This stuff gets pretty ugly, but the evidence just keeps piling up that the Watchtower's "spiritual paradise" is more like what Bill Bowen of SilentLambs called it: A pedophile's paradise.
Because of the Watchtower's long-standing (only-recently revised) wicked policy of keeping these criminal matters hushed up, the pedophile, who actually confessed to the elders years ago, is not as reprehensible as the Society lawyers who have from behind the scenes advised elders to keep the criminals secreted. So, more correctly, the abuse is not the shame of Jehovah's Witnesses. But the way such matters have been handled, or more appropriately - mishandled - is the shame of Bethel and the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.
But like Jesus said, there is nothing that is carefully hidden that will not come to light. The wicked reasoning the Watchtower Society has used to keep these matters secret is that Jehovah's Witnesses should avoid at all costs bringing reproach on the name of Jehovah by making such matters known to authorities. But now with regular newspaper articles reporting on the "shame of Jehovah's Witnesses" it is the Watchtower Society itself that has brought reproach upon the name of Jehovah in a way that no one else possibly could. That truely is the shame of Jehovah's Witnesses.
