  Is shunning a common religious punishment for reporting sexual abuse (or other crimes)?

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in other words, is it true that the watchtower is just like other religions when it comes to cover-ups?.

  from personal experience (with incest and doctrinal/financial fraud) in the watchtower i would say so.. especially when i compare stories like the one i read today:.

  "its impossible to know how many women have been raped by jewish men.

  They have no conscience, it's the only thing I could possibly come up with as to how they treat victims.

  Is child abuse becoming the 'Benghazi' of exJW's?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've been noticing a trend recently that seems to becoming prevalent in posts which i think is a little sad and counter productive where, whatever the topic is actually about, someone will be keen to remind everyone about child abuse issues within the wts.. any sort of abuse, especially that of children, is a very serious issue but i'm not sure it's prevention is necessarily best-served by brining it up at every opportunity.

  it ends up looking a little like the republican party's obsession with benghazi where they harp on about it to such an extent that people have become blind to it and it almost becomes a punchline.

  people become less and less convinced of the claims because they hear them too often.. trying to turn any discussion into including comments on it, however well-intentioned, starts to look misguided at some point.

   Being someone who has personally been effected by the child abuse issue I have been guilty of what you are bringing up.

   I have always found this forum a safe place to vent my feeling, which I admit are many. I really think we as posters post what we ourselves live. For some of us or at least myself, it happens to be this issue that really effects our thoughts. I'm sorry if it's not something you like, but it is me. At least at this time of my healing process :)

  Exactly what I was thinking OUTLAW!

  They now know they can no longer hide their scandals so instead they tell their members to lie to the householders. What a great way of showing what honest Christians they are.

  All I have to say is those records must be so damaging for them to refuse court orders and get thrown out of court.

   I can't help but wonder who is on that list!

  the noble fir.

  the fir tree stands silently in the corner of our living room: proud, erect, strong.

  even unadorned, it is beautiful.

  Doesn't it feel great??

  We left the blinds open and even added a Christmas wreath to our front door this year. Didn't even think twice about our JW neighbors

  By the end of 2015 I'm hoping the final loose end will be tied up for my little family to move on to a bright new future.

  I also informed my husband I will be sending in my letter of disassociation. It's something I need to do in order to move on completely. I don't want to be tied to such a damaging religion in any way.
