  Let it begin....

  about time..... "teachers, councillors and social workers in england and wales who fail to protect children could face up to five years in jail under new proposals.. the new measures, being unveiled by the prime minister, would see the crime of "wilful neglect" extended to cover children's social care and education.. there would also be unlimited fines for individuals and organisations shown to have let children down.".

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31691061.

  when they so cleverly predicted to us all that the world would turn against them, something that has not happened despite over a 100 years of taunting power and opposing religious figures, now it is likely to begin, they failed to mention that it would be due to rampant paedophilia in 'gods earthly organisation'.what a wholesome enviroment to grow up in and raise a child.. we have heard it said many times here that the jw's won't last as they are so entrenched in trends, so opposite to modern human progress, culture and society, they stand out as more extremist and inhumane by the year, mocked regularly in the media now.

  Thanks snare, this is big news.

  Does anyone agree with me, that the timing of this news release is pretty bad for the org?

  In the last 2 days there have been 3 articles published on Jehovahs Witnesses child abuse cover-ups, and between the roughly 800,000 circulation of the Sunday Times, and however many read The Guardian and Examiner.com , potentially hundreds of thousands of people have read about the organisations failure to protect children in the last two days..

  Then maybe they hear this in the news and start talking...

  (For anyone who missed the articles, see here for links to all of them):

  Another article - Jehovah's Witnesses silencing techniques used in child sex abuses cases

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  here's an interesting quote from it:.

  in a youtube video: jehovah's witnesses threatening children with death - lloyd evans tells the david pakman show that, scientology only has about 50,000 members, whereas the jehovah's witnesses organization has about 8 million.

  its like a comedy show when you look into some of the beliefs of what scientologists adhere to.

It’s like a comedy show when you look into some of the beliefs of what Scientologists adhere to. What we have with the Jehovah's Witnesses is rampant child abuse, rampant “shunning” similar to Scientology, but it’s far more widespread simply because there is far more Jehovah's Witnesses.”

  According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

  2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

  these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

  According to Jwleaks, the letter is publically available.

  See this thread, and click the link Jwleaks provided for the letter download..

  "jwleaks 2 years ago

  JW LEAKS has published the written submission, and annexures, made by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia to the "Inquiry into the Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and other Organisations" and dated April 9, 2013.

  Included is a copy of the October 1, 2012 Body of Elders letter on the handling of child abuse. This places the letter into public domain and now means it can be shared internationally."
