    Will the Child Abuse situation blow up in the society's faces?

    How world wide do you think its effects will be and When?

    I am only interested to know because if i share with other Witnesses i'd like to know how much they will of heard and how much it'll matter, at the moment it seems its not recieved as much media attention as he Catholic Church for example, will this Change?

    As far as I can tell, the average JW knows next to nothing about the pedophile scandal. My daughter encountered some JW's at her front door fairly recently, and they clearly were totally in the dark about it. They told my daughter that when such things happened, the guilty party would be disfellowshipped, but nothing about the "two-witness rule."

    My sister had an experience lately that shows the JW's are cracking down on people (relatives!) being alone together without a spouse present. I told her it was the way the WT was doing damage control after the pedophile scandal. My sister, who does not look at the big picture, just took personal offense instead of considering the real cause for her sister-in-law's refusal to allow her husband's blood niece to be alone with her husband in the house. It was of no concern to the JW SIL that the girl's parents trusted the girl's father's brother and the parents had no problem with the girl spending time alone with her uncle.

    What a crazy bunch!

    I believe something might eventually blow up, I am and I think a lot of other people here are seeing the same thing, that the WTBTS is becoming more and more "cultish" and eventually ( I hope) they will do something really stupid and it will blow up in their faces.

    It will change in time. But it will take a cocerted effort and the courage of non jw's to talk with them about it. They will not know from their governing body and elders. They want this swept under the rug fast. But Barbara Anderson's cd is quite revealing of the details of the settlement, so justice won't be kept down forever

    what led me to leave was their history of being arrogant and the policy changes from the beginning were absurd. i left b/c their history continues to repeat itself.

    unfortunately, as history also shows, they get out of these idiotic false teaching, bogus predictions by blaming it on the masses, and anyone showing interest gets instant 'family' and social coddling....so i see no end to this, only a group of smart people who get out before ruining their whole lives and accepting abuse and projecting abuse and continuing the cycle.

    I doubt it. Most witnesses have seen it all thru the years.

    Fraud - Adultery - wife swapping - lying and cheating, everything you see in the world, it happens in the local congr.

    Many already know about the child abuse but of course their way out of it is that jehovah is cleansing the organization.

    They always put a positive spin on it.

    I'm not sure if many jw will even know he was a jw, as apart from my mum every non jw me or hubs have mentioned this too have heard of the case but didn't realise he was a jw, that fact hasn't been recorded/reported on every paper. Hubby saw it in the paper but it didn't mention him being a jw, so i had to tell him.

    Personally i think nothing will change...sigh

    i dont believe something will change. it will stay merely the same. some individuals will leave the org.

    most jws will never know what happened and the rest think its lies from the devil (ya know, satans lies can perfectly look like truth) or gods way of throwing the pedophiles out (he makes it stricter now).

    that the way the spirit guided GB does its job CREATED the problem and that they try to cover up will never jump into their minds.

    thats jw thinking and i perfectly understand how to think this way... even they i dont understand it lol
