Children who were raped and abused by Jehovah’s Witnesses were told by church elders not to report it because it would shame the religion, it is claimed.

Victims from across Britain have told the BBC how they were routinely abused — but it was hushed up by the secretive organization.

One victim, Louise Palmer, said she was told that reporting her rapist brother to police would “bring reproach on Jehovah.”

The 41-year-old, formerly of Halesowen — a small town 115 miles north-west of London — was born into the organization along with her brother Richard Davenport, who started raping her when she was four. He is now in jail.

She said of the moment she went to elders: “I asked, ‘what should I do? Do you report it to the police, do I report it to the police?'”

“And their words were that they strongly advised me not to go to the police because it would bring reproach on Jehovah.”

Palmer added: “I believe children aren’t safe. No child is ever going to feel like they can come forward.”

Another woman said she was raped as a child by a friend of her brother.

But her parents and elders in the congregation advised her not to report it.

The BBC said it also spoke to male and female victims in Worcestershire, Birmingham, Cheltenham, Leicester and Glasgow who told gave similar accounts.

They claim the religion’s organizing body “self-polices” sins but insists on two witnesses before a congregation will act on any alleged transgression.

But that is impossible in most cases of sexual abuse.

Victims also told the BBC how church elders teach members to avoid interactions with outside authorities and not to take another member to court.

Breaking this rule could lead to expulsion from the religion, they say.

Child abuse lawyer Kathleen Hallisey believes there could be thousands of victims across the country who have not come forward because of the “two witness” rule.

The organization described child abuse as a “heinous crime and sin” and said it did not “shield abusers from the authorities of the consequences of their actions.”

It said: “Any suggestion that Jehovah’s Witnesses covered up child abuse was absolutely false.”

It said victims and their parents had “the absolute right to report the matter to the governmental authorities” and that was “not contingent on the number of witnesses to the offense.”

The statement added “loving and protective parents” were the “best deterrent to child abuse” and elders provided “abuse victims and their families with spiritual comfort from the Bible.”

An ongoing inquiry into safeguarding issues in the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Britain – the UK’s main Jehovah’s Witnesses organization – was begun by the Charity Commission watchdog in 2013.

Most people out of spite fights dirty to lay accusations maliciously even employing false witnesses just to tarnish the image of someone or a group. Matthew 26:59,60 Jesus actually condemned the worship of all the religious groups of His time,even John the Baptist that's the only true prophet during that time told his followers to go and join Jesus' group. John 3:25-30 No doubt they all formed alliance against Jesus and His group, Satan is still very much around today and he's still fighting dirtier than before with his visible and invisible tools. So let them say, Jesus begged His father to change the scene of His death not because Jesus was afraid to die but because of what coming generations would think about the person called "Messiah" accused,tried,judged and sentenced alongside "criminals". Jehovah's response to Jesus in their unheard conversation is evident in Jesus' next statement "let Satan do all he could with his agents, sincere and honesthearted ones will surely make a thorough search and find the truth". So Jesus concluded "let your will be done"! Matthew 26:42

If its a crime I will report it to the police. If I don't do this I become an accomplice. Settle rape or murder within the family first? You must be a joker.

@hairyrapunzel: The online post U have been salivating about on NL also says "Any suggestion that Jehovah's Witnesses covered up child abuse was ABSOLUTELY FALSE". Besides, "victims & parents had the absolute right to report to the governmental authorities & that was not contingent on the number of witnesses".
Indeed, U just dey expose who U are (SERIAL LIAR) & what U stand for (Character assassination). There is further proof that U are very dishonest & your posts lack objectivity & merit.
" What if a baptised adult Christian sexually molest a child?.... there maybe consequences that he can not avoid. Depending on the laws of the land where he lives, the molester may well have to serve a prison term or face sanctions from the State. The congregation of Jehovah's witnesses will NOT PROTECT HIM from this.... A child molester is subject to severe congregational discipline & restrictions".

If its a crime I will report it to the police. If I don't do this I become an accomplice. Settle rape or murder within the family first? You must be a joker.
So that he will rape the person again or find another victim? You must be wicked.
When Catholic priests his sexual predators you said they are the false religion. Your own is hiding sexual predators and you are saying you want to settle it in the family. You all are hypocrites. Doing the same thing religions you call false religions do and justifying the criminal act.

It's well my friend, let's just say we're all seeing things from different angles and none of US is ready to glance through the other side.So we'll always have different opinions but that shouldn't make US enemies since we can't know each others heart until we discuss about Faith! I believe you'll be a nice person to me if we never discuss religious issues, likewise you too will know that i can be so nice without religious confrontations. No matter what each person feels say or do can't change anything unless you allows for it. God bless you!

So your child that was raped by a church member. Instead of going to the hospital to treat the child and to police/authorities to investigate and prosecute this sexual predator, you go to your elders who are not trained to handle these crimes and the elders will set up a judicial committee and bring the child and predator to the same room to answer questions. If the predator/pedophille denies, information is sent to the branch legal department. If the predator still denies raping the child, you then leave everything in Jehovah's hands.

Nowhere is going to the necessary authorities mentioned.
So the criminal is set free. He continues raping children and keeps on denying and the case continues to be left in Jehovah's hands.
Rape is a crime an evil act to the core. Why leave it in Jehovah's hands. Your two witness rule is evil and it is not to be condoned.

How will you tell me that rape committed against your own child should be settled in the family because the perpetuator is a fellow Jw?

How will you leave a crime committed in secret in Jehovah's hand?
You shun or disfellowshipping smokers as this act is done in the open. People who are not considered criminals in the society. You do not leave it in Jehovah's hands.

You will shun and disfellowship people for accepting blood transfusion or allowing blood transfusion for their children to save their lives. You do not leave it in Jehovah's hands.


But you have to leave a crime committed against your own child by your church member in Jehovah's hands.
Do criminals ever agree to crimes they commit?


You guys even go as far as shunning people for reporting rape to authorities. Your religion is a cruel one.

You will keep rape against your own child in the family because you don't want to bring reproach on Jehovah's name?
You live rape against your own child in Jehovah's hands. You don't even tell the police so they can investigate.
You will even allow your child go face to face with the her rapist. Do you not think about her psychological well being. Do you know she is going to be traumatized forever?
Do you know rape only involves the perpetuator and victim? Do you no there isn't a third party in rape?
Your leaders are accomplices of rapists and pedophilles
