Simon

Another sad story of their cover up and lack of care:

I hope everyone gets to see that face and associates it in their mind with JWs and their house-to-house ministry. And if he shows up going door-to-door, I hope someone calls the police on him and has him arrested.

Love, Scully

Thanks Simon. It's always good to have current info about these problems in the WTS. Pity that most of the R&F will accept that it's Satan who's behind all this..............which will automatically make them minimise the severity of this problem in the borg. I'm just glad I'm out and I hope that eventually the dubs won't be allowed to go door to door. I pray that those poor little, trusting kids that are being dragged to all the meetings and forced to associate with pedos, that they may be safe and strong.

cheers,

bliss.

Look at him, walking in their with his NWT. Sick asdl;kgjawe;oithkaw;ldkfnm (substituted for angry words I really want to say). Replace his name with my father's and you'd have almost the exact same story. Except my father isn't in jail.

Here's another one Paedophile escapes jail
Thomas Maxwell Maxwell's name was added the sex offenders' list A sheriff's decision not to jail a 60-year-old paedophile has provoked a public outcry on the island of Harris where the man is now living.

Thomas Maxwell, a Jehovah's Witness for more than 30 years, was sentenced to three years probation and 240 hours community service for sex offences against a 12-year-old.

His name will also be added to the sex offenders' register.

At Alloa Sheriff Court, Sheriff William Reid said his decision not to impose a prison sentence had been influenced by Maxwell's voluntary exile to a remote part of the Western Isles.

But the residents of Leverburgh in Harris where Maxwell is now living are outraged.

'Thoroughly nasty'

Community council secretary John Mitchell said people would be horrified and that children on the island needed protection from Maxwell.

Maxwell could be expelled from the Jehovah Witnesses

But Sheriff Reid, who described the offences against the girl as "thoroughly nasty", said: "If I were to send you to prison the maximum period you could spend there would be three months, and then you would be released back into the community without any supervision whatsoever.

"I doubt whether such a short period of imprisonment would benefit you or society as a whole.

"It is better for the community that you be kept under prolonged supervision.

"I also take into account that you have voluntarily exiled yourself to some remote part of the Western Isles."

'Animal'

Maxwell was living in Woodlea Park, Sauchie, near Alloa, at the time of the offences.

He was found guilty at Alloa Sheriff Court in June on two counts of behaving with shameless indecency.

His victim, now 17, broke down in loud sobs as the sentence was read out. She shouted "animal" as Maxwell was led quickly from the dock.

As he left the building, members of the Alloa congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses shouted "pervert".

Robert Millan, a church elder, said Maxwell would be summoned before the church's judicial committee and could be dismissed from the movement.

The girl's father said: "This man betrayed our trust and ruined our family life.

'Huge personal loss'

"He should be disfellowshiped and no longer regarded as a brother in the Christian congregation until such time as he shows true repentance, and I don't think he's very likely to do that."

Defence lawyer, April Campbell, said Maxwell had suffered "huge personal loss" as a result of the case.

She said: "His life has been irrevocably shattered. His marriage has broken down, he has been rejected by his family, and he has been rejected by the congregation of the church of which he was a member for 30 or so years.

"He has suffered severe psychological difficulties and depression and it is inconceivable that he should find himself in a position to re-offend."

Miss Campbell added: "He feels a great and terrible shame and recognises the possibility of psychological harm to his victim."

Elsewhere

She said: "His life has been irrevocably shattered. His marriage has broken down, he has been rejected by his family, and he has been rejected by the congregation of the church of which he was a member for 30 or so years.

What is sad is many of us have experienced this because we simply left the faith. Am I really as bad as a pedophile?

(Sorry I don't mean to remove the focus from the serious matter of molestation and the related cover-ups.)

Let me point out also from Simon's and Gizmo's posts. There is also inconsistency and double standards in the BORGanization: In Simon's post, it shows if perp or perv is an elder, he can get away within the congregation. In Gizmo's, it shows the opposite, who knows? I guess the perv in Gizmo's post may be or may not be an elder.

What a hypocritical double standard from "God's Organization on Earth"!!!!

What happens to an offender depends greatly on the local congregation. Some congregations are more "isolationist" (afraid of the world and will not contact authorities) than others.

There is also the "good-ol-boy" factor.... "Awww, Bruther Bubba would never do sumethin' like that..." This leads to the persecution of the victim despite a mountain of evidence against the perpetrator.

Xena

Elsewhere is right about the "good ole boy" syndrome...probably a lot of it depends on how popular the man was in the cong.....

Interesting how they bring out how "shattered" the perps life is now...perhaps that will cause others to think twice before they molest innocent children...but regardless they made the decision and now they have to deal with the consequences...no pity for them from me!

Hope this helps more and more people see what a secretive cult like religion the JW's really are!

At least the local dubs felt betrayed by him also. [Some of them anyway]
