Oh wow! I think everybody should know about this and am so glad that you found this to let the world know!! It really makes me angry that this could happen and shows the JW's for what they are!

It's pathetic - written by those who have no confidence in themselves and just like to play down others!!! Where were all of those who are slamming the JW's when similar and infact worse cases were brought up against Catholic priests? And, fyi, if those who wrote it and those who believe it would care to look at www.jw-media.com, they would find that LONG back, there were circulars instructing every elder to put the child first and hand over the perpetrator of the crime to the law of the land. This has and is being practised - I know of it first hand. This has been re-iterated in a press release, which has also been aired on popular networks, and a copy of the video recording is available on the site. And for those who claim the elders do not help, I know for a fact that if they had cared to take the matter up higher, there would have been no one standing in their way. We do not claim to be perfect. But I would suggest that people find out facts instead of blindly believing everything people say. Remember that even Jesus was accused of a lot of things that were not true - if people just stopped and thought about it.

I feel that the person who wrote this letter isn't keeping an open mind. We are all imperfect and we all do things that are wrong in one way shape or form. God forgives those who are truly repentant, yes we may feel uncomfortable abot someone who did a serious crime against man (and God). We go out to spread the Word of God. There are people of ALL walks of life spreading the Good News (drunkards, murderers, prostitues, single mothers/fathers, gamblers, homosexuals, etc) but Paul said "that's what you once were". Though we can't read hearts, God can and he will give justice where & when it's due.

Well, the true and living God will certainly deal with it! That is an abomination! At the same time this is revealed about the JW organizations, there are christian churches who have had to remove pedophiles from leadership positions. Thankfully they don't always cover it up.

I'm praying for the victims and their families.

Grace(not Law) unto you, and peace(not division),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The letter(law) killeth, (2Cor 3)
but the spirit(grace) giveth life.

I'm all for awareness and understanding,
but not for accusation nor condemnation.
(John 3: 17; John 5: 45; John 8: 3-11)

For the adult woman(church) who committed adult-ery, caught in the act and brought unto the Son of God for his judgment, is told (after twice stooping to write law law and twice uprising, and thereby clearing the room of accusers and condemners without saying a word): "neither do I condemn(law) thee: go(learn) and sin(law) no more" (John 8:3-11). So let our judgment be righteous judgment (grace), not unrighteous judgement (law).

I'm for scrutiny(grace), not for mutiny(law).
This letter smells of pew-y mutiny, to me.

By condemn others, we condemn ourselves.

There is a problem with JWs. They are law law.
Their God on high in heavens: awful lawful God.
Your part is show them the higher God: Grace.

So is over 25% of Amercia 'mentally ill': law law.
And $uch also exists among RCs & Protestants;
Who aren't witnesses of Christ: "the end of the law",
to the point religious America is converting to athieism;
Sick of all impure religions warring, killing with tongues,
which are as WMDs, and cause much "spiritual" abuse.
http://www.godshew.org/RevelatorySermons7.htm

Let us stop physical, emotional, verbal & spiritual abuses,
by simply flushing the source of all such abuses: the law.
http://www.godshew.org/HowbeitAfterward.htm

If it's crap(dung), then flush it. Law is crap.
http://www.godshew.org/Law.htm
http://pub30.bravenet.com/forum/2526810710/show/414069
So "touch not, taste not, handle not" any ordinances(laws).

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

This is one of the reasons I follow no formal religion. There are more crimes committed "in the name of Jehovah (Jesus, Allah, God, add your own Deity here)" that I care to mention.

It is despicable and they WILL indeed get their Judgement Day - in fact it will be more severe for those that lead their flock astray, than for the rest of us.

Jehovah's Witnesses tend to avoid associating with those who insult them and lying slander against them.
