I know of 3, but.... I know of 4 of the molesters and am not sure on who they molested if that counts.

i thought it would be interesting if we started count here on this board.
please list how many you know personally, then add from the previous results, to keep a running tally.
i realize it wont be an accurate count but perhaps an estimate of those that we know or are aquatinted with.. i'll start.. 3 +.

GO BILL!!!! I am so proud of you for speaking out and for handling all this in a mature way. I know it has to be hard on you to do all this considering how long you were a witness but you have done the right thing for the silent lambs. You have done more for these people and for others that might actually see the truth than the WTBTS ever has given. They give hope, you give reality!!!!! I also wanted some information on what is going to be done with the silent lambs that showed up at the candle light vigil??? I mean when I was a witness that would have been looked at as following an apostate since it was not the WTBTS that organized this. But.... non the less I am so proud of every single one of you guys that have made this problem "REAL" in the eyes of the world, and also in the eyes of the ones that are not so brainwashed that they can see the light!!!!!

if you got to the jw pr website, you can join an email list.
this morning i received an email from their list about child abuse.
the title of the email is "knowledge of child abuse--progressive understanding for society in general".
To me this whole thing sounds like the fall of the pagan religions!!! What amazes me so much is when the whole scandal in the catholic church came out, I remember my grandmother and my mother talking about how "awful" it was that these things were going on and how world like it was!!!! Now that all this is coming out about the JoHo's I havent heard a word from my mother and granny about this. I am going to bring it up to them... but.... only after dateline airs. I would hate to have to hear my mother and granny harp on me for being involved in apostate affairs!!

watchtower spin doctors!.
dr. gail bethea-jackson tells us that we didn't know what child abuse was 18-20 years ago.
gag on this one!.
I wish that I could see this but for some reason it is not letting me see it!!!!! I am so pissed and I was really looking forward to this!!!!

some questions, if they have been asked before, i have not seen the thread.. how long did you study with a witness, before you entered the jw .
religion, how long before being baptized?.
( i was raised in the "truth" and baptized at 16.).
I grew up as a witness got baptized when I was 12(under my mothers influence) and was disfellowshiped at age 14.

i was wondering if anyone here has tried to sue the wtbts for anything that had gone on with them personally.
i have always wondered about that because so many people have so much "beef" with them that i felt for sure that someone could find some reason to sue them.
i have a feeling after dateline airs there will be alot more coming into the public eye as far as what the witnesses have done.... and i feel as though there will be alot more witnesses that will step forward with molesttions, rape, and other wrong doings that have been going on.
well does anyone know the policy on what you can do about someone being a minor???? Or what about mental distress because I see so many people that successfully sue on mental distress terms????

Please let me know what you guys think on this.
i am going to start by telling a little of my story.
when i was growing up, my mother was a witness, and my father was not.
my mother took me and my brother and sister to the meetings with her.
hey frust.... My dad did know cause my mom has made him go to the meetings with her in the past. My father is also a very wealthy man and when all this bull shit came out in 1975(?) about the end of the world coming to an end and that everyone needed to sell all that they owned the elders came down hard on my mom and father considering he was so wealthy. When I was born I had to have a blood transfusion and my father over ruled my mother in this decision. But... Dad really became upset at my Judicial Meeting cause of the very very inappropriate way that these grown men(elders) were quizing me about my sexual experiances. My dad is now known to my mother as the "king apostate" but yet the dumb bitch is still with him!!!!

Hey blacksheep email me cause I would really like to talk to you about this farther. My father was also an unbeliever and now he will sit and cry and talk to me about how he wished he had stepped in and took us kids out of that situation. He is behind me 100%, problem is he is still with my mother.

Well, I have talked to my mother before and told her how I feel but she still harps on me in knowing that it is the "truth". When My oldest child(she was 5) came home around Christmas and told me that she didn't want to celebrate Christmas cause she was going to be a Jehovah's Witness I told her that I did not agree and that if she was going to be a witness she could not associate with me. All that night I would not talk to her and then when she went to go to bed she came up to give me a kiss and I told her that I could not kiss her. She got really upset and started crying and went to bed. I know it was harsh but I think that she got the message so I went into her room and I told her why I did that. Then I also explained to her that I knew that when she did talk about Jehovah that I knew that it made "mawmaw" happy and she felt more love from her. I told her that mawmaw should accept her no matter what her decisions are and love her no matter what. What the deal was that my daughter would tell my mom how excited she was about Christmas and the reaction that she got from my mom was not good. All she wanted was her love and acceptance and she got that from my mom when she was interested in what she had to say about "JEHOVAH".
My fear is not that she is going to actually join the witness cult, because even at a really young age she is smart and very perceptive so I know it will continue into adulthood. My fear is that once my mom sees that she is interested and my daughter gets all the love from her then and then when my daughter realizes it isn't what she wants to do then she is going to feel the same rejection as I have from my mother and from all the fucking JO HO's!!! That rejection should not be there no matter what and expecially if you are a parent or a grandparent. I have slowed down the visits to my mothers house greatly and I am really thinking about cutting off all ties with my mother from me and my family, I just don't want to have my children hurt from this. It is a tough decision. And.... I also wanted to add that my daughter is basically the only one that she does this too because my daughter is the only one that does not have her biological father and the father of my boys has stepped in and my mom feels like my husband has no say so on my daughter and that she can push me around. Do I make sense??? I feel like I don't.
