  • I should add this article states the Watch Tower's statement that any negative publicity comes from Satan to make this go away. I love the one where one convicted sex abuser elder served for more than 35 years, a ministry assistant as well. And of course anyone challenging an elder gets disfellowshipped. Don't take my word here. I'm just pointing you to the information. Google Watch Tower Sex Abuse, and you'll get loads of results from news sources like Timeline as well as the US Government. Brings up another question. What does Iran and the Watch Tower Society have in common? They both think the US Government is run by Satan! Another thing you might want to look up SILENT LAMBS This is a site of the victims themselves reporting child molestation as well as rape by Kingdom Hall Elders. I read one where a girl was molested at age 5 and continued more than 10 years. And she won judgment on her assailants. I think I should earn lots of negative points by JW's on this one. But, as you see, I provide some sources. Just a little something to point out some flaws in that true religion. Have to add. It appears JW's are dealing better with this in the UK. And while the Watch Tower Society now keeps a sex abuser data base, they refuse to report it to authorities.
  • I've been a witness all my life and i've heard of the apostates upon silent lambs... If any type of abuse is KNOWN about upon others we will turn them in to the authorities simple and plain. I think this is the most disgusting rumor about us...and I cannot wait til Jehovah Brings upon what is said in Revelation 18:4. Ive met 1 witness who committed this horendous act and they went to jail. So its not something we hide and cover up or that we protect Elders from going to jail...It doesn't matter who you are if you commit a crime you go to jail. So its gonna be a great day when Jehovah brings an end to those spreading lies and rumors about HIM....Because thats what it is your lying about him. No wonder you have no "answers". Also if this was such a "problem" like the catholic churches then why aren't we in the news and on every internet article? Just on some website where apostates cackle and spread lies.
  • afterlife. As I previously said it is all about deeds, not beliefs. Mormons just happen to demonstrate by deeds. Just as Mormons that come here. Never once have they preached. They offer to help with yard and home repairs. Demonstrate charity to open the recipient's mind. 13 Million Mormons World Wide and growing. Watch Tower claims 11 Million JW, but looks more credible at 8 million. And they are losing 13,000 members daily. Though their recruitment is mainly in impoverished African nations and poor unemployed and disabled people in the US. Most Mormons I have known had at least 2 years of college and most more. So Mormons to JW's is much like Brilliant to Stupid. Remember I'm atheist, I don't think inclined to bias. Just call it as I see it.
  • Go to: http://www.pe.com/localnews/inland/stories/PE_News_Locan_N_Witness28.471157c.html What I also did is go to a Witness website and they reported he was wrongly convicted by a Satanic court and a jury of homosexual drug addicts. Not the official JW site, but one by one of their own. Tammy J McCoy was the reporter and can be contacted at: 951-375-3729 or by e-mail at tmccoy@PE.com About time to fully expose Jehovah's Witnesses and Watch Tower for what they really are. I owe a lot of gratitude to pepe, tabithap sheriff and a few others that steered me here. Though I know they intended to cover it all up. Either they straighten out or we should demand authorities put them out of existence or send them to Nigeria where they recruit so many new members.
  • Fact:Child Molestation is rampant and widespread in every facet of todays society,from our educational systems to our judicial/legal/law systems to our religious systems,etc.! One cannot escape it in ANY neighborhood,school,urban or rural setting,religious organization,etc.! The VAST MAJORITY of people DO NOT know how to respond when presented with accusations,allegations,or disclosures! It is a horrific reality to be faced with on any and every level! So much so,in fact,that most,to whom disclosure is made,will respond with denial at first! It is an assault to the senses and beliefs of anyone confronted with it! It is a fairly safe assumption to state that there are probably as many false accusations and allegations as there are true! Having said the above,I would NOT want to be the one charged with the responsiblity of determining the true from the false!It is,in most cases,a monumental task,an undertaking of such grand proportions that even those with years of experience,in investigating such accusations and allegations,are often left reeling with doubts and concerns as to the final outcomes and/or judgements! Whether one likes/agrees with it or not,the principle of establishing a legal matter at the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses IS a BIBLICAL principle!Deut.19:15 states;"One witness shall not rise up against a man for any eniquity,or for any sin,in any sin that he sinneth:at the mouth of two witnesses,or at the mouth of three witnesses,shall the matter be established."See also John 8:17 ; 2 Cor.13:1 ! Here are some personal issues that come into play with a disclosure,allegation of abuse;"This can't be happening/true!""How could I have NOT known?""I trusted him/her!""I couldn't even protect my own son/daughter!""What/who do I believe?" One often comes to feel quite inadequate,as if they failed as a parent,authority figure,etc.!They worry about how they're viewed by friends,family,the community,having not known,having been unaware of what was happening!They no longer feel FIT as a parent or authority figure charged with the care and protection of those in their care!And,as in all too many cases, fall short of handling/dealing with it effectively! Elders of Jehovah's Organization are NO LESS subject to the human frailties and weaknesses that govern the rest of us!Perhaps,like the rest of us,they panick and act ineffectively,especially when it comes to the reputation of what is viewed as God's earthly representative!I'm sure there are many cases which were handled ineffectually,as I'm sure there were many handled appropriately!In Canada,at least to my understanding,ANY allegation or accusation of abuse MUST be reported to the proper authorities-so be it!Let's just make sure we're ALL doing OUR PART and especially,in light of just how rampant abuse is nowadays,be all the more vigilant with whomever we entrust our children to! God,through His word the Bible,warned us all that there would be such horrible times and that even the Congregation would be infiltrated by wrong doers and those seeking do cause harm! I know!I was sexually abused!
