Can Anybody Tell Me if This Is Fact or Just Lies?

Question by : Can anybody tell me if this is fact or just lies?
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the Watchtower world is the deliberate
tolerance of sexual predators within “Jehovah’s organization”. Despite their denial,
Jehovah’s Witnesses are trapped in an organization which tolerates disgusting and
deplorable behavior. I’d like to introduce myself before we start discussing this issue
of pedophilia that is rampant amongst the religious group known as Jehovah’s
Witnesses. My name is Mark H. Palo and I am a former Jehovah’s Witness of almost
forty years. Twice I have been a victim of pedophile molestations at the hands of two
different Jehovah’s Witnesses. I was between the age of ten and twelve years old. My
molesters where never caught or punished. Presently I am fifty-seven years old and
hold an associates degree in Human Services and am attending The University of
Massachusetts, Lowell, majoring in psycho/sociology. I hold a 3.8 GPA and hold
high honors by being accepted into the Phi Theta Kappa Society. At this time I work
at a Substance Abuse Clinic as a Consumer Advocate. My job is to see that all the
clients are given fair and timely treatment. I handle client issues, concerns, and work
to attain their city, state and federal benefits. I also work with the elderly population
of my city to educate them with regards to the dangers of misuse of prescription
drugs, alcohol, and OTC drugs. I run seminars at schools, colleges, and elderly
housing sites. The most accurate description of pedophilia can be found by turning
to the Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders, better known as the
DSM. This publication is the virtual Bible that is used by all Therapists,
Psychologists, and Psychiatrists in the United States and abroad. (DSM-V ,p527,
sec.302.2) Pedophilia:
