Jehovah's Witnesses were founded in the 1870's so they haven't had as much time as the Catholics. Only about a century and 1/2. There are about 8.3 million Jehovah's Witnesses and 1.2 Billion Catholics. So one would expect more problems with Catholics eh? But of course the celibacy of the priesthood causes many priests to be tempted, and the availability of altar boys no doubt prompts many to become priests. JW's have a strong male hierarchy which of course is the same as with the Catholics. Creates problems.
The difference is that the JWs have an almost pathological hatred of the government and police, so it's literally against organizational doctrine to report an abusive situation. The Catholic Church might have a history of covering shit up (and yes, that's incredibly bad), but it's not beat into people at Mass to never talk to the police about a crime.
No, it's true. JWs push the idea that all governments are literally run by Satan and the world is collapsing, so you shouldn't cooperate with anything. The Catholic Church hid sex abuse, but not reporting crimes to police is not official doctrine.
The Bible says the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one . Don't say we are the only people who believe this ! That's a lie. We also don't push anything . If you knew anything about what we believe and why we believe it you wouldn't say that .
