because Witnesses viewed sexual child abuse as a “sin” not a crime; Men who molested were sinners—not criminals—and there were rules in place how to deal with sinners, though attitudes have changed on this subject due to recent publicity
I usually try to stay away from these kinds of threads because they hit so close to home. I was sexually abused by my uncle from the age of 4 to 10. I finally got the guts at 17 to let my family know what was going on. I was ridiculed and treated like I was the one who had done wrong. My uncle was NOT df'd and he was welcomed into my parents' home time and time again after I outed him. The elders in my cong. asked me if I could forgive him and I told them "no, not at this time". I still haven't forgiven him for his sick and twisted mind.
I am glad someone with the resources is speaking out publicly for the abused children of this cult. Thanks Jeff for keeping us up to date.
