Evil world, children molesting children learned from the adults around them /sigh
Ok, Reniia, I had to step outside for a minute to calm down. See, if you read the article, the parents shunned the girl for reporting it because it "Brought shame on the family."
Lemme tell you a little story about a girl named Leanne Morley. She has a gag order from the WTS, but I sure as hell don't. See, her parents used to farm her out to their (and the PO's) best buddy Don Serjeant. This bastard who was later convicted of molestation and admitted to molesting 60 children (no thanks to the elders who threatened her, me, and others. with df'ing if we reported it, one of us did anyway, thank god). See, she and another kid lived less than a block from that PO, and being taught all their lives that the elders would keep them safe, they would go to his house, begging him to help them, to save them from this monster. His response? Same one he gave to my family when we reported a DIFFERENT molester. "We keep these things quiet to avoid bringing reproach on Jehovah."
Fast forward two years later. Don is out, going door to door after serving only 18 mo. or so. Leanne's life is a mess (so was another child who'd been molested by him, ever see what someone's eyes look like when they've tried to hang themself? No whites, pure red from edema). You know what these elders did after the convictions of these molesters? Did they apologize to these kids? No, they continued to harrass them, threaten them w/ being cut off from their families, and even DURING the lawsuits would show up at their doors under the guise of being out in service (no, not random JW's @ the door, three of the elders from their committee's, together) when they knew damn well where they lived, and had been instructed to stay away.
So, tell me, Ren, where is the difference between these Elders you support, and these Liberian's who's "culture" is to keep it quiet or shun?
