  Mad JW,

  Your right her having to sit there and face her abuser and a jerk of a defense attorney was hellfire..but the result was seeing her molester handcuffed and lead away Knowing she helped in making sure he wasn't going to harm another child.

  What she went through with the elders was also hellfire..but the results were waiting and waiting almost 4 years before he was even d'fd and for what? I'm not sure we heard it through the grapevine and verified it recently.

  Imagine being a parent and telling your child if you just tell the elders the truth you will help make sure he never hurts any of you friends in the KH and nothing happening. Imagine running to the phone knowing this is the day they are going to tell you he was being disfellowshipped and it never coming.

  We went through a trial and we all know how long of a process that is and still heard nothing. I mean it's not like he hadn't molested other children, he was on reproof for admitting to molesting 2 others when my child spoke up..that's 3 witnesses alone.

  Look, I know your an honest person. You feel what you feel. Only question is... could you be wrong?

  You have no idea, we sat like a couple of zombies letting it happen!! That's the one thing I will always have guilt over. I should have never allowed it, I just didn't know

  My child was molested after this policy change...

  We were still made to feel as we did something wrong by calling the autorities before the elders. Not verbally, but how we were treated.

  We heard the phrase "reproach on Jehovah's name" over and over agian along with "this is bad". We really felt almost guilty after the elders left our home.. well, really confused.. My child was questioned horriably for almost 2 hours and not one of those elders told us we could have just given them the story Dont they relize the damage they can do?? Do they care?

  It was a night I will never forget. They actually told us the molester had the just as much right as his victim to me in the KH?? How was that protecting the victim from further abuse as the NEW policy states? Of course we didn't allow her in the same room with the creep ever again until she had to face him in court.

  No Love..

  No support..

  No compassion..

  So unlike Christ Jesus.

  I pray for those going through it right now, because I know they're out there.

  JW Ministerial Servant sentence to 14 years for child porn

  by lavozsa in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my wife grew up with this family in her congregation so she was very familiar with them all.

  the person in the story that was sentenced was born into the "truth" and was a ministerial servant at the time of his arrest.

  his mother was a regular pioneer, father an elder and sister also a pioneer.

  Thank you Lady Lee. This needs to be heard over and over until every JW knows what I and many others didn't. That the ones you think the most highly of, could actually be the ones to tear you life apart by taking advantage of your trust!

  It's never the single brother sitting in the back by himself calling over young kids to sit on his lap. Instead it could be that family man brother who greats you at the door of the KH with a bear hug and a welcoming smile. The one who comments beautifully as his family looks at him with such pride. I would have never guessed my child would be molested by a man that loved his family so much(outwardly) someone who had a daughter the same age as out 9 year old little girl..never.

  Do you consider yourself to be quiet or outgoing?

  by mrsjones5 in

  2. friends

  something someone said on one of the popularity topics got me to wondering who on the board is quiet and who are the outgoing ones in real life.

  i'm a quiet person in real life, takes me a while to warm up to folks that i just meet, but if i really like a person my rarely used gift of gab comes out.. how about ya'll?.

  It depends on my mood. Usually, if I force myself to actually go out into the crowd I'm one of the loudest ones having a great time.. but I'm happiest just kicking it at home with the husband and kids.

  Lady Lee,

  You are such a brave woman!! I have so much respect and love for you even though I don't know you personally. I've cried through your story, but then I see how strong you are now and it gives so many of us who have been dealt a bad hand in one way or another something to strive for. You really are doing something special here and I just personally want to thank you
