it is a brief article. About nothing, really. They call them Satan Witnesses because they don't celebrate birthdays or holidays. It says they idolate from society, bla bla. A cult. This is the kind of bogus paper we see at supermarket counters

Inside the newspaper ther is a 2 page article about childabuse and the Jehovahs Witness, and its very well written.

To the contrary, it is so badly written and so full of harsh language and so overexaggerated, that even the support group for previous JWs in Denmark are going to write a letter to the editor protesting against the article. It seems, they say, that it is a kind of letter to the editor which has been blown out of all proportions, and that it is clearly not written by a journalist. JWs are called mentally retarded, one is asked to smash their windows, and in today's newspaper, it is reported that children are offered/presented by their fathers to the other male members of the cult, and gangraped. Really the sort of articles which only can be used as a counterattack on the accusers, because they are too stupid. As the leader of the support groups states, that is so much to be regretted, because there is a story underlying it all, but it is drowned in foul language and exagerrations.

To the old hippie
NO NO!!
The article wrote by the newspaper was a little harsh, but the real article about a young women, was well written.
Here is the article wrote by the newspaper, and its not so good translait, sorry, and its not the article with the young women.
Satanic Witnesses
They Call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses, and you might recognize them,
as they stand at your front door, or seeing them on the street corner as
they distribute their magazines the Watchtower on a Saturday morning.
While there are other religions that have more members, although there's
20.000 members in Denmark, they separate that is to say preferably
isolate themselves from other people. Their own children are expected to
follow guidelines that are very strict including the non celebration of
Christmas or Birthdays. Intelligent youth frequently cut short their
education or seek higher education to become more involved with church
activities and seek employment in janitorial or self employed vocations
where their no risk to be influenced from non believers that they might
be employed with otherwise. The rules of the organization also used by
elders is known to fragment families of those that might commit what the
church classifies as a sin. It is a totalitarian mentality that cannot
be questioned. Children are often split from non believing relatives by
the threat about bad association from Satan's World from directives
offered by the home office that the members are required to have blind
trust in. If the organization is questioned member have the threat of
losing everlasting life or salvation as well as loss of all friends and
family in the religion by shunning. The local organization gains all
directives from a home office in the USA that is called the channel of
God on earth as they interpret the Bible.
An atmosphere of complete submission is created within the religion in
which every aspect of a member's life is controlled by the elders in the
congregation. The are not allowed the think for themselves which on the
surface might seem fine when responding to typical religious authority.
This also maybe fine in day to day life but when trouble arises that
relates to crime it can cause the matter to not be reported to proper
authorities.
However due to recent allegations this time it is to the contrary: The
Jehovah's Witnesses appear to have a messy problem that needs to be
cleaned up. In articles from today's paper, various children have come
forward to say the cover up of sexual abuse and injustice in local
congregations when abuse allegations are covered up in secrecy.
A young women courageous reveal that dirty life hidden inside the faith speakes for , the police begins that
interest themselves by the condition to this atmosphere , where that
straight is a ordensforskrift , that know about sexabuse shall past ,
unless the encroachment is all topical. It is NO just sick. It is
illegally. Precisely misuse from kids we all have the duty to report. It is
illegal to be silence about. It is about time , that Member of Jehovahs Witness or X members
conquers their fear and come forth by their know about , what
there happens in that spiritual prison , that by much correct can be
called Satanic Witnesses. -

Old Hippie,
Your summary and Nordic's translation seem quite at odds with one another. Would you like to take a shot at translating? Has Nordic sugar-coated the article in the translation?
Enquiring minds want to know...
