  Toe-

  Thanks for taking the time to write what i wouldn't take the time to write...

  Ticker-

  I'm a lawyer. I am logical by nature, and attached by training and personal preference to empirical evidence.

  My experience with communication from/with God has been personal, direct, real, emphatic.... and something i can't 'prove' by the rules of evidence.

  That said, God speaks to me regularly. The communication is real, and consists of dialogue, not monologue.

  How can i 'prove' it's God? What to say? I know that i know that i know.

  How can i 'prove' i love my daughter? I can point to external indicators like care, provision, indications of emotion (tears etc), and words indicating love (from me to her or another), but does that quantify or prove the existance of my love?

  Here are some indicators, in my dialogue with God, that are common 'themes', if you will:

  He NEVER shames me, but often tells me to look again at my words/behavior.

  He seldom speaks something i would come up with on my own.

  He OFTEN tells me things I'm not getting, may not even WANT to hear, but need to hear.

  He speaks with parental affection.

  He understands me in a deep sense, encourages me, and gives me His perspective.

  He often initiates the conversation.

  He convicts me in a loving, creative way that is tailored to ME.

  He has a great sense of humor... :)

  Hope this speaks to you-

  do you wonder what is happening with the legal system?

  duncan, 42, had an outstanding warrant for failing to register as a high-risk sex offender and was facing charges of molesting a 6-year-old boy in minnesota.

  he had been released on bail in april, just weeks before the children disappeared.

  Problems:

  Few parents report, unless the molest results in obvious physical injury or death

  Few children make good witnesses in a criminal trial, as they are traumatized and scared

  Few prosecutors retain human warmth toward the victims of such crimes, because they've seen so many and can't emotionally invest in each case

  Few families report family members who molest

  Few lawmakers are passionate about higher sentencing guidelines for repeat offenders

  Few perpetrators are 'healed' or 'cured' of sexual deviancy; recidivism is extremely high

  Few survivors reach adulthood and are then able to pursue justice, as applicable Statutes of Limitation have run...

  i have spoken with over 1800 since July of 2003... :(

  If you know of victims who are willing to talk, they may be valuable fact witnesses in ongoing litigation against WTS.

  What a bunch of idiots!

  by toladest in

  i was thinking about some of the crap i went through with the elders during one of the hardest times of my life.

  i was seeking help from the elders and had told them that i had been sexually abused as a child.

  i was very upset that my father-in-law, who was an elder and po, had abused so many children and yet the elders in his hall and at the wts did nothing about it.

  i just saw the dateline piece.

  i have been trying to avoid watching it because i already knew how hard proof of the allegations is to come by, and knew just as well what kinds of emotions it would bring up in me.. .

  if any jw has not seen it, try to find a copy to view.

  I have received some anonymous calls concerning this perpetrator.

  If you have information you are willing to share, but don't want to involve yourself (for any reason), please contact me by email or telephone.

  I will pass the information on to relevant criminal law enforcement.

  You don't have to be involved... but PLEASE pass what you know...

  Even seemingly small detail could be important...
