Why does God allow human authorities investigate his true people over child abuse claims ?

There are a lot of news reports in the Australian news about authorities wanting to arrest clergy members within the churches over child abuse. Police are worried about the slowness of the government hindering the seizer of files, allowing church heads the opportunity to destroy such before investigation under the guise of a royal commission into child sex abuse can take place. This attack on religion which is long over due, seems ironically to overflow into Jehovah's Witnesses organization - as in recent times Bethel was found destroying a lot of their own files for the same reason - to cover-up child paedophilia cases amongst its members according to insiders whom I have contact with. When I raise it on the door-step with Jws they become critical and immediately leave, rather than deal with the issues and set matters straight. Even if it is not true that has been my own experiences with them in my country.. I, like many Christians, see this attack on religion as a sign of the end and Babylon's fall and the fufillment of prophecy - but it just seems a bit odd that God's true people and mouth piece, his Witnesses are caught up in it all, being tarred with the same brush. How on earth can one have faith in God, when his human representatives are under such a grey storm cloud and getting zapped by lightning from every direction. either he is supporting them or he is not. Normally when such accusations occur; - true or false - one would stand down from their responsibility in order to avoid stumbling - but I don't see the Faithful & Discreet Slave Class, or the POPE with all his Clergy standing down as God's representatives in such matters. many simply get reassigned to a remote congregation - out of sight and out of mind. Naturally any thinking person, seeking the truth of a matter, runs the risk of being stumbled, or worse still, deceived - if God fails to intervene.. I'd be interested any non-critical comments about this.

I went to a Catholic boarding school in England. My friends and I were abused by our Music teacher who was an ex-Priest. Years later we got together and reported him to the Police, he is now a guest of her Majesty the Queen of England.. in Belmarsh Prison. God didn't intervene then, we did.

Any people will be judged according to what they allow. If you want your officials to use the law correctly, then all men must do the same.

In congregations like those, there are other problems which would be picked up by those with a modicum of spiritual discernment and Bible knowledge. Because most self-professed Christians are Bible semi-literate, and fail to progress to the point of exercising a spiritual gift, they depend on the church for guidance, and even salvation in some. The classic example of the kind of abuse you refer, occurred in the Catholic church. Yet only a few parishioners left, while everyone should have. A common mistake is to assume that any individual or organization that proclaims Christ is actually Christian. An unsaved person has no hope with this kind of discernment, and views the visible church as the Church of Christ, as well as many born again Christians.

Why God allows any evil to happen requires a rather long answer but I have the feeling God have some special punishment ready for this kind of people. Matthew 18 6 Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Pedophiles are people who fall under the characteristic of being "without natural affection" (Romans 1:31; 2 Timothy 3:2). The phrase "without natural affection" is translated from one Greek word, and it means inhuman, unloving and unsociable. One without natural affection acts in ways that are against the social norm. This would certainly describe a pedophile.

I do not know the facts of the allegations but no one has the right to abuse children and if no wrong has been done it will be seen. As for you question about how can one follow God when His human representatives.........? You are not to follow human representatives you are to follow God. His word is available to everyone and He is available to everyone. We do not need human representatives we have Him. You can not be lead astray or deceived if you follow Him and Him alone.

Whether the persecution is justified or not, Christians are supposed to accept it as their lot: . MATTHEW 5:9-12. 9. "Blessed are the Peacemakers: for they shall be called The Children of God. 10. "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is The Kingdom of Heaven. 11. "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for Great is your Reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you." If a Christian is doing something wrong, they should correct themselves.

. DEUTERONOMY 8:2-6. 2. And thou shalt remember all the Way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His Commandments, or no. 3. And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know "That Man doth not live by bread only, but by every Word that proceedeth out of The Mouth of the LORD doth Man live." 4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, As a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6. Therefore thou shalt keep The Commandments of The LORD thy God, to walk in His Ways, and to fear Him. Whatever a Christian complains about in life, what can it be, but that they never prayed to alleviate that pain in other people's lives, with diligence and sincerity? . MATTHEW 16:19. 19. "And I will give unto thee The Keys of The Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven." For instance, I have seen supposed Christians with handicaps, who were embittered because they were not healed. I have never seen but the one who prayed for the healing of other Christians' handicaps (Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria's Emmanuel Obadare- the blind miracle Evangelist- preferred to be blind). So also, you never get these Christians praying for other oppressed parents- their heads being so thick, that the only way they could be aware of the problem was to suffer it themselves.

Jehovah's Witnesses are truly unique among religions today. 1. They operate exactly ZERO charitable organizations 2. They operate soley as a corporate entity (legal dept runs everything) 3. Any love they show each other is fake and flimsy and will be turned off in a instant if you question 4. Allow their members to die because of wilfull misinterpretation of scripture concerning Blood transfusions 5. Hold the record for the largest Lawsuit award against them for child sex abuse (google it) 6. They hope and pray that God will soon kill 7.5 billion humans Yes a very special group http://www.jehovahs-witness.net http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_o
