"This week, Sunday reveals the extraordinary story of how the Jehovahs Witnesses in Australia routinely cover up cases of child abuse in their ranks and obstruct police investigations. In a disturbing new twist to the scandals that have enveloped mainstream churches, Sunday penetrates the highly secretive Watchtower and Bible Tract Society the official name of the Jehovahs Witnesses which claims some 60,000 adherents in Australia."
"In a statement to Sunday, the President of the Watchtower Society of Australia, Harold Viv Mouritz, declines to be interviewed but says: My inquiries indicate that the elders involved did not give instructions not to report the abuse to the police. Mr Mouritz denies all knowledge of the concept of theocratic warfare and expresses the churchs abhorrence of child abuse."

Superman's quote 'bout JW's
by orphanannie inhttp://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=579&e=1&cid=638&u=/nm/20020917/en_nm/health_superman_dc
"there are religious groups -- the jehovah's witness, i believe -- who think it's a sin to have a blood transfusion.
well, what if the president for some reason decided to listen to them, instead of to the catholics, which is the group he really listens to in making his decisions about embryonic stem cell research?

*AUDIO* of our COVERT OPS & THE STORY
by zev ingwen and i went on a mission .
going in as a couple of "interested ones"...into a kh that i was reasonably sure i wouldn't be recongnized as the "uadna-ri" i went in with a hidden wire and tape recorder to get the "evidence".
on this site you will find links to 4 audio files... the first two are "the part", and the other two files are an audio clip of the "love bombing" attack we got when we left the first meeting, and the reading of a letter to "all congregations" concerning the discontinuation of subscriptions.. as with all jw things, it is interesting to hear the comments made by the speaker, things not written in the km, and views, attitudes, and references made when speaking of how to treat disfellowshipped family members.. all in all, i am glad we went on this misssion.

amazing recording! this is important and i'd love to see it get a wide hearing.
it's just made it onto the ex-mormon board, and comments are starting to be shared.
shades of sympathy from one cult to another, from what i can see.
thank you for making the recording. -

Mod's & Simon: Here is my SOLUTION!
by Mindchild inthe two poignant issues hotly debated on this board involve both banning posters who transgress established guidelines and the issue of using moderators to delete offensive posts.
there have been several reasonable points made on both sides of these issues and i think it fair to say that unless we come up with some creative thinking to offer some new alternatives that no matter what simon does he is going to have some people who are either happy or unhappy with the course of action he chooses.
indeed, the present controversies are fast becoming volatile emotional issues.. .
