i'm gonna play the skeptic today on a topic that is painful for a lot of people on this forum.
my intent is not to stir anything up but to make sure facts are confirmed.
bear in mind, i'm sickened by the wt's role (and the heirarchy down to elders) in child molestation cover-ups.
I seriously cannot believe some folks are arguing semantics. Reminds me of the WT stretching a bible verse to fit its theology.
Read the guy's caption. It's not ambiguous. He was explicitly stating that the child in the "image" was a rape victim from the Traralgon Congregation.
"The above pencil drawing is an image of a young child in the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses that was recently raped by a fellow member of the church."

Listen to yourselves! Goddammit, are you questioning whether this case was even legitimate? Sometimes I feel that the ex-JW community are worse than the damned JWs, nitpicking each other to death over trivialities! This is like chickens pecking that one chicken to death because of a feather out of place!
I'm not questioning whether or not the WTBTS has played a role in the molestation of children. I want justice and protection of JW children as much as you do. But IT IS NEITHER NECESSARY NOR DOES IT HELP THE CAUSE TO LIE.
If Mr. Unthank didn't falsely claim that an image was that of a rape victim that he was representing, this thread wouldn't exist. That's not nit-picking. It's pointing out a lie. It wasn't a misunderstanding. It wasn't hyperbole. It was a lie.

two ways to listen to the interview..... 1.. dial into the six screens of the watchtower conference call... 712-432-8710 and when asked for pin use # 9925 no computer is needed!
Anyone interested in this interview might want to consider this thread before hand:

Put aside that I hate to be lied to, it angers me to see a legitimate cause tarnished like this.

Who owns JW news.net? That's not affiliated with him, is it?

Yes he did, James. And there are a couple of other threads that carry a copy/paste of the original jwnews.net post.
(EDIT: No offense meant to the OP of this thread or any others whose hearts impelled them - out of good motive - to start those threads.)
...as for Steven Unthank...

Holy Sacajawea! It's been replaced by this steaming pile of BS:
Note from Steven Unthank: About a week ago I was sent a pencil drawing of a young girl crying. The picture touched my heart and the pain of this child’s helplessness made me too shed a tear. The image came from the family of a young rape victim in the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The drawing did not look like the child in anyway. I decided to use this picture as an “image”, not just to represent the abuse inflicted upon this families child that I have grown to care for, but for all the children. Last night I posted the image on this web page and described it as ”an image”. I used the phrase “image” to describe the drawing in the sense of a ‘mental image’ and a ‘representation’. Many people have been offended by my use of this drawing and I sincerely apologize for any offence I have caused. I have replaced the drawing with “the sun to make you happy” a drawing actually done by the young child I was referring to and given to me as a gift. Steven Unthank.
The above painting “the sun to make you happy” was personally drawn in by a young child in the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses who was recently raped by a fellow member of the church. Part of her rape included the insertion of Lego blocks into her vagina. This innocent child then went on to be criminally abused yet again, only this time by the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses and by the Watch Tower Society and by the Body of Elders within the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, when they refused to comply with mandatory child protection laws for “religious organisations” and for “ministers of religion” as legislated in the Working with Children Act 2005.

Shamus: I just went to the website and according to that website it IS the little girl. It is a "pencil drawing".
Shamus, my fellow primate, what exactly do you mean it IS the little girl?
