Hi Lee: I like all of your proposals. I believe that you are correct in this position,
"Explore linking the blood issue and molestation issues under the larger umbrella of child neglect in the WTS."I believe that neglect affects these and areas of inappropriate dicipline (many JW kids are physically and psychologically abused with dicipline based on WTS policy) and lack or good education. JW kids are often not motivated to do well in grade school, Jr. High, or High School in preparation for college. This is not always the case, but often is as a result of WTS policies. Likewise, due to JW families trying to Pioneer and other excessive time consuming goals, their children can be placed at greater risks by living in substandard conditions, no medical insurance, etc.
I am not trying to broaden the scope too much, but I believe that the WTS policies and constant pushing JWs has resulted in a broad scope of abuse and harm to their children. I also believe that a unified legal iad and assisitance fund, such as what Silent Lambs has alerted us to, would be very workable. I have made preparations in my state to set this up, but I have deferred to SilentLambs unless my help is needed. - Amazing
