WIZARD CA- You stated " I wonder why it is when a JW is arrested or sentenced for child abuse , rape, murder, or whatever it always says they are a JW. I don't ever recall seeing it stated that they are agnostic, atheist, Wiccan, Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran , etc. and certainly JW members don't have the market cornered on these crimes. People pose as plumbers, water officials, police officers, etc. "
O.K. It is pretty obvious you have not read the news reports of other murders or child abuse incidences in the last few years my friend. The news either via internet or the newspaper practically ALWAYS describes what religious affiliation a sex offender has been a member in. Let me jostle your memory. In California down in the town of Tracy this spring the news told of a BAPTIST sunday school teacher- a woman - who molested and killed a young girl , a playmate of her daughters and buried her body in a suitcase in an irrigation pond. It was ALL OVER the news.
A couple years ago just as the Associated press exposed the 16 child abuse out of court settlements the WT society made with Jehovah's Witness victims - the newspapers and news was teeming with horrid sexual child abuse crimes that priests and bishops in the CATHOLIC church had committed. Millions of $$$$ in lawsuits.
Just last year in 2008 - children were taken from an offshoot compound of the MORMON church in Texas to be protected from adult males taking minor girls as wives , some who had already given birth to babies due to MORMON adult males inseminating them with their sperm.
Just a week ago - a murderer who had been on the run for 34 years was finally killed in New Mexico and DNA showed he was tied to murders in Canada, and California's north coast a few years ago. The similarity ? This guy left a Bible on the scene of crimes and was known to be religious ( allegedly ) . Once again a nice Christian man killing innocent people getting away with it for years.
Now - What were you saying about the news media NEVER saying what religion a person is in when committing murder or child abuse ??
I think you might have a persecution complex on behalf of Jehovah's Witnesses friend. If you check your facts - names of other religions are mentoned JUST AS MUCH as JW's ever are. What news reports did you say you are reading again ? Peace out, Mr. Flipper
