Whatever happened to throwing away the keys to the jail cell and let them rot there. These kid's have to live with the consequences of what this man did for the rest of their lives.

Australia - Elder Jailed Over Sex Abuse
by OrphanCrow inanother one.. https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/30810834/church-elder-is-jailed-over-sex-abuse/.
a jehovah’s witness elder who sexually assaulted two vulnerable teenagers he met through the church was sentenced to three years jail yesterday over the “destructive” abuse.. david frank pople, 68, met the boys through the safety bay congregation of the church and assaulted them between 1989 and 1996.. one of the teens reported the sexual assaults to elders in 1997 but police were not made aware of the abuse until he filed a police report in 2014.pople was forcibly ejected from the church for being “insufficiently repentant” in 1997 and readmitted the following year at his request.. district court judge troy sweeney accepted pople was genuinely remorseful but said he had interfered with his victims’ natural maturing process in a “very destructive way”.“a message must be sent that child abuse is abhorrent and will not be tolerated by any civilised society,” she said.“they were vulnerable because they were young and because you were a church elder and their boss.”.
when pople admitted assaulting one of the boys during a conversation with an elder in the 1990s, he was told a judicial committee would be formed to deal with the issue.the elders spoke to pople in an apparent attempt to determine his level of remorse and later sent a letter to certain members of the congregation explaining in great detail why he had been ejected.. pople was in his 40s when he assaulted the boys at work, on his yacht and in his shoalwater home.he was close friends with the parents of his first victim and had helped the second victim with his bible studies.. defence lawyer nick scerri told the court pople was candid with the leadership of the church and made “very frank admissions” about some aspects of the offending in 1997.he said his client has been living three lives and was “deeply unhappy” when he assaulted the boys.“he had the life of the family man, the father, the husband,” mr scerri said.

A question on natural selection
by The Rebel inlast friday my boy of ten was very late back from school, so i called the school, they called the police, and to cut a long horrible exsperience short he had been helping a younger boy fly his kite.. but what has occurred to me is that when orlando was 5 years old he was totally dependent on mummy and daddy, whilst horses, cats, birds and other animals are born and are independent within days.. so my question on natural selection is, how are we humuns still here?.
the rebel..

My heart goes out to you. The grow out to you, they grow up. Cherish every moment. Mine are now 30 and 24. Yes they do forget to tell mom when kite flying has taken priority over coming home and they just do not get how come mom would ever panic over such little matters. Now my son has 2 of his own and he is finally getting it 30 years later, only after he caused me many a heart attacks. -

Slimboyfat,
Never a JW, so a disfellowshipped person cannot talk to active JW and they cannot talk to disfellowshipped people who are they supposed to talk to for that year or two till they get reinstated?
This whole thing is so unloving and so not supported by any Bible principles.

Your Favorite Poetry
by compound complex inthank you, dear friends, for expressing your thoughts today on the importance of the arts in your lives.
many years ago, a number of threads were devoted to poetry, literature, even english grammar.
rather than resurrect an old thread -- usually with zero results -- i would like to introduce a new post, asking you to add some of your favorite verse.

I will add one thing Behavior problems in school is a sign that something is wrong somewhere. It is either a learning disability, emotional problem or could be sever family issues AND the school should be addressing these issues. -

My experience with Aspergers comes from being a Mom. My son by the time he was in first grade spoke and wrote in three languages and told the teacher to give him some real work to do. That went over real big. By the time he was in 5th grade (note he had no clue what it was) he was doing calculas in his head. Now could he get along with the kids in the classroom NOPE. On a one to one basis could he carry on a conversation at the age of say 13 or 14 with say an attorney and the attorney stand there going and WHAT IS HIS AGE?!?!
At one point I identified a child at the school bus stop. I watched this child for a week, then for several days with the mother's permission I spoke to him several times. I questioned mom as to what type of testing the school has done which is a requirement in the US if requested by the parent. She stated they said he is just a behavior problem. I told her, tomorrow you be dressed ready to go to school once the bus pulls out here. We went to the school. When the principal saw me with her they instantly agreed to testing her son. Six weeks later a diagnosis of sever Aspergers.

Aspergers Syndrome is not that hard for the proper Doctor to diagnose. It does have many forms and someone can be very high functioning and extremely intelligent. One of the signs is inability to function in a group setting. They would be able to do the same task with one other person but if there were say 4 people around they would shut down and not be able to function. Young boys will tend to get labeled "trouble makers" because they cannot express their frustration that they are uncomfortable with so many people as round them. When they are removed into a smaller group where they are free to express themselves then the true person will shine.
