there's a lot of criticism surrounding the jw's handling of chiild abuse within their ranks with a lot of it being well deserved.
but i'm interested to know how people on here think child abuse allegations should be handled.
there's a few scenarios below, the first couple are easy then it gets a bit more complex.
I think many here, similar to me, are done responding to you.
And as regards that it appears that most of the posters on here with a brain (which I used to think included me), including Simon, are refusing to go anywhere near this or LITS and her emotionally exploitational like farming with a shitty stick (cue another bullying thread from her).

It appears you are really not interested in knowing or understanding other poster's thoughts. Instead of quietly considering feedback provided, you continually disregard, debate and oppose those views. No matter what is stated, you take exception when it doesn't support your viewpoint or the interests of WT.
This is an Internet forum - expect your opinion to be challenged. If you can't take that or back it up then don't fucking comment.
When you're quite finished telling me what opinion I'm allowed to have why don't you pop over to Simon's immigration thread where he's arguing black is white and tell him what opinion he's allowed to have. When you're done with that pop over to one of Cofty's excellent evolution threads (the main reason I visit here tbh) and tell him he's not allowed to hold the opinion he does.
And I haven't set foot in a KH for 20 years - I don't hate them or love them - I'm entirely ambivalent towards them.
For fuck's sake.

There may be all sorts of reasons why the victim would report it to the elders and not the authorities - not least many years of JW indoctrination.
In that case the elders should absolutely not go directly against the wishes of the victim and report it to the police. It's not their place or their right to do that.
many of you don't know me or won't remember me.
i left the jw's and my husband and my home last september - forging a new life in a new town.
i haven't posted here for many months, but have been reading most days.
Happy birthday and pleased that your new start is coming together so well!
i was on a job last week and the p.o from my old congro was there and told me they had just re modled the k.h.the r.b.c quoted them $240.000 they did it for $120.000 so why the big diffrence in price??
?.
By the way, there was another thread here from a month or so ago, the LDC approved the construction of 6 (yes, only 6) new KHs in all of the USA in all of 2016.
If that's the case it's very telling.
it would be interesting to match the number of new halls built to the number of talks/buildings sold off, especially in the western world.
i'm just making my way through crisis of conscience for the second time and once again i am struck by the presentation of such detailed records.
letters are shown in full - copies of letters from the branch, and to the branch.
reports are quoted vebatim.
Also I think in the days before email memos and letters were routinely kept in files as records - so yes it's likely he kept access to them.

There is nothing to debate. Call the police and social services to protect the child and potentially other children.
For everyone who advocates this, they would be willing do this against the wishes of the victim?
The victim may be now an adult, be married with kids and not want to get involved. She may not have even told those close to her, yet you would still go running to the police knowing the potential upset it may cause. The correct answer in this case is no you wouldn't - it is and should be entirely up to the victim.
large article at the top of page 20 in today's - 6th november 2016 - sunday observer, the 'sister' newspaper in the uk of the guardian which only prints monday to saturday.. the national society for the prevention of cruelty to children - nspcc - is the uk's leading children's charity, specialising in child protection and are the only uk children's charity with statutory powers and that means they can take action to safeguard children at risk of abuse.. the headline in the web version is slightly different, but the rest of the article appears to be the same.
nspcc rejects plan for 'mandatory reporting' of suspected child abuse.
the government’s consultation on reporting and acting on child abuse and neglect was launched amid concerns about past abuse in some of the country’s major institutions.
I just don't know what the right solution is.
Which is the main point I've been trying to make, there are all sorts of scenarios where it is very difficult to navigate through to the correct course of action. Especially when it comes to the continuing safeguarding of others.
she was a fine sister with a history that went back six generations with jehovahs witnesses.
her family boasted well over 1000 jw family members, many of which had high station within the organization.
this proud heritage was marred by another fact in the familys history this sister had not disclosed.
It's great when you have a user with multiple (at least two) accounts stalking your every post - it makes you feel loved. I've told her I'm happily married and not interested but she's not taking the hint.
I say at least two as it's suspicious that a new poster has registered and immediately ressurected a 16 year old thread using a very familiar writing style. But I could be wrong and Oletta gets the benefit of the doubt.

Hi Oletta - interesting first post. Welcome to the site, pop over to the introductions section and say hello.
