a MONSTER in the room
Today I published a new article addressing in simple terms the problem of Watchtower’s policy regarding known child molesters. As it turns out, Jehovah’s Witnesses have monsters in the room with their children, and no one is telling them the monster is in the room!

Wow! I agree 100%!! I have recently been in an investigatory meeting with Elders for " questions " that I raised. I took the opportunity to let them know in no uncertain terms that I totally disagree with the child protection policy. I mentioned the issue of no-disclosure of offenders to parents. My concern was that not informing the parents robs them of the ability to protect thier child. How do protect your child from an unknown threat? This complaint goes into my permanent file. Thank God!! I am glad to be on record disputing this ignorant policy based on a scripture taken out of context. I have also mentioned this whole scandal to my wife and she agrees with me. I told the Elders ( during thier investigation to get enough dirt on me for a JC ) that the current conversation we were having would be nothing compared to the conversation that would take place if my child was molested on thier watch. The sad thing is that they just are so blinded by GB worship that they cannot see the issue. Most JW's don't get it either. Thank goodness that a fair-minded, level-headed and moral " wordly " member of the " Superior Authorities " cares about children! Thank you Candice Conti, and thank-you legal team and jury! Everyone still trapped in the organization owes you a debt of gratitude, whether they realize it or not. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you Marvin for all your hard work as well, I enjoy your blog.

they will only get it when it hurts their pocket
Hopefully the end is near....for them.
if any of you can stomach it, i suggest checking out the thread on topix marvin started with the same title. it gives you a window into the mind of JW's and how they truly view child abuse victims. just a warning, its one of the most disturbing threads i have read in a long time.
Unfortunately it's other monsters who are running the WT organization and Jehovah's Witnesses - so the child abuser monsters and WT leader monsters are all in a co-dependent relationship with each other. Which victimizes even more family's with children. Disgusting
"they will only get it when it hurts their pocket"
Isn't that the sad truth? No amount of logic, reasoning, or human suffering can get them to change a policy. Only financial distress can get them to change.
@ 20571pnt..... Do you believe that the JW's were at one time chosen by YHWH? If so, why? The evidence against them ever being chosen in the first place is staggering. If all your writings are based on the premise of them being chosen and then infiltrated when they were never chosen to begin with, then nothing you have written and none of your theories can be correct. PM me if you want so we don't hi-jack this thread. Just curious....
