  jehovah’s witnesses “child safeguarding policy” (great britain, ireland, uk) – 2017. analysis of the child safeguarding policy of jehovah’s witnesses in the united kingdom and the republic of ireland [2017].

  by barbara anderson.

  2013’s “watch tower bible and tract society of britain and congregations of jehovah’s witnesses in the united kingdom and ireland child safeguarding policy” (wtb&ts of britain’s csp) document was considered to be the official watch tower policy until the release on january 1 of the 2017 “child safeguarding policy of jehovah’s witnesses in the united kingdom, etc.,” (csp of jws in the uk).”.

  This could turn out to be great news. I'm no expert but aren't all Congregations, charities in their own rights and the local elders, aren't they trustees? I was under the impression that trustees were personally liable for example if the charity ended up with a big bill they couldn't pay etc.

  If someone tries to sue the WT and fails because they have wriggled out by making 'Jehovah's Witnesses' responsible, the local elders will sooner or later be the targets. When that happens we will see genuine changes in policy, practice and procedure which will result in adequate protection for vulnerable members. Either that or a raft of elder resignations. Win/win.

  Well if the ARC is as good at cutting through bullshit as they were last time, a couple of questions should cut through the bluster of their 'new policies' and 'adjustments'.

  One being:

  Q: If a child makes an accusation of abuse and there are no witnesses, what do you do and how has this changed?

  Are there any doctrines which all Christian religions follow.

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i cannot think of a single doctrine that is so clearly laid out in the bible that every christian sect teaches the same point.

  are there any doctrine where there is total consensus amongst all christian religions, including jehovah's witnesses?.

  Most will have 'signed up' to the Creed which is a statement of belief in broad terms.

  It's not the just the victim's responsibility to report. It's the responsibility of the elders.

  Let's hope ARC, UK Charities Commission etc push for that and then this directive won't cover anyone's ass.

  What is the possible change they are preparing for? I can't see what you are driving at from the video and the comments.
