Celestial I would like to remind you of where the Society gets it's elder requirements from in 1 Timothy 3:
3 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
8 In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
Your lengthy analysis of the JW child protection policy doesn't line up with Paul's qualifications in the slightest. The moral thing to do upon hearing about pedophilia is to get involved. In this day in age the local law enforcement is usually your best bet. But you still take matters into your own hands by informing them. Yet, for whatever reason, Elders of congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses, which were sworn by oath into an office of nobility under the qualifications of 1 Timothy 3, report first to the branch office for legal advice before taking righteous action. Only when the situation has first been assessed with a legal lense of the Watchtower do elders take matters into their own hands. This is like calling a snake noble. This obvious legal maneuver was never going to shield the Watchtower from it's crimes forever. It's merely a pathedic attempt to unnaturally elongate the life of a religion that should be long dead.
In 1 Timothy is speaks of leaders being "tested" before being placed into a position of responsibility. I assert that your organization's tests are completely inadequate and yield dangerously ineffective leadership. That is where the problem lies. In the Society's people taking oaths that they ought not. They aren't the kind of men of nobility that it takes to stand up to something like pedophilia. No, the company yes men are the ones that are chosen and from a pool of lesser yes men. The good ones are told to shut up or are chased out. You disgust me Celestial. I don't honestly know how you sleep at night. It's like Outlaw said: selectively stupid.
