This must be the only religion where one can be an accused child molester and keep their position, but if they want to be a doctor or professor you get named and shamed.
This is the best way I have I have heard it explained. It sounds so ridiculous when you say it out loud, but there is so much truth in it. It's crazy.
several days ago our beloved barbara anderson, watchdog of watchtower-abused children, posted our forum’s thread, “slate article: a new “wikileaks for religion” publishes its first trove of documents”.
the new faithleaks web site began hosting document submissions aimed at whistleblowers of a religious bent.
it must’ve caught the eye of some watchtower insider.. “faithleaks, like mormonleaks, is founded on the belief that increased transparency results in fewer untruths, less corruption, and less abuse in any organization.
Many years ago I was an elder but was never involved in judicial committee duties. It sounds as if you were. My question to you: why wouldn't the committee want to interview her to see if his alibi, weak as it was, were true?
My only experience personally with how judicial committees work is as an elder's kid. But since leaving, I have done a lot of reading, and in the elder's handbook, it says that if a woman is charged with something and a judicial committee is formed, that the husband is to be informed and involved. But if a man is charged with something and a judicial committee is formed, then the elders are supposed to keep it confidential from the wife and just "encourage" the husband to tell her. Perhaps they did talk to her about his alibi, but in all those records, there is no mention of it, and there is nothing in the elder handbook that says they have to.

I find it interesting and alarming that the mother's part in all of this is mostly absent, aside from then man's claim that his wife told him to do it. Judicial procedures would prevent the mother from being a part of any of the investigation. What part did she play in allowing this to happen, allowing it to continue, or covering it up, in the process. Or was she mostly kept in the dark, except for what her daughters were willing to share with her. I don't know the answer, but the question weighs on my mind. The whole process of using their self created judicial system, that refuses to allow professionals, authorities or WOMEN to be a part of it is a crime in itself.
The FIRST call they should be required to make should be to the authorities when abuse of ANY kind is reported.
i thought this video was pretty well done and mildly entertaining to watch.. on another note, i am really hoping some clever ex-jws will do their own animation series with caleb and sophia as young adults trying to leave the org.
that would be awesome.
caleb and sophia ... the ex-jw years.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lwoitxaa_u.
Didn't quite get the bit about growing up and paying your debts - does it mean the parents?I need to watch again. I was hoping it was going to say " but one day we will grow up and then you won't see us for dust!"( or something like that).
I thought that was a little odd, too, and a bit unnecessary. I felt like the angry tone at the end really detracted from the message. It's quite interesting how many images there are of the kids being in trouble and being shamed once they spliced all the videos together. Quite sad, really.

for all of you who have closely followed my posts over the years....(ok, so that's none, i get it).
some time ago in a galaxy far far away.... i posted some aus government files.. one of which contained an article...'what is a jehovah's witness - - by milton g henschel.
(see here).. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/161119/more-aus-watchtower-pdf-files.
Oh my goodness, I just saw the caption underneath the article's photo. It says, "Jehovah's Witness ministers baptizing converts, whose ages ranged from four to 86, in Ruislip, Lido, London." Do you really think they baptized a 4 year old? Wow!
On a comical note, I saw the form fitting swimsuits and men with no shirts, and thought it would give Tony Morris III a stroke if he walked into a convention and saw such a thing! LOL

Jehovah's Witnesses have enough legitimate issues that need addressing. There is no need to make up sensationalized, ridiculous stories.

quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.
especially for the first sister they talk about!.
I can't get over the beginning ...
"I didn't read the letter because it was really long and had lots of words". <--- paraphrasing.
Were they trying to portray those two elders as complete doofuses?
but how??????

I found it! Here is the link if anyone else wants to read it. https://www.vogue.com/article/serena-williams-pregnancy-vogue-september-issue-2017
I read it and cringed. It sounds like she might want to go hard core now and is trying to convert her muslim-raised husband. She actually used a JW phrase that made me want to throw up a little bit ... "takes the lead"!
Talking about her (then) fiancee, Alexis Ohanian:
“He’s extremely smart but not a know-it-all. He’s curious about what he doesn’t know. Being a Jehovah’s Witness is important to me, but I’ve never really practiced it and have been wanting to get into it. Alexis didn’t grow up going to any church, but he’s really receptive and even takes the lead. He puts my needs first.”
