WHY would Jehovah's Witnesses reject Government calls for Independent Inquiry into sexual abuse?

WHY would Jehovah's Witnesses reject Government  calls for Independent Inquiry into sexual abuse?

[Witness]

Because like Edom, Esau’s progeny, Watchtower’s leaders have no fear of God.

“The terror you inspire
    and the pride of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,
    who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest as high as the eagle’s,
    from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.  Jer 49:16

 

These are the last words of David:

“The inspired utterance of David son of Jesse,
    the utterance of the man exalted by the Most High,
the man anointed by the God of Jacob,
    the hero of Israel’s songs:

² “The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me;
    his word was on my tongue.
³ The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,
    when he rules in the fear of God,
⁴ he is like the light of morning at sunrise
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain
    that brings grass from the earth.’

“If my house were not right with God,
    surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,
    arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
    and grant me my every desire.
⁶ But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,
    which are not gathered with the hand.
⁷ Whoever touches thorns
    uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
    they are burned up where they lie.” 2 Sam 23:1-7

Is the Watchtower "right with God"?  I see only darkness emanating from the Watchtower, its leaders, and its choice to ignore their own sins.

The thought just occurred to me, that is we as Jehovah's Witnesses become tired of waiting on the Governing Body to straighten out this problem, AND hold those accountable, we can do it OURSELVES.

Report EVERYTHING to the police ... and let them sort it out.

Apparently THEIR system of Truth and Justice works better than ours!

Not perfect ..... just better.

hear hear! 

 

 

Only problem is that:

"you're gonna make Jehovah sad"

"you're going to bring reproach on Jehovah's organization" 

"you're going beyond what is written"

"listen to us, even if it sounds bats#it crazy"
