RO,

I work with an International youth group all adults have to maintain their annual Adult Certified Volunteers status in order to volunteer to work with these girls. When the girls join the organization both the girls and her parents attend a meeting and the rules are set out very clearly we do not tolerate: there is a long list they get it in writing at the end is one sheet the daughter, parents and ACV will sign it and this will go in the permanent file.

A couple points in particular that is made very clear in this list is no daughter is ever to be alone with an adult. Never is there to be a one on one situation. We have very successful sleepovers all the time. They are truly a blast, sleepover well skip that part that says "sleep" that part never seems to happen!! LOL

If the organization is run properly with rules in place and proper adult supervision you can have a super great time with the kids and zero incidents. And that is why I still enjoy these teenagers when I am 65.

The Elders were made aware of it. In the organization I am associated with it makes no difference where it occurs we pickup the phone and call authorities if we suspect any form of child abuse. It could have occurred anywhere.

Settlement also keeps it out if the nedia!!

RO,

The Elders of two congregations knew of these activities from the time she was 14 years old. Someone transported this underage child (14 she was privately reproved and 15 publicly reproved for her part in this child sexual abuse) across state lines. I find this entire thing disgusting that the Elders would find the victim the sinner!! The parents, Elders, and any one who answered a phone call at the branch from the WT should all be fined and jailed. But this is a civil case so I hope she got several million.

Anyone who try to defends the actions of anyone of these people are just as sick as the perverts.

RO,

I was never a JW and ended up on this forum when I got dumped by the "Elder " after 5 yrs for asking the wrong question cause he never told me about his beliefs.

I do not at all get your last statement when everything I hear about is field service and Bible Study to prepare for Baptism. How is this pretty ridiculous, based on experiences from this forum and other sites that is not to ridiculous. Please explain this statement you made:

What the complaint set out in this case was pretty ridiculous in my opinion. In the complaint it talks about how Watchtower should prevent all interaction between any adult and child. Should monitor all activities of congregation members and so forth.

Oh, and I am sure they will not report this on their news site or on their legal battles as a lost.

The sad part is JWS will be or are told do not believe the LIES in the media about the Jehovah Witness Organization. Well here is another one of those supposed lies that their Rock Star GB are always ranting about!!

Maybe one day someone will put $1,000 into the contribution box and say where the hell is this money going too? See when I contribute $1,000 to the Shriner's Hospital I get a thank you note in the mail along with some nice pictures of some great kids we have helped AND oh wait and their financial statements and upcoming budgets. Transparency! !!

This cult is just disgusting! !!!

Back again to say hi! Life update after walking away from the cult.

by Darkknight757 in

i hope all is well.

my last post over a month ago was going to be the last considering i wanted to get away from all things jw but this place is much harder to ignore than previously thought.

life has taken some very interesting turns since late last year.

Thank you for sharing your story. I was never a JW. But grew up in a very abusive home. I also lost my first son in during childbirth. Congratulations on the twins. I went on to have two kids they are now 31 and 25.

Great job on getting involved with the charity work, it is my biggest passion.

Please keep us posted how things are going for you two.

one thing about all these pedophiles cases i cant understand is..

by nowwhat? in

as a parent, if it was my kid i would go straight to the police and or beat the living shit out of the perpetrator.

were all these parents of the victims brain dead or that indoctrinated?.

rebelfighter

Nowwhat,

Never a JW and never in a KH, I have to totally agree with you. I know the case I assisted with was my girlfriend's husband for abusing his kids and I wanted to personally strangle the man with my bare hands but knew I would end up prison for murder leaving my kids without their mother.

BUT, then I have watched so many of these JC's and listened to these Elders and actually don't even think they have a clue what reality is all about. I think about the bunker video, then the upcoming ARC in March, the advertisement from the law firms -- do you think any of the current Elders have connected the dots that they may be put under the bus in very short order by the WT. Elders who have made it to this forum have woke up and seen the lies but how many are still wearing those blindfolds.

84 Lumber Commercial

friends

just saw this commercial and was very impressed.

hoping more companies start doing the same.

most of us are immigrants.

Spoletta,

My comment about the birth certificate verses the tax return was because I am so OVER this bloody election. If I recall the election 8 years ago when Obama became the President there was some outcry but nothing like this continues mud slinging, demonstrations. So we put up with Obama for the not next 4 years but 8 years giving away every possible tax dollar he could come up with to people who flipping do not want to get off their butts and work. Well I think the hard working American tax payers are DONE with the US tax deficit.

84 lumber is promoting to heart strings in this commercial for someone doing something illegal WRONG!! Like it was pointed out many times on this thread come in this country legally and your welcomed. Illegal and your NOT!!!

I raised my children in that big city, yes Washington DC, they started in private bilingual international schools starting at the age of 2 1/2. They were exposed to all cultures, religions and almost every nationality, these people entered the country legally. My children now adults are accepting as I of people for who THEY are on the inside NOT on the outside!

My choice for President has always been and always will be for the candidate who will spend my Hard work for Tax dollars wisely and not be throwing it away.

You be the judge as to who you think I voted for.

Trust me I am not paying for any food stamps or welfare or housing assistance for any young one to go pioneer!! That is plain BS!!!! Just saying I was 40 when my husband had a stroke I had a new born and 6 yr old, a mortgage designed for two career people in DC. That 6 yo was already in a pricey private school. NOPE, did not get any gov't help JUST I took on more clients made up the lost income!!!
