[size=14pt]Jehovah's Witnesses condemned for using 2,000 year old rules regarding child sex abuse[/size]

By Michelle Brown

Jehovah's Witnesses use of 2,000-year-old protocols when dealing with abuse complaints has been condemned in a report by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

Last year, the commission examined the experiences of two abuse survivors within the Jehovah's Witness organisation.

It also looked at evidence from case files that recorded reports or complaints of abuse by just over 1,000 Jehovah's Witnesses.

The commission found children are not adequately protected from the risk of sexual abuse and the organisation does not respond adequately to allegations.

It noted the group's rule — which states officials cannot accept an accusation of wrongdoing unless there are two witnesses — showed a serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse

"The Jehovah's Witness organisation relies on, and applies inflexibly even in the context of child sexual abuse, a rule which was devised more than 2,000 years ago," the report stated.

The commission also criticised the organisation's procedures for addressing complaints as "not survivor-focused", and pointed out there was "little regard to the risk of the perpetrator reoffending".

Serious allegations went unreported

During the 2015 hearing in Sydney, a victim codenamed BCG detailed the disdain she was treated with by the church hierarchy when she complained of the abuse she and her three sisters had been subjected to by their father.

She said the proceedings offered by Jehovah's Witnesses were woefully inadequate.

BCG told the royal commission that, during the criminal proceedings against her father, she was terrified that Jehovah would kill her for having reported to the police and for bringing reproach upon his name.

The case was also mentioned in the commission's report, which took aim at the organisation's "general practice" of not reporting serious instances of child sexual abuse to authorities.

"At the time of the public hearing, the Jehovah's Witness organisation in Australia had recorded allegations, reports or complaints of child sexual abuse made against 1,006 members of the organisation," the report read.

"There is no evidence before the royal commission that the organisation reported any of those allegations to police or any other secular authority."

Though we have not yet had time to process and post every finding, there are some key sections of this document which reveal the unfortunate results of this extensive investigation. On page 77 of this document we find the following topic: (italics and bold ours)

[size=14pt]“Response of the Jehovah’s Witness Organisation to the Sexual Abuse of Children”[/size]

“Having regard to the various matters we have discussed in this report, we have reached a number of general conclusions on the Jehovah’s Witness organisation’s response to the sexual abuse of children.

We do not consider the Jehovah’s Witness organisation to be an organisation which responds adequately to child sexual abuse. We do not believe that children are adequately protected from the risk of sexual abuse for the following reasons:

• The organisation relies on outdated policies and practices to respond to allegations of child sexual abuse. Also, those policies and practices are not subject to ongoing and continuous review. The policies and practices are, by and large, wholly inappropriate and unsuitable for application in cases of child sexual abuse. The organisation’s retention and continued application of policies such as the two-witness rule in cases of child sexual abuse shows a serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse.

• The organisation’s internal disciplinary system for addressing complaints of child sexual abuse is not child or survivor focused in that it is presided over by males and offers a survivor little or no choice about how their complaint is addressed.

• The sanctions available within the organisation’s internal disciplinary system are weak and leave perpetrators of child sexual abuse at large in the organisation and the community.

• In deciding the sanctions to impose and/or precautions to take in relation to a known or suspected perpetrator, the organisation has inadequate regard to the risk that that perpetrator might reoffend. This demonstrates a serious lack of understanding of the nature and impact of child sexual abuse.

• The organisation’s general practice of not reporting serious instances of child sexual abuse to police or authorities – in particular, where the complainant is a child – demonstrates a serious failure by the organisation to provide for the safety and protection of children in the organisation and in the community.”

The statements by the Commission as quoted above require very little explanation. In addition to to the outright and obvious flaws in the Jehovah’s Witness treatment of sexual abuse victims, the authorities involved delved even deeper into the psychology of Witness mind control, and revealed just how devastating it is to be subjected not only to abuse, but the anguish experienced by victims who were further victimized by being shunned by an organization which often sides with the perpetrator rather than the victim. One example is the case of victim BCG. The Commission reported:

“BCG has at times feared being ostracised, shunned and vilified by those around her. She said that she has always lived in fear of her father and that she had lived in fear of Jehovah.

