For those of you "not baptised" and too afraid to front the RC. WT is hoping you won't come forward.

by umbertoecho in

hello to those following what is going in australia with our royal commission.. i want to let all those abused, neglected, shunned and blamed that i understand why you may not front the rc.

the wtbts is hoping you will consider yourself an invalid complainant, because you are not or were not.....baptised.

if you were abused at a young age and you told on your dad or the bad man that did it.......you would have been taken aside by the overseer and read scriptures about lying and being immoral; even if you didn't know what that word meant.

You’re making false claims that the RC is criminally investigating organizations which include Jehovah’s Witnesses. THEY ARE NOT. This body was formed to recommend by interviewing ALL institutions in Australia to better serve victims such as child sexual abuse in Australia. A solution that was reached in 2013 to ALL civilized countries in this world.

If your ignorance would be correct, then they would have to charge criminally every institution that is for review including all religions in Australia.

Some of you such as mentally diseased people like AZOR are taking away from the seriousness of a problem that it has been throughout the world.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is investigating how institutions like schools, churches, sports clubs and government organizations have responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse.

It is the job of the Royal Commission to uncover where systems have failed to protect children so it can make recommendations on how to improve laws, policies and practices.

The Royal Commission is about creating a safer future for children. It can look at any private, public or non-government organization that is, or was in the past, involved with children. This includes where an organization caring for a child is responsible for the abuse or for not responding appropriately, regardless of where or when the abuse took place.

The Royal Commission’s Report of Case Study no.10 – the Salvation Army’s handling of claims of child sexual abuse 1989 to 2014 was released today. The public hearing was held in March 2014 and examined The Salvation Army’s Eastern Territory’s response to claims of child sexual abuse at children’s homes it operated.

The Royal Commission has today published research in which children and young people have identified what institutions should do to help them feel safe and be safe. The research, "Taking Us Seriously: Children and young people talk about safety and institutional responses to their safety concerns" was conducted by the Australian Catholic University in partnership with Griffith University and the Queensland University of Technology.

So your ideology would mean ALL religions are CULTS and HARMFUL to children and society. Some of you really need a shrink. So I don't need to start a thread when there is so much misrepresentation within your own here.

Do you even know what your writing about, and what the purpose of the RC is? read their pamphlet again, and stop distorting their intent for their inquiry FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to think I thought you people were on to something. What a disappointment that the RC is investigating ALL ENTITIES in Australia. EXJWdubs misrepresentation once again.

A Royal Commission is a special investigation into a matter of great importance.

The community is concerned about widespread reports of cases in Australia where institutions have failed to protect children under their responsibility from sexual abuse.

Six Commissioners were appointed in January 2013 to investigate where institutions failed to protect children or to respond properly to allegations and incidents of child sexual abuse. The abuse may have happened a long time ago, or recently.

The Commissioners can look at any private, public or non-government institution in Australia that is, or was in the past, involved with children.

The Royal Commission will make recommendations on how to improve laws, policies and practices in Australia to provide a safer future for children.

The Catholic Church is next.

In View of R.C.hearing of J.W.& child Sexual Abuse in Aust. and it`s Worldwide Coverage.can we expect ....?

by smiddy in

are we likely to see a definite drop in new bible studies , interest in the religion ,a drop in meeting attendance ,especially in lands where this is widely reported ?

or even an exodus from many in the congregations who may view this as the last straw ?.

their have only been 3 days of this inquiry so far and the incompetence of the elders to articulate their position is painful to observe , they are ignorant to the extreme .showing a total disinterest in the whole proceedings.. when questioned , they have not bothered to understand the purpose of the commission , nor read any of the previous days proceedings ,nor have they bothered to read the victims statement ,and have shown a total disregard for the whole procedure .. surely any thinking person with half a brain would back away from any involvement with this religion .. i am overjoyed that this inquiry is getting worldwide media attention ,i hope you are too .. i commented on an article in ghana africa that ran with this story , so the sexual abuse of children within the jehovah`s witness organization is getting worldwide coverage .. what do you think ?.

That’s why I stipulated, children, parents. If a child is not conscience to understand what is happening, then an adult steps in to assist if seen. The severity of offensive is defined by secular law. Unless a church member is willing to accept the offense, clergy cannot force that member into admission. Especially under suppressed memory. That ignorance is saturated here.

Restitution to God is Repentance. That would mean, that persons proof of self worth to be forgiven by the people that persons harmed through Gods Grace in forgiveness. Secular punishment through mans law is NOT part of that. As I stated before, don’t confuse the two.

You statement that mans laws as written cannot comply a clergy to validate the persons claim is not correct. Where there is mandated reporting many churches complies with this law, including the JWs. Many will actively encourage a victim to report to police even if this is not an obligation imposed by law. Listner

The Catholic Church is the foremost to defend the right of confession (confessional privilege). Since 2013 the clergy mandate to report child abuse let’s say in the United States has been enacted in 27 States. I referenced the severity of the crime. The point I was making is EXJWdubs here expect and elder to force a person to admit the crime to turn them in. That coercion under United States and International Law is illegal, yet this is the rhetoric that should be accepted, Wrong Sir. That would be up to the victims and secular law to decide.

