  Jehovah's Witnesses, Child Abuse and Love

  by Big Tex in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in reading thirdwitness of late, i am reminded now how painful it was to deal with that level of cold, harsh denial.

  for those innocents hurt by this strange, mean little sect i submit ...

  october 8, 1993 awake: tragically, adult society often unwittingly collaborates with child abusers.

  I like to say "Jehovah is bringing it out" in the context of abuse litigation...

  Just kinda makes me happy to reverse the rhetoric...

  The most critical question about the JW and pedophilia?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  when looking at the jw pedophilia problem it is important to make the distinction between "theocratic" and secular authorities.

  as we all know, the jw consider only their authority to be legitimate and secular authorities as a necessary evil to be "rendered unto".. here is my summary of the pedophilia problem in the organization:.

  1. a person accused of pedophilia by a child cannot be found guilty within the org without another witness.. .

  There is so much 'in error' on this link, it's hard to know where to start.

  Most of what is written there is or has been disproven, legally.

  Notice none of the CURRENT cases or CURRENT rulings are addressed there?

  WHAT a co-inky-dink.

  yesterday, my brother and his son were in town visiting.

  me and the wife decided to go out and get some pizza to bring back for supper.. when we pulled up to the pizza shop, a guy came up to the car window and gave us his sob story about how he had cancer removed, how he refused to stay in the homeless shelter, and presented a stack of papers stapled together along with his mb health card.

  he asked for any change that we may have.

  I work downtown in a pretty large city.

  I get approached a lot. (from homeless etc)

  My solution: i bought coupons from a downtown burger joint, within walking distance, and i give them to each one who asks.

  I don't know each one's circumstances, but i can afford to buy a burger for someone who says he's hungry...

  i have been attempting to retrieve any news articles surrounding the recent court decision to no avail.

  can anyone provide a link?

  i had a conversation with an elder yesterday who seemed extremely shocked that jehovah did not grant the watcthtower a victory, actually he found it hard to believe.

  I am not aware of an article, but i will ask my staff if anyone has received/seen one....

  The press, in general, are not aware/ do not understand the significance of this ruling. (imo)
