continuing education course for health care professionals info on child abuse legislation (all states) .
he said i could start a thread with it.
That way, if the molester confesses, they can claim CLERGY/PENITENT PRIVILEGE,
Interesting point Scully, but if the molester does not confess then there is no penitent.
Doesn't that just stink like a load of crap that's been sitting in the hot sun??
Yep sure does !
I believe the way to get these people is to keep hammering the Elders, they are the ones that are putting into practice what the company teaches. Disarm or frighten off the stormtroopers and win the war

I notice on reading through the legislation that the exemption from reporting is to CLERGY/PENITENT not CLERGY/VICTIM so I ask, why are more elders not prosecuted for not reporting ?

i'm listening to this mp3 recording of an interview with jr brown about the wt's child abuse policy right now which i found on watchtowernews.org.. how was this interview obtained, considering that brown wouldn't speak directly to dateline or panorama but only issued a video release?.
just curious.
for some reason i can't find anyone discussing this interview on the board--maybe i've overlooked a topic--and it seems pretty significant!.
JR Brown did give a statement over the telephone to the Panorama reporter.
Could that be the one?

ii just heard a story yesterday that will make you sick to your stomach and i can't believe that i once followed such destructive cult thinking.
i over heard a dub father saying that he turned his son into the elders for smoking!!!
his son is now being df'd over his what his dad said.
Perhaps he has shown the boy love, by getting him DF'd and forcing him away from the company, he has given his son the chance to see the world from a new perspective.
It may just be that this sort of thing will free more people from the company than all the anti-JW books ever written.
We can only hope.

the paducah sun on 1-28-01 stated: (enfasis is mine): .
both brown and moreno said that the elders, who volunteer and are essentially untrained clergy, might err in their application of a policy both believe puts protecting children first.
"it's a matter of trying to balance confidentiality and protecting the child," brown said.
If they are "untrained" why should they deserve to have the same conifentiality like Catholic Priests for confessions?
Legaly they don't.
If you read the exemption rule, in ALL cases of exemption from reporting it states
Priest and PENETANT.
Not Priest and VICTIM.
I am surprised more is not made of this in court.

do you think, in light of the epidemic of stuffed lamb planting going on within the ex-dub community, that owning a toy lamb will become as harshly dealt with by the borg as wearing a cross symbol?edited by - stephanus on 10 september 2002 17:12:35.
I have a strong feeling that the NWT is about to recieve yet another revision to remove all reference to the word LAMB.
searcher.
ps. keep an eye on the business register though, the WBTS will no doubt buy shares in any company that MAKES TOY LAMBS.
This is the sort of dispicable double standard we can expect from them.

on the back of the october 1, 1997 wt, there is a piece on charity dub style.
the title promises a lot, but sentence number 1 immediately qualifies the concept - dub charity is for dubs.
the rest is a testimony by an un-named brother about congregational kindness shown him and his wife while she was dying and after her death.
