Comments on: The UK Charity Commission Inquiry Into Jehovah’s Witnesses, and an Open Letter to Victims http://jwvictims.org Sat, 12 Nov 2016 04:56:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Alexandra James http://jwvictims.org/the-uk-charity-commission-inquiry-into-jehovahs-witnesses-and-an-open-letter-to-victims/comment-page-1/#comment-12982 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 19:53:35 +0000 http://jwvictims.org/?page_id=97305#comment-12982 Thank you Rachel, I agree. I don’t know why there was outright misinformation being spread about the Charity Commission and their work, it’s intolerable and makes my head hurt thinking about it. We need to cooperate and hope for a good outcome, or at least appreciate the media exposure the WT has gotten so far, plus all the time and money they need to spend on something other than recruiting and expanding!

He has my utmost trust and respect. I felt nothing but empathy and kindness and a determination of steel to bring us some sense of justice. He cannot wave a magic wand but he’s working hard. At least he’s trying, no one else has tried this before. Give the man a chance, these things take time. We’ve all suffered greatly but patience is key. This isn’t going to happen overnight.

However, victims do have recourse to file civil litigation against the Watchtower for sexual abuse claims. You can click on the link at the top of this page, For Legal Questions and Assistance, for a list of clergy abuse lawyers I’ve found online. There are political groups that are trying to get churches taxed or have their standing as a legal religion revoked if they’re found to be abusive, but those changes are a long way off, unfortunately.

How many times do they need to be investigated for child sex abuse complaints before their members wake up and see that there is a problem? People need to know what’s going on and we need to give the Charity Commission our full support and cooperation.

Jesus said “by their fruits you will recognize [his followers]” and we see that Jehovah’s Witnesses have utterly failed to protect thousands of innocent children.

The reality being JW are a cult that uses undue influence to control its members, and has been fully aware of extensive child abuse within its ranks for the last 60+ years.
They are fighting so hard to hide this because it will make the Catholic child abuse scandals look like small.
Remember these are the people that knock on your door on a Saturday morning when your children answer the door.
