Nothing in society {especially in the US} compares with the weight of the church, regardless of religion. Society teaches that you can never fully trust anyone except for priests, reverends, ministers or whatever.

but it also happens in other religions, school districts, scouting/coaching situations,
But the difference is, no one can find justification in the Scouting Leader's Manual, or the School Policy Notes to tell them it's their duty to cover such things up. The RCC adopted cover ups as a policy. The hierarchy lends itself to one abuser coverer upper having greater influence for... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Keith and Company) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/16729 Wed, 24 Aug 2005 09:42:25 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: JWs and the Two Witness rule ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/16728/t/JWs-and-the-Two-Witness-rule.html#reply-16728

(child abuse) is a human problem, not a JW-specific problem.

With the JW's and the RCC both, i think most people's problem with the organization is not the abuse itself, but the cover ups. It's one thing to know a man is abusing a child, and not be able to tell the cops because it was spoken in a confidence, it's quite another to tell children they'll go to hell, or... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (One Brow) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/16728 Wed, 24 Aug 2005 08:58:25 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: JWs and the Two Witness rule ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/16727/t/JWs-and-the-Two-Witness-rule.html#reply-16727

From 2 Cor 13:1:

Jehovah's Witnesses use this verse (along with Dt.19:15, 1 Tim.5:19, and Mt.18:16) to justify their refusal to report or investigate incidents of child molestation unless two or three JWs have witnessed the event. If witnesses do not come forward (and they are discouraged from doing so since it would embarrass the organization), then the victim is told to be quiet about it -- or risk being... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (One Brow) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/1727 Wed, 24 Aug 2005 08:10:38 GMT
