耶和華見證人的錯謬

耶和華見證人成員性虐兒童 逾千案未報警

最新消息：

【大紀元2015年07月27日訊】（大紀元記者肖婕澳洲悉尼編譯報導）一個皇家委員會在對耶和華見證人（Jehovah's Witnesses）性虐案的審理中獲知，在該宗教團體中發生的1,000多個兒童性虐案從未被報告警方。

據澳洲民族台報導，耶和華見證人的長老強迫一個女孩面對她父親對她的性侵。她父親指責該女孩引誘他。

皇家委員會獲悉，這名女孩的父親是耶和華見證人長老的一個朋友。耶和華見證人的長老願意使該宗教團體的成員們與社會隔絕。

資深大律師斯圖爾特（Angus Stewart）在皇家委員會的聽證會上表示，似乎耶和華見證耶和華見證人成員性虐兒童 逾千案未報警

人教派不認為這有甚麼「不法行為」，這名被稱作BCG的女孩將就她父親對她性侵一案提供證據。

斯圖爾特說，自從1950年代以來，有1,006個由耶和華見證人鑑定的兒童性侵案，沒有向警方報案。

斯圖爾特說，該教派專注於罪惡與犯罪，具有父權結構，男人是一家之主，男人可做長老，只有男人，才能被委任為導師。他們相信《聖經》的話語是受上帝的啟示，並對《聖經》做字面上的解釋，並賴以生存。他們還相信世界末日。

斯特爾特說該女孩將會告訴皇家委員會，她父親還性虐她的姐姐和兩個妹妹。當三名長老在獲知她的案子後，並沒有考慮這是在犯罪。她父親最終被退出該教派，但不是因為性侵，而是因為撒謊。她父親之後馬上就被開除的決定提出上訴，結果在該教派的聽證會上，他承認性侵，他被驅逐，但幾年後他又回到該教派。

1995年，該女孩致信給耶和華見證人的一個公共機構。三個月後她收到一個回覆，上面說會進行一個調查，並對她進行要相信耶和華見證人教派的心理輔導。她最終離開了耶和華見證人，並報警。她父親於2004年被逮捕，被控以猥褻罪和企圖強姦罪，他被判三年監禁。

皇家委員會在未來兩週還將審理兩個兒童性虐案，將有15位證人出庭作證，包括耶和華見證人的長老。目前已有57人就耶和華見證人的兒童性侵案站出來發聲。

因为消息来自《大纪元》，我谨慎起见，找到英语版的澳洲新闻，证实是真消息：

Jehovah's Witnesses hid child sex abuse cases: Australian inquiry told

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/27/us-australia-religion-sexcrimes-idUSKCN0Q10IH20150727

The Jehovah's Witnesses Church in Australia failed to report to police more than 1,000 cases of child sexual abuse going back more than 60 years, a government investigation into abuse and its aftermath heard on Monday.

Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which was launched in 2013 amid allegations of serial child abuse inside the Catholic Church in Australia, has a broad mandate to examine religious and secular organizations.

At the opening hearing into the Jehovah's Witnesses on Monday, Angus Stewart, senior council assisting the commission, described the church as an insular sect with rules designed to stem the reporting of sexual abuse.

"Evidence will be put before the Royal Commission that of the 1,006 alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse identified by the Jehovah’s Witness Church since 1950, not one was reported by the church to secular authorities," he said.

"This suggests that it is the practice of the Jehovah’s Witness church to retain information regarding child sexual abuse offences but not to report allegations of child sexual abuse to the police or other relevant authorities."

The U.S.-based Jehovah's Witnesses number about 8 million worldwide and are known for their foreign ministries as well as their door-to-door campaigns. There are about 68,000 members in Australia, Stewart said.
