  Yes. It's on lancasteronline.com

  It's under the heading, Mount Joy Man sentenced for Sex Crimes...

  Unfortunately, the writer failed to mentioned that he's a JW. I am good friends with her sister. I wonder if

  I should say something.

  Balaa...I think he was a ministerial servant. He had a disabled wife who actually walked in on the

  abuse a few years before it came to light and she told him that he should confess. Well, he didn't.

  It only came out when this boy was in 11th grade and his behavior was so bad that he was on heavy

  medication. He was violent, moody and diagnosed as bipolar. However, now that it's out, he's off medications

  and is hoping to join the service. I hope that he makes it. I called my mom and asked if she knew him. She said

  the same sounded familiar. I told her what happened and she was like, oh, he's out now! I said, no, that, in fact, JW

  relatives were in from out of town in SUPPORT of him. I told my mother that that is unforgivable in my opinion. They

  were all saying how people make mistakes, etc. However, this wasn't ONE mistake. This was a course of conduct

  perpetrated on a young victim three to five times a week over the course of three years...makes me wonder how

  many other victims are out there.

  My judge said, "I don't know if you've done this before," to which he shook his head no, that he didn't,"but at

  least I can ensure that this never happens again." I don't believe it. I think there are MANY victims out there and his

  local KH should start looking there.

  One more reason I would never set foot in a KH again!

  Sanduskly will be put away for life. He will probably get consecutive sentences for each, one after the other, for a total

  of at least 100..but there may be more victims coming forward.

  65 year old self-professed JW man sentenced to 20-40 years state for abusing a young neighbor boy

  over a course of THREE years. He actually read scriptures to the boy after each abuse session, which

  averaged 3-5 times a week...here's the kicker. When it came time for him to talk to the judge, his last words

  were...."I'm not a monster. I'm not a monster."

  My heart goes out to the parents who were crying their eyes out in the back. Parents who trusted this

  man implicitly. Now their son is horrifically messed up. I see this all the time in my line of work, but this

  sentencing will imprint in my mind indefinitely. Not only because he's a JW, but because of the emotion the

  parents exhibited.

  Sad...so sad....

  That's a bit clearer, thanks. So as long as you're repentant, it doesn't matter

  what you do (as long as it's not apostate stuff?)

  It's almost embarassing to be American right now. Everytime I see that clip of Perry

  at the debate last night I cringe. Cain makes my skin crawl and Bachman terrifies me.

  Anyone else feel the same?

  Should There be a Petition Asking the Watchtower Society to Retract its "Mentally Diseased" Statements?

  by DT in

  of course, i would be very surprised if the watchtower society ever retracted or apologised for anything.

  still, it could gain a lot of publicity and put pressure on them to curb their hate speech.

  if they refuse to apologise, it could demonstrate that those statements were intentional and not just a slip of the printing press.

  All I can think of is this George Orwell quote from 1984 regaring the JW masses...

  "until they become conscious they well never rebel, and after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."
