  I don't know anything about it but I do know that there a quite a few that should be removed. They are doing more damage to people than good.

  How Far Apart Were Your Legs?

  by Joe Grundy in

  several threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.

  fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.

  a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

  One of our children asked us the other day if we thought things in the borg would ever change.

  My answer was: "As long as Men are in judgement in others lives, things would never change."

  Some of the Elders are really sick individuals. I think the Elders who are really disturbed by the actions of some of these sickos are the ones who step down and leave.

  Once the new resort @ Warwick opens up they will lock that thing up tighter than a drum! Then they will send all the little workers they "used" back to the "field."

  Whatever Happened to the Remnant?

  back in the 50's, when i was just a skinny kid, my father became po of a new congregation.

  he'd only been baptised for around 4 years, so his rise was quite remarkable.just one of his flock in the new cachement area was of the "remnant".

  this lady was well into her 60's, childless but married.

  We were told as children, "never question peoples claim that they were of the annointed." Now they are calling ones mentally diseased if they claim to be of this class. Trying to figure these things out just makes my head hurt.

  earlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.

  a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.

  he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.

  Typical brain dead Jw. "Not my problem." They think if they stick their hear further in the sand it will go away. We see it in our family, as most here do. So frustrating!

  Great post Barbara. Thank you . I just listened to it and it is informative but sad to hear of all the lives affected by child abuse. Just one of the many reasons why we are no longer part of the JW's. We appreciate all of your hard work!

  It just goes to show how far gone these ones are. It truly is shocking but we are finding that not too much shocks us anymore.
