Covering over child abuse in the congregation in the future.

by Gill in

the case of jehovah's witness 'eunice spry' found guilty of mistreating her foster children has hit the airways all over the world with a vengeance.

i understand from another poster 'in the know' that there will be another two cases associated with this case that soon will hit the headlines again....... so, do you think that the watchtower society will come down on its elders harshly to prevent them from going to the police in the future with their suspicions, as happened with eunice spry?.

will there be more 'verbal' instruction to keep any accusations quiet because of the bad press that they must now be heartily sick of?.

The start of the Eunice Spry trial in Bristol was very interesting, HH Simon Darwell-Smith (The Judge) made it very clear on Day 1 that:

"This is a case primarily between 2 Jehovah's Witnesses", "Nobody on the jury is to be a JW, have any connection with JW's or know anything about the JW's".

Hence it took well into the second day just to choose 12 Jurors from 50 available.

Even then they had to fill in a questionaire for the Judge and both barristers which they took home and filled in overnight.

So in future will this be applied to ALL religions?

Perhaps this is the way to communicate with 'The Faithful and Discrete Slave' then?

I often wondered how to do it

When You Hear of a Witness Getting Sick or Dying, Does It Bother You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

when you hear that old brother so-and-so died or that sister elder's wife is very ill, do you feel bad?--------- like you want to call the family, see the sick former friends?

?

fokyc

The dying bit doesn't bother me,

BUT when the congregational elders have gotten the family daughter in prison and I have to organise her fathers funeral.

THAT takes the biscuit!!

I suppose her Mum will be next.

Very sad for an organisation that is supposed to be loving and caring!

date : 20.03.07. foster mother eunice spry has been found guilty of subjecting children in her care to two decades of horrific abuse.. the 62-year-old, from tewkesbury, beat them, fed them rat droppings, stopped them sleeping and rubbed their faces with sandpaper.

she thrust sticks down their throats when they misbehaved and made them eat dog food.. one daughter was forced to use a wheelchair for four years even though she was perfectly able to walk.. doctors, teachers and neighbours raised constant concerns about spry's treatment of the children but nothing was ever done by social services.. the catalogue of abuse only came to light when one of the children went to the jehovah's witness elders at the church the family attended.. spry, from tewkesbury, was found guilty of 26 charges of cruelty after a three week trial at bristol crown court.

To this day, whenever I smell a greasy donut, I think of Twickenham

Oh! Those doughnuts were the best, I remember the 8 day 1963 in Twickenham, Yummy, greasy, freshly made Doughnuts every day.

Cardiff local fish and chips come a close second, must go and get some, BYE
