They do this so that shame will not be brought on the religion. <br /><br />It’s important that they keep a squeaky clean image to the public. Remember they believe they are the only “True” religion and all other Christian Churches are under the control of Satan. JW’s are not supposed to sue other JW’s or involve the police or courts. <br /> <br />They believe these are Satan’s organizations and any crime by a JW should be dealt with internally.The elders will contact the police ONLY if they’re forced to by state law. Otherwise they are forced to follow official policy from headquarters. Some states require that “priests” or “pastors” report child abuse to the authorities. If they are not forced to report them than they cover it up.<br />You might actually get a unreported pedophile knocking on your door next time they show up peddling pamphlets and selling “Eternal Life".<br /> --<br />Danny Haszard *tell the truth don't be afraid*Danny Haszardhttp://www.dannyhaszard.comnoreply@blogger.com
