  The handling of child abuse allegations

  by Landy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there's a lot of criticism surrounding the jw's handling of chiild abuse within their ranks with a lot of it being well deserved.

  but i'm interested to know how people on here think child abuse allegations should be handled.

  there's a few scenarios below, the first couple are easy then it gets a bit more complex.

  Also I find it interesting that in all of Landy'so examples he used men who were under the age of 18 when it happened expect for one.

  In the real life in my congregation the child molesters were well over 18 when they raped the children who were between the ages of 5 to 8. Not the scenario that Landy presented in any of his examples.

  In my congregation these men were encouraged to take care of children. One who was a sexual psychopath accordingly to his PUBLIC court records and had raped his bio 5 year old daughter and served 10 years in prison held a baby shower at the hall all with the elders blessing. By the way the elders refused to even look at much less take the public records. I talked to the police in my town and they were disgusted with the elders, one police officer said he would come and met with the elders but the elders refused.

  Another child molester who raped a 8 year old child when he was a baptized JW age 40 + and served 8 year's in prison, than moved 300 miles away to my Hall so as to put his past hehind him, none of the elders told anyone of this man's past but instead allowed him to hold and take care of a mentally handicapped child alone, taking the child into the back room and outside alone. One elder told me he had to convince a foster mom that the child molester was indeed safe to be around children.

  Funny Landy never mentioned any of those kinds of scenarios.

  Again let's please not get into debates with RO and his buddy.

  This is just too important of a subject to let him and his buddy down play.

  This is such a horrible crime to let them derail it again. I just urge everyone to watch Trey Bundy's report on PBS, listen to reveal on NPR, and contact SNAP.

  II am so sorry GoneAOL. This is the point that Trey Bundy has been trying to bring home in his report on Revile from NPR.

  I know many on this board feel it's an uphill battle that has little chance of changing the WT policy, or as one poster so elegantly put it over the weekend, what is in the news today is paper for bird's to poop on tomorrow, only this poster uses swear words to drive home his point, you know the saying small mind's can't think of any other word's. He brought out that no one cares about the JW'S, it's not like the Catholic or Scouts.

  But see it is worse because JW's send their child molesters to people's home's unlike the Catholic's. Which point Trey Bundy brings out in his report.

  I know this poster went wild at me calling me all kinds of name's, mocking me, telling me I was crazy.

  But how many more stories like this do we have to hear before as this poster said, people quite using the articles for bird poop and say enough.

  i seem to remember many talks and articles in the past about repeating rumors.last night before going into the book study the conductor said something to the effect, "i heard a rumor and i don't know if it's true but the rumor is that in the future we will be using only;y videos at the door.".

  anyone else heard this "rumor"?.

  and whats up with repeating rumors from the platform?

  Why do you get upset about family shunning you?

  by mr_doubtful in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i understand people love their family but i also don't understand why you end up caring in the end.

  i'm ready to leave and i 100% don't expecting my family to have any contact with me nor do i want them to contact me.

  if they are going to chose a man made religion over me, that's their choice and i will sleep easy at night.

  All time Jeff

  I am so glad you are back. I love the way you put things. What you just said is exactly how I feel. It just really makes me sad that the religion has such an impact on people that they would shut the door on their children, parent's, etc.

  All thoes lost year's of being together as a family will be gone never to be able to be replaced.

  It's just really sad. All we can do is live a good life and hopefully they will wake up before it's too late.

  Some powerful stuff against the WT

  by Giordano in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in another thread a poster has been in a pitched fight with others about the results from the arc.

  trying to explain away the results and minimizing the damages.

  what he has failed to understand is that the society had and still does have certain policies in place that hide the sexual abuse of minors.

  Let's please not debate RO. I know he gets to everyone, but that's his goal.

  He has train wrecked, derailed, and caused page after page of debate. I know as I have fallen for it. He has a buddy on this board and the 2 of them have made page after page after page, of debates, where he just talk's in circles.

  I am not faulting anyone I am pointing the finger at myself. I did it I helped to derail 3 threads with RO and his buddy.

  This subject of child abouse in the JW'S is to important to let it keep happening.

  Vidot and Giordano have done to great of job on this thread to let RO ruin it also.
