  What is the answer that you gave, that you don't care about the grey areas.

  Did I say that it wasn't child abuse. I said how could this be considered in the jurisdiction of a commission that is mandated to investigate not just child abuse, but child abuse in institutions.

  So if the alleged activity is a criminal act then report it. So if you see someone speed down the road are you required to report it to the police. Or let's say that you see someone or someone confesses that they murdered someone are you required by law to report it. For the vast majority of laws you are not. It is only when the law mandates that you are required to do something are you required to do it.

  Is Stephen Lett an alien imitation?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. humour

  i've been watching quite a bit of gb member stephen lett on youtube recently (no, i'm not thinking of going back to the jws).. i just find him compulsive viewing, like when people slow down to see a car crash.

  i find his facial expressions and intonation spell-binding.. it reminds me a bit of john carpenter's the thing, a film where an alien life-form infects a host and imitates it, spreading throughout camps of remote workers in the antarctic.

  if i were a bethelite living in close proximity to lett, i'd be thinking about giving him the blood test to see if he was normal, lol.. why does lett speak in public the way he does?

  He speaks like that because one of his family members growing up had a hearing and speech problem. So he exaggerates his speech in because that is how he grew up so that, the family member could understand him.

  OC and again that is where the mandatory reporting statutes in each jurisdiction comes into play. It depends again on the jurisdiction. Such as in Alaska and Louisiana, it is rolled into the child abuse statute that if someone sees child pornography then they are required to report the matter. The possession, creation and distribution of child pornography is a separate statute, but the reporting of it falls under the child abuse statute. So just because the child pornography statute doesn't mandate processors of film to report it doesn't mean that they aren't required to report it, it is covered in a separate statute. You have to take the full law into account, just like you have to take the full Watchtower policy in it's totality.

  The reason that that was not brought up by the ARC was that it was outside their scope. How can this be considered the child abuse in an institution. The Commission has a mandate to investigate the investigation of institutional child abuse.

  And I do understand the theory that viewing of pornography degrades and victimizes the performer even when they are adults. The idea is that if these performers did not feel pressured, either by exterior or interior pressures they would not be performing in this type of entertainment. That is why there are nations that have either banned the production or viewing of pornography or have attempted to ban it. Such as South Korea, it is illegal to create pornographic images of any kind in the country.

  So if the child is being victimized each time that someone watches a depiction of child pornography then the child is still in danger, isn't that correct? Then the mandatory reporting would come into play.

  And again I agree that child pornography can and most likely does depict a case of child abuse. So if there is a case of child abuse, and Watchtower has already made it clear that they will report a case of child abuse, then wouldn't Watchtower by their own policy be required to report the child pornography to the authorities?

  OC no one is disputing that child pornography does depict child abuse. All I am saying is that the law does not define child pornography exclusively to the visual depiction of pre-pubescent children either naked or nearly naked, when they are engaged in sex acts with an adult or not. You have narrowed the definition of the legal term of child pornography to make your argument so that no one in the world would dispute it. That is not the case. The law defines any visual representation of someone under 18, in most cases, either naked or engaging in sexual activities.

  As you stated you think that child pornography should be regulated by the law. And you posted as evidence a legal authority. So you have to look at the law, so again my question based on the law of the land, should a young teen couple in NC be arrested, prosecuted and put on a sexual registry, because they sent naked pictures of each other to each other?