BCG told the Royal Commission that, during the criminal proceedings against her father, she was terrified that Jehovah would kill her for having reported to the police and for bringing reproach upon his name

Fear and control of the emotions of victims was not overlooked by the team of investigators who examined every aspect of Witness culture.

In terms of raw processed data, the following information was presented in the 110 page report:

[size=14pt]“Analysis of the Jehovah’s Witness organisation’s files also showed that:”[/size]

“• the allegations, reports or complaints that the organisation received relate to at least 1,800 alleged victims of child sexual abuse

• 579 of those against whom allegations were made confessed to having committed child sexual abuse

• of the 1,006 members against whom allegations of child sexual abuse were made, 108 were elders or ministerial servants at the time of the first instance of alleged abuse

• 28 alleged perpetrators were appointed as elders or ministerial servants after an allegation of child sexual abuse was made against them

• 401 alleged perpetrators were disfellowshipped as a result of an allegation of child sexual abuse and 230 of those alleged perpetrators were later reinstated

• of those disfellowshipped, 78 were disfellowshipped on more than one occasion as a result of an allegation of child sexual abuse

• In relation to the data, The Watchtower & Ors submitted that:

• there was no evidence before the Royal Commission that there were 1,800 victims

• the Jehovah’s Witness organisation uses a broad definition of reportable sexual misconduct and that definition includes ‘sexting’

• it is the right of an adult survivor of child sexual abuse to decide to report his or her abuse to the police and not that of the organisation

• there was no relevant legislated mandated reporting obligation in most of the jurisdictions in which the 1,006 alleged perpetrators were reported

• in many cases, ‘victims or their families did not want the secular authorities involved’

• a ‘mere recitation of numbers will not help the [Royal] Commission’.

We do not find it necessary to comment on these submissions. The numbers tell their own story. Most of these matters are addressed elsewhere in this report.”

[size=14pt]The Two Witness Rule[/size]

Another topic covered extensively during the Royal Commission was the archaic application of what Jehovah’s Witness call the “two-witness” rule, a device which demands a 2nd Witness to a crime (such as child abuse) – which clearly never exits in cases of child molestation. Yet the JW Governing Body cling to this doctrine despite every opportunity to abandon this teaching without compromising their core beliefs. The commission concluded:

“A complainant of child sexual abuse whose allegation has not been corroborated by confession by their abuser or a second ‘credible’ eyewitness is necessarily disempowered and subjected to ongoing traumatisation. To place a victim of child sexual abuse in such a position is today, and was 30 years ago, unacceptable and wrong.
The Royal Commission considers that, in the interests of child safety, institutions should review and improve all of their policies on child sexual abuse. The two-witness rule is an example of a policy position that, on the evidence before the Royal Commission, has not been revised or improved since the Jehovah’s Witness organisation was founded in the late 19th century. The Jehovah’s Witness organisation relies on, and applies inflexibly even in the context of child sexual abuse, a rule which was devised more than 2,000 years ago.”

[size=14pt]Sanctions against Abusers[/size]

The internal tribunals held among Jehovah’s Witness elders lead most Witnesses to believe that they are safe from sexual predators, but in reality, even when such individuals are spiritually “convicted” and reproved or disfellowshipped, the danger to additional victims still exists. The commission correctly observed:

“if a known abuser is found to be repentant and for that reason is merely reproved, the abuser remains at large in the congregation and the community.

if a known abuser is disfellowshipped and not otherwise dealt with by the authorities, the abuser remains at large in the community.”

As proven by the details of the Australian investigation as well as common knowledge of sexual predators, even Watchtower representative Spinks admitted that JW elders most often do not take into consideration recidivism among child molesters. The commission stated as a result:

“Therefore, a decision to reprove a person, rather than expel or disfellowship them from the congregation, involves no objective consideration of the risk that that person might reoffend.”

[size=14pt]Shunning Condemned[/size]

It is no mystery that the Australian Commission has taken into account the extreme trauma faced by victims who have not only been abused (in many cases by Witnesses in authority) – but when they extricate themselves from this toxic organization to salvage their mental health and well being, they are further traumatized by experiencing complete shunning, either by disassociating themselves from the organization, or by being disfellowshipped for speaking out against the harms inflicted on them by Watchtower’s policy. While we cannot divulge details at the moment, JW Survey is currently investigating one case where multiple elders were recently removed from their positions as the direct result of speaking to the police regarding the molestation charges brought against one Jehovah’s Witness member.

