  Canadian gets 3 years - sexual exploitation of girl while he was a JW elder

  by Gopher in

  wendell willick was sentenced to prison last week for sexual abuse of a girl beginning in 1996 when the girl was 14. he was an elder at the time, but gave up being an elder a few years ago and left the jw's entirely in 2004. his lawyer gave some weasel words toward the bottom of this story that claimed willick wasn't acting in his capacity as an elder when the abuse occurred.

  let there be no doubt, willick was an elder when this started and for many years while it was continuing.. http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=9ab94717-9097-4894-a6bd-bf6e88d81203&k=74159.

  jehovah's witness elder gets three years for sexual exploitationbetty ann adam, canwest news servicepublished: friday, november 09, 2007saskatoon -- a former jehovah's witness church elder has been sentenced to three years in prison for the sexual exploitation of a troubled teenage girl with whom he carried on a four-year relationship.. "our courts must send a clear message to every person in authority over a child that sexual contact with them will not be tolerated and will result in lengthy periods of imprisonment," justice marty popescul said friday at the saskatoon court of queen's bench.. wendell willick, 47, was counselling the girl at the behest of her parents - who were friends of willick through their church - during the period of the abuse, which began in 1996, when the girl was 14.. the court heard during a sentencing hearing that willick first had sexual intercourse with the girl when she was visiting his home on a weekend pass from a hospital psychiatric ward.. the victim, whose name is protected by a publication ban, was in the midst of a troubled adolescence.

  Hi Rosalee, nice to see you again. I guess after a weekend filled with spiritual association and food at the proper time, you felt the need to pop onto your local apostate website for a dose of reality.
  
  I am a just so happy you have a place like this to come too... don't you you agree?

  so... my condo complex is getting some badly needed new lighting.

  finally, the tall new lights are installed and they are removing the much shorter older lights.

  they left them laid on the ground for a few hours while they dug up the old bases.

  NSRN, he used to be totally inconsolable when he would get upset, now he has learned to control himself pretty well. He has some allergies and sensitivities to preservatives and food colouring. Now that he is detoxed he is a much happier child. We will continue to keep a close eye on him in case he does need more help.
  
  His teachers say he is progressing really well in school and he has made a couple of friends. His social skills are still developing however he is a shy child to begin with.

  This is my two year old. His biggest issue is keeping the ketchup out of nose. Can you see the remorse in his eyes?es?

  Must JWs Confirm They're JWs?

  by Simon G Best in

  i was just wondering.

  is there some sort of doctrine, or belief, principle, rule or whatever, that says that jehovah's witnesses, when asked, must confirm that they're jehovah's witnesses?

  (one possible basis for such a rule, that comes to mind, is the bit about peter denying jesus three times before the cock crowed.).

  The reason this thread is called ... Thanks ... is that my eyes have been opened to what to expect outside my safe haven. I will now view exjw's for what they really are. Not just disgruntled exes but ones who will do anything to dishonor the truth.

  So ... thanks a lot ... you've made me see where my loyalties lie.

  You posted the above quote back on September 21, 2007. Why are you still here? What do you want from the board now? Are you looking for validation? I am trying to understand you.

  It depends if the person asking has any right to know.

  Doesn't hurt to ask. I don't believe asking a question is against any laws.

  If fact, Rosalee are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  my dear friends, i feel so ashamed of myself for having not been in contact for over two weeks with anyone who was at the toronto fest, i have been so ill for the last two weeks or more and haven't even got onto my computer to tell all of you that it was grand and to especially thank two wonderfull persons in particular.

  you know who you are and because i had misplaced your telephone number i wasn' t able to contact you and tell you how truly you made me feel so special that day.. could you please send me you phone number again and your address as i would like to send you a christmas card as well.. i met some fine wonderful people from all over the place.

  this is one day i will cherish for the rest of my life.

  He just turned 5 last week.

  I don;t really mind his little quirks, they are what make him so special, just sometimes I am baffled.

  He looked out the window a few minutes ago, and didn't make any comment now that the old lights are completely gone.

  JD, you make me laugh.

  Good idea Sweets, but with my luck he would want the poor kids to come live with us.
