  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?.

  Lets just say this is rule #1

  If the head of the household does the crime... it is still a crime, that is a whole other matter but still child abuse, it is true that most times the child abuse happens in the family or relatives. But that is why a proactive aproach is needed and that the family is able to show the children right and wrong. The right way to deal with the matter would be going to the authorities like I have written down to stop the crime in its tracks and then the criminal can be reported and dealt with in a timely matter.

  With what I have read so far...The Watchtower Society does tell us to report relatives or family and even if they go to jail then that is what they diserve.

  Whoever is in charge of the family would have to be willing to care for the needs of the family first and foremost.

  As humble bible students we all know how hard it is to keep our families safe in a currupt world we live in. It is never my intention to keep any wrongdoing a secret, we all need to go to someone who will provide protection and the elders should not feel that they can provide all the protection a family needs since we live in a violent society with control issues.

  But know this, I am not going to ever tell a family what to do even if I was an elder in a religious orginization. The wise person gets results, and to get results in dealing with others we must avoid harshness and strife. It is part of human nature to resent pressures, because God planted in our hearts a love of freedom. Because of principles we may at times need to be firm and unyielding, but never do we need to be harsh, domineering, [coercive], as though we would ram the facts down the throats of those we are trying to teach. I am sure there were some Elders in the wrong since they are only human, but it does not give them an excuse to dismiss wrongdoing. And yes, I did go back to the subject since that is why I am posting, and in that frame of mind, I gave information out about what the Society (which publishes and prints out the information) gave out to help those who wanted protection. But of course all who post have gone past the need for such information since the damage has been done.

  So I am sorry for using too much Watchtower information and I no longer think I have all the information needed since I am not the greatest teacher of the bible, maybe someday I can be, the subject of child abuse will never be an easy topic to discuss and it should be kept in the family, the leader of man would be Jesus Christ, and not an elder right?

  I agree with full disclosure of pedophiles in the area and I am sure there are updated sites people can go to to view criminals in the area?

  Thanks for being so prompt Jwbloodline, but I still feel it would be wrong in the eyes of Jehovah to come close to hurting another person, even if they can tap out there is still a chance to be injured. But of course it is up to the individual to decide after much consideration on the matter of sports.

  It is best to the turn to scriptures for advice on self defence sports, I went to a scripture regarding the need to stay meek and I included another bible students view with the boxing sport and he included very good bible information and is working toward a full dedication to God.

  JESUS Christ, the greatest man that ever lived, encouraged meekness by both precept and example. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth," said he, and he urged others, "Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart."

  So let me explain further why I used the scripture.

  The heart is the place where your important qualities are made manifest in such traits as mildness, patience, and reasonableness. So humility is defined in terms of selflessness and is an essential root of all wisdom.

  In a 1958 Watchtower titled: Blessed are the meek, it writes,

  Then what does it mean to be meek? It has been said that a meek person is a teachable one. True, one who is meek is willing to be taught, but meekness includes far more than that. Bearing this out are the definitions given for "meek": "gentle or mild of temper; self-controlled and gentle; not easily provoked or irritated; forbearing under injury or annoyance." In modern Bible translations the terms "mild" and "gentle" frequently replace the term "meek" found in older versions. No question about Jesus? being meek. And another notable example of meekness found in the Scriptures is that of Moses, whom God?s holy spirit inspired to write: "The man Moses was by far the meekest of all the men who were upon the surface of the ground."?Num. 12:3.

  So as long as those qualities are still kept strong... having self control and reasonableness, then I am sure it can give you an idea of what kinds of sports are right to take part of.

  Would the sport involve a choke hold? If so you may want to look up the scripture that Mr.Vanzie took to heart in his letter to me. Just like a boxer can knock out another boxer, a choke hold could have long lasting damage.

  I am guessing that is why it is considered a self defence sport, since the choke hold would be a weapon of choice.

  Specific techniques taught are designed either to improve one's position (for example, to "pass the guard", by going from being "in the guard" to getting around the opponent's legs, resulting in side control); or else as a finishing submissions. Most submissions are either chokes (cutting off the blood supply to the brain) or arm locks (hyperextending the elbow, or twisting the shoulder). http://bjj.org/rma-faq.html

  No doubt that is where my quote is from... that is why I posted them all here for you to read. Where do you see the twists? Jesus Christ showed us all how to evade evil men is that not true? If a government asked you to go kill another man would you do so? If you had the wrong government under dictatorship rule like Hitler would you obey men rather than God? Where is the twist you speek about kind sir?

  avishai,

  I am sure you have every right to post when you get the chance, I was just saying that the topic should be used for good, and not propaganda that the Silent Lambs Crew can use.

  Formerout dude,

  I am calling your subject a big bag of nothing since most of the posters are all ExJW's... or against JW's. They should not be posting... only the WTBTS should since they are the only ones that can give those important steps to (everyone) in the family.

  You sound very much like the pedophile who blames the child for his own act of rape.

  Very bad indeed accusing me of even sounding like a pedophile, such persecution!

  But thats okay, I am used to that...

  "All those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted."?2 Tim. 3:12.

  Big bad Tex,

  In no way am I keeping silent with child molestation sir, and I am not in an evil Sect or whatever else my religion used to be called. I gave out my personal experience as well as my Bible based knowledge on child abuse prevention. My post on a bag of nothing was for the topic starter since the quote was in fact his not my own quote.

  Here is a scripture for you, no need to thank me:

  When evil men are seeking to do injury to a Christian or some of his brothers or to God?s organization and they come trying to pry into private affairs, is it necessary for a Christian to answer such evil men? What can be done for self-preservation or the protection of Christians particularly in times of difficulty or persecution? If you know an evil man is trying to inflict harm on a brother and he asks you where the brother may be found, it is not necessary to answer. Jesus often countered questions with other questions, which put his opponents in a bad light. It shows, too, how one can properly be evasive with evil men. (Matt. 15:1-6; 21:23-27; 22:15-21)

  Great big bag of nothing huh?

  For now it will be in the "Child Abuse" area of the forum. I hope you can convince me that it should be changed to "Friends" or "Family" section. I really, really do hope you can convince me that a change is deserved.

  Where else would it belong? Would it belong in that big bag of nothing... or would all in the family be able to know how to prevent child molestation..