It’s bad enough that JW elders would be removed and disciplined for cooperating with the authorities, but worse yet, abuse victims receive a double-dose of anguish when faced with the inability to speak up about the injustices they faced, for fear of extreme congregational discipline. Said the Commission:

“The Jehovah’s Witness organisation’s practice of shunning members who disassociate from the organisation has the very real potential of putting a survivor in the untenable position of having to choose between constant re-traumatisation at having to share a community with their abuser and losing that entire community altogether.”

[size=14pt]Report Conclusion:[/size]

It is no surprise that with all of the evidence presented in the findings of the Commission, including the woefully damaging testimony of hired Watchtower “expert” Dr. Monica Applewhite, The report found no other recourse but to indict the Watchtower organization as lacking any proper consideration, sympathy and meaningful handling of the child abuse cases it had been made aware of for more than 50 years. Justice McClelland and his team were clearly appalled that the highest ranking member subpoenaed, Geoffrey Jackson, openly admitted that he had not even read or reviewed the testimony of the women whose lives were destroyed by Watchtower policies, but who bravely came forward to tell their stories.

The summary stated:

“Having regard to the various matters we have discussed in this report, we have reached a number of general conclusions on the Jehovah’s Witness organisation’s response to the sexual abuse of children.

We do not consider the Jehovah’s Witness organisation to be an organisation which responds adequately to child sexual abuse. We do not believe that children are adequately protected from the risk of sexual abuse for the following reasons:

• The organisation relies on outdated policies and practices to respond to allegations of child sexual abuse. Also, those policies and practices are not subject to ongoing and continuous review. The policies and practices are, by and large, wholly inappropriate and unsuitable for application in cases of child sexual abuse. The organisation’s retention and continued application of policies such as the two-witness rule in cases of child sexual abuse shows a serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse.

• The organisation’s internal disciplinary system for addressing complaints of child sexual abuse is not child or survivor focused in that it is presided over by males and offers a survivor little or no choice about how their complaint is addressed.

• The sanctions available within the organisation’s internal disciplinary system are weak and leave perpetrators of child sexual abuse at large in the organisation and the community.

• In deciding the sanctions to impose and/or precautions to take in relation to a known or suspected perpetrator, the organisation has inadequate regard to the risk that that perpetrator might reoffend. This demonstrates a serious lack of understanding of the nature and impact of child sexual abuse.

• The organisation’s general practice of not reporting serious instances of child sexual abuse to police or authorities – in particular, where the complainant is a child – demonstrates a serious failure by the organisation to provide for the safety and protection of children in the organisation and in the community.”

As recently reported by JW Survey, the Royal Commission of Australia is far from finished with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Beginning March 20th 2017, an additional inquiry will be opened, with emphasis on the policies and procedures of the Witness organization which have contributed to the thousands of cases of abuse reported so far, and the methods by which the government will deal with this organization.

The real tragedy is that for both victims and Watchtower alike, most of this could have been avoided. The light at the end of the tunnel is the assurance that the unbiased investigation and exposure of Watchtower’s destructive policies will certainly lead to the awakening of countless individuals who have placed their trust in an organization that has victimized its own adherents.

Some of the comments regarding this reports goes as follows

If this was the Catholic church and Australia had found 1,006 priests in that religion having not been reported to the proper authorities, the Watchtower would have been all over that in their magazines and on jwbroadcasting but when it’s them that’s being accused, they not only don’t say anything about it, they will disfellowship anybody who tells about it to the rank and file and will lie about it and the rank and file will believe their lies when confronted with the facts.

The Watchtower can be very proud of themselves for how much control they have over the rank and file. No matter what their policies are, they know that the rank and file will stay loyal to them (Jehovah).

At least Catholics have a choice of finding out which priests molested their kids and whether or not they still want to be Catholics and most would understand if they might want to withdraw from the religion but Witnesses will close their eyes and ears to the truth about their own religion and the Governing Body know it. They have to be laughing at the rank and file for how much control they have over almost 8 million people without a shred of evidence to support their claim that God is backing their religion.

