The US has a great deal of experience dealing with refugees, after WII they did it continually for almost 50 years. The admission rules were very strict, intense vetting and preferential treatment for families; unmarried males were placed at the bottom of the list.
From what I read it seems like in Europe they had admitted with no vetting a whole bunch of single, younger males; if after that they have no opportunity of holding a job you have a formula for disaster.
some that come to mind for me.. seven brides for seven brothers.

Feb 15 1994 Watchtower]It is precisely because of this close adherence to Bible teachings that the veneration and idolization of human leaders so characteristic of cults today is not to be found among Jehovah’s Witnesses. They reject the concept of a clergy-laity distinction. The Encyclopedia of Religion aptly states about Jehovah’s Witnesses: “A clergy class and distinctive titles are prohibited.”
From the March 1, 2006 Watchtower magazine on page 5 in the article "Who Are Genuine Christians?" we read:
Jesus expects his followers to remain in his word — that is, to stick to his teachings. Instead, religious teachers claiming to follow Christ have “increasingly adopted Greek concepts,” notes theologian Küng. They have replaced Jesus’ teachings with, among others, ideas like the immortality of the soul, a belief in purgatory, worship of Mary, and a clergy class — ideas borrowed from pagan religions and philosophers. - 1 Corinthians 1:19-21; 3:18-20.[/COLOR]

Thanks for the clarification.
I wonder about this:
The confidentiality of.JW Elders and Penitents going to them for a spiritual purpose continue to be protected under Federal Law..
We know that down the line a confession will be shared with others, this reference seems to indicate that in order to keep the privilege they must remain secret.
3. California law defines a “ ‘penitential communication’ “ as “a communication made in confidence, in the presence of no third person so far as the penitent is aware, to a member of the clergy who, in the course of the discipline or practice of the clergy member's church, denomination, or organization, is authorized or accustomed to hear those communications and, under the discipline or tenets of his or her church, denomination, or organization, has a duty to keep those communications secret.” (Evid.Code, § 1032.)

Two cases in California destroyed the so called clergy privilege of the WT, one was the Napa case and the other the Simental case. The rulings were that once that the initial confession is shared with someone else the privilege disappears, very different that the Catholic Church confession. Here is some Silent Lambs information on the Simental case:
CONVICTED!!!
The Desert Sun wire services • June 27, 2008

A 50-year-old Murrieta man convicted of molesting two young sisters in 2005 and 2006 is scheduled to be sentenced today.
Gilbert Simental was convicted of lewd behavior with a child under 14
for molesting two sisters he knew from his Jehovah's Witnesses congregation and
faces 45 years to life in prison when he is sentenced this morning.
It took less than a day for the eight-woman, seven-man jury to find him
guilty of three counts of lewd acts upon a child under 14 for molesting a 9- year-old girl in 2005 and her 10-year-old sister in 2006.
The jury also found true an allegation of multiple victims.
While testifying in his own defense, Simental confessed to molesting the younger sister but denied touching her sibling at a July 15, 2006, pool party and sleepover at his home.
Church elders in the Jehovah's Witness congregation that Simental attended testified during the trial that he told them he molested the girls.
The elders had tried to avoid testifying by claiming clerical privilege, but the judge ruled spoke with them in a group setting, not a confessional setting.
The defendant has another case pending stemming from allegations by a third child that he molested her.

Protecting children is the responsibility of us all. Anybody who suspects that a child is being hurt, has the right to report that suspicion.
Certain professionals, due to their contact or work with children, have special responsibilities. These people are called mandated reporters and are required by law to report suspected child abuse. Mandated reporters are critical in the child abuse prevention effort.
Mandated reporters include but are not limited to:
Mandated reporters are not trained child abuse investigators.
It is critical to child abuse prevention to report suspect abuse and not wait for the child to tell you about the abuse. It is also critical to child abuse investigations that mandated reporters do not conduct interviews to prove abuse is occurring. Suspicion is derived from professionals’ training and experiences.
To make a report of suspected child sexual abuse, call ChildLine at 1-800-932-0313, or submit a report online via the Child Welfare Portal.
PCAR has trainers across the Commonwealth in our 50 rape crisis centers that provide in-person training on child abuse recognition and reporting. Our curriculum has been approved by the Department of Human Services in accordance with Act 31 of 2014 and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education in accordance with Act 126 of the Pennsylvania Public School Code.

Last years Typhoon that hit the philipines destroyed three KH's where the members were encouraged to stay after the meeting, Im sure because in their eyes it was gods house. All three halls were detroyed and a storm surge came in and took away half of one congragation killing 25+ members. In all at least 45 JW's were killed because they didnt listen to the local authorities but instead saught refuge in Gods House their Kingdom Hall. They Listened, Obeyed and Got Killed, I mean got blessed..Religion is a snare and a racket and the leaders of this religion should be shot!!!
