That's quite a interesting life you have had! I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. It's criminal the way they handle the crime of child molestation.

I'm so happy everything is coming out through these proceeding and I thank you for sharing your experience with the RC. I hope it some how begins the healing process for you.

anyone know who this monty baker is?

i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

I have a feeling she's going to come back full of attitude. I'm sure it was a very long lunch break for her!!

She gets paid for this? Seriously?

Do you feel vindicated by the exposure of the WT Society in Australia? It seems like a feeding frenzy on here! I love it. You?

by Wasanelder Once in

are you pleased with the exposure of the society in australia?

do you feel personally vindicated by it?

do you think it gives you credibility with others now that all the things you said were going on, actually are documented?

Heck yeah I do!! It's been a long time coming and watching them elders squirm is fabulous.

FMF Rant on Abuse and JW Apologists: The Single Root of the Whole Issue(s)

by freemindfade in

for the jw apologists, they debate certain factors to down play all the recent sex abuse information in the jehovah's witness organization.

and there is so much focus on "two witness rule" and "parents can report" the "elders aren't legal authorities" and many other smoke screen issues.

a lot of these issues and discussion are down stream from what i believe to be the root of the issue.

truthseekeriam

Well said! I totally agree and would add that not going straight to authorities first they are also exposing the victim to much more trauma then need be.

Governing Body, painted in a corner, now what?

by Wasanelder Once in

the governing body have painted themselves in a corner, so to speak.

if they acknowledge their response to abuse claims was insensitive, unloving and inadequate they are denying the belief that "god's way" is best and risk losing abuse cases.

if they stick with it and say it is "god's way according to the bible" they will be seen as cult leaders and risk losing abuse cases.

truthseekeriam

What Stealth said.

As long as they need money and free slaves to run this religion they sadly will keep protecting the men over the children.

Dragging Jehovah's name trough the mud!

by truthseekeriam in

jw
friends

listening to the first survivor testify to the australian royal commission really brought back some feelings i had put aside.. the feelings of guilt you feel for doing the right thing is extremely hard even when you know it's illogical it doesn't stop the abuse you do to yourself with these toxic thoughts of "dragging jehovah's name through the mud" i guess it doesn't help that you have the elders freaking out saying "reproach, reproach...this is bad!!

it took quite awhile for me to come to terms with how completely ridicules it is to think jehovah would want this hidden.

the truth is the religion wants it hidden and they are perfectly fine with destroying lives along the way!!

I truly hope speaking out even trough tears has been somewhat healing for her and I thank her for being so brave!!

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?

by Joe Grundy in

several threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.

fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.

a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

The way these elders conduct themselves during these " investigations" is criminal in itself!

My 10 year old went through the most horrible experience being questioned by the elders after her abuse. It only added to our trauma and was nothing we expected when we allowed them in our home.
