Hey GBL...................nice avatar........I did not realise how good looking you were!!!!
silentlambs has alerted us to this special month in making people aware of this issue.
april is child abuse awareness month!
suggestions on what we might do to raise abuse awareness in our local communities
My daughter is a very beautiful, outgoing 17yr old teenager.
We lived in apts last summer with a pool. She was at the pool one day and a brother from our KH was there with his 3 sons. He is about 38, divorced and DF. My daughter does not know that he is DF. Although she is not baptised she would respect and be cautious with a DF person. He talks and talks to her for a long time. She talks with him being respectful, brother from the hall, older brother. It was awkward, but by the time the conversation ended he had her cell phone number.
He called her many times and invited her to go to his apt when he was in town, and invited her to go to a bar. She said........Do you have any idea how old I am? my mother would never let me go there. Anyway, she was late coming home (about an hour) and I had her cell phone. I went through the recent calls and called his number not knowing it was him, thats how I found this all out. btw. she was not with him..........but he was the last call on the phone.
Anyway, to make a long story short. My daughter fineally told me about what was going on. Some days he would call like 8 times a day leaving messages. She was just trying to deal with herself.
I told a friend of mine at the hall. This is when I found out why he was DF. For recently molesting a teenager from our KH. I was furoius that I never knew. BUT, the clencher was, the DF son is an elders son at my hall, and he(the elder) knew he was calling my daughter. Now, why would he not alert me what was going on for the safety of my daughter? knowing this about his son??? His son told him that my daughter was calling him. HELLO!!!! either way......I should have been alerted.
The son did again try to call my daughter and was threatened that if he ever called again the police would be involved.
I talked to another elder about this and he warned us to be careful when we answered the door, that he felt this man had tendencies towards being that forceful. He asked me to confront the elder of the DF son, but I never did. I wondered why the elder would not take care of it himself.
We have moved, have not changed congos.......My daughter only went to two meetings after the incident. I never made her go back. I was putting alot of things together by then about the org.
There is a time when the privacy of what a person is DF for I respect, but when it is for something that endangers someone in this way I feel it should have been public. No one that commits a crime in the world gets this done privately.
This man is a predetor and now that I am typing this out I am mad I never reported it to the authorities.
I share this only to raise awareness. Keep an open communication with your children and do not make them feel as they have done anything wrong. This could have ended very differently.
The girl he molested from the hall is an elders niece. I do not know if anything was done to alert the authorities. The more I type this the more I see how screwed up the whole thing is.
sorry for going on.

Blondie,
I know there is a child abuse situation going on in my hall right now. It is between two children. There does not seem to be any coverup. The family of the abused child has moved to another congregation. I am not sure what or if any litigation is going on. I spoke to the Grandmother last week and urged the family to do something. I did tell her that there was alot of information on the internet about child abuse coverup and that they would want to handle it right. I don't think they really know what to do.
Any suggestions?

as a dub i was always taught that the reason j couldn't deal with us directly was because he was so holy and we were so not holy, that he couldn't even deal with us directly.
so we are in quarantine, through no fault of our own from our "father" in heaven.
then how come satan got to enter in before j himself and question and debate before all the angels.
I believe Satan and a 1/3 of heaven were cast out before Adam fell
I talked to someone recently and this is what their belief was too. Although, I did not quite understand it from the scriptures he gave me but it made sense overall. I will have to speak with him again to get a better grip on it.
Thanks for posting this.

can you imagine suddenly never hearing from gumby, blondie, metatron or simon again?
think about never hearing from your favorite poster or online friend.
For years I got email from someone that sent out a joke of the day. We corresponded a little bit. I was not in his inner circle but I was a friend. He did not send anything for a few days. I later got an email from his family telling me he died in a car wreck at 37. They did not know me, I very much appreciated knowing.
We get very attached to ones online. I try to get email addresses, and physical addresses of ones that I am close to. For a long time I would not develop close online friendships until I know I could get in touch other than the intenet.
When a site goes down, you can lose touch. Better get emails from each other.

censorship borg style.
somebody killed the pope's last poop thread just because someone else was offended when i mentioned that i think that he wasn't such a good guy.
if you think you might be offended by what's said in a thread then don't read it.
Why? Why not? I still haven't heard anyone say why it's in poor taste to criticise someone who's dying as opposed to someone who's already dead.
Its like .........Kicking someone when they are down.......or hitting below the belt.
sorry.........I hope no one is close to you when you are dying and dislikes you and choses to exercise their freedom of speech
..but what's the current situation regarding the governing body?.
who's on it, who's the wt president now..in short, what's going on over there?.
