Did You Personally Know Any JWs That Were Sexually Molested By Other JWs?
by minimus ini knew of a handful (which is too many) that were molested by a jehovah's witness.
it was not typical in my experience.
what about you???.

Your parents probably finally had a chance to do what they should have done for your sister back when it happened. Unfortunately your sister most likely needed them to fight for her then:(
My daughter was molested by a JW in our congregation and even though we went to the police you would be surprised at the guilt the elders make you feel. We heard reproach on Jehovah's name so many time I couldn't even count and sadly I admit when the elders left my home I almost felt guilty for going to the police(crazy huh) Most people will never know the added pressure that is put on you in a very critical time it makes you think things most free thinking people would never think. For good reason. From that moment on we were treated different we got the hint we might have not done the right thing(in their eyes) by speaking out and demanding justice from the worldly courts, which we did get.
Sad to say your parents probably really thought they were doing the right thing at the time and it wasn't until they stepped back and really seen things clearly did they decide to what they could. Too late? Sure. but at least the did something. Many keep there eyes closed and their opinions to themselves and that's how these creeps continue.

I know how your feeling Lori. We have been inactive the last 6 months or so and this is the first Thanksgiving we are alone Usually if we don't go visit the families at least one of them will come and visit us and we have a big family dinner, this year nothing. the in laws even forgot our anniversaryy earlier this month..I think they are sending us a message if we don't go back, this is what we have to look forward too!! It really is hurtful because they know they are all we have. I mean of course we lost all our friends once we stopped going to meetings and being a JW you don't make friends outside the Org and you stay away from the "wordly" family members...they really set you up to fall hard or go crawling back, and just try to stomach all the badness going on around you (can't do it)

Put them in sports it helps them meet kids outside the KH and there are many opportunities for team parties. Your kids will soon see that all kids are good not just the ones at the KH and in fact they are much less judgmental. They most likely will go along with your wife and enjoy it as young ones but once they hit the teenage years they will be super glad they have a Dad that will let them be themselves I have yet to see a teenager happy to be at the KH and out on service instead of at the park playing soccer or hanging out with the friends.

The comments on the 20/20 website are quite interesting. People that actually know them are giving you a little inside info.
Something I also thought was interesting was the prosecutor was the same one that got the conviction in that Simental molestation case. I wonder what he thinks of JW's.

I thought I would post this comment that was in the comment section on Part 1 of the story on the 20/20 website.
"I may or may not be one of the jurors. Kelle Jarka is a cold blooded killer who murdered his wife of 19 years while his baby was in the same room. The judge and jury heard three weeks of testimony and evidence. ABC only showed 30 minutes. The jury was able to hear dozens of lies Kelle Jarka made to police beginning from the 911 call. Jarka lied and changed his story every time he was confronted. Listen to the 911 call. He clearly says he returned home and heard the baby crying...so he picked up the baby and went upstairs and found his wife on the ground....But, in the interview with police and ABC, Kelle Jarka says he walked upstairs found his wife then entered his bedroom upstairs and picked up the baby. Kelle also told detectives in the 10 hour interview that he had never seen or touched the life insurance policies taken out on his wife. He claimed she did it and he did not know anything about them. The police found the policies hidden in the garage of his house. They had only Kelle’s fingerprints on them. One of the insurance agents testified at trial. He testified that he spoke to Kelle Jarka on the phone regarding the purchase of the policy. The agent never spoke to Isabelle. The policies were taken out over the internet, no physical required. Oh yeah, the policies were taken out using the same computer as the DEATH and MURDER searches. The same computer Kelle Jarka told police belonged to him and only he used. During the trial I lost count of how many lies Kelle Jarka told police. ABC did not have time to discuss all the evidence or lies. The amount of circumstantial evidence was overwhelming. It took weeks to get it all out in court. Even Kelle's own 12 year old daughter told police she knows her dad killed her mom. The judge knows it, the jury knows it, the daughter knows it, the police know it, and now you all know it. It makes me smile thinking about Kelle Jarka living in prison for the rest of his life with his NEW friends. Every day he will wake up and regret the day he decided to beat his wife to death. Great job DA's office, Judge, Jury, Police, Murrieta is a safe place because of you.

I really enjoy a night walk with my husband and kids and looking up at the starry sky, just talking and having no worries in the world for that moment.
