  Women say Jehovah's Witnesses downplay sex abuse
  http://www.tennessean.com/local/archives/02/05/17601862.shtml?Element_ID=17601862

  Two Middle Tennessee women said they have a full understanding of a Tullahoma woman's claim that the Jehovah's Witnesses organization has downplayed or ignored child sexual abuse for years.

  ''In fact, nothing happened to the man who molested me,'' said Melissa Trice, 30, of Spring Hill, about an incident she says occurred in Shelbyville 22 years ago.

  ''One of the elders asked me, 'What were you wearing?' like I had provoked it. I will never forget that. I was 8 years old, for God's sake.''

  Thank you Randy for posting this.

  I hope more cases come to the attention of the public and get published in newspapers. Maybe, just maybe people will see the jws for what they really are.

  Thanks Randy for the article.

  Another nightmare of a story. It hurts my heart to hear what these two women have had to go through since childhood and I'm outtraged that the unamed woman's parents don't speak to her! She says they don't understand... What's to understand for crying out loud!!

  Hello your child was molested by another JW and nothing was done about it, of course she doesn't want anything to do with the dog-on religion!!

  How long will this continue I ask... How many more young children will have to suffer this way??????

  Unlike you, I'm not interested in 8 years old girls.

  Ah, yes, Fred. That's an Elder's domain, isn't it? So sorry.
