There is also the matter of corroboration. I knew one man who was not a witness whose step daughter falsely accused him of abuse over a family row about money.

The downside of mandatory reporting is that perpetrators may be less likely to come forward if they know that as soon as they do it will be reported. There is also the matter of corroboration.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieDoes your organization [1] foster an atmosphere in which pedophiles can come forward or "repent" safe in the knowledge that their crimes won't be reported, or does your organization [2] foster an atmosphere in which children who are victims of sex crimes can come forward safe in the knowledge that the adults around them will report their abusers to the authorities? It can't really be both. So which is it?

I support your right to "worship" how and who you choose.
I abhor what your religious organisation can do to people, I criticise it's dangerous and ant-social teachings and doctrines and I find you personally to be the best example of what cultish indoctrination can do to a person.

Your evasive answers lead me to surmise that the Wikipedia article is completely factual and that you are too sheepish to admit it in front of your friends here on the General Forum. Do the JW elders approve of dishonesty?
