  I found this article in the online Boston Globe this morning:

  http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/072/metro/All_faiths_question_handling_of_abuse+.shtml

  The first two paragraphs read:

  "The scourge of clergy sexual abuse has afflicted virtually every religious denomination: In recent years rabbis, ministers, and gurus have all been charged with molesting children.

  Hare Krishna temples are filing for bankruptcy because of the anticipated cost of settling abuse litigation, and the Jehovah's Witnesses are facing a first round of lawsuits."

  Wow! Perhaps that will incite some Catholics to point out the problems with the JW's...(lots of Catholics in Boston and all) Maybe a Kennedy will get involved!

  Of course there are always going to be scum who prey on children. The JW's, with their pious attitude on everything and double speak, are worse in my opinion.

  The men who do this and get promoted in the dub ranks are dispicable.