They all deserve to be thrown in jail for how much pain they are responsible for when it comes to those children who have been abused and are still being abused due to their refusal to admit they have never been appointed by God.

This pharisaic organisation that claims to be spokespersons for God has proven once again that it is just another manmade organisation that self promotes. Throughout its whole history it has always been concerned about, “Advertising! Advertising! Advertising!” over & above the wellbeing of its flock. Their whole motive has been to promote a false image. An image of squeaky clean to suck in the newly interested & to keep the rank & file from seeing whats behind their veil of secrecy.

If you are new to this site, I urge you to go & do your research. Type in Irwin Zalkin Law Firm & see what has been kept from you & listen to what he has had to say about the colossal amount of undisclosed hush money WT paid out to silence his clients or listen to what Rick Simons (Candace Conti’s lawyer) has had to say about WT & the tough battle to get them to recognise the error of their ways.

The WT has been riding high on donations by the billions. They have had a never-ending money pit that they have used to silence their victims. They have miss-used the donations that have been naively given to them. That donated money has been used to stall legal battles against the likes of Candace Conti & Jose Lopez (just to name a few) until they tire them out. They’re paying exorbitant money to “worldly legal firms” to fight their battles probably because they have run out of Lawyers that have been used up from the rank & file.

They remind me of the school yard bully that keeps their little group following along with fear & threats. Now the school yard bully has to answer to the School Principal. Thank you Australian Royal Commission.

When I spoke to my circuit overseer about this last year he said wasn’t it great they found the policy the organisation have where the best in the land. I thought that was strange from what I read. But it goes to show he was just going by what he was told to say. Not even looking at the facts.
I can’t wait for the full thrush to come out.

Gentle people, the sins of the few do not condone the attempted implication of the organization of Jehovah’s witneses in the heinous criminal activities in which Satan is the perpetrator.The young lady who presents this narration accusing we witnesses is heresay by any other name. The evil person’s putting this poor young lady up on the stage are in league with the one who told the very first lie and is still the arch liar in this system of things. The hour is upon us which shall be the undoing and end of Satan’s rule in this system of things. Christ Jesus, said that the world will hate you because of me.'” How true. Jehovah God by means of his son, commands us to pray for the sinners. We are all sinners. r.m.Montero.

@Ronald montero
Gentle Ronald, your argument displays the flawed, imprecise thinking that is the result of years of subjection to a mentally-diseased cult. You imply that people are trying to ‘implicate’ the entire jw organization in the crime of actual child abuse, based on the actions of “the few” (not quite sure what your definition of “few” is). However, no one is implying the entire jw organization practices child abuse. The charge is that, the crime having been committed, the jw organization COVERS IT UP, HANDLES IT INCOMPETENTLY and HORRIBLY, and effectively PUNISHES THE VICTIM. Not sure if you actually READ the article, but, in a nutshell, those are the conclusions ARC drew from the Inquiry. It’s true, “we are all sinners”, however, we are not all child rapists or child-rapist apologists. Your persecution complex (paranoia – the product of mentally-diseased conditioning) leads you to believe that you are hated because of christ. I’ve read the bible myself, and never came across a passage where christ molested a child, or encouraged his followers to protect and conceal child molesters, or endorsed the appointment of child molesters as elders or servants.
PS I believe in Freudian Slips. I realize that English may not be your native tongue. However, your spelling of the word “hearsay” interests me. You spelled it “heresay”. I can’t help but wonder if you REALLY meant “heresy”.

If that is how you feel you really are on the wrong site…you need to stay on jw.org … all I can say is from personal experience they do cover up for child molesters in their midst…encouraging victims to leave things in God’s hands…one of the things that persuaded me this is not from God is the fact that I wouldn’t be ‘allowed’ to speak to the now disfellowshipped victim but would be expected to carry on greeting the perpetrator of this disgusting crime as a brother…I have been misled for over 50 years…as you are being misled now.

