Correction: He wasn't an elder at the time of the molestation but he was in good standing at the KH. He remains a JW in prison.

Elders? do the rest of us know what they know..?
by angel eyes inwhat 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.

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.

So, Was Your Life RUINED Because You Were A JW?

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.

Laugh it up Mrs.Jones, I do. (now)
My daughter is 12 also and never had a birthday party we are recently inactive.
Maybe by 13 we will be out and I can give her a big surprise one at the big CC for memory sake. (she would kill me)

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
