Hi all
Watchtower bible tract society is a religious group which is well known by refusing the blood transfusion.
International headquarter is located in New York in US, and Japanese branch office is located in Ebina city Kanagawa prefecture in Japan.
This religion has a problem of child sexual abuse by the elders and the ministerial servants for a long time.
In California a brave woman has charged WTS for their wrong policy, and now is in contestation.
In the lower court decision, WTS has been ordered to pay millions of dollars both in compensation and punitive damages. Compensatory damages of $7 million have been awarded, of which the Society must pay 40%. A further $21 million is due to be paid by the Society in punitive damages. Then WTS has appealed the case to a higher court.
The child abuse is a personal crime involving a ministerial servant, but WTS failed to handle the issue aright because of wrong policy not based on the Bible teachings. It is considered to be an object of the punishment.
Usually, such crime occur private setting with only two.
When the victim call for help to the congregation, if the perpetrator denies the criminal act, the congregation will do nothing.
The suspect won't be reported to the police, and can hold a good standing in the congregation, and can go door to door ministry.
The victim can't but fall silent.
If the victim voice the secret, she or he would be disfellowshiped.
Even though such a serious issue has been occurring, the WTS has kept it secret, not giving any info about the law suit to the rank and file JWs.
The WTS is going to pay the punitive damages from our world wide ministry donation.
We don't want the WTS to use our donation for such a purpose.
Even though the WTS has been troubled with the same problem which is common in the world in general, they arrogantly claim that they are the only the spirit directed God's organization.
From that high manner, they deliberately ignore the criminal act which damage their reputation, and ask laymen absolute obedience to their man-made policy and doctrine.
I won't approve such haughtiness.
They easily disfellowship anyone who has different view or opinion which weaken the consolidation of power for their man-made organization.
People fooled or indoctrinated by their teaching can't think and judge for themselves.
This is a big issue against human rights.
So I protest against the pseudo theocracy of the Watchtower.