Ronald – A few things to think about –
607 BCE – Destruction of Jerusalem – LIE
1914, Jesus begins his heavenly rule – LIE
1918, ‘Millions NOW living Will Never Die’ – LIE
1975 – Start of Armageddon – LIE
‘There is no paedophile problem within jw.org’- LIE
Tell me, Ronald, in your opinion, who do JWs REALLY serve? The father of Truth or the father of the Lie?

outandabout says:
November 29, 2016 at 4:45 pm

The trouble is, Bad Penny, is that Ronald will only check those ‘lies’ out on JW Org and get the answer he and the Org want.
The Cultist getting his answers from The Cult.

One of the reasons JW’s don’t think they are in a cult is because their leaders don’t have them ring-fenced in an isolated community.

What Witnesses don’t realise is that there is a fence, but you can’t see it.

It comes in the form of ‘avoid independent thinking’, ‘only get your information from JW.Org’, people who leave are evil’, ‘anything negative about the Org comes from Satan’, ‘don’t trust the media’, you don’t need an education’ etc, etc, etc.

WT have designed these commands specifically to keep the Witnesses thoughts and knowledge under tight control – THEIR control.

They ring fence peoples minds with commands as if from god and cajole them into obedient, unquestioning children.

They make a joke out of them.

I love Jehovah, but Ronald’s comments are unbelievably bad. We cannot accuse her of lying. Let’s learn from this poor girl’s experience and correct our approach. Let the government deal with criminal matters. That’s God’s law. Elders can deal with ‘trivial matters’ (1 Cor 6:2) but not things which are the government’s responsibility.

God’s laws are good. WT’s interpretation has caused the problem. Of course, governments haven’t always done the right thing but they are learning quickly which WT doesn’t seem to be doing.

Twmack says:
November 29, 2016 at 11:50 am

Dear Ronald, you claim the org, cannot be implicated in the
“Sins” of what you say are a “few” . Then you correctly
designate these so called sins as what they really are–
“Heinous Crimes. I wonder if you are as generous in your
judgement of the Catholic Church and others!

Contrary to your claims, the org, has always maintained
that the sins of the few can tarnish the whole congregation
and cause Gods spirit to be withdrawn. The members are
instructed to play an active part in keeping the cong, clean
by reporting any wrong doing they become aware of

The gov, body do not follow their own mandate when it
comes to exposing these heinous crimes. They take no
active part, elders are counselled not to contact the police
unless the law demands it. And even then, to try and
invoke clergy privilege. Exposure is discouraged whenever
possible.

In the almost certain event of no witnesses being found
to a crime of paedophilia the victims are told to “Leave
things in Jehovahs hands. A gagging phrase, an action
stopper if ever there was one, elders would be lost
without it.

It’s all sharp practice and flagrant hypocrisy.

If the truth be known to Jehovah’s Witnesses…a lot of bad things go on in every kingdom hall around the world. They try to hide it and pretend it does not happen. The Royal Commission in Australia has exposed what a corrupt and deceitful organisation it is. Can you really look at the brother/sister sitting next to you at the hall and wonder if they….walk the “Truth”?. Have they really put on the new personality and disposed of the old. Even if they are and I say eventually disfellowshipped…no actual reason is given to the congregation.In fact they never ever disclose why and the reason they got disfellowshipped. Already hiding the actual truth from the members that the congregation needs to know. Duty of Care to fellow members…..non of your business according to the elders. This commission has really opened a can of worms. The worms are squirming !
Clear for all to see….Jehovah not running this corporate money making business.

THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY, or JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES (sic) is NOT a Christian Organization. It is a pack of Hypocrites and Fools.

. DEUTERONOMY 19:14-15.

14. Thou shalt not remove
thy neighbour's landmark,
which they of Old Time
have set in thine inheritance,
which thou shalt inherit
in the land that
The LORD thy God giveth thee
to possess it.
15. One Witness shall not rise up
against a man for any Iniquity,
or for any Sin,
in any Sin that he sinneth:
at the mouth of Two Witnesses,
or at the mouth of Three Witnesses,
shall the matter be Established.

THE LAW REGARDING WITNESSES IS 3,000 years old, not 2,000 years old. Such functional illiteracy by a Crown Prosecutor is inconsistent with their level of Education, and suggests an attack on Christianity itself, dissociating JUDAISM, which would never tolerate any attack on ITS Sacred Beliefs.

. MATTHEW 5:8-20.

