A group of ex-Jehovah’s Witness members have assembled on Reddit to
place a billboard calling out leadership in the church for failing to
adequately address sexual abuse — and even for actively covering it up.
The billboard points viewers to a website that offers evidence for the
claims. The group hopes for the message to make an impact during
upcoming conventions, which thousands will attend.
The goal isn’t to make more Jehovah’s Witnesses leave the religion, but to hold Elders accountable for failing to report sexual abuse. The website makes a case for failure to report incidents of sexual abuse, listing a number of cases in which victims were awarded large sums of money when courts determined that Jehovah’s Witness leaders failed to make a necessary report.
