Though they do dance around the fact that child abuse being a criminal act, they have now opened the door slightly further for individuals to contact the authorities if they wish to do so. Hopefully in time their duty of care will encompass elders contacting the authorities when a serious allegation is made. With their rigid 2 witness rule policy, I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Today's local watchtower study. On csa! Must read
by nowwhat? inmy wife told me that the wt conductor said in in the strongest most emphatic way.
that all child abusers will now be reported to the authorities whether there are 2 witnesses or not!
and this is new thinking!

Very intrusive and felt more like an interrogation. Then humiliated by being publicly reproved. Shouldn't have expected anything less from a cult!

Youngest I've personally known as disfellowshipped was a 14yo girl.
This makes my blood boil. What a despicable cult to put a child in such a position. Disgusting

Weekends are a chore for j dubs. I hated feeling guilty because I missed field service or a meeting.

Why I now believe Jehovah's witnesses are a cult!
by UnshackleTheChains ini always tended to avoid using the word 'cult' to describe jehovah's witnesses.
instead, i preferred referring to them as a 'high control group'.
however, having watched the shocking and bizarre behaviour by so called jehovah's witness elders toward eric wilson (borean pickets), this now confirms beyond any doubt in my mind that the watchtower organisation is nothing more than a cult.. i would seriously encourage everyone to watch the video in it's entirety and see how truly cultlike they are.. my jaw still hitting the floor 😮.

IICSA.... Haven't we heard all this before?

The reason I mentioned this was there was high hopes the charity commission a few years back were going to make an impact on watchtower, but it all kind off fizzled out. So with that in mind, is there much hope that the 'Independent inquiry child sex abuse' will make a difference?
