    It is high time for the Watchtower Society's Governing Body to be held accountable for not only harboring child molesters in their congregations over the years but also for having documented evidence of sexual abuse against children in their congregations destroyed. This crime, like murder, stealing, arson, or any other crime, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Thank you, Dr. K, for this latest update on Jehovah's Witnesses.

    I was born in. Abused at the age of 6, by an Ministerial Servant. He had other victims in the hall and was Disfellowshiped. However he was nit reported to the police, even though it was mandatory. The Service Department at Bethel told them not to report. This man went on to abuse others that weren't JWs. Watchtowers decision destroyed many other lives.

    Deut 19:15 is where JW's (and other churches) assert the infamous "2 Witness Rule", used to hide child sexual abuse, etc.
    But in doing so they willfully ignore the LAW as well as God's command recorded in their own NWT translation Bible: "Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.+ 2 Therefore, whoever opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it WILL BRING JUDGEMENT AGAINST THEMSELVES!" JW's oppose getting the police involved as the law REQUIRES! JW's who submit to this crime of negligence "Have been weighed in the balances and found wanting”. Daniel 5:27 Now they are reaping what they have sown. "Get out of Her my people" God says. Revelation 18:4 Will they finally listen to God? Likely not. It is difficult to leave a tightly controlled cult. PS: Personally we know several suicide victims who suffered without justice. Their blood is on the JW's.

The preaching work was not stopped. Last time i checked if you apply for government funds you go by their rules. The jw lost funding but can still practice their religion. They can still preform a marriage ceremony but cannot do the legal certificate. The bride and groom will have to go to city hall or justice of the peace for that. Thats an easy fix. City hall first. Ceremony at kh after. All legal begal. After all the scriptures tell us Jehovah allowes the secular authorities and we obey unless they go against gods law. Norway has not broken God's law. However ,jw have no trouble with that when it comes to pedos and their file on them.

    Sexual abuse of any description is a world-wide scandal...and no one seems to have any answers. The JWs, by following Biblical principles are trying to deal with these problems Biblically. It doesn't help that pornography of many different types are being distributed wildly, through many media sources or that authorities are abandoning their role in strengthening their family bonding responsibilities which helps to give a freedom of expression over these matters. But, in my Biblical opinion, the greatest cause is in the continual wastage of hormones which leaves our own replicating body cells starved, frustrated, and unfulfilled, and seeking the satisfaction of normal, healthy, cell replication, now denied them. I have read the JW literature and this is the righteous stance they take in their Biblical education programs...trying to tame this hysterical drive.
