  Why are none of the 'Governing Body' being summoned to any of the abuse commissions?

  by GodZoo in

  i'm not sure if this has been covered but i'm wondering why none of the gb are being requested at or formally summoned to any of the australian abuse commissions or other investigations that are taking place around the world?

  they after all are the ones single handedly responsible for making and enforcing all the rules that are the sole cause of all these abuses and problems.. why are they just keeping their silent distance and leaving all the ill-equipped and sadly incompetent local elders exposed to take the full public blast, criticism and humiliation for all that is now being brought out in these investigations?

  how are they seemingly able to sit cosy in their ivory tower immune and unaccountable?.

  Going to a bad place when i die

  i've thought and said too much to ever gain jehovahs forgiveness and love if i want to be a christian again.

  i made a topic on my unforgivable sin and blaspemy of the holy spirit.. i feel saddness everyday having no relationship with god, no religion and fear of the afterlife.

  even when i was kid i feared death and the end of the world.

  Don't worry, all us cool people will be in hell, the hookers, rockstars and so on. It ill be the cool place to be!

  Witnesses are not living as happy a life as their stepford smiles would lead you to believe, trust me. They are a ticking time bomb of nerves most of them. Take a deep breath and go enjoy the life you are fortunate enough to have and experience.

  Also what _morpheus said is true. You can get to a place where you have so much peace, you just haven't found your way all the way there yet.

  JW Reaction to Royal Commission Reports

  has anybody confronted any jws with the royal commission reports on the news yet?

  i showed my 8-year old daughter a newspaper headline about it, and when she told my jw wife that the jws in australia were in trouble for not reporting over 1,000 child abusers to police, her response was "oh, really?

  well, i don't know what the rules are over there.

  Told my wife "JW's are harmful, google news search Jehovah's Witnesses and see whats happening in Australia". It's as if I didn't say anything at all. Like the words never existed and she never heard them.

  This is getting more and more disgusting: "JW Abuse Victim Told to Bottle Her Tears"

  by cappytan in

  it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

  wow... when in doubt quote obscure, strange sounding, bronze age scriptures that will sound utterly culty and bizarre in a trial. This stuff is making them out to be giant assholes!

  the general census is that the jw's are very, very confused.

  This thing is gonna be going on for many more days and the its getting attention and serious hits, it could make it to more and more mainstream media. Im impressed with the amount of exposure its had in two days, wonder how it will look a week from now?

  And yes it is in Australia, but it is an American religion (eh hem cult), that has worldwide reach and controversy over the years. People find witnesses odd and generally wouldn't pay much attention, but the media feeds peoples hunger for scandal and bad news and atrocities (sad but true). So i am not surprised this could reach far outside Australia.

  "Do you realise how inappropriate that is?!"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  in the australian royal commission enquiry into child abuse and the way institutions handle such is underway.. today the judge said the following in response to the way judicial committees operate:.

  (not verbatim...but the gist of his comments are:).

  "so a young woman, a suspected victim of abuse or someone accused of a sin, would have to appear before three older men in a 'judicial committee' and relate in detail her ordeal?

  It is utterly inappropriate, for anyone to be isolated in a JC, especially a victim of sex crime. Its disgusting.

  http://www.9news.com.au/national/2015/07/27/03/35/jehovah-s-witnesses-face-inquiry.

  jehovah's witnesses destroyed notes about child sexual abuse to stop them falling into the wrong hands and to "protect their wives", a church elder has told a national hearing in sydney.. the opening day of a royal commission hearing into abuse within the controversial church has heard how more than 1000 cases of child abuse since 1950 were dealt with internally and never reported to police.. it has also heard that victims were made to confront their abusers and left feeling as if they had sinned.. max horley was an elder for the jehovah's witness congregation in narrogin, western australia, in the late 1980s when a woman, known as bcb, was interviewed about her relationship with another church elder, bill neill.. in evidence on monday, bcb told how neill, who is dead, groomed her from the age of 15. he would tongue kiss her and spy on her when she was in the shower at his home.. when the abuse was revealed, she was asked to attend meetings where on one occasion the abuser joked about what he had done.. .

  Vidiot, i am surprised, my memories going up in this organization I heard about it constantly. My friend and I used to go stay at someones house when we were younger, years later it came out he raped all his kids. years later I met him again, an active jdub. Creepy sob. But I have heard of so many experiences during my life. The organization is not a spiritual paradise its a haven for pedo's
