all jws on the stand have stuck to the same line that they have no problem with cooperating with mandatory reporting when state law requires it.. if the law does not require it then bible principles absolutely prevent them from taking away rights of the victim to report abuse to the police or not.. we have already heard from a jw rep a couple of days ago who proudly asserted that when the law conflicts with bible principle they will always obey the bible and quoted acts 5:29 "we must obey god rather than men".. please join the dots!.
Cofty.... That is the point, reporting does not conflict..... JW's already report when mandatory, right?
Two witness rule? they can do that too....
Just let the police do their job (as JW witnesses keep bragging "We do not get in the way of a police investigation") and THEN the JW's can do whatever ritual they very well like to do.
The law will not be taking away their right to worship as they please, interpret the Bible as they please, the JWs will simply do it AFTER the police investigation.

If Jackson has been attending meetings, he is spending at least 4 hours a week away from his father.
He could spend just an hour in a recorded or telephone interview, couldn't he?

Angus is bringing up the point that the obligation of the elders to "take care of the sheep"....
The judge needs the scripture in Matthew: Jesus calls a child next to him, says, 'whoever stumbles one of these little ones'...
They should have a millstone put around their neck, and tossed into the sea.