8. "Blessed (are) the Pure in Heart;
for they shall see God.
9. "Blessed (are) the Peacemakers:
for they shall be called
The Children of God.
10. "Blessed (are) they
which are persecuted
for Righteousness' Sake:
for theirs' is
The Kingdom of Heaven.
11. "Blessed (are) ye,
when (men) shall revile you,
and persecute you,
and shall say
all manner of Evil
against you falsely,
for my sake.
12. "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great (is) your Reward in Heaven:
for so persecuted they the Prophets
which were before you.
13. "Ye are the Salt of the Earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
It is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out,
and to be trodden under foot of men.
14. "Ye are The Light of the World.
A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.
15. "Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.
16. "Let your light
so shine before men,
that they may see
your Good Works,
and glorify your Father
Which is in Heaven.
17. "Think not that I am come
to destroy The Law,
or The Prophets:
I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfill.
18. "For verily I say unto you,

'TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS,
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTE
SHALL IN NO WISE
PASS FROM THE LAW,
TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.'

19. "Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these
least Commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called The Least
in The Kingdom of Heaven:
But whosoever shall
do and teach (Them),
the same shall be called Great
in The Kingdom of Heaven.
20. "For I say unto you,

'THAT EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
SHALL EXCEED (THE RIGHTEOUSNESS)
OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
YE SHALL IN NO CASE ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.' "

. MATTHEW 7:7-12.

7. "Ask, and it shall be given you;
Seek, and ye shall find;
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
8. "For every one that asketh receiveth;
And he that seeketh findeth;
And to him that knocketh,
it shall be opened.
9. "Or what man is there of you,
whom, if his son ask bread,
will he give him a stone?
10. "Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent?
11. "If ye then,
being Evil,
know how to give Good Gifts
to your children,
how much more
shall your Heavenly Father
Which is in Heaven
give Good Things
to them that ask Him?
12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you,
do ye even so unto them:
for this is The Law
and The Prophets."

LORD YAHSHUA SAID to the effect that The Law must be interpreted BETTER than the Pharisees, with a view to SAVING lives, rather than taking them.

That is NOT what The JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES do!

If there are MULTIPLE interpretations of a Commandment of Teaching, and ONE of them will KILL BLACKS, I believe that they WILL CHOOSE THAT ONE, and IGNORE the rest.

There was no BLOOD TRANSFUSION 2,000 years ago, BUT the JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES interpreted a TRADITION OF MEN - even The "APOSTLES," who were NEVER AUTHORIZED to make up their own Commandments- to FORBID BLOOD TRANSFUSION- which is a DEATH SENTENCE on SICKLE-CELL ANAEMIA Sufferers.

The OYINBOS who INVENTED that Law CANNOT GET SICKLE-CELL ANAEMIA!

I have NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER for JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES who DIE from that Judgment. It is perfect Justice according to The Law.

The ELDERS are surely SADISTS- maybe to the extent of being sexually-dysfunctional, unless they have HURT or KILLED someone. Many Oyinbos ARE like that. Otherwise, they would FIND an interpretation of The Bible that would SAVE the CHILDREN.

. MATTHEW 18:15-20.

15. "Moreover, if thy Brother
shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault
between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy Brother.
16. "But of he will not
hear (thee, then)
take with thee
one or two more,

'That by the mouth
of two or three Witnesses
every word may be established.'

17. "And if he shall neglect
to hear them,
tell (It) to the Church:
but if he neglect to hear the Church,
let him be unto thee
as an Heathen Man
and a Publican.
18. "Verily I say unto you,

'Whatsoever ye shall bind on Earth
shall be bound in Heaven:
and whatsoever ye shall
loose on Earth
shall be loosed in Heaven.'

19. "Again I say unto you,

'That if two of you
shall agree on Earth
as touching any thing
that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them
of my Father
Which is in Heaven.'

20. "For where two or three
are gathered together in my Name,
there am I in the midst of them."

NOWADAYS, there is NO SUCH THING as ONE WITNESS to crimes like PHYSICAL ABUSE.

If you slap or punch someone, FORENSICS TESTS will prove it. You can wash your hands all you like, but when the prosecutor asks how the child's DNA got underneath your fingernails, you will know exactly how the captain of the LUSITANIA felt going down.

When the bruises on a child are revealed by
