  Hi guys and girls. I sent my DFed sis a thread from the board here that was a pedophile topic and she replied back with stories of her own.

  Makes you wonder how much of this goes on that we never here about!

  Here is what she wrote:

  "Thanks Lar,
  I love what Farkel say's which is the meat of the story on Pedephiles.We experienced 2 seperate instances ourseleves in 2 different congregations with this crap. It was not given over to the police, it was handled and covered over by the elder's. In fact the elder that studied with Lar and I had to step down because he went to the police because they wouldn't. Alot more to this story of course, but he was only trying to protect other little girls. This guy, Bill found out had been in prison 2 previous times and was on probation for molesting teenage girls. The previos congregation new about it to before he came to ours in Mesa.

  So therefore he got to molest at least 2 that we knew of in our congregation. Then there was another case here in Chino, and the guuy moved on to another congregation back east.

  It makes me sick that they have no accountability to another human being because it might bring reproach to Jehovah's organization. SHAME ON THEM!!!

  I also like the guy called sleepy. Boy he brings the points home that the other guys were not facing or forgot about. The discrepencies, the judging, the false prophecies, the controlling, and so on and so on. It was great. That's what the general poppulation never understands about them. It goes so much deeper than whether their problems are the same as another religion. It's there inability to be able think for themselves.

  This pedophile crap gets me riled, can you tell"? LOL

  Love ya me

  Quite a few years ago there was a "brother" in our cong. that was molesting his step-daughter. She was about 11 years old.

  Someone (I don't know who) reported it to the police and that's how it got out. The elders publicly reproved him and took away some of his priviledges for a while - that's all. At the same time, I was df'd because I slept with my boyfriend and they didn't consider me repentant.

  What really bothered me is that his wife got in trouble because she raised a fuss about him and refused to reconcile with him.

  At the same time all of this was going on, my JW friend at the time had a husband who we found out was abusing her little girl. He went to prison for a couple of years and part of the sentence was that he was to have no contact with the victim ever again. Well, her mother moved with the 2 kids to be closer to the prison (can you believe that?!!) - when he got out she let him move back in and he abused her daughter AGAIN!! The second time he was put away for 11 years. And to top it off - she was still a JW and shunned me because I had been DF'd for fornication. Not that I cared - I wouldn't have her as a friend any longer anyways. Anyone who doesn't protect their children is *&!! in my book!

  I would encourage all who know these stories to direct the victims to the silentlambs website and put up their stories. We believe them and it lets others know they are not alone.

  hello gumby,

  Please tell your sister hello - and there are a lot of pedophiles & victims. But usually the victims are the only ones willing to talk, but only a few of them will actually talk in public.

  But the more it's talked about - the more victims come forward - and the more pressure which will eventually exert itself on religious organizations to make changes in how they do business.

  I believe it's in Boston where local Catholics & businesses are turning off grants & donations to the church. Hurts a lot of people, but it just might force the Catholic hierarchy to change their way of doing business.....so they can keep on doing business.

  Jw's aren't to that point yet - so bad publicity is about the only business tactic which seems useful at the moment.

  "Advertise, advertise, advertise."
