Well MAD you're one reason I discourage my wife from this site ...you see she's the victim of a JW Elder for years when she was little ,and since we've been married and dealt with the WTS over this for many years, we know that what other victims have to say about the way the WTS treated them is dead correct for we have experienced the futility of trying to co-exist in this religion with the perpetrator being treated as innocent and being protected by the local Elders .
They have even gone to the extent of threatening a dear old pioneer sister with dismissal from her "privelege" for even mentioning pedophilia locally occuring ,and especially my wifes case!
The perpetrator was arrested some time ago but is on bail pending evidence accumulation etc and the witnesses in his hall are none the wiser to him being a pervert.
He's even had book studies at his home and helped with quick builds since he was turned in to a commitee over twelve years ago. As has been noted here alot of JW's are like ostrichs because the truth challenges their faith,so they turn their backs on those that need christian love more than anyone!
If my wife read your post she would be made sick I'm sure and I thank Simon for restricting your blind and cruel words to those damaged by WTS policy.
It may be true when JW's say they did'nt personally cause the perverted damage ,but then saying you are part of a loving worldwide organisation of brotherly love and then denying any voice and justice to victims within ,even to the point of silencing them with threats of disfellowshipping is just as perverted to me ....you ignorant foolish person ...does God really have compassion for you now!
