My feelings on this is that if the priests in the Catholic church were exposed with repects to their sexual misconduct there was noecclesiastical privilege for them as the younger victims grew up they informed on these priests. They had to pay the price for what they had done. That too could have been considered heresay by the victums. And the church would have been able to continue in the same way having clergy that were perverts. But as we know this is not the case they are being charged and imprisoned for their terrible disgusting conduct.
I don't think Jehovah's witness should be allowed to use this so called ecclesiastical privilege in any way with regards to anyone who has broken one of the laws of the country and an innocent victum is entitled to all records and reports with regards to the identifcation and deeds committed by these sexual violators..
They(elders) should have no rights what- so -ever, they need to come forward with their knowledge in the case, like they believed the sister not the guy as he would have had to repent to stay in the orgainzation. I am sure this guy was pressured into baptizm.
So those records should have been turned over to the law and I would think this sister has every right to charge the congregation elders for keeping hush hush on the truth of the matter. In my opinion they(elders) are as guilty as the perpatrator in this or any other case that involves sexual molestation, pedophila, incest, touching or sodomy or rape or buggery. All these must be told to the law of the land to protect the other members of the church or in the KH.of JWs . Otherwise what kind of religion are JWs promoting? Oh it is okay for a sexual pervert to become a witness they won't be prosecuted. What an opening for these filthy pigs.. If the society doesn't come forward then they should to be held in contempt for having with held information as I believe all JC are recorded for the head quarters especially with this kind of situation. So they are too quilty. Sue them I say.
