-Caveat Lector- Dear List, Below please find information on this article. Sincerely, Neil Brick from http://www.courier-journal.com/localnews/2001/02/04/ky_jeh.html Jehovah's Witnesses' policy on child molesters attacked - Church says it follows laws on reporting suspected abuse By Peter Smith, the Courier-journal - Louisville, Ky (2/4/01) by Peter Ackerman, Asbury Park Press "The Jehovah's Witnesses church is under growing attack by some of its members for policies they say can allow child molesters to go unreported, putting church members and the public at increased risk. Church officials say elders alert authorities to suspected abuse in states that require reporting. But in other states they prefer to take steps to protect children that don't breach what they see as confidential communication between elders and members. Church policy also allows some confessed molesters -- whose offenses are usually kept secret -- to stay in the church community, sometimes with tragic results." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis- directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
