As for pedophilia, Jehovah’s Witnesses have a problem with pedophilia that makes the Vatican seem like Chris Fucking Hansen. At least they cared about damage control. The Jehovah’s Witnesses, however? They decided that, unless someone was dumb enough to try and rape a child in front of another witness (and sometimes not even then), there’s nothing they can do. Except maybe add their name to a secret database that they have made abundantly clear they’ll only share with authorities if they’re legally forced to do so (like in Australia).
