  Is paedophilia covered up in the UK?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social

  jimmy saville not being exposed until after he died.

  (too well connected with royalty & establishment figures?).

  the charities comission "enquiry" into the abuse by jw's resulted in nothing more than a telling-off for the "charity".. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (https://www.iicsa.org.uk) has so far been a damp squib.. the muslim paedophile gangs in england were tacitly approved of by police & social services.

  I also knew teens who worked on the ‘meat rack’ in Piccadilly Circus. A place for Rent boys. That’s 100% true what he says there,

  Some of you know I had a pretty rough childhood. I was in care for a while, and I can promise you this guy is absolutely right.

  For the local authorities, Its a combination of fear of being accused of racism, as Cofty said, (since the boyfriends are often dealers and black and the peadophiles are Asian gangs) and because of people in high places Involved in child abuse.

  Kids without parents to protect them, particularly over 12, are just written off.

  Edit: Just to say I barely know a single homeless addict who wasn’t sexually abused and neglected as a kid.

  i was musing on how many small churches there are.

  a single congregation made of moderate income people.

  often the pastor has a job on the side.

  JoenB75 I think that’s a very likely scenario.

  hi i’ve been learning to draw portraits, and one style i had a go at when drawing young children was a sort of kawaii or cute japanese style.

  i wanted to make gifts of these drawings so looked into writing in japanese script to add to the aesthetic.. but oh wow!!

  three types of script?!!

  But oh wow!! Three types of script?!! Did anyone here learn to speak Japanese when they were a JW in order to preach? I’ve read Amber Scorah’s book and am blown away that she managed to master Chinese to the point of running a pod cast!! Its incredible the lengths dubs will go to, I mean you have to admit many of them have the real missionary spirit.

  Anyway did any of you attempt to master Japanese and if so I’d love to hear your tips and experiences.

  Finky I don’t think Road to nowhere is a watchtower supporter. I guess he’s just dreaming that the missus and her cong would cut ties with Watchtower and have their own little place, cut the umbilical cord as it were.

  Stanley What I can’t understand is how the GB, like Sam Herd and David exSplain and Gerrit Lösche, who saw everything you did, can see the decline and snatch the publishers bought and paid for halls, and still believe god is running the ship.

  How can they really still believe?? Or at least believe they have gods blessing??

  Just to say it's a great book, too. Highly recommended by one of my favourite authors - Ian McEwan

  JIMMY the whole point is that she was horrified by his feelings (hard to talk without spoilers...)

  PHIZZY NO SPOILERS he said

  I just think of a heart broken mother sitting grieving somewhere. Not knowing who murdered her child or doubtless where the body of her child lay (since I'll wager these were gang related murders).

  All the time culprit is knocking on doors telling people they are evil sinners who will die soon if they don't become like him and his Watchtower buddies😳

  I believe Ray Franz drew attention to this letter?

  besides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.

  there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.

  so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

  There is absolutely NO WAY Watchtower would sanction meeting in homes!!

  That would leave them WIDE OPEN to more child abuse lawsuits...and believe me it’s more likely to happen in homes.

  ( hilarious they told you the book study finished due to zoning laws! It’s absolutely about lawsuits).

  Its possible they’ll have “mega Church\congregations” in Watchtower owned assembly halls though.
