Hundreds of JW Child Molesters in Australia not Reported to Police- CNN News you tube

by flipper in

i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

i thought this report was very well done.

here's the link : http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/28/australia-jehovah-witness-sex-abuse-hannigan-lklv.cnn.

Why hasn’t someone gotten real pissed off yet?

by John Aquila in

i keep reading of some guy who is so upset at someone that he goes into a theater and shoots 20 people..

or a kid that is so mad that the other kids made fun of him that he goes to school and shoots a bunch of kids..

or some guy that was fired from his job and he goes back and shoots of bunch of his workers.

Thinking about it, I would like to see how the news media and social media would react to violence against JW. What would people say about it? That would be of interest to me despite the shame of the actual event. The WT doesn't really interest a majority of the public as is, especially in the western world. So if something like that happened, would you have people say that they're sending out their prayers to the JW victims, even if they're not fond of them. Also, how would JW address the situation when they go out door to door? Would they try to ignore it?

@SimonSays you're crazy. We can't talk about this situation because of that shooting? Really? This thread is NOT making fun of victims of those crimes.

I've also wondered this myself. A lot of what's been stated is true. Most ExJW take ownership of their mistake in believing the WT. They go through the different stages of recovery and try to move on to what life they have left. Most have family in and do not want to go out as a criminal and further tarnish their name. I have personally felt like doing something. I realize though that it wouldn't help my situation and it would end any piece of a successful future I can possibly have. I do think that the possibility of something terrible happening to the WT would increase if there was a mass exodus. There are quite a few in the organization right now that have a few screws loose. If these people become aware of the TTAT.....it will be hell to pay. GB members Anthony 'Tight pants' Morris and Stephen "the Face" Lett will be prime targets. The WT would definitely have to triple up the security for those guys. All in all, while I wouldn't want to see it, I wouldn't be a surprise if it happened because the WT has hurt too many people. I'm sure either the victims of sexual abuse or the ones who've gave their WHOLE lives to the WT (i.e Bethelites, Missionaries, CO, Full time Pioneers) will be more likely to go postal.

Use of first names at the KH

by Sour Grapes in

jw
friends

have you ever noticed that know one uses first names at the kh?

it is how are you brother jones?

how are you sister smith?

whathehadas

The use of Brother/Sister always felt weird to me. We don't address real family like that. It was funny a few times when I had people in the congregation tell me to address them by their first name. One Sister in her late 20's who was married, wanted me to use her first name instead because she "felt old" with being called Sister SoandSo. LOL

Got the boot. Straight cold blooded

He seems sincere and this doesn't come across as a host. It will be interesting to see more videos from him. He just started a Youtube account.

JW's and Violence

by TD in

friends

my wife and i have recently gotten hooked on the history channel's series, vikings.

(my wife is full blooded norwegian....).

to be honest, the show is quite graphic in spots, but certainly no more so than a history book i own of the same time period.. anyhow, we made the mistake of mentioning the show if front of jw's last night and they were all thoroughly shocked that we watch it.. i tried pointing out that big chunks of the ot are not materially different and that even the confrontation between david and goliath would get an 'r' rating if it were visually portrayed in any detail at all.

I remember one CO who brought up violence in history when he said he visited a Holocaust museum. The violence in the bible was mentioned briefly but still there was a warning against entertaining violence. It didn't make any sense to me at the time. Just reading the account of Samson and visualizing the violence would be worst than ANY R-rated movie out. There was a scene in Dracula Untold, where Dracula fights and kills a entire army. This movie was R but didn't show all the graphic detail of a "real" battle.
