by Golf in

this time frame can have a very crucial impact on the jw org.

and their mishandling the pedophile problem.

Well it sure is going to be interesting to watch. I am a little bit surprised that the prosecution started their witness list with the children. So far it's been determined that all three kids at some point... lied (whether it be this case or other cases involving their family).

I think if you are trying to prove that somebody is a creepy child molesting monster.... it's going to be a tough road when your first two witnesses got "beat up" in cross examination. As of now the jury has in their minds that these kids have lied (and very well could be lying now).

It would have been smarter in my humble opinion... to build up a case with others (family, friends, acquaintances, employees). Those people can help build up the "strange behavior" with children situations... and then have the child and/or his siblings come at a later point in the trail with what happened to them.

We shall see what happens. My poor husband is now subjected to the daily re-enactment on E! it's on every day (1/2 hour show at 7:30PM) They re-enact with actors (witnesses testimony)... and then legal commentators rehash the day and comment on things shown in the re-enactment. It's pretty cheesey... and I can't believe the guy they have playing MJ. LOL!! But I am watching it daily (the commentators are from news shows and Court TV and high profile lawyers)

I so wish the trial was on Court TV or network TV (like OJ's was!) Oh well... I get to watch the cheesy re-enactment instead. LOL!!

The Devil Inside by Billy Idol

Wasn't this an INXS tune?

I liked that song... but probably wouldn't have played it at a JW "get together" (I mean party). Haha! Funny how they don't listen to the full context of the entire song (ALL of the lyrics).

Ah yes that bad 80's hair band... Def Zepplin... they were definitely filled with demonic influences. (I loved them).

Music has always been a thing for me... it was my escape from my "upbrining". I have been fortunate to be able replenish my old collection of favorites again. When it became public that Prince was now a JW... I called up my (current JW) Dad and asked him if he would give me back my 1984 album. He didn't find it very funny at all. I on the other hand was laughing hysterically. LOLOLOL!!

why dont KH have windows?

by Buck in

jw
friends

is this to save money?

thats the only reason i can think of.

kellex

If you notice, most churches do NOT have windows, not only JW Kingdom Halls. Don't know what the reason is... but it was something that I noticed (after it was brought up on another ex-JW message board).

Neither to dance clubs and local bars! LOL

I don't post much, but this whole topic is pretty interesting to me. I was talking with members of another ex-jw board about this same topic. VH-1 did the special on Jackson's childhood... and Bill Bowen from SilentLambs was interviewed. Spoke a lot about the JW religion's beliefs and the cover up of abuse in the JW religion. He was interviewd as a "JW former elder"

The VH-1 Message Board was crawling with JW's who were appauled at what the show said about their religion. Ex-JW's were replying with their own stories of abuse and what the JW org. DID NOT do to help them.

This was all very thought provoking for me (and I seem to be a little on the obsessed side about this case). LOL!!

I don't think the defense would be smart to bring up JW's (and/or known cover ups of abuse). This would be in essence admitting guilt.. with a possible explanation as to why MJ turned into a pedophile. Their whole goal has been to clear MJ's name as an abuser completely.

It would not seem ethnical for Bowen to be a defense witness. As his mission is to protect children of abuse (he'd be questioned by the defense team for somebody on trial for abuse). I found it a little odd that he participated in that documentary. In essence between what he said (and what other psychologists and therapists who were interviewed) stated... IF MJ is a pedophile (there may be a logical explanation for why he turned into a creepy child molester). None of those interviewed really came out and said that they think MJ is or isn't... but certainly did imply that his upbrining and current state of apparent mental instability (as often portrayed by the media) would explain it all.

I need to hear more evidence that is presented, before I come to a final conclusion. As of right now, I am finding it hard to believe that MJ would give it all up to get his kicks off little kids. And if he is a mentally instable person who turned into a pedophile... you'd think everybody would have figured that out... well before now (his history with spending time with children, spans back to when he was still residing with his parents). A lot of the time line doesn't add up to me (with this particular child). A lot of the other evidence (risque or pornographic literature in his home and apparently showed to the boys)... is purely speculation at this point. There are a number of ways (if in fact the boys did see this stuff)... that they could have gotten their hands on it. Not ONLY that MJ sat with them and showed it to them like a bed time story. Ya know?

We'll see how it all plays out and it all will definitely be interesting to keep tabs on!!
