Where is your evidence that is occurring? Anyone who has served at the US branch especially in the last 2 or 3 decades will laugh at this. When you walk down the hall you see their names on the outside of the doors, their room numbers are in the Bethel Directory and you see them walking into their rooms in the residence constantly. In fact at Patterson and Wallkill you can stay in their rooms when they are not up at that complex, they are guest rooms. The most that they would have is a super double room that is something like 400 sq feet. This is just like the statements that Watchtower buys them any car they want and they just lounge around all day. A few of them do have nice cars but that is because usually, a friend will buy it for them.

Because the point of this thread, at least how I see it, is that the GB has to be careful because legally they may be held liable for any actions that witnesses commit against children. And DD said that he hopes that it will change our society.
My point is two-fold.
First, would you hold lawmakers complicit in the actions of those that hurt children because they allow for the age of consent to be so low such as at 13 or 14 years old? Would they be held responsible?
Second, that different societies view things differently even though you may think it is cut an dry such as when an adult is having sex with a child. Some societies have decided that the threshold is lower and others view it higher. And these are not just s***hole countries these are some modern and progressive societies.

That just because one society feels that something is wrong or illegal doesn't mean that everyone sees it the same way. And that with instances of child abuse it matters what the law states.

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.
