  Montana sees flurry of child sex abuse lawsuits as deadline approaches

  On Friday, two sisters sued in U.S. District Court in Billings, accusing the Jehovah’s Witness Church of failing to act after Bruce Mapley Sr. and Gunner Haines admitted to sexually abusing them in the 1970s. Mapley and Haines confessed to Martin Svensen, senior elder of the Hardin congregation, who investigated the allegations, “and was himself engaged in serious sexual abuse of children,” according to attorneys with the Missoula law firm Meyer, Shaffer & Stepans.

  The church temporarily relieved the men of their duties but reinstated them within a year, attorneys say. And while church elders told the congregation that the men had committed a wrongdoing, they gave no more information, the attorneys say, and the abuse continued.

  When one of the GB members ( A. Morris ) comes out and says in one the JWorg's. videos that the organization didn't know that sexual abuse of children was a criminal illegal act, you can see the kind of corruption that been running inside the organization.

  Then again the JWS leaders many times persuaded its members to lie if necessary to support the organization in the public's eye, loyalty is a paramount importance to the organization and a vital indication of ones spiritual strength.

  Vidiot yes it did .

  Saw it myself..

  Lies coming out of the mouths of the JWS leaders is a common occurrence.

  When its realized the JWS demonized the Catholic church for symptomatically covering its own incidences of child sexaul abuse, we can see the ingrain hypocrisy of the GB men.

  They are and always were corrupt lying propagandists supporting themselves to make them look like righteous virtuous men.
