The Jehovahs Witnesses have, apparently, been the subject of Child sexual abuse allegations. Their response . . .
Quote:
The Watch Tower, its headquarters in Brooklyn, is used to implicit obedience and is struggling to regain its battered authority.

In a letter to be read at services, it says: "We abhor the sexual abuse of children and will not protect any perpetra tor of such repugnant acts ...

"However, we must bear in mind the Bible's clear direction: 'No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good (Deuteronomy 19:15)."

Now assuming the broadest possible definition of "witness" allowable to the JW (psychology is a no as is much of DNA evidence) How's this going to help?
