michael porter was not a jw while he was abusing children apparently!
by looloo insomeone i know whos mum is a jw said that her mum told her that alot of jws had written to bethel to ask why porter had not been disfellowshipped by the org and apparently they have been told that he was not a jw when he actually abused the children and that when he was asked to be an elder he was asked if there was anything he would like to confess to which is when it all came out , the org have also said that it was all a long time ago so thats why they did nothing !
well the man that abused my child had abused other children "a long time ago" but it did not stop him doing it again .
does anyone on here know if it is true that the org are telling members that he was not a jw at the time he abused children because i believe he has been one all his life?

Is it official policy that elders MUST advise the parent to report abuse?
by Must obey! innotwithstanding the plain fact that the watchtower's heinous "two witness" rule is obviously flawed (scripturally and in terms of natural justice), it seems to me that as long as the elders are advising the parent/caregiver to go to the authorities in every case where an accusation of child abuse has occurred that this is sufficient for the elders to discharge their legal duty, shouldn't it?.
i have heard rumours that this is in fact the official current policy (since when i don't know) of the society: that they tell the elders to advise the parent/caregiver to inform the authorities of alleged child abuse.
but how firm is this policy?

do elders in england have to report abuse ?
by looloo inis it the law in england for elders to report child sex abuse to the police ?
i think teachers and others in a position of trust have to .
if not i dont understand why the elders themselves dont think it is wrong, if a brother confesed to the elders that he had murdered someone would they report that to the police ?

South Africa needs to know - Pedophilia in the JWs
by LouBelle inhi everyone - i ususally post and set up topics in the "friends" section of this forum - i've put this up too.. i know in the usa pedophilia has been exposed in the jw faith - it hasn't even made any kind of stir down here in s.africa - i suppose because no one really knows about it, and it hasn't been brought to the attention of the media.. my reasoning is that this is a world wide faith and such news should be world wide.
i would like to write to our local tv stations to see if they would cover something like this?
does anyone here have experience in doing this kind of thing - i mean i don't even know if i'm allowed too.. help would be appreciated..

would all the elders know ?
by looloo inif there was a police investigation going on in a congregation for child abuse and at least three elders knew about that , would they inform all the other elders what was going on ?
i tried to discuss the matter with an elder concerning my child that had been abused , and he said to me i dont know what you are talking about and dont want to know !
after the court case had finished i complained about his attitutude to me and how it had upset me and was told by an elder that the other elder really did not know what i was talking about as only 2 or 3 elders deal with such things .
