  You’ve got to be joking. Are these people aware of his other activities and views? Do they do any kind of vetting? I think he’s just rubbing people’s faces it in now.

  God Has Only One Visible Organization on Earth!

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  why is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?

  why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?

  what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?

  He looks like a person putting on a face pretending to be deranged who doesn’t realise that he actually is deranged.

  Earnest, although reporting is not mandatory by law, there nothing stopping JWs deciding on their own to report all cases as a matter of policy, is there? The fact that they are willing to comply with mandatory reporting when it is the law shows they don’t believe it breaks any scriptural principle. So couldn’t they decide to make it their own policy?

  The idea of a someone at the branch (with what training?) making the decision on whether to report on the basis of a phone call from local elders doesn’t seem ideal does it?

  That’s a good statement Earnest, but I guess there might still be worry around the phrase “if a minor is still in danger”, because how are the elders to determine if a child is still in danger?

  Even if the child concerning whom the allegation has been made is completely safe from further abuse, and the elders are absolutely sure about that (for example, if the victim is now an adult), then how can the elders be sure that no other child is currently in danger from the same individual?

  Arguably any allegation of any abuse by any person necessarily means that the abuser, if not caught, is a potential danger to other children if not reported. If that is so, then it is not appropriate to limit reporting to instances where the elders judge that “a minor is still in danger”, not only because elders are not qualified to make that determination in many instances, but also because there is always such danger if an abuser is not reported.

  Study from Israel shows covid virus doesn’t cause long term heart problems, and yet heart problems overall are on the rise. Is the overall increase in heart problems being caused by the vaccines?
