  WT Society Has to be Forced by Courts to Reveal Hidden Child Abuses

  by flipper in

  2. child-abuse

  in one of the new pieces of information in the new elders manual - section 5:18 - it shows how elders are instructed to keep all judicial committee information private from media or attorneys.

  keeping in mind how secretive the wt society has been in hiding child abuse within the jehovah's witnesses notice these instructions to elders now.. it states, " if a member of the media or an attorney representing the accused ( or possibly victims ) contacts the elders , they should not give him any information about the case or verify there is a jc.

  rather, they should give the following explanation, " the spiritual and physical welfare of jehovah's witnesses is of paramount concern to the elders, who have been appointed to " shepherd the flock ".

  Flipper,

  I had an interesting conversation with an Elder in my old congro Re child molesters going from door to door.

  There is a child molester in my old congro.

  I told the elder that if i saw him regualy going to a persons house i would fell obliged to say something to the householder.

  The elder said to me "he has had councling and taken steps to rite his wrong doing"

  My reply "We know that and can make our own minds up about if we want him in our house or not....the person he is calling on dosen't know that...in effect you and the rest of the Elders have made the householders mind up for them"

  He gave me the standard cureall....leave it in Jehovah's hands.

  i was talking with flipper on the phone the other day and i mentioned that the cobe formally the po told me that.

  i have been told so many stupid things in this religion when it comes to pedophiles that i never truly thought about it before and i just said it to flipper in my conversation.

  that is the stupidest thing i have heard.. so i thought i would do a thread about it.

  Holy Spirit in Judicial Committees

  by Mr. Falcon in

  2. beliefs

  one of the most controversial practices of jehovah's witnesses is the operation of judicial committees.

  these specially-assigned inquisitory boards are manned by at least 3 elders and interrogate, investigate and finally prosecute a person believed to be guilty of any number of offenses.

  these offenses can be anything from heavy drinking, masturbation, swearing to infidelity, apostacy even issues of bloodguilt.

  none of my three marriages lasted that long!

  today is the tenth anniversary of my being disfellowshipped.

  apparently i am much better at being disfellowshipped than being married.. i might end up getting married again someday, but i will definitely not return to the cult.. say amen!.

  My Brother was DF'ed and it turns out 1 of the Elders(married) on the JC was haveing an affair with another married sister.

  So how can they possabley say the ''Holy spirit" was with them???

  But they can always use the cureall ''Imperfect man" excuse.

  If the WTBTS is so convinced they are rite about everything why don't they come on here and have an open debate?

  Ive tryed debating with them they just walk away...not interested in anything they are not told to listen to.
