dacke,.

i understand your deep desire to believe what you see in print from the wt society.

but whatever it takes, it is important that the child should feel confident that the molester will never be able to get at her (or him) again.

Quote from JW's response to Panorama
by Dacke in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
from jw's letter to betsan powys of panorama (available at www.watchtower.org under "media"),on the policy of jw's handling of child abuse allegations:.

"in addition to making a report to the branch office of jehovah's witnesses, the elders may be required by law to report even uncorroborated or unsubstantiated allegations to the authorities.

if so, we expect the elders to comply.

Numbers Not Meaningful?
by NeonMadman in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i just finished watching the panorama report on jw pedophiles, and like many of you, i am thoroughly disgusted at the watchtower's lying, maneuvering and hypocrisy on this issue.

they are truly a wicked organization, deserving of the worst judgment of both god and man.. one statement they made that just leapt out at me was when the bbc reporter asked the person on the phone at brooklyn bethel how many names were in the society's database of pedophiles within the organization.

the response from the watchtower spokesman was that "focusing on numbers isn't meaningful.".

2. child-abuse
a lot of people here are laughing.

"englishman" wrote (i think):.

"hopefully this will mean that in britain if an elder harasses you before a case comes to court, the elder can be arrested for perverting the course of justice.".

by TheStar in
1. watchtower
2. medical
as i promised in this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=29619&site=3&page=1.

here are the scans of a letter from "the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" regarding a brother's inquiry about donating blood.

this letter is printed in greg stafford's new book "three dissertations on the teachings of jehovah's witnesses".. the scans are not that great but it was the best i could do.. .
