otherwise do a person wrong b] go back on what you said previously
ditto Billy.... can't trust these "nobles".
