  Elders? do the rest of us know what they know..?

  what things about elders do only elders know and the rest of us dont?

  i never knew they had a hand book till i came on here.

  unsure why they dont mention it because surely its not meant to be a secret?.

  Hello AE,

  My child's molester has been put in prison for his acts against my child as well as others and was never disfellowshipped as well. I'm at a total loss as to why not and that along with how we were treated has lead our family to question everything we knew about our loving ORG.(?) I can't understand how the most innocent of Jehovah's sheep mean so little to the men who deal with these cases within the congregation.

  In my opinion after knowing first hand how things are done I don't see any child being safe within the congregation and that makes me really sad because I really thought we were in a spiritual Paradise with our B/S instead it seems the only Paradise is for the molesters who have more rights then the victims.

  If you have children please be aware it's never the brother who gives you the creeps I mean I thought I was really good at picking out the bad guys. It's always the one you and the whole congregation least expects.

  I so agree with Mrs. Jones.

  Take care of yourself, get some counseling and let you loving girl know, your doing it to be a better man... because she deserves having all of you complete.

  Best wishes seekingsanity.

  I would say at this point... YES.

  My child was molested by a fellow JW a few years ago, we were treated poorly by the elders and ignored by most when we needed them most. This lead us to question everything and lead me to the internet.

  Not only was the innocence of my child lost by someone we trusted, but we are also losing our faith in a religion who just doesn't want to deal with such ugly truths and have no idea how to help victims and their families (so they do nothing) It's been tough!

  My son put it best when he said "one day everything was normal and we were happy and the next day everything was different." Sadly he's right.

  No beer at Chucky Cheese anymore?? That was the only thing, besides the kids smiles that made that place bearable..LOL

  Mrs. Jones my mother gave me my 13th birthday there as well. I was so humiliated(drama queen) by the giant mouse singing to me I swore I would never step foot in that place.

  Then I had kids

  alone in the hse with opposite sex....is it crazy ??? or not??

  by angel eyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  regarding being in the house with someone of opposite sex...thats a conscience thing too, the individual decides yet many claim that if they were seen in the house with someone of opposite sex they could stumble people..i think its them who have the problem, how can someone think the worse and make an accusation!?!?!

  they are the ones with the problem and should be counselled, not the ones together.

  its up to the individuals, we shouldnt have to take on other people consciences and be worried what others say...jehovah sees all things and at the end of the day we stand before jah's throne on judgment day not sister or brother so and so.

  Agree completely Dinah.

  My suggestion to them is put some serious issues, like the possibility of you child being molested by that wonderful loving brother in the congregation in the lime light. Let's tackle some serious issues instead of little stuff... like not wearing a jean skirt to the KH or being alone with the opposite sex not to mention the latest no holding hands during prayer.
