DJK- I anti -witnessed to a local presiding overseer that came to my door last year about the child abuse scandals. I asked him if he would go to the authorities if he knew a witness child was being abused. He said, " Probably ". I asked, " Probably?" Then I asked him , " What about Romans 13:1 that says that we are to be in subjection to the superior authorities ? They stand placed there by God to exercise punishment on lawless people ! Are you going to prevent the authorities from doing their job of punishing pedophiles by NOT reporting it to the authorities ? Then you are going against Jehovah's arrangement ! " He said , Well, yes if the child was in danger I'd report it . "
Personally, I feel the whole organization is freaking crazy ! The main thing they are concerned about is appearance to the public ; and their own rank and file members , so they don't start leaving in droves ! It's ridiculous ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
