South American "Mayan" mob justice. Have you heard of it??

DATA-DOG

I have a close friend who has JW family in South America. Recently some criminals ran through their town. The locals routinely practice "Mayan justice" where the criminals are beaten or burned to death, depending on the crime.

The authorities try to stop it, but they are not always successful. Imagine Furgeson Missouri with no hope of the National Guard intervening.

I am wondering what would happen to JW Elders if all the Pedo scandals become public. We all know that most Eldubs have zero idea about what is going on, but that won't matter to a mob. I am seriously considering warning some of the JWs about all the Pedo cases going on. I shudder to think of JWs being thrown under the bus while the GB hide out at Warwick.

What do you think? If nothing else, it may be a sincere way to get some to discover TTATT.

this happened to a circuit overseer in a central American country. He was a real a-hole and a couple of publishers beat the crap out of him one night.

Some JW Special Pioneers and a Circuit Overseer faced some "Machete Justice" from the Maya in the 40s. The C.O. and Pioneer survived round one because the Pioneer carried a big revolver. Round 2 the Pioneer did not survive. That is one you won't read about in the yearbook.

I wish that all the current victims would be told to go straight to the police and medical facilities and if the 'suspect' is a JW, then they should tell the elders who will take action. Or something like that. It is not the elders job to be judge and jury of a CRIMINAL matter. They are supposedly moral guides. You can rat out your sister for heavy petting between two adults which is legal (and JWs do!), but they tiptoe around criminal abuse. It is nuts.

You know, the WT would not be "responsible" for any abuse if they did the right and decent thing from the get go. There would be no scandals-all groups have creeps and perverts. Not all groups feel compelled to pretend they are perfect havens of joy, truth and glorious happiness. It is the pretending that is costing them (and victims). That there are creepy JWs I can forgive-I had a creepy uncle. But his actions were not condoned or hidden. Which is why he is known as the creepy uncle. Creeps should not be allowed to hide their actions.

I thought the mayans were from Central not South America (Mexico, Guatelmala, Honduras etc.)
