USA, Oklahoma | Jehovah's Witness church elder Ronald Lawrence arrested over sex abuse claims dating back to the 1980's
A 76-year-old McAlester man was arrested Tuesday on 19 counts of sexual abuse after police received claims he molested several children while in a position of authority more than 30 years ago.
McAlester police detectives were alerted to the alleged sexual crimes conducted by Ronald Lawrence back in August when his first accuser reported abuse at the hands of a Jehovah's Witness church leader.
A woman now in her 40s told detectives Lawrence, an elder at McAlester's Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, abused her when she was just eight years old, inviting her to his home, where he fondled her and raped her in his bathtub, according to her testimony found in Lawrence's arrest warrant, which was issued Tuesday.
Two other accusers, also in their 40s, then came forward with similar stories of abuse. Both said they were very young, with one telling investigators the molestation took place from the time she was 10 until she was 13 years old. She reported being assaulted in Lawrence's swimming pool, at the lake and in the janitor's closet at the First National Bank where he worked, his arrest warrant indicates.
Detectives spoke with Lawrence shortly after, on Oct. 25. Lawrence initially denied any sexual contact with two of the three, but admitted to at least some form of inappropriate behavior with one of the alleged victims.
"They shouldn't have [happened]," Lawrence told detectives during a recorded interview. "I'm sure and [it] may have been on purpose, I touched her."
Lawrence also said he was "dis-fellowshipped" from the Kingdom Hall after two allegations from within that community came to light. Lawrence even named another allegation involving a boy in the First National Bank basement, according to the affidavits. He refused to speak with investigators.
But after the interview in which Lawrence denied the majority of allegations facing him, he called a McAlester detective, the document states, to say he had confessed to the Kingdom Hall in 2005 that the claims of abuse were true in order to be reinstated into it.
According to Lawrence's arrest warrant, the elder did not believe the Kingdom Hall ever elected to tell law enforcement of the potential crimes. If officials did, in fact, withhold that information from authorities, they too could be prosecuted
The district attorney's office is now in the process of determining what laws Lawrence might have broken that were in place in the 1980s. McAlester detectives are also exploring the possibility of more victims.

Eight Family Members Killed in Mexico Massacre
MEXICO | November 17, 2013
Mexican police found Sunday a family of eight, including three children, stabbed to death and tied down in their home in the northern city of Ciudad Juarez.
A two-year-old boy survived the attack and was handed to neighbors, local police said.
The Chihuahua state prosecutor's office said the assailants apparently forced their way inside the house and killed two men, three women and three children between the ages of four and six.
Their mouths were covered with duct tape and their hands and feet were tied. Neighbors said they heard gun shots but authorities said the victims had stab wounds.
Neighbors said the house owner was a car salesman.
The family was supposed to attend a meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses when they were attacked inside their home on Sunday morning, according to testimonies.
They were discovered dead after members of the congregation went to look for them.
Ciudad Juarez, which borders the US state of Texas, was once the deadliest city in Mexico amid a turf war between drug cartels.
More than 10,000 people have been killed in the city since 2006 but the murder rate began to decline in 2011.
Local officials say the drop in violence is due to tougher policing and crime prevention programs, but security experts believe it began to wane after the Sinaloa drug cartel defeated the rival Juarez gang.

Is the WTS backing away from "Bible Tall Tales" ?
by Simon inwhen i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.
i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.
saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.

VICTORIA | AUSTRALIA
LINKS:CLERGY who fail to report child abuse by their colleagues should face jail, a landmark state parliamentary inquiry is set to recommend.
After more than 160 hearings over nine months, Australia's first parliamentary inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations will table its findings next week.
The findings of the committee, which considered more than 400 submissions, are scathing of the Catholic Church's actions over several decades, sources have told the Herald Sun.
The committee will recommend a new criminal offence be created for ministers of religion who fail to report physical or sexual abuse of children by other clergy.
The inquiry was set up following 2011's inquiry into the child protection system by retired Supreme Court judge Philip Cummins.
Mr Cummins's report recommended the creation of a new offence for clergy, attracting the same penalties as the existing crimes of "failing to protect a child from harm" and "concealing offences for benefit".
Both can see offenders jailed for up to one year.
Survivors of clergy child sex abuse said they would welcome the move to jail ministers of religion who shield their colleagues.
Stephen Woods, 51, who was sexually assaulted by Catholic clergy when he was a student at St Alipius Christian Brothers Primary School in Ballarat, said the idea was "brilliant stuff".
"But as we are finding out, the Church is still paying huge amounts of money to lawyers to protect and defend pedophiles," he said.
The Family and Community Development Committee, chaired by Liberal Upper House member Georgie Crozier, heard evidence from victims, their families, experts, and other professionals. Almost half of its hearings were held in secret.
Premier Denis Napthine's spokesman, Kathryn McFarlane, said the Government had yet to see the report.
"The Government will be provided with a copy of the committee's report when it is tabled in the Parliament, and is looking forward to reviewing the report and its recommendations before making a decision on any legislative changes," she said.
She said the Government had allocated $650 million in its last three Budgets for vulnerable children and their families and had undertaken significant legislative reform [i.e. Working With Children Check] to protect children.

Back in the 1993 when WTBTS of Pennsylvania registered as an overseas branch in Britain, they were required to file financial statements. They closed their overseas branch in 1999. However, in doing this they left a trail of financial statements and internal operating structures that have since been obtained and published. These can be downloaded from JWLEAKS:
