But even if I was being legalistic. Would the fact that the legislatures in countries like Korea, Germany or Italy allow for the shockingly low age of consent, does that make them complicit for harm caused by people who take advantage of it? Does it make the police and prosecutors complicit because there is nothing legally they can do to stop those people from using the law to their advantage? No, they are not complicit.

You are the one that said that it is illegal. And these are pretty modern countries that have low age of consents.

Actually not always if an adult has sex with a child is it rape legally speaking. It is what the laws of that land are. In some countries, adults can have sex with children as young as 13 or 14 and it is perfectly legal.

The broadcasts are filmed and translated months ahead of time. there may be an introduction video, but there is no precedent since this is the first new member since JW Broadcasting was formed.

Also, court after court has ruled that Watchtower does not have a fiduciary responsibility and that there is no special relation between congregants and the religion. Also just as in California, other states have shown that there is no duty to warn or a duty to protect.

He was the US Gymnastics physician who was convicted of child molestation. They just went through 7 days of victims impact statements and he was sentenced to 50-174 years in prison in federal court. That is in addition to his state convictions.

Again why would the lawyers even care? Again unless you are saying that the members have committed these actions themselves they cannot be prosecuted. I don't understand why Watchtower would care.

Why would they be watching? There is no accusation against a GB member. Larry Nassar is the one who actually abused children. Unless your actually accusing actual members of child abuse.

Natural disasters cause the most grief and misery today
by nowwhat? inits not wars caused by satan and man.
its hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and tornadoes!
so the logical question is jesus showed he can control the weather when on earth.

I have a question where did you get your facts that natural disasters have killed or injured more than war. I will give you that drought leads to famine, but that also leads to civil conflict between people.

While that story is horrendous it also shows human nature. The woman has a duty to find out whatever she can from a potential husband through asking questions of the man and spending time with him. Granted you did not indicate what time era this event took place, it is presumable that the man after being convicted had to report as a sex offender depending on the state laws, so she could have found that information that way. Also, there have been instances where women know that they are marrying sexual offenders and don't care or overlook it because they feel that love is stronger than that. Your story while true has to be looked at all angles and can't just lay the blame because someone didn't come up to her and tell her that he was convicted of a sexual assault.
