Some of my email to the writer of the article: If you ever do some follow up, the scandal in the Catholic religion involving priests getting away with molesting children for years is well known; there has also been a similar scandal in the Jehovah's Witness religion. This one is in many persons' opinions more peculiarly interesting because according to JW rule the JW religion's judicial proceedings will not commence against a member for wrongdoing (such as sexual "sins", even predatory ones involving children) unless TWO persons testify to have witnessed the alleged event. In the case of sexual misconduct of a minor by an adult, this is extremely unlikely to occur, and JWs have been and still are cautioned against or even felt restricted by their religion's elders to not bring the matter to the attention of the secular authorities, the police. Thus over the last many decades there have been thousands upon thousands of abuses in that religion, thereby some of its critics label it a "pedophiles paradise."
