Ok now you’re changing your story from “abuse doesn’t happen here” to “abuse is rare”. Those are two completely different statements.
And “we have a spiritual paradise” is not the same as saying “abuse doesn’t happen here”. You are being deceptive.
Frankly, your unverified personal experience really is of little merit. Bill Bowen has several thousand such stories on his website.
The two-witness rule works just as I stated.
And when I said the elders are not investigating abuse, I mean they are not conducting a criminal investigation (testing evidence, rape kits, DNA evidence, etc).
All they are doing is seeing if the accused has been accused more than once, if anyone else knows about it, or if he confesses, to see if he qualifies to remain a jw. That’s it.
That doesn’t not compete with what the police do.