If it is to Correct an injustice for the people of Australia, then God will see if any wrong doing in behalf of Elders to their flock were harmed will be rectified under God’s hands. The embodiments of responsible people hold the majority of challenges. They are human just as you EXJWdubs here. The very same way you people were kicked out the same can happen to Elders or Governing Body.

As humans their just as fallible as the next person. If God made this event to be shown, then to clean house just as in the past, Yahweh’s will; will be done.

However keep in mind that no religion under secular law has been obligated to disenfranchise it’s sacrament to hold confessions other than to have the person repent or reject consul like the majority of you EXJWdubs did in your case that has caused you to be embittered.

Any religious organization has no legal authority to condemn or charge a person with a secular crime as indicated by ignorance here. As mentioned, people with half a brain can see beyond your narcissism and have a compassionate determination to children that have been abused. Those children, parents, have every right to seek justice through mans laws. However mans laws have nothing to do with God’s laws as mentioned by Christ himself. So you cannot intertwine the both.

Repentance is only for the soul. To show God you accepted the consequences for your misdeeds and wish to start new. This is once again for your soul that the churches look for. Anything more serious, the victims are obligated to show just cause to bring charges upon a person. It's the victims obligation to have that person arrested and convicted. To have that person pay for the serious crime, not the church. If a church finds through confession and that confession evil, then The proper authorities get notified. However mans laws as written cannot compile a clergy to under go validating the persons claims, that's up for the law to get the proof needed to being somone to justice.

If mans laws punish people for a crime, them those people will serve whatever punishment mans law give people, without having to confuse the notion between the both.

None of you have repented for whatever drove you out, then how can an organization punish someone spiritually if they defy God as you people have done here for 15 years.

Someone on another thread advised me before I judge someone look first at the log in my eye before you see the spic in theirs. These Double standards of EXJWdubs only reflects embodiment of double tongue.

May the victims of all crimes find peace with God.

How sad and pathetic it must be to civilization when ignorance of a tragic incident in Louisiana USA sparks an ideological discussion about religion on the back of their tragedy, how petty you people really are. The thought of relatives thinking of just their slayed relatives on their hour of grief would want to read this garbage. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Transcription of interview with Rabbi Michael Berenbaum regarding German JW's in the concentration camps

by Saintbertholdt in

a while ago i transcribed a video interview with rabbi michael berenbaum from the university of judaism.

the interview concerns jehovah's witnesses during the second world war in the german concentration camp system.

berenbaum is a historian and specifically researches jehovah's witnesses during the shoah and also the idea of martyrdom.

SimonSays

Interesting topic. It kind of reminds me of an avatar here by the handle of Black Crow. A draconian that made assertions those bible students in WW2 somehow conspired with the Nazis to gain favors from the Gestapo to place them in work camps verses the gas chamber. An entertaining concept however idiotically misplaced.

While I understand the Rabbi, it only shows what the ancient Jew did with Jesus to renounce and reject Jesus sovereign state of being the messiah and chose a murderous Jew over Jesus to be sacrificed. An Idealism of the Jewish people even today that make every attempt to play both sides of the fence (convenience).

If the Jews of today would be given the opportunity to sign a paper renouncing their status as Jew, to retain their life, millions of Jews would sign on the dotted line. That’s human nature and since people here have forgotten what Peter did with Jesus in the account in Mark 14:30 context: Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial as an Apostle to Christ. So this memory lane is useless, and is made to misinterpret and misguide the intentions of the WTS’s past. Bible Student’s that stopped preaching or burned their cards were merely being human. Those that chose a path of sovereignty to Jehovah did so with Pride and Zeal over just being complacent. The fact the Gestapo used them in work camps was merely a decision the Nazis used since they understood the Bible students had no political agenda with any nation including the United States as it stands even today that’s all.

There was no secret collusion as some people have suggested here in the past. No secret meetings of who to frame as a conspirator. For that you would need to look into the Vatican that did submit themselves or aligned themselves with the Nazis in return for Vatican City could retain its sovereign state. Even Jews did so. Human nature at its worst in war time.

The same ideal that would be used today if WW3 would break out. How many here would be the first to point at a Jehovah’s Witness to let the controlling government those people reject all governments and should be dealt with. Every Ex-Witnesses dream to have a witness harmed driven by hate not convenience.

So theoretically, this subject has no value other than to say, according to the Rabbi’s ideal. If you’re a Jehovah’s Witness, be as us Jewish people. Don’t over shadow our human behavior by being better than us to sacrifice yourselves for Yahweh when we didn’t and your making us look bad to the world, it’s acknowledgement of our behavior as in ancient times, renounce in lieu over fear. A Judeo-Christian concept for Americans.

Why not just identify your true intent to procrastinate in WW2 bible students or Jehovah’s Witness past. It’s to suggest to modern countries with religious restrictions to imply that the WTS has a political agenda so those communist bloc nations or Muslim states to have an excuse to reject the preaching work such as they tried in Monaco. Call it for what your evil intent is to dabble in the past. So the term martyrdom would be ambiguous.
