I never promised proof with this topic.
Then don't make assertions, if you aren't prepared to back them up.
But then, what am I saying? That's all you ever do.
Obviously, you know that you are lying. Get help.

I was not the one that assumed in this post. I made this post so that people could understand why the church is having trouble. But no one wants to watch them they want to be watching the Watchtower. Can you look at one side and not the other to find clearity?
Bleep,
We are well aware of the pedophilia troubles of the Catholic Church. We don't deny them, hide them, approve of them and we don't excuse them. Now, are you willing to admit that the same problems exist in Jws? Any clarity yet?
Hello again Bleep :o)
Any thoughts on my questions yet? I'd be very interested to hear your opinions?
But further to your latest posting, you have now said that: *I was not the one that assumed in this post. I made this post so that people could understand why the church is having trouble*.
I'm afraid Bleep that *assuming* is exactly what you have done in your original posting.
You have *assumed* that paedophilia is more of a problem in the Roman Catholic than in the WTBTS.
You have *assumed* that people who take a vow of celibacy or who do not marry are more likely to be/become paedophiles than those who don't.
You have *assumed* that people here are not concerned about paedophilia in the Roman Catholic Church or wherever else it occurs - schools, youth group, children's playcentre etc.
Rest assured that many of us understand that the Roman Catholic Church has serious problems and that certain individuals in authority have tried to *cover up* the problems. In so doing, they have dug a far bigger hole for themselves than would have existed had they come clean, *exposed and dealt with the problem* a long time ago, rather than waiting to be forced into doing something.
But it appears that the WTBTS has similar problems. There are cases of paedophilia within the organisation which have been handled at the direction of Headquarters - and have therefore been mis-handled. The WTBTS also has serious problems and certain individuals in authority have tried to *cover up* the problems. In so doing, they also have dug a far bigger hole for themselves than would have existed had they come clean, *exposed and dealt with the problem* a long time ago, rather than waiting to be forced into doing something.
Can you see any similarities between the 2 groups now?
Christian Observer says, "Rest assured that many of us understand that the Roman Catholic Church has serious problems and that certain individuals in authority have tried to *cover up* the problems."
That is not what this site is doing. They only want the Witnesses who are abused to call. They do not want to help anyone else.
Blep: This site is not called "Catholic Church Discussion", it is called JEHOVAH'S WITNESS discussion. There are other sites to discuss those topics on, here we focus on the problems that are apparent in the Tower.
But JWs would be the ONLY ones who are actively SEEKING pedophiles, by proclaiming, without shame, their policy.
'Come, my load is light' - 'We know you are trying to get over it. Afterall, we have smokers, too. So everybody has their sins. How could anyone have the nerve to point a finger at you? We won't punish you or report you. Just handle it the best you can. We know Jehovah will take care of everything and if he doesn't? Well, hey, there's always the new system. And there won't be anymore smokers, either!'
Bleep,
You are absolutely right.
The Catholic church is having it's guts ripped out over pedophilia in it's ranks. It is happening right now, and it is about time. This we can agree upon.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society also stands ready to be gutted due to policies that harbour pedophiles. This is also overdue and who gives a rat's ass if you are dismayed?
Pedophiles will go where they feel safe, and JW policy is an open invitation.
I know that it is hard for you to always see yourself as second to the Catholic church, (actually you are ninth or tenth) but in this matter, being busted for pedophilia, you are right up there with the guys with the big hats. Enjoy the limelight!

Bleep...the master of deflection and master circle jerker...He started with Pedophiles in the Catholic Church...bounced it into the topic of JW's being the true religion because they abstain from war and after a few other little diversions ....including a farewell address....stuck with it and got back to Pedophiles in the Catholic Church again....and Oh Yeah...never answered a single question.....Bravo!! Bleep,Blip,Bloop,Bleep

Catholics can call SNAP who understands the special needs of those molested by Catholic priests or others in their organization.
JWs (ex-JWs) can call Silentlambs who understand the special needs of those molested by JWs and spiritually abused by the elders who should have helped them.
JWs claim to be the only true religion. Just like God held the Israelites more accountable than the Gentile nations around them when they started roasting their children to same false gods the Gentiles did, so God holds the JWs more accountable. Bleep have you been paying attention during the study of the Isaiah book or have you been daydreaming?
