    I was talking to an Elder recently about all sorts of things non J.W related.

    He said something about a guy in his congregation who is related to my ex wife and molested a little girl.

    I said " i don't want to hear anything about that guy after what he did"

    Elder"I dont know what he did"

    Me" He is a child sex offender"

    Elder"Ahhh i didnt know that"

    Me "So when he moved to your congregation a letter from his last congregation was not read out?

    Elder"I cant talk about that"

    I leaft it at that as i couldn't be bothered talking about it any more but think i made my point.

    It is so weird, isn't It? How someone who can one moment be giving a talk about a "God of truth", or counseling someone to "tell the truth"..... or maybe even bragging that "JWs have the truth", and then stare you right in the face and lie to you..

    Yeah, he didn't have a clue did he, lying MoFo's, yet still counsel others on how Jehovah wants them to conduct their lives, which I'm sure doesn't include lying . !!

    I know very well that the entire WT organization can't care less about the welfare of children. However, every time I hear stories like this makes me very angry.

    But remember: according to Watchtower's definition of lying, it's not really a lie if the elder believes you're not entitled to know the truth.

    Maybe nothing was in the letter about him being a molester?

    Starts off at the 16 min. Very similar situation to what you mentioned. https://youtu.be/aqEMkxHTj4w
