If yes, what do you think you are going to achieve by your continual efforts to drag their name through the mud?
I see no preventative reason why an individual JW member who has faith in Christ cannot be born again of the spirit of God. So you don't have any posts of mine where I've said otherwise??

I'm not dragging any individual's name through any mud. My issue is with the corporation.

Sorry, I didn't know you two are enemies.
I don't see you as an enemy.
I don't see you as extending Christian love to a fellow human being, yet.
Evenso, since God is merciful and extends the possibility of everlasting life to all,
perhaps that will change.
Even Saul changed.

They each think the other is a troll.

You have no idea who I am, what I do or what I don't do and your silly pretence at not understand the idiom I posted is typical obfuscation.

The meat is in the other thread roigam, where you are defending your corporation's horrendous international reputation for failing to report thousands of allegations of child sex abuse.

Weren't you only the other day describing Christians like divegeester as being "infested with lies by Satan"?

Is it not up to individuals to report such allegations?

Yes, a church, or indeed any organisation is made up a congregation of individuals. You did mean to say the individual's name, not the corporation's name didn't you? Or would you like some time to think about it now I've unequivocally answered you question?

In fact what would say to your own question about JWs inheriting eternal life?

So, what is your issue?
How can you intelligently criticize an organization you have never been a part of and have only second or third hand knowledge of.
Other than these OP s on this forum, have you ever had any real contact with JW s?
If you are going to cite them coming to your door, I can imagine how that went.
Evenso, I doubt seriously that you have the slightest idea what the organization is like.
Have you ever been in contact with the organization?
Say, for example at the many building projects they engage in all over the world?

Make the case, if you think you have one: the organizers of a church are aware of allegations that some of their members are committing serious sex crimes against children ~ make the case that there is no obligation for those organizers to report such crimes to the authorities.

Don't be ridiculous roigam, if I'd never met a JW in my entire life I could still comment of the report in that OP and the one you won't go and read (probably because your not allowed to) about the Australian cases.

As it happens I've met lots of JWs and actually I work with at least one.

Are people permitted to draw conclusions about the impact your beliefs and your denominational affiliation have on you based on your intellectual behaviour in discussions here?

No legal requirement in this couintry.
If the parents or victims want to, more power to them.
I don't know if it still is but client-priest, client-doctor, and client-lawyer knowledge is actually protected by law.
This is client-minister information.

So if individuals in a church are aware of allegations and they don't report it you should hold the organizers responsible?
