This guy makes me sick. He had a choice. Cult or not, he made a choice. He can rot in hell for that for all I care.

Does the royal commission have the power to force the Jws to change how abuse is handled?

by hoser in

i'm wondering if this is just a hearing or if this commission has teeth?.

some very damning things coming out nonetheless .

I have the same questions as Sir82....

I also wonder how whatever the end result could be, how it could affect other countries.

Hope this ruins them...

FMF Rant on Abuse and JW Apologists: The Single Root of the Whole Issue(s)

by freemindfade in

for the jw apologists, they debate certain factors to down play all the recent sex abuse information in the jehovah's witness organization.

and there is so much focus on "two witness rule" and "parents can report" the "elders aren't legal authorities" and many other smoke screen issues.

a lot of these issues and discussion are down stream from what i believe to be the root of the issue.

Hahahaha, Strong, that's such a good idea. Omg, she'd be so pissed though, lol.

I don't get how this is ok with them. How does it not eat away at them?

Protecting the flock is not their primary concern. Worrying about their image is. Well, that's certainly biting them in the a**.

Whats crazy to to me is, sometimes you have to say the hell with the rules, and just do the right thing. The GB should absolutely rot for this, but, those elders are just as responsible. Isn't that what all the Nazi's said when brought to trial, "We were just following orders." That's simply no excuse.

JW Hatred and Elders Apathetic Manners Drove Me Here! Why are JWs fooled in to thinking the WTS Cares?

by Judas Maccabee in

for years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.

with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.

i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

cognac

Totally agree with Oppostate. People do care and if they don't on this site, they just shouldn't have posted. How rude...
