In my most recent encounter with JW's at my door last week, I mentioned the pedo issue to the elder-type who waved his Bible at me for 20 minutes.
His consistent response was, "That little child could be lying. A man could be sent to prison on the word of a child."
I said, "But what if that child is telling the truth?"
He said, "But what if that child is lying?"
He just couldn't seem to get his head wrapped around the concept of child sexual abuse as a reality. I think part of the brain-washing on this topic is that it is blown out of proportion due to a lot of children lying, which makes it so much harder to prove it to the average insulated JW. They are in denial.
