The Watchtower's Shameful Concealment of Sexual Abusers

One Bethelite (an employee at the Watchtower world headquarters in New York City) named Barbara Anderson discovered that the Watchtower Society follow horrendous policies concerning sexual abusers among their leaders which made it practically impossible for them to be brought to justice and ensured many of them are able to remain undetected within the Watchtower Cult leadership.

These disturbing revelations may be read here.

The Roman Catholic Church has at least admitted that such things have occurred under them and have taken measures, however inadequate they may be, to address this deeply painful issue. The Watchtower Society have not yet even done that much.

  1. I was told something today that took me completely by surprise. The more closed a group is, the greater the chance they will engage in incest (child sexual abuse). The group with the highest rate of incest in America is the Amish.

    (That probably needs to be fact-checked for accuracy.)

    Maybe. Wouldn't know myself though.
