  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?.

  I can see what you are saying now, it is not a good idea to be babes to badness since there must be a way to tell if a sin is bad or not in the first place.

  Well what can one Jehovah's Witness do about changing the whole two witness rule along with the head of the family rule? Even with the rule changed what can prevent a child abuse case from starting since this type of sin is liked to a disease? Doesn't it all come down to who you trust? And when a child abuser is caught why not make an example of them and send them all to a brainwash clinic so it can break the cycle?

  That's not something I would of done, forgiving a person for a sin too gross to even talk about. It is a shame people stoop to that level and I think the molester should of been given time to think about it, in jail with some even sicker inmates. Really, it should of been a jail term for the guy but since the crime is likened to a disease, I would hope for some kind of brainwashing clinic on the way out of the jail cell.

  Is this the main reason for child abuse???

  Research clearly shows that fatherlessness increases the risk of child sexual abuse. One study revealed that out of 52,000 cases of child abuse, "72 percent involved children living in a household without one or both biological parents." The book Fatherless America asserts: "The escalating risk of childhood sexual abuse in our society stems primarily from the growing absence of married fathers and the growing presence of stepfathers, boyfriends, and other unrelated or transient males."

  Well thats what the Bible says:

  "Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith."?1 Tim. 5:8.

  Kind of like providing materials to the household, this scripture was shown to me by a bible student boxer friend of mine and the main reason he still boxes.

  Here is some proof that I am not always right:

  I said this early today on this thred:

  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 don't have all the answers that are being asked left and right, all that I set out to do was post the proactive steps, which I have done that the WTBTS has provided. So I have accomplished my goal.

  Rule #2

  If a family leader abused or did not act upon the security of his child then he would have to answer to Jesus Christ.

  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.
