  Dissent on JW-Archive

  by bemused in

  2. beliefs

  in the posts about the australian royal commission there have been several references to discussions on jw-archive.

  i'd not heard of that site, so checked it out.

  it seems to be used by many active jws - its tumblr style archive is full of pictures of jws doing their thing.

  He might not realize it yet, but with his statements he is digging himself an even deeper grave...

  I thought something like this would happen when I saw his performance yesterday, he is pretty screwed

  He thinks it is clever to say: "2 witnesses and a confession is not enough" to save his own skin, but that will certainly come back and bite him in the ass, among other things...

  Extrapolation of the Australia child abuse numbers

  by sir82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  (let me know if anyone thinks my assumptions are way out of line, or if i've forgotten anything).

  basic facts:.

  the australian royal commission has 1000+ documented cases of child abuse over 65 years.

  And with an average of 2 or 3 congregations per KH auditorium, you have.....at least 1 pedophile per Kingdom Hall.

  If that is what you meant, I would agree with you. Not sure the average is 2-3 congregations per KH thou. In the cities yes but when you move away from the cities you will find a lot of congregations with one KH that they share with no one.

  At least where I live, only the big cities share KH's. The wast majority don't. It might be different where you live but I doubt the world average is 2-3 per KH.

  Correct me if I em wrong.

  What is the ratio worldwide?

  
  How many child molesters are caught, prosecuted, and registered in say, Brazil? or Mexico? or Nigeria? (All countries with multiple hundreds of thousands of JWs each).

  I don't know, I have not researched the matter properly.
  

  Maybe in the USA, where the overall problem is (finally) being publicized, the JWs do not have 13X the ratio of abusers in their midst. But how about elsewhere?

  I think a group of 320M people should give us a pretty good idea of what the percentage is, USA as far as I understand don't have mandatory reporting laws in all states either so it is similar to Australia?

  The world average and the percentage in Australia might be a little different but will probably be close to it; 0,1% - 0,16%.

  I would say maybe closer to 1 out of 100

  That would be 1% which would still be 7,7 times more than 0,13

  Which still sound way to high to me.
  
  

  That's still 1 or more molesters per Kingdom Hall auditorium. The scale

  If the average congregation consists of 80 members, you would need at least 1/80 to be pedophiles. This is 1,25% which would be almost 10 times more than society's average.

  
  

  Lets say that there are 3 times more pedophiles within the JW's than normal society, that is 300% more which is a lot, but lets say that this is the case.

  0,13*3=0,39

  100/0,39=256,4

  One molester for every 256 witnesses.

  If the average congregation contains 80 ppl... 256,4/80=3,2

  1 pedophile for every 3,2 congregations.

  this "confession" should be aired on the tv channel in regards to the investigation into jw's cover up of child abuse.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8cctyxnr-w. quite fitting, don't you think?

  This is getting more and more disgusting: "JW Abuse Victim Told to Bottle Her Tears"

  by cappytan in

  it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

  Yeah, it was in one of the letters from the branch to her in regards to her being upset that her father had been reinstated.

  It was mentioned a few times, I think it might have been mentioned in this video:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9SUSBJbmao&feature=youtu.be

  The letter is somewhere among these documents:

  EDIT: letters are at 1h 10min in, the name of them is read so you should be able to find them, they are also mentioned latter during the testimony of one of the elders.
