  Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  as an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.

  he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.

  he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

  WOW got to make this short. Yes I was involved in a case as new elder, committee meeting where this sister had come forward to admitting to committing adultery. Her husband sat in on the meeting. If fact this sister whom I known for over 20 years, had committed fornicationearlier, had a baby was disciplined then, Before I even thought about being an elder. Anyway these two brothers seemed to me had it out for this sister. These two elder had about 20yrs each of experience each. Me? about 3months. Finally at the end of the meeting she broke down crying and said she was molested as a teenager by her father, who by the way was a well respected elder in this city. I mean even I liked him. real good speaker father of four girls. But I always had in the back of my mind that something was little off. anyway these brothers of my knowledge did nothing. yes including me. They just concluded that she was lying. She was disfellowshipped. Later her father passed years later with that secret..................Here's the tragic part. Going back 20 some odd years my wife told me when I first met this brother( we were newlyweds at the time), she told me his daughter accused him of molesting her, (this was my wifes exact words and ill never forget it) tHE ELDERS new then but just handledit Yes I still live with that.

  Pedro Hines was the coolest slickest CO I knew. Young. Goodlooking slim. Good natured. Dressed To the tee. Had a goodlooking wife also, forgot her name. She could sing too. I mean R&B. Sorry to here he passed away not to long ago. NOW Did not like Dyson. THey used to call him slicing Dyson had a reputation for deleting bros. Very arrogant thought he was the shit. He told the sisters in a talk he gave to stay out his face when they talked to him. This man was worshiped because he was feared.

  I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video

  by pale.emperor in

  maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.

  this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.

  in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

  Really londo, i never really felt this religion. Iwas a born in to the sweetest mother. Father was never in. Made sure i'd go to hall though. I always had worldly friends. Always smoked my weed. Drank Even as a 10yrs old i silently questioned things. I was never fully indoctrinated but stayed in. mother still in she's 88yrs old still waiting to go around the corner. A brother and sister in. My mistake though was marrying young and to a woman in the so called truth. My wife of 38yrs still in indoctrinated. I basically did what i wanted. never was reproved or D'd. Never gave them that power. I had just as much friends in as i do out. Had a wonderful childhood growing up in the inner city. I often say to certain ones that if God forbid something happened to my wife I would never marry another JW again. Been a musician all of my life thats my outlet. More to come peace

  I remember back when as an elder we used to get new ones every year. Have them signed by a witness. they haven't done that in about ten years. Whats the deal with that. Also have they had any new information about this blood issue? You know this is really scary. I think they are more confused than I am. Not gonna play with my life like that. THEY WERE wrong about 1914,1975, beth serim lie, what makes them think they are right about this? NOT

  Mines was about, can you believe this??? Coming your hair. yes I said it. Combing your freaking hair. Then he added tight fitting dresses. Im like who are you talking about? Now im looking around the hall to see who hasn't

  combed their hair. That talk was a waste of time and insulted my intelligence. JUst stupid. SO after the talk (didn't wait for the meeting to be over) I asked this bro who aint combing their hair he Just laughed. What the hell? Not to mention that this Elder is about 150lbs overweight. total waste of time. By the way Im baldheaded. PEACE
