Alex, yes or no, is Jesus telling the GB to not report accusations in states where the law does not make it mandatory?
The WT says they comply when the law requires it, but what about when it doesn’t? That’s the real proof that the Organization cares only for its reputation.
Any sane adult would report allegations of abuse even if there were no law stating that such reports were mandatory. Yet the GB needs worldly authorities to make them report....They can’t just tell the Elders to report 100% of the time because it’s the moral thing to do??? They can’t help protect worldly children, potential converts, from abusers by reporting allegations?
What do you think happens when a Pedo is chastised by the Watchtower? Do you think they just stop?? Have you ever thought about all the non-witness children?
I don’t expect a response because like most Pharisaic types, you run from moral and ethical questions, preferring to hide behind legalistic speech. Just like the Pharisees questioned by Jesus, you and your ilk have no moral center. That has been replaced by the appearance of righteousness and legalism.
Better watch out as as your sins may already be sealed in the Heavens.....
