No answers for your excellant questions just this observation which I posted on another thread:
"And in all probability other cases will start coming forward. This is not a good time to be seen as protecting or abetting pedophiles. The JW'S have already been mentioned in the same company as the Catholic church's on going scandals, Sandusky and Penn State and one or two other current investigations.
There are still a lot of sexually molested JW children out there, a lot of pissed off families and a lot of very hungry attorneys."
I think it really starts now for the WTBTS!
And this verdict just came in:
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Monsignor William Lynn was found guilty on Friday of one count of endangering the welfare of a child, making him the highest-ranking U.S. Roman Catholic official convicted in the church child sex abuse scandal.
The jury acquitted Lynn, who oversaw hundreds of priests in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, on two other counts.
The jury deliberated 13 days before reaching a decision in the trial of Lynn, 61, who for 12 years served as secretary of the clergy. Lynn faces up to seven years in prison on the child endangerment conviction."Wonder how closely the WTBTS is following this case?

Want to know what SNAP is doing and has been doing combatting abuse in religious organizations, specifically the RC? From a viewpoint other than the RC and the media.

Blondie: Thanks. It appears that this group focus their
attention on abuse victim in the Catholic church( which is
understandable). On their web page it states,"Survivors network
of those abused by Priest. We are the largest, oldest and most
active support group for women and men wounded by religious
authority (Priests, mimisters, bishops,deacons, nuns and others.
An independent and confidential organization, with no connection
with the Church or church officials."
To your knowledge, have this group ever been involved with the WT?
I guess the ones here on this site are the unofficially Survivors group
in aiding abused victims of the WT.

In the docs I've read Child Abuse is acknowledged but if, for instance, the abuser
is married it is officially disfellowshipped for adultry.
