    Amazing,

    I've known 7 molesters who were JWs.

    0, I guess this doesn't matter for the poll but I did know someone who knew someone, she was a therapist who's a witness.

    0 (changed to 1 upon reflection)

    Witness for 28 years and in about 10 congregations. However, I didn't know much that went on, to tell the truth. I'm just like that. The point is, even if it were going on, I would be the last to know.

    OOPS! When you have teens, you hear things. So, make that 1. A friend of my daughter's said her father (a brother in the cong.) molested her.

    Hello Amazing:

    I have to say 0. I never heard of this kind of thing until silentlambs blew the lid off this can of worms.

    My elder father and elder ex-husband both were of the rare tight-lipped elders who kept judicial info from their families.
