➡ There are reports that all Jehovah's Witness congregations in Pennsylvania are being subpoenaed for records relating to CSA going back to 1987. JWs keep secret internal records, like many other seclusive fundamentalist churches. They hide behind 'clergy-penitent privilege' to protect abusers.
This is a huge step forward. Let's do this to all the fundamentalist cults. Children are stuck in these authoritative environments, they don't know who to turn to, they are taught not to trust people like teachers or guidance counselors, so abuse is kept under wraps within the controlling environment. It's even worse for kids who are home schooled or in private religious schools.
