Murdering, child raping JW denied parole
The ex-husband of a JW woman, who was murdered along with her two children by her JW husband, apparently persuaded the parole board to turn down Jeffery Anderson's bid for parole. Evidently the Society and the local elders were indirectly responsible for the triple murder because of having counseled the abused wife to return to her psychopathic, child-molesting husband. Dutifully following the elder's counsel resulted in her murder and the murder of her children. The surviving ex-husband is also the author of a book entitled: Wolves Among Sheep-The True Story of Murder in a Jehovah's Witness Community

Staggering Catholic hypocrisy
An article appearing in the Catholic News Service accuses the leadership of the Watchtower of taking advantage of biblical illiteracy; this from an organization that once outlawed the reading of the Bible and burned people at the stake for daring to translate the Bible into common languages. The Catholic News Service accuses the WT of inserting the name of Jehovah into the Scriptures in 6,000 places. Perhaps the writer of the article is unaware that the Catholic New Jerusalem Bible used the name Yahweh in the same way.

More JW sex criminals in the news

STORY In Canada a JW man was sentenced to 18 months in jail for groping young girls. The elders of the congregation failed to report the crime to authorities. STORY
Although the Watchtower Society has failed to protect the innocents under their charge and has provided safe haven for thousands of slithering pedophiles within the organization by their laxity, Jehovah continues to use the "superior authorities" to administer justice.
