  'Offensive leaflets circulated in Rutherglen target religious group'

  "Hundreds of leaflets have been issued in the Rutherglen Main Street area, claiming to reveal the “frightening truth about Jehovah’s Witnesses”.

  They make several false and offensive claims against the religion.

  They include stating that: “confessed paedophiles may be put in positions of authority over others”

  Apparently Mr. Henshaw hadn't been to JWFacts.com

  "However, the 2010 Elders manual indicates that it is possible for a child abuser to serve as an Elder or Ministerial Servant after "many years" have passed.

  "Moreover, the nature of the sin may reflect greatly on his qualifications to serve. For example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for many years.- w97 1/1 pp. 26-29; w77 pp. 697-698. "

  http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/paedophilia.php

  Privileges' may be restored to known child sex offenders if "considerable time has passed," at the discretion of local elders. [29]

  1. "To All Bodies of Elders", October 1, 2012 par. 23
  3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses'_handling_of_child_sex_abuse

  Sol is not certain if “confessed paedophiles that may eventually be put in positions of authority' can be considered a hate crime targeting Jehovah Witness minors?

  Or that even repeating this speech is now a hate crime in Scotland?

  Scottish law has been referenced to from the USA Senate floor in the past during President Clinton's impeachment.

  "My position in the matter is that the case has not been proved. I have gone back to Scottish law where there are three verdicts: guilty, not guilty, and not proved. I am not prepared to say on this record that President Clinton is not guilty. But I am certainly not prepared to say that he is guilty. There are precedents for a Senator voting present. I hope that I will be accorded the opportunity to vote not proved in this case."

  Jehovah’s Witnesses in Sierra Leone stamp out, "false rumors about the source of Ebola".

  In July, traveling representatives of Jehovah’s Witnesses began making special two-day visits to each congregation in Sierra Leone and Guinea.

  The visits feature a talk entitled “Obedience Saves Lives,”

  "of the 2,800 Witnesses in Guinea and Sierra Leone, one female Witness who was a nurse contracted the Ebola virus and died on September 25, 2014. Of the 6,365 Witnesses in Liberia, 10 have died as a result of the disease; 6 were health workers."
