Vidiot: "You know what this reminds me of? When they bumped the bookstudy.
That was unprecedented at the time, but eventually we found out it was because too many cases of child abuse had been happening in and around bookstudy environments…
…and that the Org’s charity status was under review because of it…
…i.e. their tax-exemption was at risk.
To avoid that without having to change their policies or have the real reasons publicized, they simply eliminated the environment.
Now… like the bookstudy, The D2D work has been - for intents and purposes - mandated…
…but recent intel has indicated that the number of kids who’ve been abused whilst being out in the D2D work has become uncomfortably high."
Are you suggesting that if they had implemented some robust child protection policies, not demanded that children be everywhere adults are and they hadn't so stubbornly enforced "the two witnesses rule", they could still have their book studies and also the door to door work, which they now seem to be jettisoning?
