UK posters - pedophile documentary tonight
by home_and_dry inthis isn't in any way jw related, but will anyone be watching 'the hunt for britains pedophiles' which starts tonight?
from what i have heard about it, it supposed to be extremly shocking and disturbing, as the bbc got to shadow the scotland yard pedophile unit for two years and this documentary is the end result.
it is supposed to be no holds barred and designed to shock, but in an effort to make more people aware of how huge the issue is here in the uk.

Would a JW Elder consider physical evidence?
by ThatSucks ini was wondering if anyone could comment on the likelyhood of a witness elder considering physical evidence of molestation.
so far all i am hearing about is the 2+ witness rule and i would like further clarification.. if sally-sue's parents walked up to elder marvin and said: 'hey!
brother phaux raped my sally!

Cases involving minors
by TheMatrix inmany on this forum criticize elders as being incompetent.
i've know a few myself, but you must agree that there are also very good elders also.. well, here is a case and i would like to know what you would do if you were an elder.. a fourteen (14) year old male has sex with a twelve (12) year old female.
the female confesses to her parents and the parents report to the elders.

JW official web site article on molesters
by ballistic inthe following link takes you to the official jw site and an article about how the "organisation" treats wrong-doing.
i have pasted the relevant part about molestors here.. i'm suprised by the over-all dumbing-down of the offenses and particularly astonished by expressions such as "struggle to avoid repeating his sin" while it admits that "experience has shown that such an adult may well molest other children".. http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1997/1/1/article_01.htm.
what of a child molester?.
