Absolutely it is possible. The word pedophile entails sex with a child under the age of 13. There is another term for sex with a teenager, but the word escapes me right now. However, the words "child molester" entail sex with anyone under the age of 18.

Is it possible that a child molester is NOT a pedophile?
by sir82 ini realize many here have (unfortunately) much more experience with this sort of thing than i do.
any personal insight, or direction to research material, would be appreciated.. there was a letter to all boes about 8-10 years ago, saying that if an appointed elder had any incidents of child abuse in his history, he had to step forward & admit such, so that his status as an elder could be reviewed.
none of the elders in this congregation said anything.. it was later (maybe 5 years ago) discovered that one of the elders had sexually abused his daughters some time in the 80's, before his appointment.

Andrea Yates Murder Conviction is overturned...
by TresHappy inthe texas first court of appeals threw out today the capital murder conviction of clear lake mom andrea yates, who's serving a life sentence for drowning her children in a bathtub.
the three-member appeals court granted yates?
motion to have her conviction reversed because, among other things, the state?s expert psychiatric witness testified that yates had patterned her actions after a law & order television episode that never existed.

So what? Was she a JW? If not, then why am I wasting my time reading about something that has nothing to do with this forum?

The WTBTS's proactive steps at preventing child molestation.
by formerout inbrobennett, you made this comment in another post:.
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?.

Yes, it would. But mostly I want the pervs money. He has a lot stashed away, he even used to have stacks of $10,000 hidden around his property - lots and lots of stacks. But money from the WTBTS would be alright too.

I can't afford counseling, and of course the WTBTS is offering no assistance. It is sad that they were so unwilling to help me, and now that I have a lawsuit filed against them and the molester, ex elder A.W. "Red" Harriman of the Colfax California congregation, they want nothing to do with me. But at least they gave him assistance by reinstating him without any proof of repentance, even after he admitted to doing it!!!! I currently have 5 other people ready to testify that he did it to them too, and the elders still won't re-disfellowship him. And instead of just agreeing to help us victims out, the Governing Body would rather spend 8x as much defending itself in court. I thought that by coming back in I would be worthy of their love and support, but I was majorly mistaken. I forgot that only the molestor gets that.

Proactive? My ASS!!!! I was molested for four years by an elder and received NO HELP FROM THE WTBTS AT ALL!!!!! Of course, as soon as soon they had a chance to DF me later, they jumped on it in one day. I have now been reinstated for many years, and still have received no help at all. Their anwswer - READ THE BIBLE. And to that I say BULLSHIT! One of Jehovah's spirit anointed elders abused me, and I'm supposed to believe in the Bible now? What a joke! My lawsuit is going forward nicely, and I can't wait to see the WTBTS squirm in court.
