On September 2nd a media frenzy greeted the publication of IICSA's report on the handling of child sexual abuse by a number of religions including Jehovah's Witnesses. I look back on my interview with Joanna Gosling of BBC News. Tom Symonds' BBC article: www.bbc.com/news/uk-58420270 My blog for the National Secular Society on IICSA (pre publication of the report): www.secularism.org.uk/opinion/2021/08/the-child-abuse-inquiry-has-been-too-deferential-to-the-jehovahs-witnesses Richard Scorer's blog for the National Secular Society on IICSA (post publication of the report): www.secularism.org.uk/opinion/2021/09/fundamentalists-are-still-being-given-too-much-of-a-free-pass-on-child-abuse Our JW Watch livestream on the report findings: youtu.be/RwFG9GMG4b0 Read the IICSA report: www.iicsa.org.uk/reports-recommendations/publications/investigation/cp-religious-organisations-settings #iicsa #bbcnews Visit my websites: jwwatch.org reluctantapostate.co Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/cedarsjwsurvey Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/lloydevans Follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/lloydevanscedars/ Join the "JW Watch" sub-Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/JWWATCH/ Buy my book "The Reluctant Apostate": a.co/5qFN4JU Buy my book “How to Escape From Jehovah’s Witnesses“: a.co/e9OQRi1 Leave a voicemail: www.speakpipe.com/cedars Check out my t-shirt designs: teespring.com/stores/the-reluctant-apostate Learn more about #jehovahswitnesses: jwfacts.com and jwsurvey.org My channel is made possible through the generous support of my viewers, including hundreds of patrons. If you would like to support my work, you can do so using the following methods: By Patreon: patreon.com/cedars By PayPal: paypal.me/jwsurvey If you are personally impacted by the issues discussed in my videos and you are in need of support, please feel free to reach out to the JWsurvey team at the following email: support@jwsurvey.org Alternatively, you might consider contacting the Recovering from Religion Foundation, which has trained call agents and support groups specializing in assisting those who have suffered as a result of their experience with religious groups. For more information, please visit: www.recoveringfromreligion.org/contact Though I am deeply touched by the considerable interest in my work, I kindly ask that viewers do NOT try to contact me using Facebook. I very rarely use Facebook as a means of communicating with people and I have unfortunately received hostility from people whose Facebook messages have gone unanswered. If you send a voicemail or JWsurvey email, and your request is urgent, either myself or one of the team of JWsurvey volunteers will attempt to respond. Otherwise, please understand that my time is stretched between my work as an activist and my private life, including my responsibilities as a father and husband. As much as I would like to make myself available to each and every person who reaches out to me, this will only occasionally be possible. I appreciate your understanding.
