Victims 'told not to report' Jehovah's Witness child abuse
Victims from across the UK told the BBC they were routinely abused and that the religion's own rules protected perpetrators.
"I asked [the organisation], 'what should I do? Do you report it to the police, [or] 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."
in order for [victims] to take allegations of sexual abuse further, they have to have two witnesses to the abuse

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
