Any organization can house predators, despite its best attempts to prevent abuse of children. Your church, like the Catholic Church, protects abusers.There is not an organization on earth (that has access to children) that is free of these rock spiders. The Boy Scouts....sporting teams....all churches and institutions in positions of trust, and yes, even ours....but nothing equals the magnitude of the problem experienced in Catholic institutions for God only knows how long, probably for as long as they have been in existence.
That's right: the harm of the Catholic Church is much more about the harm that results when we give a religion power and influence, and not really about the specific doctrines of the Church.Their abuses go back centuries with evidence of the torture perpetrated on innocent people at the order of the Grand Inquisitor. They got away with so much abuse because of the power they wielded over governments.
I'm actually glad that the JWs don't vote or hold office, because a world - or a country - run according to the teachings of the Watchtower Society would be much worse than how things are in Catholic countries today.
