  QUESTION 7: Should the elders ask a man who is reaching out for congregation privileges
  whether he has ever molested a child?

  24. Answer: No.

  25. Factors to consider: When the branch office approves a recommendation for one to be a
  ministerial servant or an elder, we ask two elders to speak with the man before his appointment is
  announced. They will ask if there is anything in his past or in his personal or family life that would
  prevent him from being qualified to accept the appointment or if there is any other reason why his
  appointment should not be announced. If he has never previously served as an elder or a ministerial
  servant, the elders should specifically ask him if he has ever been involved in the past with child
  sexual molestation.

  In other words: No, but actually yes.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Barbara, thanks for sharing this article. It is really well written. It's nice to have a better personal profile for the people involved in a case which was very much in the news over the last couple of years.

  last night and elder gave the bible highlights at the congregation.

  he talked about apostasy.

  and among other things he said: "report to the elders if you hear anyone in the congregation talking bad about the governing body".

  The members of the Governing Body are hypocrites, liars and cowards.

  Feel free to turn me into the elders.

  If any elder dares to try and mess with me he will have his ass summarily handed to him.

  Nice. More evidence of deliberate lies, coverups and deceptive practices all motivated to avoid any liability and accountability.

  Too bad there really isn't a Jehovah watching. I'm beginning to think the GB don't even believe in God. If they did, how could they do such things which they clearly know he condemns?

  C0ntr013r: If ... a child [is molested, that] is not important, what is important is if anyone knows about it!?!?

  Yes. It is all about appearances. Unfortunately it is only about the appearances of the organization with complete and utter disregard for anything or anyone else.

  The negligence of the Governing Body and the entire leadership of the WTBTS is criminal.

  ScenicViewer: How could there be an outcry about him, or how could he be a known child molester if his identity is kept secret from the congregation and the police, which is generally the case?

  That is, I believe, the entire point of this investigation.

  Well put!

  11. If a former child molester continues in a position of responsibility ... it could affect the faith and confidence that our brothers have in Jehovah’s organization.
  

  Really?
