  The WTBTS's proactive steps at preventing child molestation.

  brobennett, you made this comment in another post:.

  breeding pedophiles are more common in other religions since they are kept in circulation and not taken out of the religion.

  by the way, brobennett, do you have kids?.

  BroBennett, I'll repeat my question, can the organization say as the Apostle Paul said, "I am clean from the blood of all men?" Did Paul and the Apostles hold back their words against apostasy? No way! If there was a prevalence of pedophilia practiced within the early congregations, do you think for one moment that Paul would have kept silent? Paul was very upset when he learned that "...fornication is reported among YOU, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, that a wife a certain man has of his father." 1 Cor.5 1-13. What did Paul say about the young man who had relations with his step-mother? "Remove the wicked man from your midst!" Can you imagine what he would have said if there were a prevalence of pedophilia? BroBennett, put your thinking cap on! As to proactive steps, my son was in a bubble. Were not Adam & Eve in a 'perfect' bubble? Shall we blame Jehovah for not protecting them? Guest77

  You can't describe real LOVE you can only decribe what it isn't.

  BroBennett, My oldest son (40) was molested at a tender age when my wife and I were on a trip. We don't know who molested him and he's never told us and neither did we press the issue,he prefers it that way. As a parent and grandparent you feel the hurt and ugliness of this act. My son was in a bubble, did it prevent him from being sexually abused?
  
  To give advice or suggestions from experience is far different than quoting sources such as the WT publications. I have often quoted Paul's words at Romans 2:21, "...do you, however the one teaching someone else not teach yourself?..."
  
  The questions posed by forum members deserve experienced answers not quotes. Can the org. say as the Apostle Paul said, "I am clean from the blood of all men?"

  Sorry to read about your lost Badboy. How interesting that a JW would say, 'your mom would in paradise because she was a CHRISTIAN!' The Creator is far more merciful than we know. Guest77

  Being a JW Woman - Was It Really That Bad?

  by eljefe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have seen quite a few posts from many ex-jw women about how unhappy they were about male domination in congregation.

  was it really that bad?

  when i was still a jw, no one ever told me anything to that effect.

  As a bro. I found sisters far more useful than brothers, enough said! As a foreman in the construction trade, I never had problems with female ironworkers. We had one girl that could walk the steel better then some men. Naturally, the male ironworkers did their usual complaining.

  No one knows the DAY or the HOUR - have we misread this verse?

  i was just thinking the other day, about what jesus said concerning the end of the system of things.

  he said that, "no one knows the day or the hour...but only the father.".

  there are two units of measurement - day and hour.

  That's the scripture I had in mind for the 1975 date, and as such, I wasn't disappointed when nothing earth shattering happened. Guest77

  Are you a JW Hater?

  by MelbaToast in

  2. friends

  reading a topic in here, i came across a conversation regarding jehovah approved(tm) sports.

  i noticed that two of the posters were insensed at the amount of ex-jws in this forum.. they started ignoring everyone else that had put their opinion in on the subject....and decided that everyone in this forum was a jw "hater".

  i myself take offence to that, for i don't hate the jw's.
